Don't expect to be good at maths or understand things straight away. Be patient and persistent. Rome wasn't built in a day, but they worked on it every single day. 

Failure to prepare = preparing to fail

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path.  Sometimes they're the ones that lead you to the best places.

Don’t compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to the person you were yesterday.

Life is full of opportunities. With every opportunity that is missed, another one is born.

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

Work like you don't need the money, dance like nobody's watching and love like you've never been hurt. 

There are no bad mistakes in maths, only discoveries.

Each day is an opportunity to improve. Aim to be that little bit better than yesterday and better tomorrow than today.

The gift of imperfection - let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

The wise person knows that no answer is also an answer

There is no talent here. There is hard work and obsession. You could be anyone if you put in the time.

Go as far as you can see, when you get there, you’ll be able to see further

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.
