Skills are built not born.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer.

We are all maths people : step 1 - do maths and step 2 - be a person. 

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Success is the sum of small repeated efforts, day in and day out.

Pure mathematics is in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

Procrastination is the thief of time and the enemy of success.

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

The bad news is time flies, the good new is that you're the pilot.

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

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

We learn more from failure than we do from success.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal.  It is the courage to continue that counts.

Our fixed mindset builds our cage, fear keeps us in it.
