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

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

The greatest glory in loving lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

The greatest enemy to human potential is your comfort zone

Hope might be a good breakfast, but it makes a very poor dinner

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. 

Never underestimate the importance of small steps. small steps = big changes. 

In order to become better than anybody else you must first become better than yourself.

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

When you make a mistake, take another chance. Only when you choose not to do so do you fail.

Skills are built not born.

Mathematics Is not a spectator sport. The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.
