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. 

Skills are built not born.

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Dreams don't work unless you do.

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

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

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

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

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

Don’t practice until you get it right, practice until you can’t get it wrong.

99% of failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

Try and do one thing each day that you would really rather not do.

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

It is never too late to turn an unproductive day into a productive one.
