Quotes from Peter Hollins
"There's not a single subject you can't understand with perseverance and the occasional stretch of hard work. Resolve yourself to not giving up. Make plans for how you will learn. Be forgiving of yourself if you need to take a lot of time and mark your progress as you go along."

"There's nothing like the satisfaction of knowing you're doing something well, that you've worked and practiced hard to achieve your own standards of excellence. That's what mastery is: the drive to improve our skills or knowledge in areas we're passionate about."

"Talent praise only reinforces the notion that success or failure rests on an inborn, unchangeable, static, and stagnant trait. Process praise applauds the effort and work - the action that's taken to get to the next step. You want to reinforce the idea that talent is unimportant, whereas effort is everything."
