One of the basic principles when you dealing with mathematics and Islam: Seek knowledge.
You are never too young to learn, never too old to change.
Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.
Continue to surprise those who would put you in a neat demographic. Be insistently curious.
Don't be afraid to ask questions.
Students ask me what is the best advice you could give me? And I say, 'Your mother's right.'
Seek education from the cradle to the grave.
Your Heavenly Father will help you find the right path as you seek His guidance. Remember though, after you pray you must get off your knees and start doing something positive; head in the right direction! He will send people along the way who will assist you, but you must be doing your part as well.
I can tell you, honest friend, what to believe: believe life; it teaches better that book or orator.
Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.
Live to live. Don't live to die. And never stop learning.
And to learn, you have to be willing to push yourself.
I consider myself a perpetual student. You seek and learn every day: from an experiment in the lab, from reading a scientific journal, from taking care of a patient. Because of this, I rarely get bored.
Don't just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.
Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas, but always be certain that a wider one is still possible.
Successful people ask questions. They seek new teachers. They're always learning.
