Know or listen to those who know.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Wherever you are - be all there.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
I would say the most help I got was from my dad. My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.
