Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
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 My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.
