Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
Who seeks shall find.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
After a storm comes a calm.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
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 My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.
