If you think you can do it, you can.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Never complain and never explain.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
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 My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.
