Always desire to learn something useful.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Wherever you are - be all there.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Who seeks shall find.
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 My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.
