The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Know or listen to those who know.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Never complain and never explain.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
After a storm comes a calm.
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 My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.
