Either you run the day or the day runs you.
I can, therefore I am.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Only the educated are free.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
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 My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.
