Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Wherever you are - be all there.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Who seeks shall find.
You never know what motivates you.
It's always too early to quit.
If you think you can do it, you can.
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 My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.
