Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Only the educated are free.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
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 My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.
