I can, therefore I am.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
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 My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.
