To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Never complain and never explain.
After a storm comes a calm.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Well done is better than well said.
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 My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.
