Career Inspiration of the Week:

Always seek to learn every single day, read a book, or read an article. Find more ways to learn these concepts, and do not only learn them but study them after you are done learning. When you are learning, try to share your knowledge with students, engineers and overall develop your communication skills.

Quote of the Week:

“You don’t need to be excellent at everything you do, but be authentic, understanding, and be a good listener to those around you.” ~ Muzamil Husain, PE
