““ I would like to give you the same advice that I got from my seniors when I was about to start my career – There is a lot to learn. I know that it is very hard to accept it but it is a fact that you should learn to live with, the sooner the better. Even after 20 years of working in various roles in Civil Engineering and Project Management, There are still many things that I keep discovering and learning. My advice to you is that you have a open mind for learning, ask questions if you don’t understand, feel free to say that you don’t know when you don’t know and not pretend that you know””
