To the optimist, the glass is half-full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
We shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us.
Scientists study the world as it is; engineers build the world that has never been.

Now Let's see the funny side of engineering!!!!
Every technological success is hailed as a great scientific achievement; every technological disaster is deemed an engineering failure.
THEORY: when we know something but do not work. PRACTICAL: when we work something but do not know that is why engineers are combined theory & practical. NOW NOTHING WORKS & THEY DONT KNOW ANYTHING.
