The best programs are written so that computing machines can perform them quickly and so that human beings can understand them clearly. A programmer is ideally an essayist who works with traditional aesthetic and literary forms as well as mathematical concepts, to communicate the way that an algorithm works and to convince a reader that the results will be correct.

Imagination creates reality.

水太清了就会见不到鱼，人太精明了就没有朋友。冠冕的玉旒，是用来遮蔽视线；用丝棉塞耳，是为了减弱听觉。

I don't let failure define me. I let it refine me.

I’m not a one-man show.
