In business, as in life, you don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate.

可持续发展不是一种选择，而是我们对后代的责任。

处理难以处理的事，越是需要舒缓；对待难以对待的人，越是需要宽厚；处置非常紧急的事情，越是需要从容；处置至关重大的事情，越是需要镇定；处于遭到猜疑妒忌的艰难境地，越是需要胸中坦然，心无牵系。

出自先秦《荀子·哀公》。鸟被逼得走投无路之时就会用嘴啄人，兽到困窘之时就会用爪抓人，人到穷困潦倒之时就会设计骗人。以鸟兽困窘之时的行为为喻，说明人到穷困潦倒之时便会放弃道德操守的原因。

我们必须接受失望，因为它是有限的，但千万不可失去希望，因为它是无限的。

最好的领导者是那些赋予团队自主权并推动变革的人。

The database is the most important piece of software in the enterprise, and the most important piece of software in the enterprise is the database. The database is the foundation of all applications. The database is the heart of the application, and the application is the heart of the business. The key to performance is to keep the hot data in memory.

Never compromise your integrity for short-term gain.
