Take small steps and run fast, iterate quickly.

Humility is a strength, not a weakness, in leadership.

When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable, we feel used and mistreated.

Innovation is not just about technology; it's about changing the way people think and live.

生命是一种通过性传播的致命疾病。

——《在东京中国留学生欢迎大会的演说》（1905年8月13日）

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. The future of databases is in the cloud.
