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. The future of databases is in the cloud. Data is the new oil. It's valuable, but if unrefined it cannot really be used. It has to be changed into gas, plastic, chemicals, etc to create a valuable entity that drives profitable activity; so must data be broken down, analyzed for it to have value. The most important thing in the programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name and now I am looking for a suitable language.

We cannot change the past, but we can change how we view it.

If we farm the sea the way we farm the land, we will repeat the same mistakes.

Profitability and purpose are not mutually exclusive.

在商业中，最重要的是拥有可持续的竞争优势。

努力永远不会停止。

Those who cannot remember the past arecondemned to repeatit.
