We don't compete with anyone but ourselves to be the best we can be.

We must listen to what the models are telling us, even when the message is uncomfortable.

跳著舞的流水啊!当你途中的泥沙为你的歌声和流动哀求时，你可愿意担起他们跛足的重担?

If a listener nods his head when you're explaining your program, wake him up.

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. The best way to predict the future is to invent it. The most important thing in a database is the data model. If you get the data model right, everything else will follow.

我不害怕死亡，我害怕没有真正活过。

你有梦想，你必须保护它。

The best way to predict the future is to create it.
