The real romance is out ahead and yet to come. The computer revolution hasn't started yet. Don't be misled by the enormous flow of money into bad defacto standards for unsophisticated buyers using poor adaptations of incomplete ideas.

真正的浪漫还在前方，尚未到来。计算机革命还没有开始。不要被大量资金流入不良的事实标准所误导，这些标准是为不成熟的买家使用不完整想法的糟糕改编。

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. 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.

数据库是企业中最重要的软件，而企业中最重要的软件是数据库。数据库是所有应用程序的基础。数据库是应用程序的心脏，而应用程序是业务的心脏。性能的关键是将热数据保存在内存中。数据库的未来在云端。数据是新的石油。它很有价值，

人类最伟大的品质是勇敢，真正的勇敢是坚持。真正的勇敢是能够拒绝诱惑，始终如一的爱一个人，而这种勇敢在我们这个时代是极其缺乏的。

从容是真，宽释是福，有敬无畏，乐以忘忧。

一个国家的力量不仅仅是其强制能力，还包括其提供服务的能力以及在公民眼中保持合法性的能力。

The strength of a state is not just its ability to coerce, but its ability to provide services and maintain legitimacy in the eyes of its citizens.

弗朗西斯·福山

后真相（post-truth）的意思，不是没有真相，而是对这个世界来说，情绪的影响力已经超过了事实。后真相时代的来临，最核心的变化是人们越来越不关心真相，而只关心立场、态度和情绪。过去谣言泛滥，是因为信息太少了。而后真相时代，是因为真相太贵了。

假如你有幸在巴黎度过青年时代，那么，在此后的生涯中，无论走到哪里，巴黎都会在你心中。因为，巴黎是一个流动的圣节。

海明威

礼起于何也？曰：人生而有欲，欲而不得，则不能无求；求而无度量分界，则不能不争；争则乱，乱则穷。先王恶其乱也，故制礼义以分之，以养人之欲，给人之求，使欲必不穷于物，物必不屈于欲，两者相持而长，是礼之所以起也。

“礼治”是荀子的重要思想，荀子认为“礼”之起源，是为了保持物质和人欲的平衡。欲望，是人生来就有的，满足欲望是人的本性。但是人人都依自己的愿望行事的话，可想而知世界就会混乱不堪，而且外物有限，不能想要多少就要多少。所以需要制定“礼”来规范人们的行为，合理引导欲望。荀子认为“礼者，养也”，“礼”并非是刻意压制人的欲望，而是合理满足人的欲望，以及合理分配物质，使社会相对稳定。
