名声伴随着责任。

With fame comes responsibility.

珍妮·杰克逊

做科研要有‘十年磨一剑’的耐心和毅力。

人生如一场修行。得意时，一日看尽长安花；艰难时，潦倒新停浊酒杯。但生命的跋涉不能回头，哪怕畏途巉岩不可攀，也要会当凌绝顶；哪怕无人会登临意，也要猛志固常在。

The beauty of mathematics lies in its ability to connect seemingly unrelated ideas.

数学之美在于它能够连接看似无关的思想。

罗伯特·朗兰兹

让你快乐或不快乐的，不是你拥有什么、你是谁、你在哪里或你在做什么，而是你对此怎么想。

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.

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，但如果未经提炼，它就不能真正被使用。它必须被转化为气体、塑料、化学品等，以创造一个有价值的实体，推动有利可图的活动；所以数据必须被分解、分析，才能有价值。编程语言中最重要的东西是名字。没有好名字的语言不会成功。我最近发明了一个非常好的名字，现在我正在寻找一种合适的语言。预测未来的最好方法就是发明它。
