人们变得文明，不在于他们愿意相信的程度，而在于他们愿意怀疑的程度。

How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life.

As data grows, so does the complexity of managing it. The challenge is to keep the systems simple and efficient.
