不论心中所向的是什么，他们都已做好准备，打出一片未来。所有人偶读陷入战争和英雄主义，追逐着荣誉和陈旧的死刑，而人性似乎越飘越远。 - 每日文摘

True power lies in controlling oneself, not others.

I hate when I'm on a flight and I wake up with a water bottle next to me like oh great now I gotta be responsible for this water bottle.

坎耶·韦斯特

春日已经来临，我们仍在冬季中踟蹰。

梭罗

Hard work, under the old system, meant doing as little as possible.

在旧制度下，努力工作意味着尽可能少做。

弗里德里克·温斯洛·泰勒

他感到孤独和无助，仿佛被整个世界遗弃了一般。

老舍

一生的特权是成为真正的自己。

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.

克拉克·穆斯塔卡斯

我不幸福，从来没有幸福这么一回事，不过我祝愿着黑夜永远不要结束，白天永远不要降临，白天一来就会让人们说：快点，生命在消失，必须好好利用时光。再说，我生没生下来，我活没活过，我是死了还是快要死了又有什么要紧的，我将一如既往像我一贯做的那样去做，根本就不知道我干了什么，我是谁，我从哪里来，我是不是还活着。

塞缪尔·贝克特

一个故事不像一条要跟随的路……它更像一座房子。你走进去，待一会儿，来回徘徊，在你喜欢的地方安顿下来，发现房间和走廊如何相互关联，外面的世界如何通过这些窗户的视角而改变。

A story is not like a road to follow...it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows.

安妮·卡森

孔子曰：“君子有三戒：少之时，血气未定，戒之在色；及其壮也，血气方刚，戒之在斗；及其老也，血气既衰，戒之在得。”

孔子

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.

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。数据库中最重要的东西是数据模型。如果你把数据模型做对了，其他一切都会随之而来。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。
