我们承认伟人在历史进程中的贡献。可人类生活的大厦从本质上说，是由无数普通人的血汗乃至生命所建造的。伟人们常常企图用纪念碑或纪念堂来使自己永世流芳。真正万古长青的却是普通人的无名纪念碑——生生不息的人类生活自身。

有两种情况，创造的圣洁之美变得耀眼夺目，它们同时发生。一种是我们感到自己对世界的不足，另一种是我们感到世界对我们的不足。

"There are two occasions when the sacred beauty of Creation becomes dazzlingly apparent, and they occur together. One is when we feel our mortal insufficiency to the world, and the other is when we feel the world's mortal insufficiency to us."

玛丽莲·罗宾逊

爱你所做的，做你所爱的。

Love what you do, and do what you love.

大多数正派的女人都是隐藏的珍宝，她们安危无损是因为别人没去寻找她们。

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.

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。
