预测未来的最好方式就是去创造它。 - 每日文摘

外观往往和事物的本身完全不符，世人都容易为表面的装饰所欺骗。没有比较，就显不出长处；没有欣赏的人，乌鸦的歌声也就和云雀一样。要是夜莺在白天杂在聒噪里歌唱，人家绝不以为它比鹪鹩唱得更美。多少事情因为逢到有利的环境，才能达到尽善的境界，博得一声恰当的赞赏。

莎士比亚

世界就在你面前，你不必接受它或离开它，就像你进来时那样。

The world is before you and you need not take it or leave it as it was when you came in.

托马斯·沃尔夫

Greatness comes from believing in yourself and never giving up.

伟大来自于相信自己，永不放弃。

亚瑟小子

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.

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。
