"The world is full of signs and wonders, but we walk past them every day without seeing."

宜安静，少说话，从容不迫，严谨及俭约，这些都是监督自己的良言。避多欲，盲动，心不专一，以此避免自己的缺失。在实践这些修养的过程中，能体会到恒字的秘诀。而在不间断的过程里，能体验出渐字的秘诀。

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.

所以勇往直前吧。跌倒吧。你会从地上看到一个不同的世界。

At that age， I'd take any excuse to make estimates and do minor arithmetic. I'd calculate our gas mileage -- figure out useless statistics on things like grocery spending. I'd been hearing an ad campaign about smoking. I can't remember the details， but basically the ad said， every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes off of your life: I think it might have been two minutes per puff. At any rate， I decided to do the math for my grandmother. I estimated the number of cigarettes per days， estimated the number of puffs per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I'd come up with a reasonable number， I poked my head into the front of the car， tapped my grandmother on the shoulder， and proudly proclaimed， "At two minutes per puff， you've taken nine years off your life！"
