领导力在于做出今天艰难但对公司长远有利的决定。

I do think there is an important artistic component in what we do. As a technology company I’ve tried to really stress that.

History is humanity's collective memory.

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.

Innovation is not just about technology; it's about changing mindsets.

最重要的是能够像经济学家一样思考，透过这个视角看世界。
