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.

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.

In every society, there are voices that are silenced; literature gives them a chance to speak.
每个职业都有每个职业要追求的尚。比如有同学问我,什么叫好律师,什么叫做好医生?什么叫做好的学者?我想问各位同学,好律师的标志是什么?好医生的标志是什么?好学者的标志是什么?有很多同学说,唉呀,老师,这个简单呀,什么叫好律师?收费贵赚钱多,一个案子收他2000万这个就叫好律师,什么叫做好大夫?Money,money,money,看能赚多。多少钱给你把把脉,500万,记得前几天有一个电视吧,那个电视说我平常不接咨询的,我们一咨询,一般来说啊,起价就是10万,打个一分钟电话就得10万,这个才叫好律师,这个才叫好大夫。这是色拉或马旭师的观点,他说一切的好都是看结果,能不能带来好的收益。有了好的收益,这才能叫好,如果一个医生穷光蛋,一个律师北京都没一套房。还能叫好律师吗?你配叫医生吗?我呸,我呸,你都是个穷人。还是好医生吗?而柏拉图怎么说呢?柏拉图说医生的本质他内在的尚,他要医术高尚这是他职业的内在要求,而作为一个好的医生。通常也会有好的收入和好的社会名望。好的律师,它有它内在的职业要求,要追求法律的公义。但是当你这么去做的时候,通常会有可观的收入,会有可观的社会地位,所以大家注意到,结果意义上的尚,做律师赚大钱,做医生有成就,这是它的附随结果。但是医生他本身有它的内在的尚,就是医术高尚。做律师也有它内在的尚,就是追求法律的公义。
