Let me explain. I think it would be very unusual for anyone here, or anyone watching, to be envious of the Queen of England. Even though she is much richer than any of you are, and she's got a very large house, the reason why we don't envy her is because she's too weird.

True innovation happens when you question the assumptions everyone else accepts.

A distributed system is one in which I can’t get any work done because some machine I’ve never heard of has crashed.

Ask not what your country can do for you --ask what you can do for your country.

为了成功，你必须愿意失败。
