What carries us through times of rapid change is the openness to learning and starting anew.
The word for crisis, 危机, translates two ways: “danger occasion,” but also “danger opportunity.” In this thinking, every crisis creates an opportunity.
Leibniz put it thus: “The soul is the mirror of an indestructible universe.”
People who read the tabloids deserve to be lied to.
Forty to 60 I would say is your prime. That's when you know the most, you've seen the most, you understand the most, and you still have some physical energy. Jerry Seinfeld
The truth transcends words and forms. All things speak of God, be they flowers or stones or boxes of plastic, wire, and microchips.
What I’ve enjoyed from the beginning is that with programming there’s … a very direct line between having an idea and making it happen. It’s just you versus yourself: you ask yourself, can you focus, can you create a good design, can you implement it?
—MICHAEL BUDIANSKY, FOUNDER, QUADRIVIO CORP.
In Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, the priest Alyosha urges a group of boys to create these kinds of vital memories, the ones that can inform a person’s whole life:
You must know that there is nothing higher and stronger and more wholesome and good for life in the future than some good memory, especially a memory of childhood, of home. People talk to you a great deal about your education, but some good sacred memory, preserved from childhood, is the best education. If a man carries many such memories with him into life, he is safe to the end of his days.
The computer programmer is a creator of universes for which he alone is responsible.
—JOSEPH WEIZENBAUM, MIT PROFESSOR OF COMPUTER SCIENCE, AUTHOR, COMPUTER POWER AND HUMAN REASON
The future is an illusion; nothing happens until it happens.
See the tree and rainwater in every piece of paper.
“The most important aspect of my personality as far as determining my success goes; has been my questioning conventional wisdom, doubting experts and questioning authority. While that can be painful in your relationships with your parents and teachers, it’s enormously useful in life.” – Larry Ellison
“When you innovate, you’ve got to be prepared for people telling you that you are nuts.” – Larry Ellison
“You have to believe in what you do in order to get what you want.” – Larry Ellison
“You have to act and act now.” – Larry Ellison
“If you do everything that everyone else does in business, you’re going to lose. The only way to really be ahead, is to ‘be different’.” – Larry Ellison
Act confident, even when you're not.
The only way to get ahead is to find errors in conventional wisdom.
Think of it as you want it, not as it is!
I believe people have to follow their dreams-I did.
They don't call it the Internet anymore, they call it cloud computing. I'm no longer resisting the name. Call it what you want. Larry Ellison
We think we're going to be especially strong in platform where we have our two platform brands: our database brand is the Oracle Database 12c, and our programming language brand is this thing called Java. Larry Ellison
What is Oracle? A bunch of people. And all of our products were just ideas in the heads of those people - ideas that people typed into a computer, tested, and that turned out to be the best idea for a database or for a programming language. Larry Ellison
The power of modern computing lies not only in the capability of each machine, but in the connections the machines make to each other. When linked together in a company, a school, or, more broadly, on the Internet, computers can share information instantly across physical boundaries.
“Don’t ask where the path is. You’re on it.” In every step and every moment, where you go is up to you.
Zen asks us to face our fears directly, to “make a friend of fear.” Through training, students don’t seek to eliminate their fears so much as to recognize and accept them. The idea is to transform fear from an overwhelming opponent into a well-known part of ourselves, put in its proper place.
