A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愿景
Vision
You come in off the street, through the doors of the theater. You sit down. The lights go down and the curtain goes up. And you're in another world.
你从街上,从剧院的门进来。你坐下来。灯光熄灭,窗帘升起。你在另一个世界。

作为市长,我有点缺乏远见——我不明白住房和振兴住房对于一个城市的意义。
t is not enough for me to ask question; I want to know how to answer the one question that seems to encompass everything I face: What am I here for?

I've always been profoundly ambivalent about fame. I think it just eats the reality out of you and it can be intoxicating because I like some of it.

Is it possible that software is not like anything else, that it is meant to be discarded: that the whole point is to always see it as a soap bubble?

You start to think bigger when you see how quickly a TV show can catch on in a whole country. That confidence, and thinking big, opened a lot of doors.

Facts do not speak for themselves. They speak for or against competing theories. Facts divorced from theories or visions are mere isolated curiosities.
事实不能说明一切。他们支持或反对相互竞争的理论。脱离理论或幻想的事实只是孤立的奇闻异事。
