生活是一段旅程，而不是目的地

Nicole Tietz:

As a principal engineer, I view it as my role to keep us off the bleeding edge as much as possible. That way, when we really do need to innovate, we have the capacity to do so. And when we don't need to, we can go really freaking fast.

作为一名首席工程师，我认为这是我的职责，尽可能让我们远离流血的边缘。这样，当我们真的需要创新时，我们就有能力这样做。而当我们不需要创新的时候，我们可以走得非常快。

狄更斯-远大前程 Great Expectations:

That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. BUt, it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause, you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers... that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.

那一天对我来说是难忘的一天，因为它给我带来了巨大的改变。想象一下，有一天被剔除，想想它的进程会有多不同。停下来，你们这些读到这篇文章的人，想想那长长的铁链或金链，荆棘或花朵。。。如果不是在一个值得纪念的日子里形成了第一个环节，这永远不会束缚你。

Destination means death to me. If I could figure out a way to remain forever in transition, in the disconnected and unfamiliar, I could remain in a state of perpetual freedom.
