All the splendor in the world is not worth a good friend.

人世間所有的榮華富貴都比不上有一個好朋友。

It‘s great to have a good friend, but I think it‘s greater and more splendid to have a considerable amout of wealth.

Because wealth can bring us much more people to meet and then we have more chances to make friends.

From the other interesting perspective, I mean to say, that, wealth and friends may can transfrom into each other if used in an effective way.

Having a lot of good friends means that you have a broad network which may provide you some helpful information about enriching your wealth.

And when communicating with different people, we not only can learn new things, we can also have the invaluable opportunity to broad our business.

But how to broad our network?

I think the first thing is to expand and deepen our knowledge, and the second thing is to accomplish something that can attract people, and the third it to communicate with people in an effective way.

Simplicity is the peak of civilization.

極簡是文明的極致。

From Jessie Sampter.

Simplicity is always better than complexity, especially in scientifical and technical world.

Thinking about many common things in our daily life, like books, computers, cell phones, when they were initially invented, the structrue and the manufacture process of them were very complex, only those professionals could master the skills of using or manufacturing them.

However, as time passed away, the technology had been improved, and the final goals might be to make the procedure simpler and easier so that most people can learn how to use or manufacture them only with a short period of training.

As a programmer, I think the most skilled ones may be who can solve the problems using the simplest and shortest codes.

Have you ever read the codes that you thought as bad-structured?

They could solve the problems as well, but if you want to make some changes to them, you may find it is difficult to make the codes clear.

So, always try to simple our codes, once we have successfully solved the problems using our codes, we should try to think about how to make the data-structure and program-structure clearer and more effective.

Don‘t measure your work by the lines of your codes, but by the quality of your codes.
