"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
"You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle."
"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way (...) to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
"People say you have to have a lot of passion for what you're doing and it's totally true. And the reason is because it's so hard that if you don't, any rational person would give up. It's really hard. And you have to do it over a sustained period of time. So if you don't love it, if you're not having fun doing it, you don't really love it, you're going to give up. And that's what happens to most people, actually. If you really look at the ones that ended up, you know, being "successful" in the eyes of society and the ones that didn't, oftentimes, it's the ones [who] were successful loved what they did so they could persevere, you know, when it got really tough. And the ones that didn't love it quit because they're sane, right? Who would want to put up with this stuff if you don't love it?
So it's a lot of hard work and it's a lot of worrying constantly and if you don't love it, you're going to fail. So you've got to love it and you've got to have passion and I think that's the high-order bit.
(...) you've got to be a really good talent scout because no matter how smart you are, you need a team of great people and you've got to figure out how to size people up fairly quickly, make decisions without knowing people too well and hire them and, you know, see how you do and refine your intuition and be able to help, you know, build an organization that can eventually just, you know, build itself because you need great people around you."
The end user’s experience of the delivery of wanted items is as important, if not more important, than his or her discovery experience.
End users rely on and expect enhanced content including summaries/abstracts and tables of contents.
An advanced search option (supporting fielded searching) and facets help end users refine searches, navigate, browse and manage large result sets.
Important differences exist between the catalog data quality priorities of end users and those who work in libraries.
Librarians and library staff, like end users, approach catalogs and catalog data purposefully. End users generally want to find and obtain needed information; librarians and library staff generally have work responsibilities to carry out. The work roles of librarians and staff influence their data quality preferences.
Librarians’ choice of data quality enhancements reflects their understanding of the importance of accurate, structured data in the catalog.
其實行內有一講法是相當可以看到相關問題的重點，常言竟有比賽劍道和考試(升段)劍道之不同習使手法和身姿，這已經道出死結所在，其實應該不能有如此的氣候來主導劍道圈，真正是比賽和考試都是相同的要求，就是注重「氣、劍、體」。若裁判員不給有效一分給扭身怪姿的劍手，那會出現扭身怪姿的劍技嗎?就是因為裁判給予有效，那便令求勝心切的劍道人去依樣畫葫蘆，最後便出現今天口中講一套場上做另一套的比賽劍道，就是所謂西方運動化論點之「中 point 」，擊中比動作形態過程重要，如步西洋劍後塵。
“They are kicking out, they are fighting, they are refusing, sometimes having tantrums, hiding on the table.
“It’s simply because they can’t cope, they haven’t got the maturity to cope and they haven’t got the ability to express it. This carries on through the education system. They are switched off at four and they never become switched on again.”

Common sense finally gave up the will to live, after a women failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
