I live by the motto "Let's live beauty!" and believe:

• Justice is inevitable.
• Curiosity is essential.
• Collaboration is vital.
• The act of understanding can make the world more excellent.
• Science and art are complementary means of understanding experience through reason and intuition.
• For the enterprise of science to succeed, the methods and means to reproduce and test claims is required.
• For the enterprise of art to succeed, expression must be rooted in tradition and grow with new technologies.
• Coaxing art from utility reveals hidden beauty.
• Doing is a good way to learn; doing together is better.
• Code, communities, and cultures are living systems that learn.
• Good tools serve people, so try to make good tools.

Now go forth and be excellent!
