Yuan Longping's famous sayings:

1. People are like seeds, they must be healthy in all aspects.

2. The secret of happiness is to have pursuit, hope and good health. If you have no hope of realizing what you pursue no matter how hard you try, you will not be happy. If you think about fame, gain and loss all day long, you will not be happy.

3. As a scientist, you cannot be superstitious about authority or books, nor can you be complacent or arrogant just because you have achieved a little achievement. Science has no limits. Only by daring to explore and innovate can we achieve continuous results and create new things.

4. In scientific research, we must have the courage to explore and innovate. This is the key. When engaging in scientific research, you should respect authority but not be superstitious about it. You should read more but not be superstitious about books. The essence of scientific research is innovation. If you don’t respect authority and don’t study, innovation will lose its foundation; if you believe in authority and books, there will be no room for innovation.

5. I am in my 70s, with a body in my 50s, a mentality in my 30s, and the muscle elasticity of my 20s.

6. Although there is a planet named after me in the sky, there are portraits of me everywhere on the ground, and my name often appears in various media, I definitely don’t feel like I’m in the cold. Because I still have a childlike innocence, I don’t like being old-fashioned, I don’t like being serious.

7. Books and computers are important, but books and computers cannot grow rice!

8. People need to eat, clothe, and survive. They cannot do it without money, but they must come from the right place and rely on their own honest labor. If you have money, you should use it in the right way. You should neither squander it in vain nor be stingy. I love simple life.

9. When I graduated from college, my classmates summarized two things for me: Hobbies: "freedom"; Specialties: "Undisciplined". The sum total is "Freedom and Undisciplined". I also like freedom and freedom.
