so about seven, eight years now, and it was draining. I worked a lot of late nights.  至今已经七、八年了，慢慢的感觉有点厌倦了。我熬了很多夜，

　　I worked a lot of weekends, and I found myself never having time for all the projects that I wanted to work on on my own. 在办公室度过了很多的周末，我发现自己一直没有时间来做我真正想做的个人项目。

　　And one day I was at work and I saw a talk by Stefan Sagmeister on TED,  有一天我在工作的时候看到了施德明在TED上的演讲，

　　and it was called "The power of time off," and he spoke about how every seven years,  主题叫“时间流逝的力量”，他提到他每过七年，

　　he takes a year off from work so he could do his own creative projects, and I was instantly inspired, and I just said,  就拿出一年时间来休假，抛开工作，做自己的富有创造力的项目，我的思路被他打开了，然后我说：

　　"I have to do that. I have to take a year off.  “我也要这么干，我要休一年的假。

　　I need to take time to travel and spend time with my family and start my own creative ideas." 我需要时间旅行，陪伴家人，开始自己的富有创造力的想法。”

　　So the first of those projects ended up being something I called "One Second Every Day." 我的项目中，第一个项目的名字叫“每天一秒钟”。

　　Basically I'm recording one second of every day of my life for the rest of my life, 大意就是我每天都坚持给自己录一秒钟的视频，下半辈子一直坚持下去，

　　chronologically compiling these one-second tiny slices of my life into one single continuous video until, 慢慢的将这些一秒钟的视频拼接起来，将我的生活的片段拼接成一段连续的视频，

　　you know, I can't record them anymore. 直到我没有能力再录制这些视频为止。
