I run a design studio in New York.?Every seven years, I close it for one year?to pursue?some little experiments, things that?are always difficult to accomplish?during the regular working year.?In that year, we are not available?for any of our clients.?We are totally closed.?And as you can imagine,?it is a lovely and very energetic time. 我在纽约经营一家设计工作室。每七年，我会停业一年去做一些小的试验，即一些在正常运营年里通常难以完成的事情。在这一年里，我们完全停业，不为我们的顾客提供服务。你能想象，那是一段非常美好，非常活力无限的时光。 I originally had opened the studio in New York?to combine my two loves, music and design.?And we created videos and packaging?for many musicians that you know,?and for even more that youve never heard of.?As I realized, just like with many many things in my life?that I actually love,?I adapt to it.?And I get, over time, bored by them.?And for sure, in our case,?our work started to look the same.?You see here a glass eye in a die cut of a book.?Quite the similar idea, then, a perfume packaged?in a book, in a die cut.?So I decided to close it down for one year. 在纽约经营设计室，我原本是为了整合我的两大最爱，音乐和设计。如您所知道的，我们曾为很多音乐家，甚至很多你们都没有听说过的，制作视频及包装。正如生活中的许许多多事情一样，当我意识到的时候，我已适应了这种生活，而且，随着时间的推移，我开始变得厌倦他们。能确定的是，于我们这样的工作，开始都是一样的。这儿你可以看到一只玻璃眼睛，冲压裁剪书本制作的，然后，一瓶用书本包装的香水，非常相似的方法，置于一个冲压模子内。因此，我决定停业一年，这是其一。 Also is the knowledge that?right now we spend about?in the first 25 years of our lives learning,?then there is another 40 years?thats really reserved for working.?And then tacked on at the end of it?are about 15 years for retirement.?And I thought it might be helpful?to basically cut off five of those retirement years?and intersperse them in between those working years.?(Applause)?Thats clearly enjoyable for myself.?But probably even more important is?that the work that comes out of these years?flows back into the company?and into society at large,?rather than just benefiting a grandchild or two. 其二，做这样的决定也是源于我对人活着的一种认知。首先，我们花费大概25年的时间学习，而接下来的另外40年差不多都预留给了工作，最后，退休，像是笨拙地挣扎在职业生命的尾巴上，这大概是15年。于是我想，何不从这15年的退休期里拿出五年将他们穿插入工作年，这或许对我的人生会有益处。而这样做确实让我身心愉悦，或许，更为重要的是，源自于这些美好
