时光镌刻在年轮上，一圈一圈的，可以永远重叠下去。听说晋祠的周柏有五千年的历史了。但人的生命却很短暂，仿佛一盏茶的工夫我们就老了。总有人说，一万年太久，只争朝夕。仿佛这样才是对时间足够尊重。
Time engraved on the annual ring, circle around and never stop. I have heard of a cypress in Jinci Temple was planted in Zhou Dynasty, for already five thousand years of history.
While human life is transient, like old people say, ten thousand years too long, seize the day, sounds like this is the only way to show their respect for time.
但，人生很多事急不得,你得等他自己熟。有些时间就是要被“浪费”，弯路本身就是人生的必经路。所以我们回头看，常不记得那些争分夺秒的时间，却总能记住那些用心费力的岁月。这可能才是留住岁月的最好方式。
However, you can’t rush a lot of things of life and have to wait for its maturity. Sometimes time should be "wasted", detour is the inevitable way of life. When we look back, trivial details can’t be remembered but experience of hard work. Maybe this is the best way to keep the days.
要耐得住性子，要经得起寂寞，要不断试错和推翻，这就是所谓匠心吧。
Patience, loneliness and keep trying, I think this is so-called the ingenuity.
老滕说，小阳台装不下他做的这些东西了，就干脆做了个工作室，也常有人问我，小鱼数学是怎么起步的？说来惭愧，一开始就想做点兼职，但发现没有好用的教材，就开始自己写教材。大概世界上的很多事情都是从“我不满意”开始的。
Teng said that the balcony is so small to keep the things he made, so he built a studio. People always ask me, how did the Mathgic start? To be honest, from the beginning I just wanted to do some part-time job, but satisfied textbooks for me was so hard to found, then I began to write my own textbooks. Probably a lot of things in the world are started with "I don’t like it."
我不满意，我不能忍，我不妥协，所以我愿意花更多的时间去磨你，去敲打你，去改变你。
I don’t like it, I can’t take it, I don’t compromise, so I prefer to spend more time to persuade, to deliberate, to change.
老滕说他尊重每一块木头，每一块都是生命的延续。而小鱼数学尊重每一个孩子，聪明的、调皮的、内向的、不那么灵光的，每一个都是上苍的恩赐。只要你愿意付出时间，总能有所得以回应你这份初心。
Teng said he respect every piece of wood, it is an extension of life. Mathgic respect every child, they are clever, naughty, introverted, and maybe some of them are not so sagacious, but each one of them is a gift from God. As long as you are willing to devote time for this, you can get the gains to respond to your beginner’s mind.
用时间，留住岁月。
用匠心，抵达初心。
是的，匠心才是对时间最好的尊重。
Time, to holding back the days.
Ingenuity, to reach the beginner’s mind.
Yes, ingenuity is the best respect for the time.
