A person is more than an existing category.
一个人永远多于任何已有的类别。
Every person deserves an opportunity to understand what is distinctly their own.
每个人都值得一次机会，去理解什么真正属于自己。
Why We Exist我们为何存在
Many people move through education, work, relationships, and everyday life using definitions that were prepared for them by someone else.
许多人走过教育、工作、关系与日常生活，却一直使用着由他人预先准备好的定义。
Some know that these definitions are incomplete, but do not yet have the time, language, or distance to understand what is missing.
有些人已经感受到这些定义并不完整，却尚未拥有足够的时间、语言或距离，看清缺少的究竟是什么。
Concept of I was created to make that act of understanding possible—and to give it a form that can be read, seen, and carried forward.
Concept of I 因此而存在：让理解自己成为一件可以发生的事，并赋予它能够被阅读、被看见、也能够继续带向未来的形状。
What We Believe我们所相信的
Understanding should not demand reinvention.
理解自己，不等于必须重新发明自己。
A considered answer requires time, attention, and boundaries.
认真形成的答案，需要时间、注意力与清晰边界。
A Concept should remain useful after the book is closed.
一本 Concept Book 合上以后，Concept 仍应继续发挥作用。
Not self-optimisation不是自我优化
You do not need to become more acceptable in order to become more understood.
你不需要先变得更符合期待，才值得被更准确地理解。
Quality and Capacity质量与承接标准
Concept of I accepts a limited number of commissions because attention cannot be multiplied without consequence.
Concept of I 每月仅接受有限数量的委托，因为真正的注意力无法在不影响质量的前提下被无限分配。
Pricing safeguards the time, research, judgement, bilingual writing, and visual composition required for each work. Limited capacity ensures that the standard of an accepted commission is never compressed by the volume that follows.
定价用于保障每份作品所需要的时间、研究、判断、双语写作与视觉构成；限制承接数量，则确保每一项已接受的委托都不会因后续数量而压缩标准。
Begin with what you have not yet named.
从尚未被命名的部分开始。
