有时，我们要很有耐心。要等八年十年，工作才被认可。

我们还要很有自信，这样才能继续作下去。

这是科学工作者对待科研的一种心态。

走自己的路，坚持自己对美的认知和追求，欣赏自己的工作，使得我们能保持这种心态。

Sometimes , we need to be patient. We need to wait for 8-10 years before our work was recognized.

We also need to be confident about ourselves, so we can continue to work without recoginition.

This is a state of mind of scientists to do research .

Go our  own way, keep our own style, and enjoy our own work. This way, we can keep this mentality. .
