Never, ever give up | Diana Nyad

Translator: Samra Cebiric Reviewer: Mirza Celikovic

It's the fifth time I stand on this shore,

Peti puta stojim na toj obali,

the Cuban shore,

Na obali Kube,

looking out at that distant horizon,

Gledajući udaljeni horizont,

believing, again,

ponovno vjerujući,

that I'm going to make it all the way

da ću uspjeti,

proći kroz ogromnu,

across that vast, dangerous wilderness of an ocean.

i opasnu divljinu okeana.

Not only have I tried four times,

Ne samo da sam pokušala cetiri puta,

but the greatest swimmers in the world have been trying since 1950,

nego su i najveći plivači svijeta

pokušavali još od 1950. godine,

and it's still never been done.

i još niko nije uspio.

The team is proud of our four attempts.

Moj tim je ponosan na moje pokušaje.

It's an expedition of some 30 people.

To je ekspedicija od nekih tridesetak ljudi.

Bonnie is my best friend and head handler,

Boni je moja najbolja prijateljica i glavni rukovodilac,

who somehow summons will,

koji probudi volju,

onu zadnju kapljicu volje iz mene, kad i ja pomisim da je nemam više,

that last drop of will within me, when I think it's gone,

after many, many hours and days out there.

nakon mnogo, mnogo sati, tamo na pučini.

The shark experts are the best in the world --

Stručnjaci za ajkule su najbolji na svijetu jer--

large predators below.

veliki su grabljivci dole ispod mene.

The box jellyfish, the deadliest venom in all of the ocean,

Meduze sa najjačim otrovom

u cijelom okeanu, su upravo u ovim vodama,

is in these waters,

i zamalo su me ubile,

and I have come close to dying from them on a previous attempt.

tokom prethodnog pokušaja.

Sami uslovi,

The conditions themselves,

besides the sheer distance of over 100 miles in the open ocean --

pored udaljenosti od preko 160 kilometara

na otvorenom okeanu --

the currents and whirling eddies and the Gulf Stream itself,

vodene struje,

i sama golfska struja, nepredvidiva više od svih struja

the most unpredictable of all of the planet Earth.

na cijeloj planeti.

And by the way -- it's amusing to me

Ono što je smiješno je da me

that journalists and people, before these attempts, often ask me,

novinari i ljudi stoje iza ovih pokušaja,

često pitaju,

"Well, are you going to go with any boats or any people or anything?"

"Hoćeš li ići sa brodovima,

i ljudima ili nečim?"

(Laughter)

And I'm thinking, what are they imagining?

Mislim se u sebi, o čemu oni razmišljaju?

That I'll just sort of do some celestial navigation --

Misle li oni da ću zvijezde koristiti za navigaciju,

(Laughter)

And carry a bowie knife in my mouth,

i ići sa nožem u ustima,

and I'll hunt fish and skin them alive and eat them,

loviti ribe i žive ih oderati i jesti,

and maybe drag a desalinization plant behind me for fresh water.

i možda povući za sobom fabriku za desalinizaciju vode

koja će mi proizvoditi pitku vodu.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Yes, I have a team.

Da, imam tim ljudi. (Smijeh)

(Laughter)

To je tim eksperata, i to je tim hrabrih ljudi,

And the team is expert,

and the team is courageous,

and brimming with innovation and scientific discovery,

taj tim je prepun inovacija

i naučnih otkrića,

as is true of any major expedition on the planet.

kao što je to slučaj sa svakom većom ekspedicijom na Zemlji.

Bili smo na putovanju.

And we've been on a journey.

And the debate has raged, hasn't it,

Debata je bijesnila, zar ne,

since the Greeks,

još od Grka,

of isn't it what it's all about?

debata o tome zar nije to najvažnije? Putovanje.

Isn't life about the journey, not really the destination?

Zar nije životna priča, priča o putovanju,

a ne o odredištu?

And here we've been on this journey,

Bili smo na ovom putovanju,

i ako ćete iskreno, bilo je uzbudljivo.

and the truth is, it's been thrilling.

We haven't reached that other shore,

Nismo došli do druge obale,

ali smo još uvijek osjećali ponos i posvećenost,

and still, our sense of pride and commitment,

unwavering commitment.

nepokolebljivu posvećenost.

Kada sam navršila 60 godina, san je još uvijek bio živ

When I turned 60, the dream was still alive

from having tried this in my 20s -- dreamed it and imagined it.

još od pokušaja kada sam imala 20 godina,

sam sanjala i zamišljala to.

Zamišljala sam da preplivam

The most famous body of water on the Earth today, I imagine,

od Kube do Floride.

Cuba to Florida.

And it was deep. It was deep in my soul.

Bilo je to duboko, duboko u mojoj duši.

Kada sam navršila 60 godina,

When I turned 60,

it wasn't so much about the athletic accomplishment,

više to nije bilo za mene puko atletsko dostignuće,

nije bio ni ego koji kaže: "želim biti prva koja će to uraditi."

it wasn't the ego of "I want to be the first."

That's always there and it's undeniable.

Ego je uvijek tu i to je nepobitno.

Ali ovo je bilo dublje. Bilo je o tome koliko još života ima?

But it was deeper.

It was "how much life is there left?"

Let's face it -- we're all on a one-way street, aren't we?

Kada razmislimo, svi mi idemo jednosmjernom životnom ulicom,

pitanje je šta ćemo uraditi?

And what are we going to do?

What are we going to do as we go forward, to have no regrets looking back?

Šta ćemo uraditi dok idemo naprijed,

da kasnije ne bi žalili?

Svu prethodna godinu treninga,

And all this past year in training,

I had that Teddy Roosevelt quote

na umu sam imala citat od Teodora Ruzvleta

to paraphrase it, floating around in my brain.

da parafraziram,

It says, "You go ahead.

kaže, "Budi,

You go ahead and sit back in your comfortable chair

slobodno budi u svojoj udobnoj fotelji,

and you be the critic, you be the observer,

i budi kritičar, budi posmatrač,

while the brave one gets in the ring and engages

dok hrabri ulazi u ring i bori se

and gets bloody and gets dirty and fails over and over and over again,

krvari, prlja se i pada, ne uspijeva mu,

i tako iznova i iznova,

but yet isn't afraid and isn't timid and lives life in a bold way."

ali ipak ga nije strah, nije bojažljiv,

živi život hrabro."

And so of course I want to make it across.

I tako naravno želim da pređem sa jedne obale na drugu.

It is the goal, and I should be so shallow to say that this year,

To je bio cilj, i bila bi plitke pameti kad bi rekla

da je ove godine odredište slađe

the destination was even sweeter than the journey.

od putovanja.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh) (Aplauz)

(Applause)

But the journey itself was worthwhile taking.

Ali samo putovanje je vrijedilo.

And at this point, by this summer,

Do ove tačke, ovog ljeta,

everybody -- scientists, sports scientists,

svi -- naučnici, sportski naučnici,

stručnjaci za izdržljivost, neurolozi,

endurance experts, neurologists,

my own team, Bonnie --

moj tim, Boni--

said it's impossible.

rekli su da je nemoguće.

It just simply can't be done, and Bonnie said to me,

Jednostavno je nemoguće, i Boni mi je rekla,

"Ali ako ćeš ipak ići na taj podvig,

"But if you're going to take the journey,

idem i ja sa tobom do kraja,

I'm going to see you through to the end of it,

računaj na mene."

so I'll be there."

And now we're there.

I sada smo tu.

As we're looking out, kind of a surreal moment

Dok gledamo, nekako nadrealan momenat

prije prvog zamaha,

before the first stroke,

standing on the rocks at Marina Hemingway,

dok stojimo na kamenju u mjestu - Marina Hemingway,

the Cuban flag is flying above,

kubanska zastava se vihori iznad nas,

all my team is out in their boats, hands up in the air,

cijeli moj tim je već u brodovima,

sa rukama u zraku govore mi, "Tu smo, tu smo za tebe"

"We're here!

We're here for you!"

Boni i ja smo se pogledale i rekle smo,

Bonnie and I look at each other and say,

ove godine, slogan je--

this year, the mantra is -- and I've been using it in training --

i to sam koristila na treningu--

Find a way.

NAĐI NAČIN.

You have a dream

Imaš san

and you have obstacles in front of you, as we all do.

i imaš prepreke na putu, kao i svi mi.

None of us ever get through this life

Niko nije prošao kroz život

without heartache,

bez teškoće i boli,

bez nemira,

without turmoil,

and if you believe and you have faith

i ako vjeruješ

i možeš pasti i opet ustati

and you can get knocked down and get back up again

and you believe in perseverance

i vjeruješ u istrajnost

as a great human quality,

kao veliki ljudski kvalitet,

naći ćeš svoj put, i Boni me zgrabi za ramena,

you find your way.

And Bonnie grabbed my shoulders,

i reče mi, "Nađimo put do Floride."

and she said, "Let's find our way to Florida."

And we started, and for the next 53 hours,

Krenusmo, i naredna 53 sata,su bila žestoko, nezaboravno životno iskustvo.

it was an intense, unforgettable life experience.

su bila žestoko, nezaboravno životno iskustvo.

The highs were high, the awe --

Strahopoštovanje.

I'm not a religious person, but I'll tell you,

Nisam religiozna osoba, ali da vam kažem,

biti u golfskoj struju azurno plave boje

to be in the azure blue of the Gulf Stream

as if, as you're breathing,

kao da, dok dišete,

you're looking down miles and miles and miles,

gledate dole gdje su kilometri, kilometri i kilometri

to feel the majesty of this blue planet we live on --

osjećate veličanstvenost ove velike plave planete na kojoj živimo,

to uliva strahopoštovanje.

it's awe-inspiring.

Imam listu od oko 85 pjesama,

I have a playlist of about 85 songs,

and especially in the middle of the night ...

i posebno usred noći,

a te noći, jer ne koristimo svjetiljke--

That night, because we use no lights -- lights attract jellyfish,

svjetlost privlači meduze, svjetlost privlači ajkule,

lights attract sharks,

svjetlost privlači grabljivce,

lights attract baitfish that attract sharks,

so we go in the pitch black of the night.

i tako idemo kroz mrkli mrak.

You've never seen black this black.

Nikada niste vidjeli nešto tako crno.

You can't see the front of your hand,

Ne vidite svoju ruku,

and the people on the boat, Bonnie and my team on the boat --

niti ljude na brodu

Boni i moj tim na brodu,

they just hear the slapping of the arms,

čuju samo udarce ruku o vodu,

and they know where I am,

i tako znaju gdje sam,

because there's no visual at all.

jer se apsolutno ništa ne vidi.

And I'm out there kind of tripping out on my little playlist.

A ja sam tamo lagano cupkam

uz svoju listu pjesama.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I've got tight rubber caps, I don't hear a thing.

Na glavi mi je tijesna gumena kapa,

tako da ništa ne čujem.

I've got goggles and I'm turning my head 50 times a minute,

Imam naočale i okrećem glavu 50 puta u minuti,

and I'm singing ...

i pjevam:

(Singing) Imagine there's no heaven

Imagine there's no heaven

(Laughter)

doo doo doo doo doo

doo doo doo doo doo

It's easy if you try

It's easy if you try

doo doo doo doo doo

doo doo doo doo doo

And I can sing that song a thousand times in a row.

Tu pjesmu mogu pjevati hiljadu puta zaredom.

(Smijeh)

(Laughter)

Now there's a talent unto itself.

Samo to je talenat za sebe.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh) (Aplauz)

(Applause)

And each time I get done with,

I svaki puta kada otpjevam

(Singing) Oh, you may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one

Ooh, you may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one

222.

222.

(Singing) Imagine there's no heaven

Imagine there's no heaven

(Laughter)

I kada sam došla do kraja hiljadite pjesme od

And when I get through the end

of a thousand of John Lennon's "Imagine,"

Džon Lenona - "Imagine,"

I have swum nine hours and 45 minutes ...

plivala sam 9 sati i 45 minuta

exactly.

tačno.

(Laughter)

And then there are the crises.

A onda tu su krize. Naravno.

Of course there are.

And the vomiting starts, the seawater -- you're not well.

Počinje povraćanje,

morska voda, ne osjećam se dobro,

You're wearing a jellyfish mask for the ultimate protection.

nosim zaštitnu masku u slučaju da naiđu meduze.

It's difficult to swim in.

U tome je teško plivati.

It's causing abrasions on the inside of the mouth,

Uzrokuje ojede unutar usta,

ali zato vam pipci ne mogu ništa.

but the tentacles can't get you.

And the hypothermia sets in.

Zatim dolazi do hipotermije.

The water's 85 degrees, and yet you're losing weight

Voda je 30° C, a ipak gubim na težini

and using calories.

trošim kalorije, i kada dođem

And as you come over toward the side of the boat --

do broda, ne smijem ga dirati,

not allowed to touch it, not allowed to get out,

ne smijem iz vode izaći,

but Bonnie and her team hand me nutrition

nego Boni i tim mi dodaju hranu i vodu

i pitaju me kako mi ide jesam li dobro,

and ask me how I'm doing, am I all right.

I am seeing the Taj Mahal --

počinje mi se priviđati vidim Tadž Mahal.

(Laughter)

Over here.

I'm in a very different state --

U potpuno sam drugačijem stanju,

(Laughter)

And I'm thinking, "Wow!

i mislim, wau nikad nisam ni pomislila

I never thought I'd be running into the Taj Mahal out here.

da ću naletiti na Tadž Mahal ovdje.

It's gorgeous!

Prelijep je.

I mean, how long did it take them to build that?

Mislim, koliko dugo im je trebalo da ga naprave ovdje?

To je tako-- tako, uh, vuuu. (Smijeh)

It's just ...

So, uh -- wooo -- you know?

(Laughter)

We kind of have a cardinal rule

I imamo glavno pravilo

that I'm never told how far it is, because we don't know how far it is.

da mi se nikada ne govori koliko još ima do obale,

jer ne znamo to.

Šta će mi se desiti

What's going to happen to you between this point and that point?

između tog i nekog drugog mjesta.

Šta će biti sa vremenom

What's going to happen to the weather and the currents

sa strujama i ne d'o Bog, da me ujede (meduza)

and, God forbid, you're stung,

when you don't think you could be stung in all this armor.

kada mislim da me ne može ujesti u svom ovom oklopu.

i Boni je donijela odluku

Bonnie made a decision coming into that third morning

trećeg jutra

that I was suffering,

dok sam bila u agoniji

and I was hanging on by a thread.

i visila sam o koncu

And she said, "Come here,"

i rekla je "Dođi ovamo"

and I came close to the boat, and she said,

kada sam došla blizu broda rekla je:,

"Pogledaj, pogledaj tamo"

"Look, look out there."

i vidjela sam svjetlost, jer danju je lakše nego noću.

And I saw light,

because the day is easier than the night,

i mislila sam da svanjiva,

and I thought we were coming into day.

i vidjela sam liniju jake svjetlosti

I saw a stream of white light along the horizon,

na horizontu,

and I said, "It's going to be morning soon."

i rekla sam: "Hoće li brzo svanuti?"

Boni reče, "Ne, to su svjetla Key West." (Ki Vest - grad na Floridi)

And she said, "No, those are the lights of Key West."

It was 15 more hours,

Imali smo još 15 sati plivanja,

which for most swimmers would be a long time.

što vi za većinu plivača bilo mnogo vremena.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh) (Aplauz)

(Applause)

You have no idea how many 15-hour training swims I had done.

Nemate pojma koliko mnogo petnaestosatnih treninga sam imala.

So here we go, and I somehow, without a decision,

I tako idemo i ja sam nekako nesvjesno

went into no counting of strokes

počela da brojim zamahe

and no singing

više nisam pjevala niti citirala Stephen Hawking - a. (Stiven Hovking)

and no quoting Stephen Hawking on the parameters of the universe.

i parametre univerzuma,

I just went into thinking about this dream, and why and how.

samo sam razmišljala o svom snu,

o pitanjima "zašto" i "kako".

I kako sam rekla, kada sam navršila 60 godina

As I said, when I turned 60,

it wasn't about that concrete "Can you do it?"

nije bilo pitanje "mogu li ja to?"

That's the everyday machinations.

To je ono što sebi svakodnevno postavljamo.

That's the discipline, and it's the preparation,

To je disciplina i to je priprema,

i u tome je ponos.

and there's a pride in that.

But I decided to think, as I went along,

Ali sam odlučila da mislim, dok sam išla,

about -- you know, the phrase usually is, "reaching for the stars."

o frazi koja kaže "dostizanje zvijezda",

And in my case, it's reaching for the horizon.

a u mom slučaju je bilo dostizanje horizonta.

And when you reach for the horizon,

I kada dosegneš horizont,

as I've proven, you may not get there.

i kako sam ja dokazala, ne mora se cilj ispuniti

But what a tremendous build of character and spirit

ali sa pokušajem je veliko izgrađivanje karaktera i duha

that you lay down;

koje čovjek postiže.

what a foundation you lay down in reaching for those horizons.

Kako se jaki temelji potavljaju

pri dostizanju horizonta.

And now, the shore is coming.

I sada obala se približava,

And there's just a little part of me that's sad.

i mali dio mene je tužan.

The epic journey is going to be over.

Epsko putovanje će se završiti.

So many people come up to me now and say,

Mnogo ljudi dođe mi i pita:

"What's next?"

"šta je sljedeće?? Ovo nam se svidjelo!

(Laughter)

"We love that!"

(Laughter)

Program za praćenje na računaru je super?

"That little tracker on the computer?

When are you going to do the next one?

Kada ćeš se ponovo otisnuti? Jedva čekamo sljedeći podvig."

We can't wait to follow the next one."

Oni su tamo bili samo 53 sata,

Well, they were just there for 53 hours,

and I was there for years.

a za mene su to bile godine.

And so there won't be another epic journey in the ocean.

Tako da neće biti više epskih putovanja na okeanu.

But the point is, and the point was,

Poenta je i poenta je bila

that every day of our lives is epic.

da je svaki dan naših života važan, epski

And I'll tell you, when I walked up onto that beach,

I da vam kažem, kada sam kročila na plažu,

staggered up onto that beach ...

teturala po toj plaži,

I had so many times, in a very puffed-up ego way,

i toliko sam puta

sa napumpanim egom,

rehearsed what I would say ...

uvježbavala riječi koje ću reći kada budem na toj plaži.

(Laughter)

on the beach.

Kada je Boni mislila da

When Bonnie thought the back of my throat was swelling up,

mi grlo otiče,

she brought the medical team over to our boat

i dovela je medicinski tim do broda

to say, "She's really beginning to have trouble breathing;

da im kaže da

imam problema sa disanjem.

another 12, 24 hours in the saltwater ..." --

Još 12 ili 24 sata u slanoj vodi,

the whole thing -- I just thought, in my hallucinatory moment,

sve -- i upravo mi se učinilo

da je neko rekao traheotomija.

that I heard the word "tracheotomy."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I Boni je rekla doktoru,

Bonnie said to the doctor, "I'm not worried about her not breathing.

"Ne brinem se ja za njeno disanje.

Ako ona ne bude mogla govoriti kad se nađe na obali,

If she can't talk when she gets to the shore,

bit će ljuta."

she's going to be pissed off."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

But the truth is, all those orations that I had practiced,

Ali istina je da svi ti govori,

koje sam uvježbavala da prođem kroz sve te

just to get myself through some training swims as motivation --

treninge, kao motivaciju,

it wasn't like that.

ali nije bilo tako.

It was a very real moment,

Bio je to pravi trenutak,

with that crowd, with my team.

sa ljudima, sa mojim timom.

We did it. I didn't do it. We did it.

Uspjeli smo. Nisam ja, nego mi.

And we'll never forget it. It'll always be part of us.

Nikada to nećemo zaboraviti. Uvijek će to biti dio nas.

The three things I did sort of blurt out when we got there, was first:

I tri stvari koje sam nekako izbrbljala,

kada smo stigli tamo, prva, "Nikada, ikada ne odustajte."

Never, ever give up.

I live it.

Ja to živim. Koja je poznata Skoratova fraza?

What's the phrase from today from Socrates?

Audience: To be is to do.

Biti znači činiti.

Diana Nyad: To be is to do.

So I don't stand up and say, "Don't ever give up."

Ja ne ustajem tek tako da kažem: "Ne odustaj."

I didn't give up.

Ja nisam odustala, i iza tih riječi stoje djela.

There was action behind these words.

The second is:

Drugo je, "Možete ostvarivati svoje snove

You can chase your dreams at any age; you're never too old.

koliko god godina da imate; nikada niste prestari."

Sixty-four; a thing no one, at any age, any gender, could ever do

Šezdesetčetverogodišnjakinja je uspjela uraditi ono što niko bez obzira na godine i spol,

nije uspio postići,

has done it.

i nemam ni najmanju sumnju

And there's no doubt in my mind

da sam danas u najboljem periodu svog života.

that I am at the prime of my life today.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

Yeah.

Da.

(Applause)

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

I treće što sam rekla na plaži je,

And the third thing I said on that beach was,

it looks like the most solitary endeavor in the world,

"djeluje kao najusamljeniji podvig na svojetu,

and in many ways, of course, it is.

i na mnogo načina on to i jeste,

ali na druge važnije načine,

And in other ways, and the most important ways,

it's a team.

tu je tim, i ako mislite da sam ja jaka,

And if you think I'm a badass, you want to meet Bonnie.

trebate upoznati Boni."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Bonnie, where are you?

Boni, gdje si?

Where are you?

Gdje si?

There's Bonnie Stoll.

Eno je Boni Stol. (Applause)

(Applause)

Moja jaranica.

My buddy.

(Applause)

The Henry David Thoreau quote goes,

Citat Henri Dejvid Torea kaže

"When you achieve your dreams, it's not so much what you get

ono što dobijete kada ostvarite svoj cilj nije toliko važno koliko ono

šta postanete u procesu ostvarivanje tog cilja.

as who you have become in achieving them."

And yeah, I stand before you now.

I da sada stojim pred vama.

In the three months since that swim ended,

U tri mjeseca nakon plivanja,

I've sat down with Oprah,

sjedila sam i razgovarala sa Oprah

and I've been in President Obama's Oval Office;

i bila sam u Ovalnom uredu predsjednika Obame.

I've been invited to speak in front of esteemed groups

Pozvana sam da govorim ispred cijenjenih grupa kakvi ste i vi sami.

such as yourselves;

Potpisala sam sjajan ugovor za knjigu

I've signed a wonderful major book contract.

All of that's great, and I don't denigrate it.

Sve je to sjajno, neću ništa da potcjenjujem

I'm proud of it all, but the truth is,

ponosna sam na to, ali istina je,

hodam sada uzdignute glave jer sam toliko hrabra,

I'm walking around tall

because I am that bold, fearless person, and I will be, every day,

neustrašiva osoba, i bit ću, svaki dan,

until it's time for these days to be done.

dok se moji dani ne završe.

Thank you very much and enjoy the conference.

Hvala vam mnogo i uživajte u konferenciji.

Thank you. Thank you!

Hvala vam. Hvala vam. Hvala vam. (Aplauz)

(Applause)

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Thank you.

Hvala vam. Hvala vam. Hvala vam. Hvala vam.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)

Pronađite svoj put i način! (Aplauz)

Find a way!

(Applause)
