Kare Anderson: Be an opportunity maker

Translator: Stefan Zrnovic Reviewer: Nedžad Neziri

I grew up

Odrasla sam

diagnosed as phobically shy,

sa dijagnozom fobično stidljive,

and, like at least 20 other people

i kao najmanje 20 drugih ljudi

in a room of this size,

u prostoriji ove veličine,

I was a stutterer.

mucala sam.

Do you dare raise your hand?

Da li se usuđujete da podignete ruku?

And it sticks with us. It really does stick with us,

I vezano je za vas. Zaista je vezano za vas,

because when we are treated that way,

jer kada smo tretirani na takav način,

we feel invisible sometimes,

osjećamo se ponekad nevidljivo

or talked around and at.

ili ogovarano.

And as I started to look at people,

Kako sam počela da gledam u ljude,

which is mostly all I did,

što sam najviše i radila,

I noticed that some people

primjetila sam da su neki ljudi

really wanted attention and recognition.

zaista željeli pažnju i prepoznavanje.

Remember, I was young then.

Zapamtite, tada sam bila mlada.

So what did they do?

I što su oni učinili?

What we still do perhaps too often.

Ono što ćemo vjerovatno često raditi.

We talk about ourselves.

Pričamo o sebi.

And yet there are other people I observed

A tu su i drugi ljudi koje sam posmatrala

who had what I called a mutuality mindset.

koji su imali ono što zovem zajedničku mentalnu postavku.

In each situation, they found a way to talk about us

U svakoj situaciji, našli su način da govore o nama

and create that "us" idea.

i stvaraju tu "mi" ideju.

So my idea to reimagine the world

Stoga je moja ideja ponovnog zamišljanja svijeta

is to see it one where we all become

predstavlja njegovo viđenje kao mjesto gde svi mi postajemo

greater opportunity-makers with and for others.

veći stvaraoci prilika sa drugima i za druge.

There's no greater opportunity

Ne postoji veće prilike

or call for action for us now

ili poziva na akciju trenutno za nas

than to become opportunity-makers

nego postati stvaraoci prilika

who use best talents together more often

koji koriste najbolje talente zajedno češće

for the greater good

za veće dobro

and accomplish things we couldn't have done on our own.

i postizanje stvari koje ne bismo sami mogli da uradimo.

And I want to talk to you about that,

I želim da vam pričam o tome

because even more than giving,

jer mnogo prije davanja,

even more than giving,

mnogo prije davanja,

is the capacity for us to do something smarter

postoji naš kapacitet da uradimo nešto mudrije

together for the greater good

zajedno za veće dobro

that lifts us both up

koje nas izdiže

and that can scale.

i moje može da nas smanji.

That's why I'm sitting here.

Zato sjedim ovde.

But I also want to point something else out:

Ali takođe želim da istaknem nešto drugo:

Each one of you

Svako od vas

is better than anybody else at something.

je bolji od bilo koga drugog u nečemu.

That disproves that popular notion

To negira taj popularni pojam

that if you're the smartest person in the room,

da ako ste najpametnija osoba u prostoriji,

you're in the wrong room.

onda ste u pogrešnoj prostoriji.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So let me tell you about

Dozvolite mi da vam ispričam o

a Hollywood party I went to a couple years back,

Holivduskoj zabavi na kojoj sam bila prije nekoliko godina,

and I met this up-and-coming actress,

i upoznala sam ovu buduću glumicu,

and we were soon talking about something

i uskoro smo govorili o nečemu

that we both felt passionately about: public art.

što smo oboje strasno osjećali: javna umjetnost.

And she had the fervent belief

Imala je žestoko vjerovanje

that every new building in Los Angeles

da svaka nova zgrada u Los Anđelesu

should have public art in it.

treba da ima javnu umjetnost u sebi.

She wanted a regulation for it,

Željela je regulaciju za to,

and she fervently started —

i žestoko je započela -

who is here from Chicago? —

ko je odavde iz Čikaga?

she fervently started talking about

žestoko je počela da govori o

these bean-shaped reflective sculptures

ovim reflektujućim skulpturama pasuljastog oblika

in Millennium Park,

u Milenijum Parku,

and people would walk up to it

i ljudi bi došetali do njih

and they'd smile in the reflection of it,

i smijali bi se odrazu u njima

and they'd pose and they'd vamp

pozirali bi i zavodili,

and they'd take selfies together,

pravili bi selfije zajedno,

and they'd laugh.

i smijali bi se.

And as she was talking, a thought came to my mind.

Dok je govorila, jedna misao mi je prošla kroz glavu.

I said, "I know someone you ought to meet.

Rekla sam "Znam nekoga koga treba da upoznaš."

He's getting out of San Quentin in a couple of weeks" —

Izlazi iz San Kventina za nekoliko nedjelja"

(Laughter) —

(Smijeh)

"and he shares your fervent desire

" i dijeli vašu goreću želju

that art should engage and enable people to connect."

da umjetnost treba da angažuje i omogućava ljudima da se povežu."

He spent five years in solitary,

Posvetio je pet godina u samoći,

and I met him because I gave a speech at San Quentin,

i upoznala sam ga jer sam držala govor u San Kventinu

and he's articulate

i artikulisan je

and he's rather easy on the eyes because he's buff.

i fokusiran je na oči jer je mišićav.

He had workout regime he did every day.

Imao je strog režim treninga koji je svaki dan praktikovao.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I think she was following me at that point.

Mislim da me je pratila u tom domenu.

I said, "He'd be an unexpected ally."

Rekla sam

And not just that. There's James. He's an architect

I ne samo to. Tu je Džejms. On je arhitekta

and he's a professor, and he loves place-making,

i profesor, i voli da stvara prostore,

and place-making is when you have

a stvaranje prostora znači da imate

those mini-plazas and those urban walkways

te mini plaže i te male urbane staze

and where they're dotted with art,

koje su dekorisane umjetnošću,

where people draw and come up and talk sometimes.

gdje ljudi crtaju, pojavljuju se i ponekad razgovaraju.

I think they'd make good allies.

Mislim da prave dobra društva.

And indeed they were.

Zapravo i jesu bili.

They met together. They prepared.

Sreli su se. Spremili su se.

They spoke in front of the Los Angeles City Council.

Pričali su ispred gradskog vijeća Los Anđelesa.

And the council members not only passed the regulation,

Članovi vijeća nisu samo prošli regulaciju,

half of them came down and asked to pose with them afterwards.

već je polovina sišla dole i tražila da se slika sa njima kasnije.

They were startling, compelling and credible.

Uzdahivali su, nesavladivo i pouzdano.

You can't buy that.

To ne možete kupiti.

What I'm asking you to consider

Ono što vam tražim je da razmislite

is what kind of opportunity- makers we might become,

koju vrstu stvaraoca prilike bismo mogli da postanemo,

because more than wealth

jer više od bogatstva

or fancy titles

ili fensi titula

or a lot of contacts, it's our capacity to connect

ili gomile kontakata, naš kapacitet je da se povežemo

around each other's better side and bring it out.

oko zajedničkih dobrih strana i da ih istaknemo.

And I'm not saying this is easy,

Ne kažem da je ovo lahko,

and I'm sure many of you have made the wrong moves too

ali sam sigurna da su mnogi od vas napravili pogrešne korake također

about who you wanted to connect with,

vezano za to sa kime se želite povezati

but what I want to suggest is,

ali ono što želim da predložim je

this is an opportunity.

da je ovo prilika.

I started thinking about it

Počela sam misliti o tome

way back when I was a Wall Street Journal reporter

kada sam bila novinar Vol Strit žurnala

and I was in Europe and I was supposed to cover trends

i bila sam u Evropi i trebalo je da pokrivam trendove

and trends that transcended business

i trendove koji su prenosili posao

or politics or lifestyle.

politiku ili životni stil.

So I had to have contacts

Morala sam da imam kontakte

in different worlds very different than mine,

u različitim svjetovima, veoma različitim od svog,

because otherwise you couldn't spot the trends.

jer drugačije ne biste mogli da prepoznate trendove.

And third, I had to write the story

i treće, morala sam da pišem priču

in a way stepping into the reader's shoes,

tako što sam uskakala u cipele čitaoca,

so they could see how these trends could affect their lives.

kako bi mogli da vide kako bi ovi trendovi mogli da utiču na njihove živote.

That's what opportunity-makers do.

To je ono što stvaraoci prilika rade.

And here's a strange thing:

A evo je čudna stvar:

Unlike an increasing number of Americans

Za razliku od rastućeg broja Amerikanaca

who are working and living and playing with people

koji rade, žive i igraju se sa ljudima

who think exactly like them

koji misle jednako kao i oni

because we then become more rigid and extreme,

jer tada postajemo rigidniji i ekstremniji,

opportunity-makers are actively seeking situations

stvaraoci prilika aktivno traže riješenja

with people unlike them,

sa ljudima različitim od njih,

and they're building relationships,

i grade veze,

and because they do that,

jer zato što to rade,

they have trusted relationships

imaju provjerene veze

where they can bring the right team in

gde mogu da uvedu pravi tim

and recruit them to solve a problem better and faster

i regrutuju ga da riješi problem bolje i brže

and seize more opportunities.

i uhvati više prilika.

They're not affronted by differences,

Nisu osramoćeni razlikama,

they're fascinated by them,

fascinirani su njima,

and that is a huge shift in mindset,

i to je ogroman napredak u postavci uma

and once you feel it, you want it to happen a lot more.

i kad ga jednom osjetiti, želite da se dešava mnogo češće.

This world is calling out for us to have a collective mindset,

Ovaj svijet nas poziva da imamo sveobuhvatni način razmišljanja,

and I believe in doing that.

i vjerujem i vjerujem u rad na tome.

It's especially important now.

Posebno je važno sada.

Why is it important now?

Zašto je važno?

Because things can be devised like drones

Jer stvari mogu da se izume poput dronova

and drugs and data collection,

lijekova i prikupljanja podataka,

and they can be devised by more people

i može da ih izume više ljudi

and cheaper ways for beneficial purposes

i jeftiniji načini u profitabilne svrhe

and then, as we know from the news every day,

a potom, kao što znamo iz dnevnih vijesti,

they can be used for dangerous ones.

mogu da se koriste u opasne svrhe.

It calls on us, each of us,

Poziva nas, svakog od nas,

to a higher calling.

na viši poziv.

But here's the icing on the cake:

Ali evo višnje na torti:

It's not just the first opportunity

nije samo prva prilika

that you do with somebody else

da radite sa nekim drugim

that's probably your greatest,

koji je vjerovatno vaš nadređeni,

as an institution or an individual.

kao institucija ili osoba.

It's after you've had that experience

Nakon što ste imali to iskustvo

and you trust each other.

vi vjerujete jedni drugima.

It's the unexpected things

To su neočekivane stvari

that you devise later on

koje stvarate kasnije

you never could have predicted.

i koje nikada ne biste predvidjeli.

For example, Marty is the husband of that actress I mentioned,

Na primjer, Marti je muž glumice koju sam pomenula

and he watched them when they were practicing,

i posmatrao ih je kada su vježbali,

and he was soon talking to Wally,

i skoro je razgovarao sa Vali,

my friend the ex-con,

mojim prijateljem i bivšim zatvorenikom,

about that exercise regime.

o režimu treniranja.

And he thought,

I razmišljao je,

I have a set of racquetball courts.

imam grupu terena za reketbol.

That guy could teach it.

Taj momak bi mogao da podučava taj sport.

A lot of people who work there are members at my courts.

Dosta ljudi koji rade tamo su članovi mojih terena.

They're frequent travelers.

Oni su česti putnici.

They could practice in their hotel room,

Mogli bi da vježbaju u svojoj hotelskoj sobi,

no equipment provided.

bez obezbjeđene opreme.

That's how Wally got hired.

Tako se Vali zaposlio.

Not only that, years later

Ne samo to, godinama kasnije

he was also teaching racquetball.

podučavao je je reketbol.

Years after that,

Godinama nakon toga,

he was teaching the racquetball teachers.

podučavao je trenere reketbola.

What I'm suggesting is, when you connect with people

Ono što vam predlažem je da kad se povežete sa ljudima

around a shared interest and action,

oko zajedničkog interesa i akcije,

you're accustomed to serendipitous

naviknuti ste na sretne

things happening into the future,

stvari koje se dešavaju u budućnosti,

and I think that's what we're looking at.

i mislim da je to što tražimo.

We open ourselves up to those opportunities,

Otvaramo se prema prilikama,

and in this room are key players in technology,

i ovoj prostoriji su ključni igrači tehnologija,

key players who are uniquely positioned to do this,

ključni igrači koji su jedinstveno pozicionirani da to urade,

to scale systems and projects together.

da sjedine sisteme i projekte.

So here's what I'm calling for you to do.

Evo što vas pozivam da uradite.

Remember the three traits of opportunity-makers.

Zapamtite tri odlike stvaraoca prilika.

Opportunity-makers keep honing their top strength

Stvaraoci prilika bruše svoju snagu

and they become pattern seekers.

i postaju tražioci obrazaca.

They get involved in different worlds than their worlds

Uključuju se u različite oblasti od svojih

so they're trusted and they can see those patterns,

tako da mogu biti od povjerenja i mogu vidjeti te obrasce,

and they communicate to connect

i komuniciraju da bi povezali

around sweet spots of shared interest.

slatke tačke i zajednički interes.

So what I'm asking you is,

Stoga vam kažem

the world is hungry.

da je svijet gladan.

I truly believe, in my firsthand experience,

Istinski vjerujem, iz svog prvog iskustva

the world is hungry for us

da je svijet željan da

to unite together as opportunity-makers

nas ujedini kao stvaraoce prilika

and to emulate those behaviors

i da imitiramo ta ponašanja

as so many of you already do —

što mnogi od vas rade

I know that firsthand —

znam iz prve ruke.

and to reimagine a world

I da ponovo zamislimo svijet

where we use our best talents together

gde koristimo naše najbolje talente zajedno

more often to accomplish greater things together

češće kako bismo postigli bolje stvari zajedno

than we could on our own.

nego što bismo mogli samostalno.

Just remember,

Samo se sjetite,

as Dave Liniger once said,

kao što je Dejv Linidžer jednom rekao

"You can't succeed

"Ne možete uspjeti ako dođete

coming to the potluck with only a fork."

ako dođete na zajednički organizovan ručak sa samo jednom viljuškom".

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Thank you very much.

Hvala vam mnogo.

Thank you. (Applause)

Hvala vam. (Aplauz)
