M'agradaria que us imaginéssiu com és.
00:23
It's not too big --
2
23260
2000
No massa gran...
00:25
about the size of a golf ball.
3
25260
2000
de la mida d'una pilota de golf.
00:27
So envision what it looks like all wrapped up.

00:30
But before I show you what's inside,

El preu?

118260
3000
I aquesta és una oferta increïble.
02:01
By now I know you're dying to know
40
121260
2000
A hores d'ara us deveu morir per saber
02:03
what it is and where you can get one.
41
123260
3000
què hi ha dins i on trobar-ho.
02:06
Does Amazon carry it?
42
126260
2000
Es pot aconseguir per Amazon?
02:08
Does it have the Apple logo on it?
43
128260
2000
Porta el logo d'Apple?
02:10
Is there a waiting list?
44
130260
3000
Hi ha llista d'espera?
02:13
Not likely.
45
133260
2000
Segurament no.
02:15
This gift came to me about five months ago.
46
135260
3000
A mi em va arribar fa cinc mesos.
02:18
It looked more like this when it was all wrapped up --
47
138260
2000
Es veia més aviat així embolicat...
02:20
not quite so pretty.
48
140260
2000
no massa bonic.
02:23
And this,
49
143260
2000
I així,
02:26
and then this.
50
146260
3000
i més tard així.
02:29
It was a rare gem --
51
149260
2000
Era una cosa especial...
02:31
a brain tumor,
52
151260
2000
un tumor cerebral,
02:33
hemangioblastoma --
53
153260
3000
hemangioblastoma,
02:36
the gift that keeps on giving.
54
156260
3000
el regal que encara em dona coses.
02:39
And while I'm okay now,
55
159260
2000
I tot i que ara estic bé,
02:41
I wouldn't wish this gift for you.
56
161260
2000
no us desitjo aquest regal.
02:43
I'm not sure you'd want it.
57
163260
2000
No crec que el volguéssiu.
02:45
But I wouldn't change my experience.
58
165260
3000
Però no canviaria la meva experiència.
02:48
It profoundly altered my life
59
168260
3000
Va alterar completament la meva vida
de maneres que no esperava,
02:51
in ways I didn't expect
60
171260
2000
de totes les maneres que he compartit amb vosaltres.
02:53
in all the ways I just shared with you.
61
173260
2000
02:55
So the next time you're faced
62
175260
2000
Així que la pròxima vegada que us enfronteu
02:57
with something that's unexpected,
63
177260
3000
amb una cosa inesperada
03:00
unwanted and uncertain,
64
180260
3000
no desitjada i incerta,
03:03
consider
65
183260
2000
penseu
03:05
that it just may be a gift.
66
185260
3000
que pot ser un regal.
03:08
(Applause)
67
188260
