Kare Anderson: Be an opportunity maker

Prevoditelj: Anja Kolobarić Recezent: Ivan Stamenković

I grew up

Odrasla sam

diagnosed as phobically shy,

s dijagnozom sramežljivosti do razine fobije

and, like at least 20 other people

i kao barem 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?

Usudite li se podići ruku?

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

I to ostaje s nama. Uistinu ostaje

because when we are treated that way,

jer kad nas se tako tretira,

we feel invisible sometimes,

ponekad se osjećamo nevidljivo

or talked around and at.

ili mislimo da se o nama priča.

And as I started to look at people,

Tako sam počela promatrati ljude.

which is mostly all I did,

a to je zapravo jedino što sam radila,

I noticed that some people

primijetila sam da neki ljudi

really wanted attention and recognition.

uistinu žele pažnju i priznanje.

Remember, I was young then.

Sjetite se da sam tada bila mlada.

So what did they do?

I što su oni radili?

What we still do perhaps too often.

I što mi još uvijek prečesto radimo?

We talk about ourselves.

Pričamo o sebi.

And yet there are other people I observed

A promatrala sam i ljude koji su imali

who had what I called a mutuality mindset.

ono što sam nazivala "uzajaman način razmišljanja."

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

U svakoj situaciji oni su nalazili načine da pričaju o "nama"

and create that "us" idea.

i stvore ideju "nas".

So my idea to reimagine the world

Moja ideja da reinterpretiram svijet

is to see it one where we all become

predstavlja ideju svijeta u kojemu smo svi mi

greater opportunity-makers with and for others.

tvorci prilika s drugima i za druge.

There's no greater opportunity

Nema veće prilike

or call for action for us now

ili poziva na djelovanje za nas

than to become opportunity-makers

nego da postanemo tvorci prilika

who use best talents together more often

koji koriste svoje najveće talente češće

for the greater good

za veće dobro

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

i postižu stvari koje mi sami ne bismo bili u stanju.

And I want to talk to you about that,

Želim s vama razgovarati o tome

because even more than giving,

jer veća od davanja,

even more than giving,

veća od davanja

is the capacity for us to do something smarter

naša je sposobnost da napravimo nešto pametnije,

together for the greater good

zajedno, za veće dobro

that lifts us both up

koje će nas i podići

and that can scale.

a može rasti.

That's why I'm sitting here.

Zato sam ovdje.

But I also want to point something else out:

Ali želim vam i ukazati na nešto:

Each one of you

Svatko od vas

is better than anybody else at something.

bolji je od bilo koga u nečemu.

That disproves that popular notion

To opovrgava popularno mišljenje

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

Ispričat ću vam priču o holivudskom tulumu

a Hollywood party I went to a couple years back,

na kojemu sam bila prije dvije godine.

and I met this up-and-coming actress,

Ondje sam upoznala glumicu u usponu

and we were soon talking about something

i ubrzo smo počele razgovarati o našoj

that we both felt passionately about: public art.

zajedničkoj strasti: javnoj umjetnosti.

And she had the fervent belief

Ona je snažno vjerovala

that every new building in Los Angeles

da bi svaka nova zgrada u Los Angelesu

should have public art in it.

trebala imati javnu umjetnost.

She wanted a regulation for it,

Htjela je to zakonski regulirati

and she fervently started —

i strastveno je počela —

who is here from Chicago? —

koliko vas je iz Chicaga? —

she fervently started talking about

strastveno je počela pričati o

these bean-shaped reflective sculptures

reflektirajućim skulpturama u obliku graha

in Millennium Park,

u Millennium Parku

and people would walk up to it

kojima bi ljudi prilazili

and they'd smile in the reflection of it,

i smijali se svom odrazu

and they'd pose and they'd vamp

i pozirali bi i

and they'd take selfies together,

slikali selfije zajedno

and they'd laugh.

i smijali bi se.

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

I dok je ona to pričala, meni je nešto palo na pamet.

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

Rekla sam: "Znam nekoga koga trebaš upoznati.

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

Izlazi iz San Quentina za nekoliko tjedana." —

(Laughter) —

(Smijeh) —

"and he shares your fervent desire

"i on dijeli tvoju strast za umjetnosti

that art should engage and enable people to connect."

koja bi trebala animirati i povezivati ljude."

He spent five years in solitary,

Proveo je pet godina u samici i

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

upoznala sam ga kad sam držala govor u San Quentinu.

and he's articulate

Dobar je govornik

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

i oku ugodan jer je mišićav.

He had workout regime he did every day.

Imao je program vježbanja koji je radio svakodnevno.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I think she was following me at that point.

Mislim da se tad zainteresirala.

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

Rekoh, "Bio bi ti neočekivan saveznik."

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

I ne samo to. Tu je i James, arhitekt i

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

profesor, ljubitelj građenja, a

and place-making is when you have

građenje je kad imate one

those mini-plazas and those urban walkways

minijaturne trgove i urbane staze za šetanje

and where they're dotted with art,

i ondje gdje su oslikane,

where people draw and come up and talk sometimes.

gdje ljudi crtaju i dolaze i nekada i razgovaraju.

I think they'd make good allies.

Mislim da bi bili dobri suradnici.

And indeed they were.

I doista su bili.

They met together. They prepared.

Sastali su se. Pripremali su se.

They spoke in front of the Los Angeles City Council.

Držali su govore pred Gradskim koncilom LA-a.

And the council members not only passed the regulation,

I članovi koncila ne samo da su odobrili regulaciju

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

već je i polovica njih došla i kasnije se htjela slikati s njima.

They were startling, compelling and credible.

Bili su sjajni, neodoljivi i uvjerljivi.

You can't buy that.

To se ne može kupiti.

What I'm asking you to consider

Želim da vi razmislite o tome

is what kind of opportunity- makers we might become,

kakvi tvorci prilika mi možemo postati,

because more than wealth

jer više od bogatstva,

or fancy titles

lijepih titula

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

ili gomile poznanstava, naša sposobnost da se povežemo oko

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

tuđih boljih osobina koje ćemo izvesti na vidjelo.

And I'm not saying this is easy,

Ne kažem da je to jednostavno i

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

sigurna sam da su mnogi od vas napravili neke pogrešne poteze

about who you wanted to connect with,

po pitanju toga s kim ste se željeli povezati,

but what I want to suggest is,

ali ono što ja tvrdim jest

this is an opportunity.

da je ovo prilika.

I started thinking about it

Počela sam razmišljati o tome još dok

way back when I was a Wall Street Journal reporter

sam bila novinarka na Wall Streetu i bila sam

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

u Europi i trebala sam izvještavati o trendovima i

and trends that transcended business

trendovima koji su bili izvan granica biznisa,

or politics or lifestyle.

politike ili životnog stila.

So I had to have contacts

Stoga sam morala imati kontakte

in different worlds very different than mine,

u svjetovima drugačijim od moga jer

because otherwise you couldn't spot the trends.

drugačije ne bih mogla uočiti trendove.

And third, I had to write the story

I kao treće, trebala sam napisati priču,

in a way stepping into the reader's shoes,

nekako se staviti u čitateljevu kožu,

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

tako da bi oni mogli vidjeti kako ti trendovi utječu na njihove živote.

That's what opportunity-makers do.

To rade tvorci prilika.

And here's a strange thing:

I ovo je ono što je u tome čudno:

Unlike an increasing number of Americans

Za razliku od sve većeg broja Amerikanaca

who are working and living and playing with people

koji rade i žive i igraju se s ljudima

who think exactly like them

koji razmišljaju nalik njima samima,

because we then become more rigid and extreme,

jer tada postajemo rigidniji i ekstremniji,

opportunity-makers are actively seeking situations

tvorci prilika aktivno traže situacije

with people unlike them,

s ljudima drugačijima od njih samih

and they're building relationships,

i stvaraju odnose

and because they do that,

i upravo zbog toga

they have trusted relationships

imaju odnose temeljene na povjerenju

where they can bring the right team in

u kojima mogu složiti pravi tim

and recruit them to solve a problem better and faster

i unajmiti ih da riješe problem brže i bolje i

and seize more opportunities.

kako bi ugrabili više prilika.

They're not affronted by differences,

Njih ne sprječavaju razlike,

they're fascinated by them,

već ih one fasciniraju,

and that is a huge shift in mindset,

a to je ogroman pomak u stanju uma

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

i jednom kada to osjetite, htjet će te ga sve više i više.

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

Svijet vas poziva na kolektivno stanje uma,

and I believe in doing that.

a ja u to vjerujem.

It's especially important now.

To je posebno važno u ovom trenutku.

Why is it important now?

Zašto baš sad?

Because things can be devised like drones

Jer se mogu razvijati stvari poput dronova

and drugs and data collection,

i lijekova i prikupljanja podataka,

and they can be devised by more people

a više ih ljudi može razvijati jeftinije

and cheaper ways for beneficial purposes

u plemenite svrhe i

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

tada, kao što znamo iz svakodnevnih vijesti,

they can be used for dangerous ones.

mogu se koristiti i u neplemenite svrhe.

It calls on us, each of us,

Zove nas, svakoga od nas,

to a higher calling.

na viši poziv.

But here's the icing on the cake:

Ali evo šlag na torti:

It's not just the first opportunity

ovo nije samo prva prilika

that you do with somebody else

koju ćete ugrabiti s nekim drugim

that's probably your greatest,

u nečemu u čemu ste vjerojatno najbolji,

as an institution or an individual.

kao institucija ili pojedinac.

It's after you've had that experience

Poslije tog iskustva

and you trust each other.

vjerujete jedno drugome.

It's the unexpected things

To su neočekivane stvari

that you devise later on

koje stvarate kasnije, a

you never could have predicted.

o kojima nikad niste mogli ni sanjati.

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

Npr., Marty, suprug one glumice o kojoj sam govorila,

and he watched them when they were practicing,

promatrao ih je dok su vježbali

and he was soon talking to Wally,

i ubrzo je počeo razgovarati s Wallyjem,

my friend the ex-con,

mojim prijateljem bivšim zarobljenikom,

about that exercise regime.

o vježbanju.

And he thought,

I pomislio je kako

I have a set of racquetball courts.

ima set racquetball terena na kojima bi

That guy could teach it.

taj tip mogao podučavati.

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

Mnogi ljudi koji ondje rade su članovi na mojim terenima.

They're frequent travelers.

Često putuju.

They could practice in their hotel room,

Mogli bi vježbati u hotelskim sobama,

no equipment provided.

bez opreme.

That's how Wally got hired.

Tako se Wally zaposlio.

Not only that, years later

I to nije sve. Nekoliko godina kasnije

he was also teaching racquetball.

i on je podučavao o racquetballu.

Years after that,

Nekoliko godina poslije toga,

he was teaching the racquetball teachers.

podučavao je učitelje racquetballa.

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

Pokušavam reći da kad se povežemo s ljudima oko

around a shared interest and action,

zajedničkog interesa i djelovanja,

you're accustomed to serendipitous

naviknut ćete se na brojne

things happening into the future,

stvari koje će se tek dogoditi,

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

a mislim da se tome približavamo.

We open ourselves up to those opportunities,

Otvorimo se tim prilikama,

and in this room are key players in technology,

a u ovoj su prostoriji ključni sudionici i tehnologija,

key players who are uniquely positioned to do this,

ključni sudionici jedinstveno pozicionirani

to scale systems and projects together.

da zajednički skaliraju sisteme i projekte.

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

Ja vas zapravo pozivam na ovo.

Remember the three traits of opportunity-makers.

Zapamtite tri osobine tvoraca prilika.

Opportunity-makers keep honing their top strength

Tvorci prilika uporno usavršavaju svoje najjače oružje

and they become pattern seekers.

i tragaju za uzorcima.

They get involved in different worlds than their worlds

Uključuju se svjetove koji su drugačiji od njihovih

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

kako bi zaradili povjerenje i kako bi vidjeli te uzorke

and they communicate to connect

i komuniciraju kako bi se povezali

around sweet spots of shared interest.

oko zajedničkih interesa.

So what I'm asking you is,

Ja od vas ovo tražim,

the world is hungry.

svijet je gladan.

I truly believe, in my firsthand experience,

Ja uistinu vjerujem, zahvaljujući iskustvu iz prve ruke,

the world is hungry for us

svijet od nas želi

to unite together as opportunity-makers

da se ujedinimo kao tvorci prilika

and to emulate those behaviors

i da oponašamo takvo ponašanje

as so many of you already do —

kao što mnogi od vas već čine —

I know that firsthand —

znam to iz prve ruke —

and to reimagine a world

a kako bismo reinterpretirali svijet

where we use our best talents together

u kojem svoje najveće talente koristimo zajednički

more often to accomplish greater things together

i češće za veća postignuća

than we could on our own.

od onih koje bismo ostvarili kada bismo bili prepušteni sami sebi.

Just remember,

Samo zapamtite,

as Dave Liniger once said,

kao što je Dave Liniger jednom rekao,

"You can't succeed

"Ne možeš uspjeti

coming to the potluck with only a fork."

ako na objed dolaziš samo s vilicom."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Thank you very much.

Puno vam hvala.

Thank you. (Applause)

Hvala vam. (Pljesak)
