Half a million secrets | Frank Warren

Prevoditelj: Senzos Osijek Recezent: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

Hi, my name is Frank,

Zdravo, moje ime je Frank

and I collect secrets.

i skupljam tajne.

It all started with a crazy idea

Sve je počelo kao luda ideja

in November of 2004.

u studenom 2004.

I printed up 3,000 self-addressed postcards,

Isprintao sam 3.000 razglednica s vlastitom adresom,

just like this.

poput ove.

They were blank on one side,

Bile su prazne na jednoj strani,

and on the other side

a na drugoj sam strani

I listed some simple instructions.

naveo neke jednostavne upute.

I asked people to anonymously share an artful secret

Zamolio sam ljude da anonimno podijele skrivenu tajnu

they'd never told anyone before.

koju još nikome do sada nisu rekli.

And I handed out these postcards randomly

Dijelio sam ove razglednice nasumično

on the streets of Washington, D.C.,

na ulicama Washingtona,

not knowing what to expect.

ne znajući što mogu očekivati.

But soon the idea began spreading virally.

No, ubrzo se ideja počela brzinski širiti.

People began to buy their own postcards

Ljudi su počeli kupovati razglednice

and make their own postcards.

i sami ih izrađivati.

I started receiving secrets in my home mailbox,

Počeo sam dobivati tajne u poštanski sandučić,

not just with postmarks from Washington, D.C.,

ne samo s markicama iz Washingtona

but from Texas, California,

već i iz Teksasa, Kalifornije,

Vancouver, New Zealand, Iraq.

Vancouvera, Novog Zelanda, Iraka.

Soon my crazy idea didn't seem so crazy.

Ubzo se moja luda ideja nije činila tako ludom.

PostSecret.com

PostSecret.com

is the most visited advertisement-free blog in the world.

najposjećeniji je blog na svijetu koji ne sadrži reklame,

And this is my postcard collection today.

a ovo je moja kolekcija razglednica danas.

You can see my wife

Možete vidjeti kako se moja žena

struggling to stack a brick of postcards

muči ne bi li složila blok razglednica

on a pyramid of over a half-million secrets.

navrh piramide s više od pola milijuna tajni.

What I'd like to do now

Ono što bih sada volio učiniti

is share with you a very special handful of secrets

je podijeliti s vama veoma poseban pregršt tajni

from that collection,

iz te kolekcije,

starting with this one.

počevši s ovom.

"I found these stamps as a child,

„Pronašao sam ove markice kao dijete

and I have been waiting all my life

i čekao sam cijeli svoj život

to have someone to send them to.

da ih nekome pošaljem.

I never did have someone."

Nikada ih nisam imao kome poslati.“

Secrets can take many forms.

Tajne mogu poprimiti razne oblike.

They can be shocking

Mogu biti šokantne,

or silly or soulful.

lude ili dubokih emocija.

They can connect us to our deepest humanity

Mogu nas povezati s našom najdubljom ljudskošću

or with people we'll never meet.

ili s ljudima koje nikad nećemo sresti.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Maybe one of you sent this one in.

Možda je netko od vas poslao ovu.

I don't know.

Ne znam.

This one does a great job of demonstrating

Ova nam daje odličan prikaz

the creativity that people have

kreativnosti koju ljudi posjeduju

when they make and mail me a postcard.

kada mi izrađuju i šalju razglednice.

This one obviously was made out of half a Starbucks cup

Ova je očito napravljena od polovice Starbucksove šalice

with a stamp and my home address written on the other side.

s markicom i mojom adresom napisanom na drugoj strani.

"Dear Birthmother, I have great parents.

„Draga biološka majko, imam odlične roditelje.

I've found love. I'm happy."

Pronašla sam ljubav. Sretna sam.“

Secrets can remind us of the countless human dramas,

Tajne nas mogu podsjetiti na nebrojene ljudske drame,

of frailty and heroism,

na slabost i junaštvo

playing out silently

koje postoji neznatno

in the lives of people all around us

u životima ljudi svuda oko nas

even now.

čak i sada.

"Everyone who knew me before 9/11

„Svi koji su me poznavali prije 11. rujna 2001.

believes I'm dead."

sada misle da sam mrtav.“

"I used to work with a bunch of uptight religious people,

„Radila sam s hrpom napetih religioznih ljudi

so sometimes I didn't wear panties,

pa ponekad nisam nosila gaćice

and just had a big smile and chuckled to myself."

i jednostavno sam imala veliki osmijeh i cerekala sam se samoj sebi.“

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

This next one takes a little explanation before I share it with you.

Sljedeća zahtijeva malo objašnjenje prije no što je podijelim s vama.

I love to speak on college campuses

Volim držati govore na kampusima fakulteta

and share secrets and the stories with students.

i dijeliti tajne i priče sa studentima,

And sometimes afterwards I'll stick around

a ponekad se nakon toga zadržim,

and sign books and take photos with students.

potpisujem knjige i slikam se sa studentima.

And this next postcard was made

Sljedeća razglednica napravljena je

out of one of those photos.

od jedne od tih fotografija.

And I should also mention that, just like today,

Također bih morao spomenuti da sam, kao i danas,

at that PostSecret event,

na tom PostSecret događaju

I was using a wireless microphone.

koristio bežični mikrofon.

"Your mic wasn't off during sound check.

„Tvoj mikrofon nije bio isključen tijekom tonske probe.

We all heard you pee."

Svi smo čuli kako piškiš.“

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

This was really embarrassing when it happened,

Ovo je bilo prilično neugodno kad se dogodilo,

until I realized it could have been worse.

dok nisam shvatio da je moglo biti i gore.

Right. You know what I'm saying.

Da. Znate o čemu pričam.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

"Inside this envelope

„Unutar su ove omotnice

is the ripped up remains

poderani ostaci

of a suicide note I didn't use.

oproštajnog pisma prije samoubojstva koje nisam učinio.

I feel like the happiest person on Earth (now.)"

Osjećam se kao najsretnija osoba na Zemlji (trenutno).“

"One of these men is the father of my son.

„Jedan od ovih ljudi je otac mog sina.

He pays me a lot to keep it a secret."

Mnogo mi plaća da to držim u tajnosti.“

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

"That Saturday when you wondered where I was,

„Te subote kada si se pitala gdje sam,

well, I was getting your ring.

pa eto, išao sam ti po prsten.

It's in my pocket right now."

Sada je u mom džepu.“

I had this postcard posted on the PostSecret blog

Objavio sam ovu razglednicu na PostSecret blogu

two years ago on Valentine's Day.

prije dvije godine na Valentinovo.

It was the very bottom, the last secret in the long column.

Bila je na samom kraju, posljednja tajna u dugom stupcu.

And it hadn't been up for more than a couple hours

I nije bila gore više od nekoliko sati

before I received this exuberant email

kad sam primio ovaj opsežan mail

from the guy who mailed me this postcard.

od čovjeka koji mi je poslao ovu razglednicu.

And he said, "Frank, I've got to share with you

A on je rekao, „Frank, moram s tobom podijeliti

this story that just played out in my life."

ovu priču koja se upravo dogodila u mom životu.“

He said, "My knees are still shaking."

Rekao je, „Koljena mi se još uvijek tresu.“

He said, "For three years, my girlfriend and I,

Rekao je, „Već tri godine moja djevojka i ja

we've made it this Sunday morning ritual

imamo ritual da svake nedjelje ujutro

to visit the PostSecret blog together

posjetimo PostSecret blog zajedno

and read the secrets out loud.

i čitamo tajne naglas.

I read some to her, she reads some to me."

Ja njoj čitam neke, ona meni čita neke.“

He says, "It's really brought us closer together

Kaže, „To nas je zaista zbližilo

through the years.

tijekom godina.“

And so when I discovered

Kad sam otkrio

that you had posted

da si objavio

my surprise proposal to my girlfriend at the very bottom,

moju iznenadnu prosidbu djevojci na samom dnu,

I was beside myself.

bio sam van sebe.

And I tried to act calm, not to give anything away.

Pokušao sam se ponašati normalno, kako se ne bih odao,

And just like every Sunday,

no baš kao i svake nedjelje,

we started reading the secrets out loud to each other."

počeli smo čitati tajne naglas jedno drugome.“

He said, "But this time it seemed like it was taking her forever

Kaže, „No, ovog se puta činilo kao da joj cijela vječnost treba

to get through each one."

da prođe kroz svaku tajnu.“

But she finally did.

No konačno je stigla.

She got to that bottom secret, his proposal to her.

Došla je do tajne na dnu, njegove prosidbe.

And he said, "She read it once and then she read it again."

Kaže on, „Pročitala ju je jednom, a onda ju je pročitala još jednom.“

And she turned to him and said,

Okrenula se prema njemu i rekla,

"Is that our cat?"

„Je li to naša mačka?“

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And when she saw him,

A kad ga je ugledala,

he was down on one knee, he had the ring out.

klečao je i izvadio prsten.

He popped the question, she said yes. It was a very happy ending.

Izrekao je pitanje, a ona je pristala. Bio je to veoma sretan završetak.

So I emailed him back

Odgovorio sam mu na mail

and I said, "Please share with me an image, something,

i rekao, „Molim te, podijeli sa mnom sliku ili nešto

that I can share with the whole PostSecret community

što mogu podijeliti s cijelom PostSecret zajednicom

and let everyone know your fairy tale ending."

i dati svima do znanja kako je završila vaša bajka.“

And he emailed me this picture.

Poslao mi je ovu sliku.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

"I found your camera at Lollapalooza this summer.

„Pronašla sam tvoj fotoaparat na Lollapaloozi ovo ljeto.

I finally got the pictures developed

Konačno sam razvila slike

and I'd love to give them to you."

i voljela bih ti ih dati.“

This picture never got returned back

Ova se slika nikad nije vratila

to the people who lost it,

ljudima koji su ju izgubili,

but this secret has impacted many lives,

no ova je tajna utjecala na mnoge živote,

starting with a student up in Canada

počevši sa studentom u Kanadi

named Matty.

po imenu Matty.

Matty was inspired by that secret

Matty je bio nadahnut tom tajnom

to start his own website,

te je napravio vlastitu internet stranicu

a website called IFoundYourCamera.

pod imenom IFoundYourCamera (*PronašaoSamTvojFotoaparat).

Matty invites people

Matty poziva ljude

to mail him digital cameras that they've found,

da mu pošalju digitalne fotoaparate koje pronađu,

memory sticks that have been lost

memory stickove koji su izgubljeni

with orphan photos.

sa sirotim slikama.

And Matty takes the pictures off these cameras

Matty skida slike s tih fotoaparata

and posts them on his website every week.

i objavljuje ih svaki tjedan na svojoj stranici,

And people come to visit

a ljudi dolaze vidjeti

to see if they can identify a picture they've lost

mogu li naći sliku koju su izgubili

or help somebody else get the photos back to them

ili pomoći nekome drugome da dobije natrag slike

that they might be desperately searching for.

koje možda očajnički traži.

This one's my favorite.

Ovo mi je najdraža.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Matty has found this ingenious way

Matty je pronašao ovaj genijalan način

to leverage the kindness of strangers.

da utječe na ljubaznost stranaca

And it might seem like a simple idea, and it is,

no, to se može činiti kao jednostavna ideja, što i je,

but the impact it can have on people's lives can be huge.

ali utjecaj koji može imati na ljudske živote može biti ogroman.

Matty shared with me

Matty je sa mnom podijelio

an emotional email he received

emotivni mail koji je primio

from the mother in that picture.

od majke na toj slici.

"That's me, my husband and son.

„Ovo smo ja, moj muž i sin.

The other pictures are of my very ill grandmother.

Ostale slike su slike moje veoma bolesne bake.

Thank you for making your site.

Hvala što si napravio ovu stranicu.

These pictures mean more to me than you know.

Ove mi slike znače više no što možeš zamisliti.

My son's birth is on this camera.

Rođenje mog sina na ovom je fotoaparatu.

He turns four tomorrow."

Sutra će napuniti četiri godine.“

Every picture that you see there

Svaka slika koju tamo vidite

and thousands of others

i tisuće ostalih

have been returned back to the person who lost it --

bile su vraćene natrag osobi koja ih je izgubila --

sometimes crossing oceans,

ponekad preko oceana,

sometimes going through language barriers.

ponekad prelazeći jezične granice.

This is the last postcard I have to share with you today.

Ovo je posljednja razglednica koju moram podijeliti s vama.

"When people I love

„Kada ljudi koje volim

leave voicemails on my phone

ostavljaju glasovne poruke na mom telefonu,

I always save them in case they die tomorrow

uvijek ih sačuvam u slučaju da sutra umru

and I have no other way

i nemam drugi način

of hearing their voice ever again."

na koji bih više ikada ponovno mogao čuti njihov glas.“

When I posted this secret,

Kada sam objavio ovu tajnu,

dozens of people

deseci ljudi

sent voicemail messages from their phones,

poslali su glasovne poruke sa svojih telefona,

sometimes ones they'd been keeping for years,

ponekad neke koje su čuvali godinama,

messages from family or friends

poruke od obitelji ili prijatelja

who had died.

koji su umrli.

They said that by preserving those voices

Kažu da im čuvanje tih glasova

and sharing them,

i dijeljenje istih

it helped them keep the spirit of their loved ones alive.

pomaže u očuvanju duha njihovih voljenih živim.

One young girl

Jedna je mlada djevojka

posted the last message

objavila posljednju poruku

she ever heard from her grandmother.

koju je ikada čula od svoje bake.

Secrets can take many forms.

Tajne mogu poprimiti razne oblike.

They can be shocking or silly

Mogu biti šokantne,

or soulful.

lude ili dubokih emocija.

They can connect us with our deepest humanity

Mogu nas povezati s našom najdubljom ljudskošću

or with people we'll never meet again.

ili s ljudima koje više nikad nećemo sresti.

Voicemail recording: First saved voice message.

Zapis govorne pošte: Prva sačuvana glasovna poruka.

Grandma: ♫ It's somebody's birthday today ♫

Baka: ♫ Danas je nečiji rođendan ♫

♫ Somebody's birthday today ♫

♫ Nečiji rođendan ♫

♫ The candles are lighted ♫

♫ Svijećice su upaljene ♫

♫ on somebody's cake ♫

♫ na nečijoj torti ♫

♫ And we're all invited ♫

I'll say bye for now.

Za sada te pozdravljam.

FW: Thank you.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

June Cohen: Frank, that was beautiful,

June Cohen: Frank, ovo je bilo divno,

so touching.

toliko dirljivo.

Have you ever sent yourself a postcard?

Jesi li ikad sam sebi poslao razglednicu?

Have you ever sent in a secret to PostSecret?

Jesi li ikada poslao tajnu na PostSecret?

FW: I have one of my own secrets in every book.

FW: Imam jednu od svojih tajni u svakoj knjizi.

I think in some ways, the reason I started the project,

Na neki način mislim kako je razlog što sam započeo ovaj projekt,

even though I didn't know it at the time,

iako to nisam znao u to doba,

was because I was struggling with my own secrets.

bilo to što sam se borio s vlastitim tajnama.

And it was through crowd-sourcing,

I masa mi je pokazala,

it was through the kindness that strangers were showing me,

ljubaznost stranaca mi je pokazala

that I could uncover

da mogu otkriti

parts of my past that were haunting me.

dijelove svoje prošlosti koja me progonila.

JC: And has anyone ever discovered

JC: Je li itko ikada otkrio

which secret was yours in the book?

koja je to vaša tajna u knjizi?

Has anyone in your life been able to tell?

Je li to itko ikada uspio otkriti?

FW: Sometimes I share that information, yeah.

FW: Ponekad podijelim tu informaciju, da.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)
