Activism needs introverts | Sarah Corbett

Prevoditelj: Iva Belina Recezent: Sanda L

A few years ago, about seven years ago,

Prije otprilike sedam godina,

I found myself hiding in a festival toilet,

zatekla sam se skrivena u festivalskom zahodu,

a music festival toilet,

u zahodu glazbenog festivala,

and if anyone's been to a music festival,

a ako ste ikada bili na glazbenom festivalu,

yeah, you'll know that by the third day,

znate da do trećeg dana

it's pretty nasty.

postaje prilično gadan.

I was standing in the toilet because I couldn't even sit down,

Stajala sam u zahodu jer nisam mogla ni sjesti,

because the toilet roll had run out,

jer više nije bilo toaletnog papira,

there was mud everywhere,

svuda je bilo blata

and it smelled pretty bad.

i prilično je smrdjelo.

And I stood there thinking,

Stajala sam tamo i razmišljala,

"What am I doing? I don't even need the toilet."

"Što radim ovdje? Ni ne trebam na zahod."

But the reason I went

A bila sam tamo zato

was because I was volunteering for a large charity on climate justice,

što sam volontirala za veliku dobrotvornu udrugu koja potiče klimatsku pravdu,

and it was seven years ago,

a bilo je to prije sedam godina,

when lots of people didn't believe in climate change,

kada mnogo ljudi nije vjerovalo u klimatske promjene

i ljudi su cinično gledali na aktivizam.

people were very cynical about activism,

Uloga koju smo imali ja i ostatak tima,

and my role, with all of my teammates,

bila je da nagovorimo ljude da potpišu peticije o klimatskoj pravdi

was to get people to sign petitions on climate justice

and educate them a bit more about the issue.

i malo ih educiramo o tom problemu.

And I cared deeply about climate change and lots of inequality,

Bilo mi je stalo do klimatskih promjena i nejednakosti u društvu

so I'd go and I'd talk to lots of people,

pa sam išla pričati s ljudima,

which made me nervous and drained me of energy,

a zbog toga sam se osjećala nervozno i iscrpljeno.

but I did it because I cared,

No, radila sam to jer mi je bilo stalo.

but I would hide in the toilets, because I'd be exhausted,

Skrivala sam se u zahodima jer sam bila iscrpljena

and I didn't want my teammates doubting my commitment to the cause,

i nisam htjela da članovi mojeg tima sumnjaju u moju predanost cilju

thinking that I was slacking.

ili da misle da se izvlačim iz posla.

And we'd go and meet at the end of our shift,

Nalazili smo se na kraju smjene

and we'd count how many petitions had been signed,

i prebrojavali koliko je peticija potpisano,

and often I'd win the amount of petitions signed

i često bih ja imala najviše potpisanih peticija,

even though I had my little breaks in the toilet.

iako sam imala svoje male pauze u zahodu.

But I was always very jealous of the other activists,

Ali, uvijek sam bila jako ljubomorna na druge aktiviste,

because either they had the same amount of energy

jer su ili imali jednaku količinu energije

as they had when they began the shift of getting people to sign petitions,

kao i na početku smjene za promoviranje peticije,

or often they had more energy,

ili su često imali više energije

and they'd be really excited about going to watch the bands in the evening

i bili su jako uzbuđeni što će ići slušati bendove navečer

and having a dance.

i plesati.

And even if I loved the bands,

No, čak i kad su mi se svidjeli bendovi,

all I wanted to do was to go back to my tent and have a sleep,

sve što sam htjela bilo je otići natrag u šator i spavati,

because I'd just feel completely wiped out,

jer sam se osjećala potpuno iscrpljeno

and I was really jealous of people that had the energy

i bila sam jako ljubomorna na ljude koji su imali energije

to go and party hard at the festivals.

za tulumarenje na festivalima.

But it also made me really angry, as well, inside.

No, to me i jako naljutilo.

I thought, "This isn't fair, I'm an introvert,

Pomislila sam: "Ovo nije fer, ja sam introvert,

and all of the offline campaigning seems to be favoring extroverts."

a sve offline kampanje bile su pogodnije za ekstroverte."

I would go on marches which drained me.

Išla sam na prosvjede, a to me iscrpljivalo.

That was the other option.

To je bila druga opcija.

Or I'd go and join campaigns outside embassies or shops.

Ili bih se pridružila prosvjedima ispred ambasada ili dućana.

The only thing that was on offer was around lots of people,

Sve što se nudilo uključivalo je mnogo ljudi,

it was very loud activism,

bio je to jako glasan aktivizam

it always involved lots of people, it was performing.

i uvijek je uključivao mnogo ljudi. Bio je to nastup.

None of it was for introverts,

Ništa od toga nije bilo za introverte

and I not only thought that that wasn't fair,

i mislila sam da to nije fer,

because a third to a half of the world's population are introverts,

jer introverti čine između jedne trećine i polovine svjetske populacije,

which isn't fair on them, because we burn out,

što nije fer za nas, jer pregorimo,

or we'd be put off by activism and not do it,

ili nas to udalji od aktivizma i ne bavimo se njime,

and everyone needs to be an activist in this world.

a svi ljudi na ovom svijetu trebaju biti aktivisti.

And also, I didn't think it was particularly clever,

K tome, nisam mislila da je pretjerano pametno,

but I could see that a lot of the activism that worked

ali vidjela sam da mnogo učinkovitog aktivizma

wasn't only extrovert activism.

nije bio samo ekstrovertirani aktivizam.

It wasn't only the loud stuff.

Nisu to bile samo glasne aktivnosti.

It wasn't about people performing all the time.

Nije bila stvar u stalnim nastupima.

A lot of the work that was needed was in the background,

Bilo je mnogo neophodnih poslova za raditi u pozadini,

was hidden, wasn't seen.

poslova koji su skriveni i koji se ne vide.

And when I ended up just being a campaigner,

I kada sam završila kao sudionik kampanje,

because it's the only job I can do, really --

jer je to jedini posao koji mogu raditi,

I was campaigning at university,

sudjelovala sam na kampanjama na sveučilištu

and for the last 10 years, I've been a professional campaigner

i zadnjih deset godina time se profesionalno bavim

for large charities,

za velike dobrotvorne udruge,

and now I'm a creative campaigner consultant for different charities

a sada radim kao savjetnica za kreativne kampanje raznih dobrotvornih udruga,

as well as other work I do --

uz sav drugi posao koji radim.

but I knew that there were other forms of activism that were needed.

No, znala sam da su nam potrebni i drugi oblici aktivizma.

I started tinkering about seven years ago

Prije sedam godina počela sam eksperimentirati

to see what quieter forms of activism I could engage with

da vidim kojim bih se tišim oblicima aktivizma mogla baviti

so I didn't burn out as an activist,

kako ne bih pregorjela,

but also to look at some of the issues I was concerned about in campaigning.

ali i da se pozabavim nekim problemima koji su me zabrinjavali u kampanjama.

I was very lucky that, when I worked for Oxfam and other big charities,

Imala sam sreće što sam tijekom rada za Oxfam i druge velike udruge,

I could read lots of big reports

mogla pročitati puno izvještaja

on what influenced politicians and businesses

o tome što utječe na političare i poslove,

and the general public,

kao i na širu javnost,

what campaigns worked really well, which ones didn't.

koje kampanje su dobro prošle, a koje nisu.

And I'm a bit of a geek, so I look at all of that stuff,

Pomalo sam štreberica pa volim čitati o takvim stvarima

and I wanted to tinker around

i htjela sam vidjeti

to see how I could engage people in social change in a different way,

kako mogu uključiti ljude u društvene promjene na drugačiji način,

because I think if we want the world to be more beautiful, kind and just,

jer mislim da ako svi želimo da svijet bude ljepši, ljubazniji i pravedniji,

then our activism should be beautiful, kind and just,

onda i naš aktivizam treba biti lijep, ljubazan i pravedan,

and often it's not.

a često to nije.

And today, I just want to talk about three ways

Danas želim pričati o tri načina

that I think activism needs introverts.

na koja su intoverti potrebni aktivizmu.

I think there's lot of other ways, but I'm just going to talk about three.

Mislim da ima više načina, ali pričat ću samo o ta tri.

And the first one is: activism is often very quick,

Prvi je: aktivizam je često vrlo brz

and it's about doing,

i često se radi o djelovanju,

so extroverts, often their immediate response to injustice is,

i prvi je odgovor ekstroverata na nepravdu

we've got to do stuff now,

da odmah moramo djelovati.

we've got to react really quickly --

Moramo brzo reagirati --

and yes, we do need to react,

i da, moramo reagirati,

but we need to be strategic in our campaigning,

ali moramo strateški razmišljati u našim kampanjama.

and if we just act on anger,

Ako samo reagiramo iz ljutnje,

often we do the wrong things.

često činimo krive stvari.

I use craft, like needlework --

Ja koristim rad rukama, poput vezanja --

like this guy behind me is doing --

kao što vidite na slici iza mene --

as a way to not only slow down those extrovert doers,

kako bih usporila ekstroverte koji su više od akcije,

but also to bring in nervous, quiet introverts into activism.

već i kako bih uvela nervozne i tihe introverte u aktivizam.

By doing repetitive actions,

Radnje koje se ponavljaju, poput rada rukama,

like handicraft, you can't do it fast, you have to do it slowly.

moraš raditi polako, a ne brzo.

And those repetitive stitches

Ponavljanje radnji pri vezenju

help you meditate on the big, complex, messy social change issues

pomaže ti da razmisliš o kompleksnim problemima kod društvenih promjena

and figure out what we can do

i otkriješ što možeš napraviti

as a citizen, as a consumer, as a constituent,

kao građanin, kao potrošač, kao birač,

and all of those different things.

i sve te druge razne stvari.

It helps you think critically while you're stitching away,

Pomaže ti da razmišljaš kritički dok vezeš

and it helps you be more mindful of what are your motives.

i pomaže ti da budeš više svjestan svojih motiva.

Are you that Barbie aid worker that was mentioned before?

Pomaže ti da otkriješ radiš li volonterski posao kako bi izgledao dobro,

Are you about joining people in solidarity,

želiš li se povezati s ljudima na temelju solidarnosti,

or do you want to be the savior, which often isn't very ethical?

ili pak želiš biti spasitelj, što često nije vrlo etički.

But doing needle work together, as well,

Ali, kada vezemo zajedno,

extroverts and introverts and ambivert --

ekstroverti, introverti i ambiverti,

everyone's on the scale in different places --

svi smo na različitom mjestu spektra --

because it's a quiet, slow form of activism,

jer je to tih, spori oblik aktivizma,

it really helps introverts be heard

zbilja pomaže introvertima da se čuje njihovo mišljenje

in other areas, where they are often not heard.

u područjima u kojima se njihov glas često izgubi.

It sounds odd,

To zvuči pomalo neobično,

but while you're stitching, you don't need eye contact with people.

ali dok vezeš, ne moraš gledati ljude u oči.

So, for nervous introverts,

Zato za nervozne introverte to znači

it means that you can stitch away next to someone or a group of people

da mogu vesti pokraj neke osobe ili grupe ljudi

and ask questions that you're thinking

i pitati ih pitanja

that often you don't get time to ask people,

koja često ne stignu pitati,

or you're too nervous to ask if you give them eye contact.

ili su pak previše nervozni pitati kada ih se gleda u oči.

So you can get introverts, who are those big, deep thinkers,

Tako da introverti, koji vole duboko promišljati o stvarima,

saying, "That's really interesting that you want to do

kažu: "Jako je zanimljivo što se želiš baviti

that extrovert form of activism that's about shaming people

ekstrovertiranim oblikom aktivizma koji se bazira na posramljivanju ljudi

or quickly going out somewhere,

ili brzom odlasku nekamo,

but who are you trying to target and how,

ali tko ti je ciljana publika i koji ti je plan,

and is that the best way to do it?"

i je li to najbolji način?"

So it means you could have these discussions in a very slow way,

To znači da možeš polako raspravljati o svemu ovome,

which is great for the extrovert to slow down and think deeply,

što pomaže ekstrovertima da uspore i promisle o problemima,

but it's really good for the introvert as well,

no, pomaže i introvertima

to be heard and to feel part of that movement for change,

da se čuje i njihov glas i da se, za promjenu, osjećaju kao dio pokreta,

in a good way.

na dobar način.

Some ways we do it is stitch cards

Jedan od naših načina je da vezemo kartice

about what values we thread through our activism,

o tome koje vrijednosti prožimaju naš aktivizam,

and making sure that we don't just react in unethical ways.

i brinemo se da ne reagiramo na neetičan način.

One, sometimes we work with art institutions

Ponekad surađujemo s umjetničkim institucijama

where we will get over 150 people at the V&A

i dovedemo više od 150 ljudi u muzej

who can come for hours,

na nekoliko sati

sit and stitch together on a particular issue,

i onda sjede, vezu i razmišljaju zajedno o nekom problemu,

and then tweet what they're thinking or how it went, like this one.

a onda tweetaju svoje mišljenje o problemu ili radionici, kao na ekranu.

Also, I always think that activism needs introverts

Ujedno mislim da aktivizmu trebaju introverti

because we're really good at intimate activism.

jer nam jako dobro idu intimni oblici aktivizma.

Dakle, dobro nam ide spori aktivizam

So we're good at slow activism,

and we're really good at intimate activism,

i dobri smo u intimnom aktivizmu,

and if this year has told us anything,

a ako smo išta naučili ove godine,

it's told us that we need to, when we're engaging power holders,

to je da, kada pričamo s ljudima koji su na moćnim pozicijama,

we need to engage them by listening to people we disagree with,

moramo pričati s njima slušajući ljude s kojima se ne slažemo,

by building bridges not walls --

početi se povezivati, a ne ograđivati --

walls or wars --

ograđivati ili se zaraćivati --

and by being critical friends, not aggressive enemies.

i to tako što smo kritični prijatelji, a ne agresivni neprijatelji.

And one example that I do a lot with introverts,

Na primjer, s puno introverata

but with lots of people,

i s puno ljudi

is make gifts for people in power,

izrađujem darove za ljude na vlasti,

so not be outside screaming at them,

dakle ne vrištimo na njih pred vratima,

but to give them something like a bespoke handkerchief

nego im damo nešto poput prigodnih rupčića

na kojima piše: "Nemoj uprskati.

saying, "Don't blow it.

Use your power for good.

Iskoristi svoju moć za dobro.

We know you've got a difficult job in your position of power.

Znamo da imate težak posao na svojoj poziciji moći.

How can we help you?"

Kako ti možemo pomoći?"

And what's great is, for the introverts,

A odlična stvar za introverte je

we can write letters while we're making these gifts,

što možemo pisati pisma dok radimo ove poklone,

so for us, Marks and Spencer,

tako smo pokušali voditi kampanju

we tried to campaign to get them to implement the living wage.

kako bi Marks & Spencer uveo plaće dostatne za život.

So we made all the 14 board members bespoke handkerchiefs.

Napravili smo prigodne rupčiće za svih 14 članova upravnog odbora.

We wrote them letters, we boxed them up,

Napisali smo im pisma, upakirali ih

and we went to the AGM to hand-deliver our gifts

i otišli na njihovu godišnju glavnu skupštinu da podijelimo darove

and to have that form of intimate activism

i kako bismo započeli taj intimni oblik aktivizma,

where we had discussions with them.

gdje možemo diskutirati s njima.

And what was brilliant was that the chair of the board

Sjajno je što nam je predsjednik odbora

told us how amazing our campaign was,

rekao da je naša kampanja nevjerojatna

how heartfelt it was.

i iskrena.

The board members, like Martha Lane Fox,

Članovi odbora, kao Martha Lane Fox,

who has hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter,

koja ima stotine tisuća followera na Twitteru

and highly influential in business,

i koja je jako utjecajna u poslovnom svijetu,

tweeted how impressed she was,

tweetala je kako je impresionirana,

and within 10 months,

i u slijedećih 10 mjeseci,

we'd had meetings with Marks and Spencer

imali smo sastanke s Marks & Spencer

to say, "We know this is difficult to be a living wage employer,

na kojima smo rekli: "Znamo da je teško biti poslodavac koji daje dostojnu plaću,

but if you can be one,

ali ako vi to možete,

the rest of the sector will look at it,

ostatak sektora će se ugledati na vas

and it's not right that some of your amazing workers are working full time

i nije u redu da neki od vaših izvrsnih radnika rade puno radno vrijeme,

and still can't pay their bills.

a ipak ne mogu platiti račune.

And we love Marks and Spencer.

I mi volimo Marks & Spencer.

How can you be the role model that we want you to be?"

Kako možete biti uzor koji mi želimo da budete?"

So that was that intimate form of activism.

To je bio intimni oblik aktivizma.

We had lots of meetings with them.

Imali smo mnogo sastanaka s njima.

We then gave them Christmas cards and Valentine's cards to say,

Zatim smo im dali Božićne čestitke i čestitke za Valentinovo kako bismo rekli:

"We really want to encourage you to implement the living wage,

"Zbilja vas želimo potaknuti da počnete davati plaće dostatne za život"

and within 10 months, they'd announced to the media

i unutar 10 mjeseci najavili su medijima

that they were going to pay the independent living wage, and now --

da će početi plaćati minimalne nadnice dovoljne za samostalan život i --

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

And now we're trying to work with them to be accredited,

I sada radimo s njima da bi postali ovlašteni,

which is really important,

što je jako bitno,

and we went back to the last AGM this June

i otišli smo s njima na zadnju glavnu skupštinu u lipnju

and we had these amazing one-to-one discussions with the board members,

i pričali u četiri oka s članovima odbora,

who told us how much they loved their hankies

koji su nam rekli da su im se svidjeli rupčići

and how it really moved them, what we were doing,

i da ih je dirnulo to što radimo.

and they all told us that if we were standing outside screaming at them

Svi su nam rekli, da smo stajali vani i vrištali na njih,

and not being gentle in our protest,

da im nismo ljubazno pristupili,

they wouldn't have even listened to us,

ne bi nas ni poslušali,

never mind had those discussions with us.

a kamoli diskutirali s nama.

And I think introverts are really good at intimate activism

Mislim da su introverti jako dobri u intimnom aktivizmu

because we like to listen,

jer volimo slušati,

we like one-to-ones,

volimo razgovore u četiri oka,

we don't like small talks,

ne volimo čavrljati,

we like those big, juicy issues to discuss with people,

volimo raspravljati o velikim, sočnim problemima s ljudima,

we don't like conflict,

ne volimo konflikte

so we avoid it at all costs,

pa ih izbjegavamo pod svaku cijenu,

which is really important when we're trying to engage power holders,

što je jako važno kada pokušavamo pričati s moćnim ljudima,

not to be conflicting with them all the time.

da se ne sukobljavamo s njima stalno.

The third way I think activists are really missing out

Treći način na koji mislim da aktivisti gube nešto

if they don't engage introverts

ako ne angažiraju introverte,

is that introverts, like I said, can be half of the world's population,

je da introverti, kao što sam rekla, čine skoro pola svjetske populacije

and most of us won't say that we're introvert,

i većina nas neće reći da smo introverti,

or we get embarrassed by saying what overwhelms us.

ili ćemo se sramiti reći što su nam slabosti.

So for me, a few years ago,

Što se tiče mene, prije par godina,

my mom used to send me texts in capital letters --

mama mi je znala slati poruke napisane velikim slovima --

and she can now do emojis and everything, she's fine --

danas zna koristiti smajliće i sve, ide joj dobro --

but as soon as I'd see this text,

ali kad bih vidjela takve poruke,

I'd wince and think, "Ooh, it's capital letters, it's too much."

lecnula bih se i pomislila "Oh, napisana je velikim slovima, to mi je previše."

And I'd have to ignore it to read the lovely text she sent me.

Morala sam zanemariti slova da bih pročitala poruku koju mi je poslala.

And that's a bit embarrassing,

I malo je neugodno

reći ljudima da te velika slova smetaju,

to tell people that capital letters overwhelm you,

but we really need introverts to help us do intriguing activism

ali zbilja nam trebaju introverti da nam pomognu u zanimljivim oblicima aktivizma

that attracts them rather than puts them off.

koji ih privlače, a ne odbijaju.

We're put off by big and brash giant posters

Odbijaju nas veliki i napadni divovski plakati

and capital letters and explanation marks

i velika slova i uskličnici

telling us what to do and vying for our attention.

koji nam govore što da radimo i nadmeću se za našu pažnju.

So some of the things I do with people around the world who take part

Jedna od stvari koju radim s ljudima diljem svijeta,

is make small bits of provocative street art

su mali komadići provokativne ulične umjetnosti,

which are hung off eye level, very small,

koji su obješeni u razini očiju, jako mali

and they're provocative messages.

i u obliku provokativnih poruka.

They're not preaching at people or telling them what to do.

Te poruke ne prodikuju ljudima i ne govore im što da rade.

They're just getting people to engage in different ways,

One samo pokušavaju potaknuti ljude da se angažiraju

and think for themselves,

i da misle za sebe,

because we don't like to be told what to do.

jer nitko ne voli da mu se kaže što da radi.

It might be wearing a green heart on your sleeve

Jedan od načina je da nosiš zeleno srce na rukavu

saying what you love and how climate change will affect it,

na kojem piše što voliš i kako će klimatske promjene na to utjecati.

and we'll wear it,

Mi nosimo ta srca,

and if people say,

i ako nas ljudi pitaju:

"Why are you wearing a green heart with the word 'chocolate' on?"

"Zašto nosiš zeleno srce na kojem piše 'čokolada'?",

and we can have those one-to-one intimate conversations and say,

onda možemo imati one intimne razgovore u četiri oka i reći im:

"I love chocolate.

"Volim čokoladu.

Climate change is going to affect it,

Klimatske promjene će djelovati na nju

and I think there's lot of other things that climate change will affect,

i mislim da ima još stvari na koje će klimatske promjene utjecati,

i zbilja se želim pobrinuti da budem dio rješenja, a ne problema.

and I really want to make sure I'm part of the solution, not the problem."

And then we deflect, because we don't like to be the center of attention,

I onda skrenemo pažnju na njih jer mi ne volimo biti u središtu pažnje,

and say, "What do you love and how will climate change affect it?"

i kažemo: "Što ti voliš i kako će klimatske promjene utjecati na to?"

Or it might be shop-dropping instead of shop-lifting,

Još jedan način je ostavljanje u trgovinama umjesto krađe.

where we'll make little mini-scrolls with lovely stories on

Mi napravimo malene svitke na kojima su ljupke priče

about what's the story behind your clothes.

o pričama koje se kriju iza vaše odjeće.

Is it a joyful story of how it's made, or is it a torturous one?

Je li to vesela priča o izradi ili je okrutna?

And we'll just drop them in little pockets in shops,

Mi ubacimo svitke u džepiće u dućanima

all lowercase, all handwritten,

i svi su napisani ručno i malim slovima,

with kisses and smiley faces in ribbon,

s poljupcima i smajlićima na vrpci,

and then people are excited that they found it.

i onda su ljudi uzbuđeni što su ih našli.

And we often drop them in unethical shops

Često ubacujemo svitke u dućanima koji ne rade etički

or in front pockets,

ili u prednje džepove,

and it's a way that we can do offline campaigning

i to je način na koji radimo offline kampanje,

that engages us and doesn't burn us out,

koji nas angažira a da ne pregorimo,

but also engages other people in an intriguing way online and offline.

a angažira i druge ljude na zanimljive načine online i offline.

So I've got two calls to action,

Stoga imam dva poziva na akciju,

for the introverts and for the extroverts.

za introverte i ekstroverte.

For the ambivert,

Što se tiče ambiverta,

you're involved in all of it.

vi ste uključeni u sve.

For the extroverts, I want to say that when you're planning a campaign,

Za ekstroverte, želim reći da kada planirate kampanje,

think about introverts.

mislite na introverte.

Think about how valuable our skills are, just as much as extroverts'.

Sjetite se koliko su vrijedne vještine introverata kao i ekstroverata.

We're good at slowing down and thinking deeply,

Dobro nam ide usporavanje i duboko promišljanje

and the detail of issues, we're really good at bringing them out.

i dobro nam ide iznošenje detalja problema.

We're good at intimate activism, so use us in that way.

Dobro nam ide intimni aktivizam, pa nas koristite na taj način.

And we're good at intriguing people

I dobri smo u privlačenju ljudi

by doing strange little things that help create conversations and thought.

malim stvarima koje potiču razgovor ili promišljanje.

Introverts, my call to action for you is,

Introverti, moj poziv na akciju za vas je,

I know you like being on your own,

znam da volite biti sami

I know you like being in your head,

i znam da volite biti u svojoj glavi,

but activism needs you,

ali aktivizam vas treba

so sometimes you've got to get out there.

pa ponekad morate izaći i djelovati.

It doesn't mean that you've got to turn into an extrovert and burn out,

To ne znači da se morate pretvoriti u ekstroverta i pregoriti,

jer to nikome ne koristi,

because that's no use for anyone,

but what it does mean

nego to znači

is that you should value the skills and the traits that you have

da trebate cijeniti vještine i osobine koje imate

that activism needs.

i koje trebaju aktivizmu.

So for everyone in this room,

Za sve ovdje,

whether you're an extrovert or an introvert or an ambivert,

bili vi ekstrovert, introvert ili ambivert,

the world needs you now more than ever,

svijet vas treba više no ikad

and you've got no excuse not to get involved.

i nemate isprike da se ne uključite.

Thanks.

Hvala.

(Applause)
