Neil Pasricha: The 3 A's of awesome

Prevoditelj: Ariana Crvenka Recezent: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG

So the Awesome story:

Fenomenalna priča:

It begins about 40 years ago,

ona počinje prije oko 40 godina

when my mom and my dad came to Canada.

kada su moji mama i tata došli u Kanadu.

My mom left Nairobi, Kenya.

Moja mama je napustila Nairobi u Keniji.

My dad left a small village outside of Amritsar, India.

Moj je tata napustio malo selo izvan Amritsara u Indiji.

And they got here in the late 1960s.

Stigli su ovamo u kasnim 1960ima.

They settled in a shady suburb about an hour east of Toronto,

Smjestili su se u sjenovitom predgrađu oko sat vremena istočno od Toronta.

and they settled into a new life.

I započeli su novi život.

They saw their first dentist,

Vidjeli su svog prvog zubara,

they ate their first hamburger,

pojeli svoj prvi hamburger

and they had their first kids.

i imali svoju prvu djecu.

My sister and I

Moja sestra i ja

grew up here,

smo ovdje odrasli

and we had quiet, happy childhoods.

i imali smo tiho, sretno djetinjstvo.

We had close family,

Imali smo blisku obitelj,

good friends, a quiet street.

dobre prijatelje, mirnu ulicu.

We grew up taking for granted

Odrasli smo uzimajući zdravo za gotovo

a lot of the things that my parents couldn't take for granted

mnoge stvari koje moji roditelji nisu mogli uzeti zdravo za gotovo

when they grew up --

kad su odrastali --

things like power always on

stvari poput toga da uvijek ima struje

in our houses,

u našim kućama,

things like schools across the street

stvari kao što su škole preko puta,

and hospitals down the road

bolnice uz cestu

and popsicles in the backyard.

i sladoled na štapiću u dvorištu.

We grew up, and we grew older.

Rasli smo i odrasli smo.

I went to high school.

Išao sam u srednju školu.

I graduated.

Diplomirao sam.

I moved out of the house, I got a job,

Iselio sam se iz kuće, našao posao,

I found a girl, I settled down --

našao djevojku, smirio se --

and I realize it sounds like a bad sitcom or a Cat Stevens' song --

shvaćam da to zvuči kao loša humoristička serija ili pjesma Cata Stevensa.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

but life was pretty good.

Ali život je bio prilično dobar.

Life was pretty good.

Život je bio prilično dobar.

2006 was a great year.

2006. je bila izvrsna godina.

Under clear blue skies in July in the wine region of Ontario,

U srpnju, pod čistim plavim nebom vinogradarskog područja Ontarija,

I got married,

oženio sam se

surrounded by 150 family and friends.

okružen sa 150 članova obitelji i prijatelja.

2007 was a great year.

2007. je bila izvrsna godina.

I graduated from school,

Diplomirao sam

and I went on a road trip with two of my closest friends.

i otišao na putovanje sa svoja dva najbliža prijatelja.

Here's a picture of me and my friend, Chris,

Ovdje je slika mene i mog prijatelja Chrisa

on the coast of the Pacific Ocean.

na obali Tihog oceana.

We actually saw seals out of our car window,

Zapravo smo vidjeli tuljane kroz prozor našeg automobila

and we pulled over to take a quick picture of them

i parkirali se kako bismo ih na brzinu uslikali,

and then blocked them with our giant heads.

ali smo ih tada zaklonili svojim ogromnim glavama.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So you can't actually see them,

Tako da ih zapravo ne možete vidjeti,

but it was breathtaking,

ali pogled je oduzimao dah,

believe me.

vjerujte mi.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

2008 and 2009 were a little tougher.

2008. i 2009. su bile malo teže.

I know that they were tougher for a lot of people,

Znam da su bile teže mnogim ljudima,

not just me.

a ne samo meni.

First of all, the news was so heavy.

Kao prvo, vijesti su bile tako teške.

It's still heavy now, and it was heavy before that,

Još uvijek su teške, i bile su teške prije toga,

but when you flipped open a newspaper, when you turned on the TV,

ali kada bi rastvorili novine, kada bi upalili televizor,

it was about ice caps melting,

bilo je o otapanju ledenih kapa,

wars going on around the world,

ratovima koji se vode širom svijeta,

earthquakes, hurricanes

zemljotresima, olujama

and an economy that was wobbling on the brink of collapse,

i ekonomiji koja je teturala na rubu propasti,

and then eventually did collapse,

a zatim konačno i propala,

and so many of us losing our homes,

i toliko nas je izgubilo svoje domove,

or our jobs,

ili svoja radna mjesta,

or our retirements,

ili svoje mirovine,

or our livelihoods.

ili svoja sredstva za život.

2008, 2009 were heavy years for me for another reason, too.

2008. i 2009. bile su za mene teške iz još jednog razloga.

I was going through a lot of personal problems at the time.

Prolazio sam kroz mnoge osobne probleme u to vrijeme.

My marriage wasn't going well,

Mom braku nije išlo dobro

and we just were growing further and further apart.

i samo smo se sve više i više udaljavali.

One day my wife came home from work

Jednog dana moja supruga je došla kući s posla

and summoned the courage, through a lot of tears,

i skupila hrabrosti, kroz mnogo suza,

to have a very honest conversation.

za vrlo iskren razgovor.

And she said, "I don't love you anymore,"

Rekla je: "Više te ne volim."

and it was one of the most painful things I'd ever heard

To je bila jedna od najbolnijih stvari koju sam ikada čuo

and certainly the most heartbreaking thing I'd ever heard,

i zasigurno stvar koja mi je dotad najviše slomila srce,

until only a month later,

sve dok mjesec dana kasnije

when I heard something even more heartbreaking.

nisam čuo nešto što mi je još više slamalo srce.

My friend Chris, who I just showed you a picture of,

Moj prijatelj Chris, čiju sam vam sliku maloprije pokazao,

had been battling mental illness for some time.

borio se neko vrijeme s mentalnom bolešću.

And for those of you

Oni među vama

whose lives have been touched by mental illness,

čiji su životi bili dirnuti mentalnom bolešću,

you know how challenging it can be.

znaju kako to može biti izazovno.

I spoke to him on the phone at 10:30 p.m.

Razgovarao sam s njim preko telefona u 22:30

on a Sunday night.

u nedjelju navečer.

We talked about the TV show we watched that evening.

Pričali smo o TV programu koji smo gledali tu večer.

And Monday morning, I found out that he disappeared.

A u ponedjeljak ujutro sam saznao kako je nestao.

Very sadly, he took his own life.

Vrlo tužno, oduzeo si je život.

And it was a really heavy time.

To je bilo stvarno teško vrijeme.

And as these dark clouds were circling me,

Dok su me okruživali ti tamni oblaci

and I was finding it really, really difficult

i dok mi je bilo stvarno, stvarno teško

to think of anything good,

misliti na bilo što dobro,

I said to myself that I really needed a way

rekao sam si da stvarno trebam način

to focus on the positive somehow.

da se nekako usredotočim na pozitivno.

So I came home from work one night,

Tako sam jedne noći došao kući s posla,

and I logged onto the computer,

logirao se na računalo

and I started up a tiny website

i započeo sičušnu web stranicu

called 1000awesomethings.com.

nazvanu "1000 fenomenalnih stvari" (1000awesomethings.com).

I was trying to remind myself

Pokušavao sam se podsjetiti

of the simple, universal, little pleasures that we all love,

na jednostavna, univerzalna, mala zadovoljstva koja svi mi volimo,

but we just don't talk about enough --

samo o njima dovoljno ne pričamo --

things like waiters and waitresses

stvari poput konobara i konobarica

who bring you free refills without asking,

koji vam donosu besplatnu kavu bez da to tražite,

being the first table to get called up

sjedenja za prvim stolom

to the dinner buffet at a wedding,

na večeri na vjenčanju,

wearing warm underwear from just out of the dryer,

nošenja toplog donjeg rublja tek izvađenog iz sušilice,

or when cashiers open up a new check-out lane at the grocery store

ili kad blagajnici otvaraju novi red u trgovini

and you get to be first in line --

i uspijete biti prvi na redu --

even if you were last at the other line, swoop right in there.

čak i ako ste bili zadnji u onom drugom redu, ubacite se upravo ovdje.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And slowly over time,

I polako tijekom vremena,

I started putting myself in a better mood.

počeo sam biti sve boljeg raspoloženja.

I mean, 50,000 blogs

Mislim, 50.000 blogova

are started a day,

svakodnevno započinje.

and so my blog was just one of those 50,000.

Tako da je moj blog bio samo jedan od tih 50.000.

And nobody read it except for my mom.

Nitko ga nije čitao osim moje mame.

Although I should say that my traffic did skyrocket

Iako bih trebao reći da je moj promet dosegao vrhunce

and go up by 100 percent

i narastao 100%

when she forwarded it to my dad.

kada ga je proslijedila mome tati.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And then I got excited

Tada sam se uzbudio

when it started getting tens of hits,

kada je počeo dobivati na desetke posjeta.

and then I started getting excited when it started getting dozens

A zatim sam se počeo uzbuđivati kada je počeo dobivati tucete,

and then hundreds and then thousands

pa zatim stotine i onda tisuće

and then millions.

i zatim milijune posjeta.

It started getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

Počeo je biti sve veći i veći i veći.

And then I got a phone call,

Zatim samo primio telefonski poziv,

and the voice at the other end of the line said,

a glas s druge strane linije je rekao:

"You've just won the Best Blog In the World award."

"Upravo ste dobili nagradu za najbolji blog na svijetu."

I was like, that sounds totally fake.

To mi je zvučalo kao skroz lažno.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

Which African country do you want me to wire all my money to?

Kojoj afričkoj zemlji želite da preusmjerim sav svoj novac?

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

But it turns out, I jumped on a plane,

Ali ispostavilo se da sam uskočio na avion

and I ended up walking a red carpet

i završio hodajući po crvenom tepihu

between Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Fallon and Martha Stewart.

između Sarah Silverman, Jimmya Fallona i Marthe Stewart.

And I went onstage to accept a Webby award for Best Blog.

Išao sam na pozornicu primiti Webby nagradu za "Najbolji blog".

And the surprise

Iznenađenje

and just the amazement of that

i zapanjenost svim tim

was only overshadowed by my return to Toronto,

zasjenio je samo moj povratak u Toronto

when, in my inbox,

gdje me u pristigloj pošti

10 literary agents were waiting for me

čekalo 10 književnih zastupnika

to talk about putting this into a book.

da popričaju sa mnom oko stavljanja toga u knjigu.

Flash-forward to the next year

Ubrzavanje u sljedeću godinu

and "The Book of Awesome" has now been

i "Knjiga fenomenalnog" sada je bila

number one on the bestseller list for 20 straight weeks.

broj jedan na listi najbolje prodavanijih knjiga punih 20 tjedana.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

But look, I said I wanted to do three things with you today.

Ali gledajte, rekao sam da želim danas s vama učiniti tri stvari.

I said I wanted to tell you the Awesome story,

Rekao sam da vam želim ispričati fenomenalnu priču,

I wanted to share with you the three As of Awesome,

da želim s vama podijeliti tri tajne "Fenomenalnog"

and I wanted to leave you with a closing thought.

i da vas želim napustiti sa završnom misli.

So let's talk about those three As.

Hajdemo razgovarati o te tri tajne.

Over the last few years,

Tijekom zadnjih nekoliko godina

I haven't had that much time to really think.

nisam imao tako puno vremena stvarno razmišljati.

But lately I have had the opportunity to take a step back

Ali u zadnje vrijeme sam imao priliku odstupiti

and ask myself: "What is it over the last few years

i zapitati se: "Što mi je to tijekom zadnjih nekoliko godina

that helped me grow my website,

pomoglo da moja web stranica naraste,

but also grow myself?"

ali također da uvećam sebe?"

And I've summarized those things, for me personally,

Sažeo sam te stvari, za mene osobno,

as three As.

kao tri tajne.

They are Attitude, Awareness

One su: stav, svjesnost

and Authenticity.

i autentičnost.

I'd love to just talk about each one briefly.

Volio bih o svakoj od njih ukratko pričati.

So Attitude:

Dakle, stav:

Look, we're all going to get lumps,

Gledajte, svi ćemo dobiti čvoruge

and we're all going to get bumps.

i svi ćemo dobiti šljive.

None of us can predict the future, but we do know one thing about it

Nitko od nas ne može predvidjeti budućnost, ali znamo jednu stvar o njoj,

and that's that it ain't gonna go according to plan.

a to je da neće ići prema planu.

We will all have high highs

Svi ćemo imati vrhunce

and big days and proud moments

i velike dane i ponosne trenutke

of smiles on graduation stages,

osmijeha na promocijama,

father-daughter dances at weddings

plesova očeva i kćeri na vjenčanjima

and healthy babies screeching in the delivery room,

i zdravih beba koje vrište u rodilištu,

but between those high highs,

ali između tih vrhunaca

we may also have some lumps and some bumps too.

možemo imati i neke padove.

It's sad, and it's not pleasant to talk about,

Tužno je i nije ugodno o tome pričati,

but your husband might leave you,

ali vaš suprug bi vas mogao napustiti,

your girlfriend could cheat,

vaša djevojka bi vas mogla varati,

your headaches might be more serious than you thought,

vaše glavobolje mogle bi biti ozbiljnije nego što mislite,

or your dog could get hit by a car on the street.

ili bi vašeg psa mogao pregaziti auto na ulici.

It's not a happy thought,

To nije vesela pomisao,

but your kids could get mixed up in gangs

ali vaša bi se djeca mogla uplesti u bande

or bad scenes.

ili loše događaje.

Your mom could get cancer,

Vaša mama bi mogla dobiti rak,

your dad could get mean.

vaš tata bi mogao postati zloban.

And there are times in life

Bit će trenutaka u životu

when you will be tossed in the well, too,

kad ćete i vi biti bačeni na dno,

with twists in your stomach and with holes in your heart,

s grčevima u želucu i rupama u srcu.

and when that bad news washes over you,

A kada vas te loše vijesti preplave

and when that pain sponges and soaks in,

i kada se ta bol upije,

I just really hope you feel

stvarno se samo nadam da osjećate

like you've always got two choices.

kao da uvijek imate dva izbora.

One, you can swirl and twirl

Jedan, da se kovitlate

and gloom and doom forever,

i budete tmurni i osuđeni na propast zauvijek,

or two, you can grieve

ili drugi, da možete tugovati,

and then face the future

a zatim se okrenuti prema budućnosti

with newly sober eyes.

s novim trezvenim očima.

Having a great attitude is about choosing option number two,

Imati izvrstan stav znači izabrati mogućnost broj dva

and choosing, no matter how difficult it is,

i birati, bez obzira na to koliko je teško,

no matter what pain hits you,

bez obzira na to koliko vas bol pogađa,

choosing to move forward and move on

birati krenuti naprijed i nastaviti

and take baby steps into the future.

i poduzimati male korake prema budućnosti.

The second "A" is Awareness.

Druga tajna fenomenalnog je svjesnost.

I love hanging out with three year-olds.

Volim se družiti s trogodišnjacima.

I love the way that they see the world,

Volim način na koji oni vide svijet,

because they're seeing the world for the first time.

jer oni vide svijet po prvi puta.

I love the way that they can stare at a bug crossing the sidewalk.

Volim način na koji oni bulje u kukca koji prelazi pločnik.

I love the way that they'll stare slack-jawed

Volim način na koji će razrogačeno buljiti

at their first baseball game

na svojoj prvoj bejzbol utakmici

with wide eyes and a mitt on their hand,

široko otvorenih očiju i stisnute šake,

soaking in the crack of the bat and the crunch of the peanuts

upijajući zvukove i hrskanje kikirikija

and the smell of the hotdogs.

i miris hot-doga.

I love the way that they'll spend hours picking dandelions in the backyard

Volim način na koji će oni provesti sate berući maslačke u dvorištu

and putting them into a nice centerpiece

i staviti ih kao aranžman na sredinu stola

for Thanksgiving dinner.

za večeru na Dan zahvalnosti.

I love the way that they see the world,

Volim način na koji oni vide svijet,

because they're seeing the world

zato što vide svijet

for the first time.

po prvi puta.

Having a sense of awareness

Imati osjećaj svjesnosti

is just about embracing your inner three year-old.

jednostavno znači prihvaćati svog unutarnjeg trogodišnjaka.

Because you all used to be three years old.

Jer svi ste vi nekad bili trogodišnjaci.

That three-year-old boy is still part of you.

Taj trogodišnji dječak je još uvijek dio vas.

That three-year-old girl is still part of you.

Ta trogodišnja djevojčica je još uvijek dio vas.

They're in there.

Oni su tu unutra.

And being aware is just about remembering

Biti svjestan jednostavno znači sjetiti se

that you saw everything you've seen

da si sve što si vidio, vidio

for the first time once, too.

jednom po prvi puta.

So there was a time when it was your first time ever

Znači, postojao je trenutak koji je bio tvoj prvi put ikad

hitting a string of green lights on the way home from work.

da si pogodio niz zelenih svjetala na semaforu na putu kući s posla.

There was the first time you walked by the open door of a bakery

Postojao je prvi put kad si prošao kraj otvorenih vrata pekarnice

and smelt the bakery air,

i osjetio miris peciva

or the first time you pulled a 20-dollar bill out of your old jacket pocket

ili prvi puta kad si izvukao novčanicu od 20 dolara iz džepa svoje stare jakne

and said, "Found money."

i rekao: "Našao sam novac."

The last "A" is Authenticity.

Zadnja fenomenalna stvar je autentičnost.

And for this one, I want to tell you a quick story.

A u vezi toga želim vam ispričati kratku priču.

Let's go all the way back to 1932

Vratimo se svi u 1932. godinu

when, on a peanut farm in Georgia,

kada se, na farmi kikirikija u Georgiji,

a little baby boy named Roosevelt Grier was born.

rodio mali dječak po imenu Roosevelt Grier.

Roosevelt Grier, or Rosey Grier, as people used to call him,

Roosevelt Grier, ili Rosey Grier, kako su ga obično zvali,

grew up and grew into

rastao je i odrastao u

a 300-pound, six-foot-five linebacker in the NFL.

130 kg teškog i 2 m visokog igrača Nacionalne lige američkog nogometa.

He's number 76 in the picture.

On je broj 76 na slici.

Here he is pictured with the "fearsome foursome."

Ovdje je uslikan s "Fantastičnom četvorkom".

These were four guys on the L.A. Rams in the 1960s

To su četvorica momaka iz momčadi L.A. Ramsa 1960ih

you did not want to go up against.

kojima se ne želite suprostaviti.

They were tough football players doing what they love,

Oni su bili žilavi nogometaši koji su radili ono što vole,

which was crushing skulls

a to je bilo drobljenje lubanja

and separating shoulders on the football field.

i odvajanje ramenima na nogometnom terenu.

But Rosey Grier also had

Ali Rosey Grier imao je

another passion.

još jednu strast.

In his deeply authentic self,

Duboko u svom autentičnom Ja

he also loved needlepoint. (Laughter)

volio je i ručni rad.

He loved knitting.

Volio je kukičati.

He said that it calmed him down, it relaxed him,

Rekao je da ga je to smirivalo, opuštalo,

it took away his fear of flying and helped him meet chicks.

uklanjalo strah od letenja i pomagalo mu da upozna komade.

That's what he said.

Tako je rekao.

I mean, he loved it so much that, after he retired from the NFL,

Mislim, toliko je to volio da se nakon umirovljenja

he started joining clubs.

počeo uključivati u klubove.

And he even put out a book

Čak je izdao knjigu

called "Rosey Grier's Needlepoint for Men."

nazvanu "Gobleni za muškarce Roseya Griera".

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

It's a great cover.

Izvrstan naslov.

If you notice, he's actually needlepointing his own face.

Ako primjećujete, on zapravo plete vlastito lice.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And so what I love about this story

Ono što volim u vezi te priče

is that Rosey Grier

je to da je Rosey Grier

is just such an authentic person,

tako autentična osoba.

and that's what authenticity is all about.

A to je ono o čemu se radi kod autentičnosti.

It's just about being you and being cool with that.

To znači biti svoj i biti ok s time.

And I think when you're authentic,

Mislim da, kada si autentičan,

you end up following your heart,

završiš tako da slijediš svoje srce

and you put yourself in places

i stavljaš se na mjesta,

and situations and in conversations

u situacije i razgovore

that you love and that you enjoy.

koje voliš i u kojima uživaš.

You meet people that you like talking to.

Srećeš ljude s kojima voliš razgovarati.

You go places you've dreamt about.

Ideš na mjesta o kojima si sanjao.

And you end you end up following your heart

I završiš slijedeći svoje srce

and feeling very fulfilled.

i osjećaš se vrlo ispunjeno.

So those are the three A's.

To su tri tajne fenomenalnog.

For the closing thought, I want to take you all the way back

Za završnu misao, želim vas odvesti u vrijeme

to my parents coming to Canada.

kad su moji roditelji došli u Kanadu.

I don't know what it would feel like

Ne znam kakav bi to bio osjećaj

coming to a new country when you're in your mid-20s.

doći u novu zemlju kad si u svojim dvadesetima.

I don't know, because I never did it,

Ne znam, jer nisam to nikada napravio.

but I would imagine that it would take a great attitude.

Ali mogu misliti da je za to potreban izvrstan stav.

I would imagine that you'd have to be pretty aware of your surroundings

Mogu zamisliti da biste trebali biti prilično svjesni svojeg okruženja

and appreciating the small wonders

i cijeniti mala čuda

that you're starting to see in your new world.

kada započinjete gledati svoj novi svijet.

And I think you'd have to be really authentic,

Mislim da biste trebali biti stvarno autentični,

you'd have to be really true to yourself

da biste trebali biti stvarno iskreni prema sebi

in order to get through what you're being exposed to.

kako biste prošli ono čemu biste bili izloženi.

I'd like to pause my TEDTalk

Sada bih želio zastati sa svojim TED govorom

for about 10 seconds right now,

na oko 10 sekundi,

because you don't get many opportunities in life to do something like this,

jer u životu ne dobijete puno prilika da učinite nešto poput ovog,

and my parents are sitting in the front row.

a moji roditelji sjede u prvom redu.

So I wanted to ask them to, if they don't mind, stand up.

Želio sam ih zamoliti da, ako im to ne smeta, ustanu.

And I just wanted to say thank you to you guys.

I samo vam želim reći "Hvala!"

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

When I was growing up, my dad used to love telling the story

Dok sam odrastao, moj tata je volio pričati priču

of his first day in Canada.

o svom prvom danu u Kanadi.

And it's a great story, because what happened was

To je izvrsna priča, jer se dogodilo to

he got off the plane at the Toronto airport,

da je sišao s aviona na aerodromu u Torontu

and he was welcomed by a non-profit group,

i dočekala ga je neprofitna grupa

which I'm sure someone in this room runs.

za koju sam siguran da je vodi netko u ovoj prostoriji.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And this non-profit group had a big welcoming lunch

Ta neprofitna udruga organizirala je veliki ručak dobrodošlice

for all the new immigrants to Canada.

za sve nove useljenike u Kanadu.

And my dad says he got off the plane and he went to this lunch

Moj tata kaže da je sišao s aviona i otišao na taj ručak

and there was this huge spread.

i tamo je bio taj ogromni stol s hranom.

There was bread, there was those little, mini dill pickles,

Bilo je kruha, bilo je onih malih, mini krastavaca,

there was olives, those little white onions.

bilo je maslina, onog malog bijelog luka.

There was rolled up turkey cold cuts,

Bilo je narezaka od puretine,

rolled up ham cold cuts, rolled up roast beef cold cuts

narezaka od šunke, narezaka od pečene govedine

and little cubes of cheese.

i malih kockica sira.

There was tuna salad sandwiches and egg salad sandwiches

Bili su sendviči sa salatom od tune, salatom od jaja

and salmon salad sandwiches.

i salatom od lososa.

There was lasagna, there was casseroles,

Bilo je lazanja, složenaca,

there was brownies, there was butter tarts,

bilo je čokoladnih kolača, bilo je kolača s putrom

and there was pies, lots and lots of pies.

i bilo je pita, mnogo pita.

And when my dad tells the story, he says,

Kad moj tata priča ovu priču, on kaže:

"The craziest thing was, I'd never seen any of that before, except bread.

"Najluđa stvar je bila ta da ništa od toga nikad prije nisam vidio, osim kruha."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I didn't know what was meat, what was vegetarian.

Nisam znao što je bilo meso, a što vegetarijansko;

I was eating olives with pie.

jeo sam masline s pitom."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I just couldn't believe how many things you can get here."

"Jednostavno nisam mogao vjerovati koliko stvari možeš tu dobiti."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

When I was five years old,

Kad sam imao pet godina

my dad used to take me grocery shopping,

tata me često vodio u kupnju namjernica.

and he would stare in wonder

I u čudu bi buljio

at the little stickers that are on the fruits and vegetables.

u male naljepnice na voću i povrću.

He would say, "Look, can you believe they have a mango here from Mexico?

Rekao bi: "Vidi, možeš li vjerovati da ovdje imaju mango iz Meksika?

They've got an apple here from South Africa.

Imaju jabuke iz Južne Afrike.

Can you believe they've got a date from Morocco?"

Možeš li vjerovati da imaju datulje iz Maroka?"

He's like, "Do you know where Morocco even is?"

"Znaš li uopće gdje je Maroko?"

And I'd say, "I'm five. I don't even know where I am.

A ja bih rekao: "Imam pet godina. Ne znam čak ni gdje sam ja.

Is this A&P?"

Je li ovo supermarket?"

And he'd say, "I don't know where Morocco is either, but let's find out."

On bi rekao: "Niti ja ne znam gdje je Maroko, ali idemo saznati."

And so we'd buy the date, and we'd go home.

Tako bismo kupili datulje i otišli kući.

And we'd actually take an atlas off the shelf,

Zaista bismo uzeli atlas s police

and we'd flip through until we found this mysterious country.

i listali ga sve dok nismo pronašli tu tajnovitu zemlju.

And when we did, my dad would say,

Kad bismo je našli, moja tata bi rekao:

"Can you believe someone climbed a tree over there,

"Možeš li vjerovati da se netko tamo popeo na drvo,

picked this thing off it, put it in a truck,

ubrao tu stvar, stavio ju u kamion,

drove it all the way to the docks

odvezao ju skroz do dokova,

and then sailed it all the way

a zatim plovio cijelim putem

across the Atlantic Ocean

preko Atlantskog oceana,

and then put it in another truck

zatim to stavio u drugi kamion

and drove that all the way to a tiny grocery store just outside our house,

i odvezao skroz do male trgovine upravo pred našom kućom,

so they could sell it to us for 25 cents?"

da bi nam to prodao za 25 centa?"

And I'd say, "I don't believe that."

Ja bih rekao: "Ne vjerujem u to."

And he's like, "I don't believe it either.

A on: "Ni ja ne vjerujem.

Things are amazing. There's just so many things to be happy about."

Stvari su nevjerojatne. Ima toliko puno stvari za veseliti se."

When I stop to think about it, he's absolutely right.

Kada zastanem i razmislim o tome, u potpunosti je u pravu;

There are so many things to be happy about.

postoji toliko puno stvari za veseliti se.

We are the only species

Mi smo jedina vrsta

on the only life-giving rock

na jedinoj stijeni koja daje život

in the entire universe that we've ever seen,

u cijelom svemiru kojeg smo ikad vidjeli,

capable of experiencing

sposobna iskusiti

so many of these things.

toliko tih stvari.

I mean, we're the only ones with architecture and agriculture.

Mislim, mi smo jedini s arhitekturom i poljoprivredom.

We're the only ones with jewelry and democracy.

Mi smo jedini s nakitom i demokracijom.

We've got airplanes, highway lanes,

Imamo avione, auto-ceste,

interior design and horoscope signs.

dizajn interijera i horoskopske znakove.

We've got fashion magazines, house party scenes.

Imamo modne časopise, kućne zabave.

You can watch a horror movie with monsters.

Možete gledati horror film sa čudovištima.

You can go to a concert and hear guitars jamming.

Možete otići na koncert i čuti nabijanje gitara.

We've got books, buffets and radio waves,

Imamo knjige, postavljene stolove za goste i radio valove,

wedding brides and rollercoaster rides.

mlade na vjenčanju i vožnje na vrtuljku.

You can sleep in clean sheets.

Možete spavati na čistim plahtama.

You can go to the movies and get good seats.

Možete ići u kino i dobiti dobra sjedala.

You can smell bakery air, walk around with rain hair,

Možete osjetiti miris peciva u zraku, šetati po kiši mokre kose,

pop bubble wrap or take an illegal nap.

pucketati omot sa mjehurićima ili ilegalno zadrijemati.

We've got all that,

Imamo sve to,

but we've only got 100 years to enjoy it.

ali imamo samo 100 godina da u tome uživamo.

And that's the sad part.

To je tužan dio.

The cashiers at your grocery store,

Blagajnici u vašoj trgovini,

the foreman at your plant,

šef u vašoj tvornici,

the guy tailgating you home on the highway,

tip koji se vozi preblizu iza vas na autocesti na putu kući,

the telemarketer calling you during dinner,

telefonski prodavač koji vas nazove za vrijeme večere,

every teacher you've ever had,

svaki učitelj kog ste ikada imali,

everyone that's ever woken up beside you,

svatko kraj koga ste se ikada probudili,

every politician in every country,

svaki političar u svakoj zemlji,

every actor in every movie,

svaki glumac u svakom filmu,

every single person in your family, everyone you love,

svaka pojedina osoba u vašoj obitelji, svatko koga volite,

everyone in this room and you

svatko u ovoj sobi i vi

will be dead in a hundred years.

bit ćete mrtvi za manje od stotinu godina.

Life is so great that we only get such a short time

Život je tako sjajan, a mi imamo tako malo vremena

to experience and enjoy

da iskusimo i uživamo

all those tiny little moments that make it so sweet.

u svim tim malim trenucima koji ga čine tako slatkim.

And that moment is right now,

A taj trenutak je upravo sada,

and those moments are counting down,

i ti se trenuci odbrojavaju,

and those moments are always, always, always fleeting.

i ti trenuci uvijek, uvijek brzo prolaze.

You will never be as young as you are right now.

Nikad nećete biti tako mladi kao što ste upravo sada.

And that's why I believe that if you live your life

I zato vjerujem da, ako živite svoj život

with a great attitude,

s izvrsnim stavom,

choosing to move forward and move on

ako birate ići naprijed i nastaviti

whenever life deals you a blow,

kad god vas život obori,

living with a sense of awareness of the world around you,

ako živite s osjećajem svjesnosti o svijetu oko sebe,

embracing your inner three year-old

ako prihvaćate svog unutarnjeg trogodišnjaka

and seeing the tiny joys that make life so sweet

i vidite sitne radosti koje život čine tako slatkim

and being authentic to yourself,

i autentični ste sami sebi,

being you and being cool with that,

tako što ste svoji i s tim ste u redu,

letting your heart lead you and putting yourself in experiences that satisfy you,

ako puštate da vas vodi srce i stavljate se u situacije koje vas zadovoljavaju,

then I think you'll live a life

tada mislim da ćete živjeti život

that is rich and is satisfying,

koji je bogat i koji vas zadovoljava,

and I think you'll live a life that is truly awesome.

i mislim da živite život koji je istinski fenomenalan,

Thank you.

Hvala vam.
