How to tie your shoes | Terry Moore

Prevoditelj: Tilen Pigac - EFZG Recezent: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG

I'm used to thinking of the TED audience

Naučen sam da mislim o TED publici kao prekrasnoj zbirci

as a wonderful collection of some of the most effective,

najučinkovitijih, inteligentnih,

intelligent, intellectual, savvy,

intelektualnih, razumnih,

worldly and innovative people in the world.

svjetskih i inovativnih ljudi na svijetu.

And I think that's true.

I mislim kako je to istina.

However, I also have reason to believe that many, if not most, of you

Kakogod, isto tako imam razlog vjerovati

da mnogi, ako ne i većina vas

are actually tying your shoes incorrectly.

neispravno veže svoje cipele.

(Smijeh)

(Laughter)

Now I know that seems ludicrous.

Znam da vam se to čini smiješnim.

Znam da se to čini smiješno.

I know that seems ludicrous.

And believe me, I lived the same sad life until about three years ago.

I vjerujte mi, ja sam živio isti tužan život

sve do prije tri godine.

And what happened to me

A ono što mi se dogodilo je

was I bought, what was for me, a very expensive pair of shoes.

da sam kupio, za mene, jako skup par cipela.

But those shoes came with round nylon laces,

I te cipele su došle u paketu s okruglim vezicama od najlona,

and I couldn't keep them tied.

i nisam ih mogao zadržati zavezanima.

So I went back to the store and said to the owner,

Stoga sam otišao natrag do trgovine i rekao sam vlasniku,

"I love the shoes, but I hate the laces."

"volim cipele, ali mrzim vezice."

He took a look and said, "Oh, you're tying them wrong."

Pogledao je i rekao, "O, ne vežete ih ispravno."

Dakle, sve do tog trenutka,

Now up until that moment,

I would have thought that, by age 50,

pomislio bih kako je, do 50. godine,

one of the life skills that I had really nailed

jedna od vještina koju sam uistinu savladao

was tying my shoes.

bila vezanje cipela.

(Laughter)

But not so -- let me demonstrate.

Ali čini se da nije tako -- dopustite da vam demonstriram.

Ovo je način

This is the way

koji je većina nas naučila za vezanje cipela.

that most of us were taught to tie our shoes.

Now as it turns out -- thank you.

Sada, ispostavlja se -- hvala vam.

(Applause)

Wait, there's more.

Čekajte, ima još.

As it turns out --

Ispostavlja se,

(Laughter)

there's a strong form and a weak form of this knot,

kako postoji snažan oblik i slab oblik ovog čvora,

a mi smo naučeni da vežemo slab oblik.

and we were taught the weak form.

And here's how to tell.

A ovako to možete saznati.

If you pull the strands at the base of the knot,

Ako povučete krajeve na podnožju čvora,

you will see that the bow will orient itself

vidjet ćete kako će se luk orijentirati

down the long axis of the shoe.

prema dugačkoj osi cipele.

That's the weak form of the knot.

To je slab oblik čvora.

But not to worry.

Ali ne brinite.

If we start over

Ako počnemo ispočetka

and simply go the other direction around the bow,

i jednostavno odemo u drugom smjeru

oko luka,

dobijemo ovo, snažan oblik čvora.

we get this, the strong form of the knot.

I ako povučete vrpce ispod čvora,

And if you pull the cords under the knot,

you will see that the bow orients itself

vidjet ćete kako se luk orijentira

uzduž poprečne osi cipele.

along the transverse axis of the shoe.

This is a stronger knot.

Ovo je snažniji čvor. Rjeđe će se razvezati.

It will come untied less often.

Rjeđe će vas ostaviti na cjedilu.

It will let you down less, and not only that, it looks better.

I ne samo to, izgleda bolje.

We're going to do this one more time.

Napravit ćemo ovo još jednom.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

Počnite normalno,

Start as usual --

(Applause)

go the other way around the loop.

idite u suprotnom smjeru oko petlje.

This is a little hard for children,

Ovo je malo teže za djecu,

but I think you can handle it.

ali mislim kako vi to možete savladati.

Pull the knot.

Povucite čvor.

There it is: the strong form of the shoe knot.

Evo ga: snažan oblik čvora za cipele.

Now, in keeping with today's theme,

Sada, u duhu današnje teme,

I'd like to point out -- something you already know --

volio bih naglasiti -- nešto što već znate --

that sometimes a small advantage someplace in life

kako nekad malen napredak

negdje u životu

can yield tremendous results someplace else.

može polučiti ogormne rezultate negdje drugdje.

(Laughter)

Live long and prosper.

Živite dugo i uspješno.

(Applause)
