00:12
So, I don't like to boast,
0
12760
2920
Dakle, ne volim da se hvalim,
00:15
but I am very good at finding things to be annoyed about.
1
15719
5537
ali strašno sam dobar u pronalaženju razloga za nerviranje.
00:21
It is a real specialty of mine.
2
21280
2096
To je moja istinska specijalnost.
00:23
I can hear 100 compliments and a single insult,
3
23400
3896
Mogu da čujem 100 komplimenata i samo jednu uvredu,
00:27
and what do I remember?
4
27320
1496
i šta ću da upamtim?
00:28
The insult.
5
28840
1376
Uvredu.
00:30
And according to the research, I'm not alone.
6
30240
2696
A prema istraživanjima, nisam usamljen.
00:32
Unfortunately, the human brain is wired to focus on the negative.
7
32960
5536
Nažalost, ljudski mozak je podešen da se usredsređuje na loše stvari.
00:38
Now, this might have been helpful when we were cave people,
8
38520
3336
Ovo je možda bilo od pomoći kada smo bili pećinski ljudi,
00:41
trying to avoid predators,
9
41880
1856
koji pokušavaju da izbegnu grabljivice,
00:43
but now it's a terrible way to go through life.
10
43760
2696
ali sada se radi o groznom načinu da se ide kroz život.
00:46
It is a real major component of anxiety and depression.
11
46480
6456
To je istinski sastavni deo anksioznosti i depresije.
00:52
So how can we fight the brain's negative bias?
12
52960
4056
Pa kako možemo da se suprotstavimo sklonosti mozga ka pesimizmu?
00:57
According to a lot of research, one of the best weapons is gratitude.
13
57040
5320
Prema mnogim istraživanjima, jedno od najboljih oružja je zahvalnost.
01:03
So knowing this, I started a new tradition in our house a couple of years ago.
14
63080
5016
Saznavši to, započeo sam novu tradiciju u svojoj kući pre nekoliko godina.
01:08
Before a meal with my wife and kids,
15
68120
2456
Pre obroka bih sa suprugom i decom
01:10
I would say a prayer of thanksgiving.
16
70600
2840
izgovorio molitvu zahvalnosti.
01:14
Prayer is not quite the right word.
17
74560
1816
Molitva baš i nije prava reč.
01:16
I'm agnostic, so instead of thanking God,
18
76400
4696
Ja sam agnostik, pa sam se umesto zahvaljivanja bogu,
01:21
I would thank some of the people who helped make my food a reality.
19
81120
4336
zahvaljivao nekim ljudima koji su pomogli u tome da moja hrana postoji.
01:25
I'd say, "I'd like to thank the farmer who grew these tomatoes,
20
85480
4336
Rekao bih: „Želim da se zahvalim seljaku koji je uzgojio ovaj krompir
01:29
and the trucker who drove these tomatoes to the store,
21
89840
2696
i kamiondžiji koji je prevezao ovaj krompir do prodavnice
01:32
and the cashier who rang these tomatoes up."
22
92560
2856
i kasirki koja je naplatila ovaj krompir.“
01:35
And I thought it was going pretty well, this tradition.
23
95440
2600
I smatrao sam da ova tradicija ide sasvim dobro.
01:39
Then one day, my 10-year-old son said,
24
99040
2536
Onda mi je jednog dana moj 10-godišnji sin rekao:
01:41
"You know, Dad, those people aren't in our apartment.
25
101600
3336
„Znaš, tata, ti ljudi nisu u našem stanu.
01:44
They can't hear you.
26
104960
1216
Ne mogu da te čuju.
01:46
If you really cared, you would go and thank them in person."
27
106200
4056
Da ti je zaista stalo, otišao bi i zahvalio bi im se lično.“
01:50
And I thought, "Hmm. That's an interesting idea."
28
110280
3176
Pomislio sam: „Hm, to je zanimljiva ideja.“
01:53
(Laughter)
29
113480
1296
(Smeh)
01:54
Now I'm a writer, and for my books I like to go on adventures.
30
114800
5056
E sad, pisac sam i zbog svojih knjiga volim da idem u avanture.
01:59
Go on quests.
31
119880
1416
Idem u pohode.
02:01
So I decided I'm going to take my son up on his challenge.
32
121320
4056
Pa sam odlučio da ću da prihvatim sinovljev izazov.
02:05
It seemed simple enough.
33
125400
1696
Činio se dosta prostim.
02:07
And to make it even simpler,
34
127120
1856
A da bih ga dodatno uprostio,
02:09
I decided to focus on just one item.
35
129000
3496
odlučio sam da se usredsredim na samo jednu namirnicu.
02:12
An item I can't live without:
36
132520
1816
Namirnicu bez koje ne mogu da živim:
02:14
my morning cup of coffee.
37
134360
1640
moju jutarnju šoljicu kafe.
02:16
Well, it turned out to be not so simple at all.
38
136840
3216
Pa, ispostavilo se da uopše nije prosto.
02:20
(Laughter)
39
140080
1016
(Smeh)
02:21
This quest took me months.
40
141120
1615
Ovaj pohod je potrajao mesecima.
02:22
It took me around the world.
41
142759
2457
Odveo me je na put oko sveta.
02:25
Because I discovered that my coffee would not be possible
42
145240
5456
Jer sam otkrio da moja kafa ne bi bila moguća
02:30
without hundreds of people I take for granted.
43
150720
3056
bez stotina ljudi koje uzimam zdravo za gotovo.
02:33
So I would thank the trucker
44
153800
1896
Pa bih zahvalio kamiondžiji
02:35
who drove the coffee beans to the coffee shop.
45
155720
2696
koji je dovezao zrna kafe u kafedžinicu.
02:38
But he couldn't have done his job without the road.
46
158440
3296
Ali on ne bi obavio taj posao da nema puta.
02:41
So I would thank the people who paved the road.
47
161760
2896
Pa bih zahvalio ljudima koji su asfaltirali put.
02:44
(Laughter)
48
164680
1096
(Smeh)
02:45
And then I would thank the people who made the asphalt for the pavement.
49
165800
5016
A onda bih zahvalio ljudima koji su napravili asfalt za pločnik.
02:50
And I came to realize that my coffee,
50
170840
4056
A uvideo sam da moja kafa,
02:54
like so much else in the world,
51
174920
2056
poput većine ostalog u svetu,
02:57
requires the combined work
52
177000
2496
zahteva kombinovani rad
02:59
of a shocking number of people from all walks of life.
53
179520
3576
zapanjujuće velikog broja ljudi iz raznih oblasti života.
03:03
Architects, biologists, designers, miners, goat herds,
54
183120
5776
Arhitekata, biologa, dizajnera, rudara, kozara,
03:08
you name it.
55
188920
1496
koga sve ne.
03:10
I decided to call my project
56
190440
2256
Odlučio sam da naslovim projekat:
03:12
"Thanks a Thousand."
57
192720
1976
„Hiljadu hvala“.
03:14
Because I ended up thanking over a thousand people.
58
194720
2760
Jer sam na kraju zahvalio više od hiljadu ljudi.
03:18
And it was overwhelming, but it was also wonderful.
59
198400
3576
I to je bilo iscrpljujuće, ali je bilo i čarobno.
03:22
Because it allowed me to focus
60
202000
2256
Jer mi je mogućilo da se usredsredim
03:24
on the hundreds of things that go right every day,
61
204280
3336
na stotine stvari koje se odvijaju kako treba svakodnevno,
03:27
as opposed to the three or four that go wrong.
62
207640
2736
nasuprot tri ili četiri stvari koje krenu po zlu.
03:30
And it reminded me of the astounding interconnectedness or our world.
63
210400
6216
A to me je podsetilo na zapanjujuću isprepletanost našeg sveta.
03:36
I learned dozens of lessons during this project,
64
216640
3856
Naučio sam desetine lekcija tokom ovog projekta,
03:40
but let me just focus on five today.
65
220520
2896
ali danas ću da se usredsredim samo na pet njih.
03:43
The first is: look up.
66
223440
2896
Prva je: podignite pogled.
03:46
I started my trail of gratitude
67
226360
2016
Započeo sam stazu zahvalnosti
03:48
by thanking the barista at my local coffee shop,
68
228400
3296
zahvaljujući se kafedžinki u mojoj lokalnoj kafedžinici,
03:51
Joe Coffee in New York.
69
231720
1656
"Džo kofi" u Njujorku.
03:53
Her name is Chung,
70
233400
1696
Zove se Čang
03:55
and Chung is one of the most upbeat people you will ever meet.
71
235120
4736
i Čang je jedna od najveselijih ljudi koje sam upoznao.
03:59
Big smiler, enthusiastic hugger.
72
239880
3336
Široki osmeh, uvek spremna za zagrljaj.
04:03
But even for Chung, being a barista is hard.
73
243240
3496
Međutim, čak je i Čang teško da bude kafedžinka.
04:06
And that's because you are encountering people in a very dangerous state.
74
246760
4896
A to je zato što se susrećete sa ljudima u najopasnijem stanju.
04:11
(Laughter)
75
251680
1256
(Smeh)
04:12
You know what it is -- precaffeination.
76
252960
2736
Znate koje je to stanje - pretkafeinsko.
04:15
(Laughter)
77
255720
2136
(Smeh)
04:17
So, Chung has had people yell at her until she cried,
78
257880
3736
Na Čang su ljudi vikali sve dok bi zaplakala,
04:21
including a nine-year-old girl,
79
261640
2016
uključujući devetogodišnjakinju kojoj se nije svidela šara od šlaga
04:23
who didn't like the whipped cream design that Chung did on her hot chocolate.
80
263680
4256
koju je Čang napravila na njenoj toploj čokoladi.
04:27
So I thanked Chung,
81
267960
2896
Pa sam se zahvalio Čang,
04:30
and she thanked me for thanking her.
82
270880
3175
a ona se zahvalila meni što joj zahvaljujem.
04:34
I cut it off there.
83
274079
1257
Presekao sam sve tu.
04:35
I didn't want to go into an infinite thanking loop.
84
275360
2416
Ne želeći da upadnem u beskrajnu petlju zahvaljivanja.
04:37
(Laughter)
85
277800
1576
(Smeh)
04:39
But Chung said that the hardest part
86
279400
3736
Međutim, Čang je rekla da je najteži deo
04:43
is when people don't even treat her like a human being.
87
283160
3496
taj kada se ljudi ni ne ophode prema njoj kao da je ljudsko biće.
04:46
They treat her like a vending machine.
88
286680
1856
Tretiraju je kao aparat za napitke.
04:48
So, they'll hand her their credit card
89
288560
2496
Dakle, predaju joj kreditnu karticu,
04:51
without even looking up from their phone.
90
291080
2816
a da ni ne podignu pogled sa svog telefona.
04:53
And while she's saying this, I'm realizing I've done that.
91
293920
4816
I dok je ovo izgovarala, shvatio sam da sam i ja to radio.
04:58
I've been that a-hole.
92
298760
1856
Bio sam taj šupak.
05:00
And at that moment, I pledged:
93
300640
2936
I u tom sam se trenutku zavetovao:
05:03
when dealing with people, I'm going to take those two seconds
94
303600
3296
kada radim s ljudima, izdvojiću te dve sekunde
05:06
and look at them, make eye contact.
95
306920
2856
i pogledati u njih, ostvariću kontakt očima.
05:09
Because it reminds you, you're dealing with a human being
96
309800
2856
Jer vas to podseća da ste u dodiru sa ljudskim bićima
05:12
who has family and aspirations
97
312680
3736
koja imaju porodicu i težnje
05:16
and embarrassing high school memories.
98
316440
2576
kao i sramotna sećanja iz srednje škole.
05:19
And that little moment of connection
99
319040
3056
A taj kratki trenutak povezanosti
05:22
is so important to both people's humanity and happiness.
100
322120
4696
je toliko važan i za ljudsku čovečnost i za sreću.
05:26
Alright, second lesson was:
101
326840
1776
U redu, druga lekcija je:
05:28
smell the roses. And the dirt. And the fertilizer.
102
328640
4736
pomirišite ruže. I zemlju. I đubrivo.
05:33
After Chung, I thanked this man.
103
333400
2736
Posle Čang, zahvalio sam se ovom čoveku.
05:36
This is Ed Kaufmann.
104
336160
1856
Ovo je Ed Kofman.
05:38
And Ed is the one who chooses which coffee they serve at my local coffee shop.
105
338040
5536
A Ed je taj koji bira koju će kafu da služe u mojoj lokalnoj kafedžinici.
05:43
He goes around the world, to South America, to Africa,
106
343600
3656
On putuje širom sveta, do Južne Amerike, do Afrike,
05:47
finding the best coffee beans.
107
347280
1816
tragajući za najboljim zrnima kafe.
05:49
So I thanked Ed.
108
349120
1416
Pa sam zahvalio Edu.
05:50
And in return, Ed showed me how to taste coffee like a pro.
109
350560
5776
A zauzvrat, Ed mi je pokazao kako da degustiram kafu kao profesionalac.
05:56
And it is quite a ritual.
110
356360
1936
A to je pravi ritual.
05:58
You take your spoon and you dip it in the coffee
111
358320
2256
Uzmete kašiku i umočite je u kafu,
06:00
and then you take a big, loud slurp.
112
360600
2776
a potom napravite veliki, glasan srk.
06:03
Almost cartoonishly loud.
113
363400
1936
Gotovo karikaturalno glasno.
06:05
This is because you want to spray the coffee all over your mouth.
114
365360
3296
Radite to da biste raspršili kafu svuda po vašim ustima.
06:08
You have taste buds in the side of your cheeks,
115
368680
3136
Imate receptore ukusa u unutrašnjosti obraza,
06:11
in the roof of your mouth,
116
371840
1416
na nepcu,
06:13
you've got to get them all.
117
373280
1536
morate sve da ih aktivirate.
06:14
So Ed would do this
118
374840
2736
Dakle, Ed bi ovo uradio
06:17
and he would --
119
377600
2496
i on bi -
06:20
his face would light up and he would say,
120
380120
2696
lice bi mu se ozarilo i rekao bi:
06:22
"This coffee tastes of Honeycrisp apple
121
382840
3976
„Ova kafa ima ukus jabuka hanikrisp,
06:26
and notes of soil and maple syrup."
122
386840
3536
notu zemljišta i javorovog sirupa.“
06:30
And I would take a sip and I'd say,
123
390400
2616
A ja bih uzeo gutljaj i rekao:
06:33
"I'm picking up coffee.
124
393040
2736
„Prepoznajem kafu.
06:35
(Laughter)
125
395800
1816
(Smeh)
06:37
It tastes to me like coffee."
126
397640
1856
Meni ima ukus kafe.“
06:39
(Laughter)
127
399520
2016
(Smeh)
06:41
But inspired by Ed, I decided to really
128
401560
2936
No, inspirisan Edom, odlučio sam
06:44
let the coffee sit on my tongue for five seconds --
129
404520
3136
da mi kafa zaista zastane na jeziku na pet sekundi -
06:47
we're all busy, but I could spare five seconds,
130
407680
2216
svi smo mi zauzeti, ali mogu da odvojim pet sekundi
06:49
and really think about the texture and the acidity and the sweetness.
131
409920
6536
i da zaista razmislim o teksturi, kiselosti i slatkoći.
06:56
And I started to do it with other foods.
132
416480
2336
Počeo sam tako da postupam i sa ostalom hranom.
06:58
And this idea of savoring is so important to gratitude.
133
418840
5656
A ova ideja naslađivanja je tako važna za zahvalnost.
07:04
Psychologists talk about how gratitude
134
424520
3336
Psiholozi govore o tome kako se kod zahvalnosti radi
07:07
is about taking a moment and holding on to it as long as possible.
135
427880
5336
o uzimanju jednog trenutka i držanju za njega koliko god je to moguće.
07:13
And slowing down time.
136
433240
3656
Kao i o usporavanju vremena.
07:16
So that life doesn't go by in one big blur, as it often does.
137
436920
4776
Kako život ne bi prošao u jednoj velikoj izmaglici, kao što to obično biva.
07:21
Number three is:
138
441720
1456
Broj tri je:
07:23
find the hidden masterpieces all around you.
139
443200
2976
pronađite skrivena remek-dela svuda oko vas.
07:26
Now, one of my favorite conversations during this year
140
446200
2896
Jedan od omiljenih razgovora ove godine
07:29
was with the guy who invented my coffee cup lid.
141
449120
4456
vodio sam sa čovekom koji je izumeo poklopac na mojoj čaši za kafu.
07:33
And until this point,
142
453600
1656
I do tog momenta,
07:35
I had given approximately zero thought to coffee cup lids.
143
455280
4176
poklopcima za kafu nisam posvetio niti jednu misao.
07:39
But I loved talking to this inventor, Doug Fleming,
144
459480
3256
Međutim, svidelo mi se da razgovaram sa izumiteljem Dagom Flemingom
07:42
because he was so passionate.
145
462760
1856
jer je bio toliko strastven.
07:44
And the blood and sweat and tears he put into this lid,
146
464640
3976
I sva krv, znoj i suze koje je potrošio na ovaj poklopac,
07:48
and that I had never even considered.
147
468640
3296
kome nikad nisam posvetio pažnju.
07:51
He says a bad lid can ruin your coffee.
148
471960
2856
Kaže kako loš poklopac može da vam pokvari kafu.
07:54
That it can block the aroma,
149
474840
1936
Da može da blokira aromu,
07:56
which is so important to the experience.
150
476800
2256
koja je toliko važna za doživljaj.
07:59
So he -- he's very innovative.
151
479080
2536
Dakle, on je veoma inventivan.
08:01
He's like the Elon Musk of coffee lids.
152
481640
2056
On je poput Ilona Maska za poklopce za kafu.
08:03
(Laughter)
153
483720
1016
(Smeh)
08:04
So he designed this lid that's got an upside-down hexagon
154
484760
4216
Pa je dizajnirao ovaj poklopac koji sadrži izvrnuti heksagon
08:09
so you can get your nose right in there and get maximum aroma.
155
489000
3976
da biste mogli da smestite nos tačno tu i izvučete maksimum iz arome.
08:13
And so I was delighted talking to him,
156
493000
3656
Dakle, očarao me je razgovor s njim,
08:16
and it made me realize there are hundreds of masterpieces all around us
157
496680
4616
i naveo me je da shvatim da svuda oko nas ima na stotine remek-dela
08:21
that we totally take for granted.
158
501320
1736
koja uzimamo zdravo za gotovo.
08:23
Like the on-off switch on my desk lamp has a little indentation for my thumb
159
503080
6456
Kao što prekidač na mojoj stonoj lampi ima maleno ulegnuće za moj palac
08:29
that perfectly fits my thumb.
160
509560
1776
koje savršeno paše mom palcu.
08:31
And when something is done well,
161
511360
3216
A kada je nešto odrađeno kako treba,
08:34
the process behind it is largely invisible.
162
514600
3256
procedura iza toga je uglavnom nevidljiva.
08:37
But paying attention to it
163
517880
2216
Međutim, obraćanje pažnje na to
08:40
can tap into that sense of wonder and enrich our lives.
164
520120
4216
može da pokrene osećaj divljenja i da nam obogati živote.
08:44
Number four is: fake it till you feel it.
165
524360
2976
Broj četiri je: foliraj se dok ne osetiš.
08:47
By the end of the project, I was just in a thanking frenzy.
166
527360
3936
Do kraja projekta bio sam prosto u transu od zahvaljivanja.
08:51
So I was -- I would get up and spend a couple hours,
167
531320
3176
Ustao bih i proveo nekoliko sati
08:54
I'd write emails, send notes,
168
534520
3856
pišući imejlove, šaljući poruke,
08:58
make phone calls, visit people
169
538400
2536
obavljajući telefonske razgovore, posećujući ljude
09:00
to thank them for their role in my coffee.
170
540960
2176
u znak zahvalnosti na njihovom udelu u mojoj kafi.
09:03
And some of them, quite honestly --
171
543160
2256
A neki od njih, biću krajnje iskren -
09:05
not that into it.
172
545440
1856
nisu bili zainteresovani.
09:07
They would be like, "What is this?
173
547320
2256
Bili su u fazonu: „Šta je ovo?
09:09
Is this a pyramid scheme, what do you want, what are you selling?"
174
549600
4160
Da li je to piramidalna shema, šta želiš, šta prodaješ?“
09:14
But most people were surprisingly moved.
175
554560
4256
Međutim, mnogi ljudi su bili iznenađujuće dirnuti.
09:18
I remember, I called the woman who does the pest control
176
558840
3776
Sećam se, nazvao sam ženu koja se bavi suzbijanjem štetočina
09:22
for the warehouse where my coffee is served --
177
562640
3176
u magacinu gde se služi moja kafa -
09:25
I'm sorry -- where my coffee is stored.
178
565840
2576
izvinjavam se - gde se skladišti moja kafa.
09:28
And I said,
179
568440
2456
A rekao sam:
09:30
"This may sound strange,
180
570920
1496
„Ovo će možda da zvuči čudno,
09:32
but I want to thank you for keeping the bugs out of my coffee."
181
572440
4376
ali želim da vam zahvalim što držite bube podalje od moje kafe.“
09:36
And she said, "Well, that does sound strange,
182
576840
2616
A ona je rekla: „Pa da, to zvuči čudno,
09:39
but you just made my day."
183
579480
2096
ali upravo si mi ulepšao dan.“
09:41
And it was like an anti-crank phone call.
184
581600
3576
To je bio anti-zezatorski telefonski poziv.
09:45
And it didn't just affect her, it affected me.
185
585200
3376
I nije samo uticao na nju, uticao je i na mene.
09:48
Because I would wake up every morning in my default mood, which is grumpiness,
186
588600
5976
Jer bih se probudio svako jutro u osnovnom raspoloženju, a to je mrzovolja,
09:54
but I would force myself to write a thank-you note
187
594600
3256
ali bih se naterao da napišem zahvalnicu,
09:57
and then another and then another.
188
597880
2096
a potom još jednu, pa još jednu.
10:00
And what I found was that if you act as if you're grateful,
189
600000
4816
A otkrio sam da, ako se ponašate kao da ste zahvalni,
10:04
you eventually become grateful for real.
190
604840
3016
vremenom stvarno postanete zahvalni.
10:07
The power of our actions to change our mind is astounding.
191
607880
4896
Moć našeg delanja da promeni naš um je zapanjujuća.
10:12
So, often we think that thought changes behavior,
192
612800
4056
Dakle, često smatramo da misao menja ponašanje,
10:16
but behavior very often changes our thought.
193
616880
4200
ali ponašanje veoma često menja naše razmišljanje.
10:22
And finally, the last lesson I want to tell you about is:
194
622720
4456
I naposletku, poslednja lekcija o kojoj želim da vam govorim je sledeća:
10:27
practice six degrees of gratitude.
195
627200
3416
vežbajte šest stepeni zahvalnosti.
10:30
And every place, every stop on this gratitude trail
196
630640
4576
A svako mesto, svaka stanica na ovoj stazi zahvalnosti
10:35
would give birth to 100 other people that I could thank.
197
635240
3896
bi iznedrili stotinu drugih ljudi kojima bih mogao da zahvalim.
10:39
So I went down to Colombia to thank the farmers who grow my coffee beans.
198
639160
5256
Otišao sam u Kolumbiju da bih zahvalio farmerima koji uzgajaju moju kafu.
10:44
And it was in a small mountain town,
199
644440
2216
A to se dešava u malom planinskom gradu
10:46
and I was driven there along these curvy, cliffside roads.
200
646680
5176
i tamo sam se vozio krivudavim putevima na ivicama stena.
10:51
And every time we went around a hairpin turn
201
651880
3736
A svaki put kad bismo skrenuli iza oštre krivine,
10:55
the driver would do the sign of the cross.
202
655640
3656
vozač bi se prekrstio.
10:59
And I was like, "Thank you for that.
203
659320
2856
A ja bih bio u fazonu: „Hvala ti na tome.
11:02
(Laughter)
204
662200
1816
(Smeh)
11:04
But can you do that while keeping your hands on the wheel?
205
664040
3816
Ali možeš li to da radiš dok držiš ruke na volanu?
11:07
Because I am terrified."
206
667880
1576
Jer sam prestravljen.“
11:09
But we made it.
207
669480
1216
Međutim, stigli smo.
11:10
And I met the farmers, the Guarnizo brothers.
208
670720
3496
I upoznao sam farmere, braću Gvarniso.
11:14
It's a small farm, they make great coffee,
209
674240
3256
Radi se o maloj farmi, prave odličnu kafu,
11:17
they're paid above fair-trade prices for it.
210
677520
2896
plaćeni su iznad fer tržišne cene kafe.
11:20
And they showed me how the coffee is grown.
211
680440
3016
A oni su mi pokazali kako se uzgaja kafa.
11:23
The bean is actually inside this fruit called the coffee cherry.
212
683480
4576
Zrno se zapravo nalazi unutar voćke koja se naziva kafena bobica.
11:28
And I thanked them.
213
688080
2176
I ja sam im zahvalio.
11:30
And they said, "Well, we couldn't do our job
214
690280
3216
A oni su rekli: „Pa ne bismo mogli da obavljamo svoj posao
11:33
without 100 other people."
215
693520
2216
da nije stotinu drugih ljudi.“
11:35
The machine that depulps the fruit is made in Brazil,
216
695760
3856
Mašina koja razdvaja zrno od bobice se proizvodi u Brazilu,
11:39
and the pickup truck they drive around the farm,
217
699640
3056
a kombi koji voze po farmi
11:42
that is made from parts from all over the world.
218
702720
3416
je sačinjen od delova iz čitavog sveta.
11:46
In fact, the US exports steel to Colombia.
219
706160
4096
Zapravo, SAD izvoze čelik u Kolumbiju.
11:50
So I went to Indiana, and I thanked the steel makers.
220
710280
4976
Pa sam otišao u Indijanu i zahvalio se izrađivačima čelika.
11:55
And it just drove home
221
715280
3136
A to je samo istaklo činjenicu
11:58
that it doesn't take a village to make a cup of coffee.
222
718440
3576
da nije potrebno selo da se proizvede šoljica kafe.
12:02
It takes the world to make a cup of coffee.
223
722040
3136
Potreban je celi svet da se proizvede šoljica kafe.
12:05
And this global economy, this globalization,
224
725200
5096
A ova globalna ekonomija, ova globalizacija,
12:10
it does have downsides.
225
730320
1816
ima svoje loše strane.
12:12
But I believe the long-term upsides are far greater,
226
732160
3456
Međutim, verujem da su dugoročno dobre strane daleko veće,
12:15
that progress is real.
227
735640
1576
da je napredak stvaran.
12:17
We have made improvements in the last 50 years,
228
737240
2416
Postigli smo napredak u poslednjih 50 godina,
12:19
poverty worldwide has gone down.
229
739680
2696
siromaštvo širom sveta je umanjeno.
12:22
And that we should resist the temptation
230
742400
3256
I trebalo bi da se odupremo iskušenju
12:25
to retreat into our silos.
231
745680
3016
da se povlačimo u naše tabore.
12:28
And we should resist this upsurge
232
748720
3056
I trebalo bi da se odupremo nagonu
12:31
in isolationism and jingoism.
233
751800
4536
za izolacionizmom i ekstremnim nacionalizmom.
12:36
Which brings me to my final point.
234
756360
2376
Što me dovodi do moje poslednje tačke.
12:38
Which is my hope that we use gratitude as a spark to action.
235
758760
5600
A to je nada da ćemo da koristimo zahvalnost da pokrenemo delanje.
12:45
Some people worry that gratitude has a downside.
236
765360
3736
Neki ljudi brinu da zahvalnost ima svoje loše strane.
12:49
That we'll be so grateful, that we'll be complacent.
237
769120
3816
Da ćemo da budemo toliko zahvalni da ćemo da postanemo pomirljivi.
12:52
We'll be so, "Oh, everything's wonderful, I'm so grateful."
238
772960
3656
Da ćemo biti skroz: „Oh, sve je divno, tako sam zahvalan."
12:56
Well, it turns out, the opposite is true.
239
776640
3600
Pa, ispostavlja se da je suprotno tačno.
13:01
The research shows
240
781120
2296
Istraživanje pokazuje
13:03
that the more grateful you are, the more likely you are to help others.
241
783440
4656
da što ste zahvalniji, to ste skloniji da pomažete drugima.
13:08
When you're in a bad state,
242
788120
2056
Kada ste u lošem stanju,
13:10
you're often more focused on your own needs.
243
790200
2576
često ste usredsređeniji na lične potrebe.
13:12
But gratitude makes you want to pay it forward.
244
792800
3216
Međutim, zahvalnost vas podstiče da širite dobra dela.
13:16
And I experienced this personally.
245
796040
2416
A to sam lično iskusio.
13:18
I mean, I'm not Mother Teresa,
246
798480
1696
Mislim, nisam Majka Tereza,
13:20
I'm still a selfish bastard a huge amount of the time.
247
800200
3456
i dalje sam sebični gad većinu vremena.
13:23
But I'm better than I was before this project.
248
803680
3976
Međutim, bolji sam nego što sam bio pre ovog projekta.
13:27
And that's because it made me aware
249
807680
2736
A to je zato što sam postao svestan
13:30
of the exploitation on the supply chain.
250
810440
3576
eksploatacije u lancu nabavke.
13:34
It reminded me that what I take for granted
251
814040
2936
Podsetilo me je da ono što olako shvatam
13:37
is not available to millions of people around the world.
252
817000
3776
nije dostupno milionima ljudi širom sveta.
13:40
Like water.
253
820800
1256
Poput vode.
13:42
Coffee is 98.8 percent water.
254
822080
4296
Kafa je 98,8 procenata voda.
13:46
So I figured I should go and thank the people at the New York reservoir,
255
826400
3536
Shvatio sam da bi trebalo da se zahvalim ljudima u njujorškom vodovodu,
13:49
hundreds of them, who provide me water,
256
829960
2616
stotinama njih, koji mi dostavljaju vodu,
13:52
and this miracle that I can turn a lever and get safe water.
257
832600
3096
i ovom čudu da mogu da otvorim slavinu i dobijem bezbednu vodu.
13:55
And that millions of people around the world don't have this luxury
258
835720
3576
Kao i da milioni ljudi širom sveta nemaju taj luksuz
13:59
and have to walk hours to get safe water.
259
839320
2976
i moraju da hodaju satima da bi nabavili bezbednu vodu.
14:02
It inspired me to see what I could do to help people get more access,
260
842320
4696
Inspirisalo me je da pronađem načine da pomognem ljudima da imaju bolji pristup
14:07
and I did research and found a wonderful group
261
847040
3056
i uradio sam istraživanje i pronašao sjajnu grupu
14:10
called Dispensers for Safe Water.
262
850120
2656
pod nazivom Dispenzeri za bezbednu vodu.
14:12
And I got involved.
263
852800
1336
I priključio sam se.
14:14
And I'm not expecting the Nobel Prize committee
264
854160
2776
I ne očekujem da mi komitet za Nobelovu nagradu
14:16
to knock down my door,
265
856960
1256
pokuca na vrata,
14:18
but it's a baby step, it's a little something.
266
858240
4296
ali to su mali koraci, to je bar nešto.
14:22
And it's all because of gratitude.
267
862560
2816
A to je sve zbog zahvalnosti.
14:25
And it's why I encourage people, friends, family,
268
865400
3536
I to je razlog zašto podstičem ljude, prijatelje, porodicu
14:28
to follow gratitude trails of their own.
269
868960
2976
da prate sopstvene staze zahvalnosti.
14:31
Because it's a life-transforming experience.
270
871960
2816
Jer radi se o iskustvu koje menja život.
14:34
And it doesn't have to be coffee.
271
874800
1616
A ne mora da se radi o kafi.
14:36
It could be anything.
272
876440
1216
Može da bude bilo šta.
14:37
It could be a pair of socks, it could be a light bulb.
273
877680
2536
Može da bude par čarapa, može da bude sijalica.
14:40
And you don't have to go around the world, you can just do a little gesture,
274
880240
3576
I ne morate da idete širom sveta, možete da napravite male gestove,
14:43
like make eye contact or send a note to the designer of a logo you love.
275
883840
5136
poput pogleda u oči ili slanja poruke dizajneru loga koji vam se sviđa.
14:49
It's more about a mindset.
276
889000
1976
Više se radi o mentalnom sklopu.
14:51
Being aware of the thousands of people involved in every little thing we do.
277
891000
4480
O svesti da je na hiljadu ljudi uključeno u svaku sitnicu koju radimo.
14:56
Remembering that there's someone in a factory
278
896880
3096
O podsećanju da postoji neko u nekoj fabrici
15:00
who made the fabric for the chairs you're sitting in right now.
279
900000
4216
ko je napravio tkaninu za stolicu na kojoj upravo sedite.
15:04
That someone went into a mine and got the copper for this microphone
280
904240
6136
Da se neko spustio u rudnik i dopremio bakar za ovaj mikrofon
15:10
so that I could say my final thank you,
281
