Kare Anderson: Be an opportunity maker

Prevodilac: Ljiljana Ikodinovic Lektor: Mile Živković

I grew up

Odrasla sam

diagnosed as phobically shy,

sa dijagnozom fobične stidljivosti,

and, like at least 20 other people

i kao barem 20 drugih ljudi

in a room of this size,

u prostoriji ove veličine,

I was a stutterer.

mucala sam.

Do you dare raise your hand?

Da li se usuđujete da podignete ruku?

And it sticks with us. It really does stick with us,

I to nas prati. To nas zaista prati,

because when we are treated that way,

jer, kada se prema nama ophode na taj način,

we feel invisible sometimes,

mi se ponekad osećamo kao da smo nevidljivi,

or talked around and at.

da nas nagovaraju ili nam govore.

And as I started to look at people,

A kada sam počela da gledam ljude,

which is mostly all I did,

što je uglavnom bilo sve što sam radila,

I noticed that some people

primetila sam da su neki ljudi

really wanted attention and recognition.

zaista želeli pažnju i priznanje.

Remember, I was young then.

Zapamtite, tada sam bila mlada.

So what did they do?

I šta su radili?

What we still do perhaps too often.

Ono što i dalje, možda prečesto, radimo.

We talk about ourselves.

Pričamo o sebi.

And yet there are other people I observed

Ali ipak bilo je i drugih ljudi koje sam posmatrala

who had what I called a mutuality mindset.

i koji su imali ono što zovem uzajamnim načinom razmišljanja.

In each situation, they found a way to talk about us

U svakoj situaciji, oni bi našli način da govore o nama

and create that "us" idea.

i kreiraju tu "mi" ideju.

So my idea to reimagine the world

Tako je moja ideja ponovnog osmišljavanja sveta

is to see it one where we all become

da ga vidim kao jednog u kome svi postajemo

greater opportunity-makers with and for others.

veći stvaraoci povoljnih prilika sa drugima i za druge.

There's no greater opportunity

Ne postoji veća prilika

or call for action for us now

ili poziv na delanje koji nam je sada upućen

than to become opportunity-makers

nego da postanemo stvaraoci povoljnih prilika

who use best talents together more often

koji zajedno koriste svoje najbolje talente češće

for the greater good

za veće dobro

and accomplish things we couldn't have done on our own.

i postižu stvari koje ne bismo mogli da učinimo sami.

And I want to talk to you about that,

I hoću da vam govorim o tome,

because even more than giving,

jer čak veća nego davanje,

even more than giving,

čak veća nego davanje,

is the capacity for us to do something smarter

je naša sposobnost da zajedno učinimo nešto pametnije

together for the greater good

za veće dobro

that lifts us both up

koje nas oboje uzdiže

and that can scale.

i to može da raste.

That's why I'm sitting here.

To je razlog što sedim ovde.

But I also want to point something else out:

Ali takođe želim da istaknem nešto drugo:

Each one of you

svako od vas

is better than anybody else at something.

je bolji od bilo koga drugog, u nečemu.

That disproves that popular notion

To osporava popularno mišljenje

that if you're the smartest person in the room,

da ukoliko ste najpametniji u prostoriji,

you're in the wrong room.

vi ste u pogrešnoj prostoriji.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

So let me tell you about

Dozvolite mi da vam ispričam

a Hollywood party I went to a couple years back,

o zabavi u Holivudu na kojoj sam bila pre dve godine,

and I met this up-and-coming actress,

i upoznala sam tu glumicu u usponu,

and we were soon talking about something

i uskoro smo razgovarale o nečemu

that we both felt passionately about: public art.

prema čemu smo obe osećale strastveno: javnoj umetnosti.

And she had the fervent belief

I ona je bila čvrsto ubeđena

that every new building in Los Angeles

da svaka nova zgrada u Los Anđelesu

should have public art in it.

treba da sadrži javnu umetnost.

She wanted a regulation for it,

Ona je želela da to bude pravno regulisano,

and she fervently started —

i vatreno je započela -

who is here from Chicago? —

ko je ovde iz Čikaga? -

she fervently started talking about

vatreno je počela da govori

these bean-shaped reflective sculptures

o onoj reflektujućoj skulpturi u obliku pasulja

in Millennium Park,

u parku Milenijum,

and people would walk up to it

i ljudi bi joj se približili

and they'd smile in the reflection of it,

i nasmejali bi se svom odrazu,

and they'd pose and they'd vamp

i pozirali bi i zavodili

and they'd take selfies together,

i zajedno bi sebe fotografisali,

and they'd laugh.

i oni bi se smejali.

And as she was talking, a thought came to my mind.

I dok je govorila, na um mi je pala misao.

I said, "I know someone you ought to meet.

Rekla sam: "Poznajem nekoga koga treba da upoznaš.

He's getting out of San Quentin in a couple of weeks" —

On izlazi iz San Kventina za par nedelja" -

(Laughter) —

(Smeh)

"and he shares your fervent desire

"I on deli tvoju vatrenu žudnju

that art should engage and enable people to connect."

za umetnošću koja treba da angažuje i omogući ljudima da se povežu."

He spent five years in solitary,

Proveo je pet godina u samici,

and I met him because I gave a speech at San Quentin,

i upoznala sam ga jer sam održala govor u San Kventinu,

and he's articulate

i on se jasno izražava,

and he's rather easy on the eyes because he's buff.

i prijatnog je izgleda, jer je mišićav.

He had workout regime he did every day.

Svakodnevno je upražnjavao režim fizičkih vežbi.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

I think she was following me at that point.

Mislim da me je u tom momentu slušala.

I said, "He'd be an unexpected ally."

Rekla sam: "On bi bio neočekivan saveznik."

And not just that. There's James. He's an architect

I ne samo to. Tu je i Džejms. On je arhitekta

and he's a professor, and he loves place-making,

i profesor, i voli da kreira mesta,

and place-making is when you have

a kreiranje mesta je kada imate

those mini-plazas and those urban walkways

te mini-trgove i urbane pasaže

and where they're dotted with art,

koji su prepuni umetnosti,

where people draw and come up and talk sometimes.

gde ljudi crtaju i ponekad dolaze i razgovaraju.

I think they'd make good allies.

Mislim da bi i oni bili dobri saveznici.

And indeed they were.

I zaista i jesu bili.

They met together. They prepared.

Sreli su se. Pripremili su se.

They spoke in front of the Los Angeles City Council.

Govorili su pred Gradskim većem Los Anđelesa.

And the council members not only passed the regulation,

A članovi Veća ne samo da su doneli propise,

half of them came down and asked to pose with them afterwards.

polovina ih je sišla i tražila da se sa njima fotografiše nakon glasanja.

They were startling, compelling and credible.

Oni su bili izuzetni, neodoljivi i uverljivi.

You can't buy that.

To ne možete kupiti.

Ono što tražim od vas da razmotrite

What I'm asking you to consider

je kakvi bismo stvaraoci povoljnih prilika mi mogli da postanemo,

is what kind of opportunity- makers we might become,

because more than wealth

jer značajnija od bogatstva,

or fancy titles

ili visokoparnih titula,

or a lot of contacts, it's our capacity to connect

ili mnogobrojnih poznanstava, je naša sposobnost da se povežemo

around each other's better side and bring it out.

preko naših kvaliteta i da ih ispoljimo.

And I'm not saying this is easy,

I ne kažem da je to lako,

and I'm sure many of you have made the wrong moves too

i sigurna sam da su i mnogi od vas učinili pogrešne korake

about who you wanted to connect with,

u vezi toga s kim ste želeli da se povežete,

but what I want to suggest is,

ali ono što želim da sugerišem

this is an opportunity.

je da je ovo prilika.

I started thinking about it

Počela sam o ovome da razmišljam

way back when I was a Wall Street Journal reporter

jako davno kada sam bila izveštač za Vol strit žurnal

and I was in Europe and I was supposed to cover trends

i kada je trebalo da iz Evrope izveštavam o trendovima

and trends that transcended business

i trendovima koji prevazilaze biznis

or politics or lifestyle.

ili politiku ili životni stil.

So I had to have contacts

Tako da sam morala da imam poznanstva

in different worlds very different than mine,

u svetovima veoma različitim od moga,

because otherwise you couldn't spot the trends.

jer u suprotnom ne možete da primetite trendove.

And third, I had to write the story

I kao treće, trebalo je da napišem priču

in a way stepping into the reader's shoes,

na neki način stavljajući se u poziciju čitalaca,

so they could see how these trends could affect their lives.

da bi oni mogli da vide kako ti trendovi mogu da utiču na njihove živote.

That's what opportunity-makers do.

To je ono što stvaraoci povoljnih prilika rade.

And here's a strange thing:

A evo šta je čudno:

Unlike an increasing number of Americans

za razliku od sve većeg broja Amerikanaca

who are working and living and playing with people

koji žive i rade i saobraćaju sa ljudima

who think exactly like them

koji razmišljaju na istovetan način

because we then become more rigid and extreme,

jer mi tada postajemo rigidniji i ekstremniji,

opportunity-makers are actively seeking situations

stvaraoci povoljnih prilika aktivno traže okolnosti

with people unlike them,

sa ljudima različitim od sebe,

and they're building relationships,

i grade odnose,

and because they do that,

i pošto to rade,

they have trusted relationships

oni imaju pouzdane odnose

where they can bring the right team in

gde mogu da uvedu odgovarajući tim

and recruit them to solve a problem better and faster

i okupe ih da reše probleme bolje i brže

and seize more opportunities.

i iskoriste više prilika.

They're not affronted by differences,

Njih ne odbijaju različitosti,

they're fascinated by them,

one ih opčinjavaju,

and that is a huge shift in mindset,

i to je ogromna promena u načinu razmišljanja,

and once you feel it, you want it to happen a lot more.

i kada je jednom osetite, želite da vam se događa mnogo češće.

This world is calling out for us to have a collective mindset,

Ovaj svet nas poziva da imamo zajednički način razmišljanja,

and I believe in doing that.

i ja verujem da to treba da učinimo.

It's especially important now.

Ovo je naročito značajno sada.

Why is it important now?

Zašto je značajno sada?

Because things can be devised like drones

Jer mogu biti izumljene stvari kao bespilotne letelice,

and drugs and data collection,

i lekovi i prikupljanje podataka,

and they can be devised by more people

i njih može izumeti više ljudi

and cheaper ways for beneficial purposes

na jeftiniji način za blagotvorne svrhe,

and then, as we know from the news every day,

i tada, kao što svakodnevno saznajemo iz vesti,

they can be used for dangerous ones.

one mogu biti korišćene u opasne svrhe.

It calls on us, each of us,

Ona nas poziva, svakoga od nas,

to a higher calling.

ka višem cilju.

But here's the icing on the cake:

Ali evo ga i šlag na torti:

It's not just the first opportunity

to nije samo prva prilika

that you do with somebody else

da radite sa nekim drugim,

that's probably your greatest,

to je verovatno vaša najveća prilika,

as an institution or an individual.

kao institucije ili pojedinca.

It's after you've had that experience

To je nakon ovog iskustva

and you trust each other.

kada vi verujete jedno drugom.

It's the unexpected things

To su neočekivane stvari

that you devise later on

koje kasnije pronalazite,

you never could have predicted.

a koje nikada ne biste mogli da predvidite.

For example, Marty is the husband of that actress I mentioned,

Na primer, Marti je muž one glumice koju sam pomenula,

and he watched them when they were practicing,

i on ih je posmatrao dok su vežbali,

and he was soon talking to Wally,

i uskoro je razgovorao sa Voli,

my friend the ex-con,

mojim prijateljem bivšim robijašem,

about that exercise regime.

o tim zatvorskim treninzima.

And he thought,

I on je razmišljao:

I have a set of racquetball courts.

ja imam niz terena za raketbol.

That guy could teach it.

Ovaj momak bi mogao da ga podučava.

A lot of people who work there are members at my courts.

Puno ljudi koji tamo rade su članovi na mojim terenima.

They're frequent travelers.

Oni često putuju.

They could practice in their hotel room,

Mogli bi da vežbaju u svojim hotelskim sobama,

no equipment provided.

bez ikakve opreme.

That's how Wally got hired.

Tako se Voli zaposlio.

Not only that, years later

I ne samo to, godinama kasnije

he was also teaching racquetball.

je podučavao i raketbol.

Years after that,

Godinama nakon toga,

he was teaching the racquetball teachers.

on je podučavao učitelje raketbola.

What I'm suggesting is, when you connect with people

Ono što sugerišem je da kada se povežete sa ljudima

around a shared interest and action,

oko zajedničkog interesa i delovanja,

you're accustomed to serendipitous

naviknete se da vam se neočekivane, dobre stvari

things happening into the future,

dešavaju u budućnosti,

and I think that's what we're looking at.

i mislim da je to ono čime se ovde bavimo.

We open ourselves up to those opportunities,

Mi se otvaramo ovim mogućnostima,

and in this room are key players in technology,

i u ovoj sobi se nalaze ključni igrači i tehnologija,

key players who are uniquely positioned to do this,

ključni igrači koji su u jedinstvenoj situaciji da ovo urade,

to scale systems and projects together.

da zajedno unaprede sisteme i projekte.

So here's what I'm calling for you to do.

I evo šta vas pozivam da učinite.

Remember the three traits of opportunity-makers.

Zapamtite tri osobine stvaralaca povoljnih prilika.

Opportunity-makers keep honing their top strength

Stvaraoci povoljnih prilika nastavljaju da razvijaju svoje glavne snage

and they become pattern seekers.

i oni postaju tragaoci za obrascima.

They get involved in different worlds than their worlds

Oni se uključuju u svetove drugačije od njihovih

so they're trusted and they can see those patterns,

tako da im se veruje i oni mogu da vide te obrasce,

and they communicate to connect

i oni komuniciraju da bi se povezali

around sweet spots of shared interest.

oko najboljih tački zajedničkog interesa.

So what I'm asking you is,

Tako da je ono što od vas tražim:

the world is hungry.

svet je gladan.

I truly believe, in my firsthand experience,

Ja zaista verujem, na osnovu neposrednog iskustva,

the world is hungry for us

svet je gladan našeg ujedinjenja

to unite together as opportunity-makers

kao stvaralaca povoljnih prilika,

and to emulate those behaviors

i dostizanja ovakvog ponašanja

as so many of you already do —

kao što mnogi od vas već čine -

I know that firsthand —

to znam iz prve ruke -

and to reimagine a world

i da ponovo osmislimo svet

where we use our best talents together

u kojem zajedno koristimo naše najbolje talente

more often to accomplish greater things together

češće kako bismo zajedno postigli veće stvari

than we could on our own.

od onih koje bismo mogli sami.

Just remember,

Samo upamtite,

as Dave Liniger once said,

kao što je Dejv Liniger jednom rekao:

"You can't succeed

"Ne možete uspeti

coming to the potluck with only a fork."

ako na zajednički organizovan ručak dođete samo sa viljuškom."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Thank you very much.

Mnogo vam hvala.

Thank you. (Applause)

Hvala. (Aplauz)
