Activism needs introverts | Sarah Corbett

Prevodilac: Marija Cvijic Lektor: Tijana Mihajlović

A few years ago, about seven years ago,

Pre otprilike sedam godina

I found myself hiding in a festival toilet,

zatekla sam se u situaciji gde sam se krila u toaletu na festivalu,

a music festival toilet,

u toaletu na muzičkom festivalu,

and if anyone's been to a music festival,

a ako ste ikada bili na muzičkom festivalu,

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

znate da do trećeg dana

it's pretty nasty.

unutra postane prilično gadno.

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

Stajala sam u toaletu zato što nisam mogla ni da sednem

because the toilet roll had run out,

jer nije bilo toaletnog papira;

there was mud everywhere,

svuda je bilo blata

and it smelled pretty bad.

i mirisalo je užasno.

And I stood there thinking,

Stajala sam tamo razmišljajući:

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

„Šta ja radim ovde? Čak ni ne moram u toalet.”

But the reason I went

Ali otišla sam

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

jer sam volontirala za veliku organizaciju koja se bavi klimatskim promenama,

and it was seven years ago,

a to je bilo pre sedam godina,

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

kada mnogo ljudi nije verovalo u klimatske promene;

people were very cynical about activism,

ljudi su bili veoma cinični kada je u pitanju aktivizam.

and my role, with all of my teammates,

Uloga mene i članova moga tima

was to get people to sign petitions on climate justice

bila je da nagovorimo ljude da potpišu peticiju o klimatskoj pravdi,

and educate them a bit more about the issue.

kao i da ih malo više edukujemo o ovom problemu.

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

Zaista mi je bilo stalo do klimatskih promena i društvenih nejednakosti,

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

te sam išla da razgovaram sa mnogo ljudi,

which made me nervous and drained me of energy,

zbog čega sam se osećala nervoznom i ispijenom.

but I did it because I cared,

Ipak, radila sam to jer sam marila.

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

Na kraju bih završila skrivajući se po toaletima zato što bih bila iscrpljena,

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

a nisam želela da drugi sumnjaju u moju posvećenost cilju,

thinking that I was slacking.

kao ni da misle da zabušavam.

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

Na kraju naše smene bismo se sastali

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

i prebrojali ko je koliko potpisa skupio

and often I'd win the amount of petitions signed

i ja bih često pobedila u broju sakupljenih potpisa

even though I had my little breaks in the toilet.

iako sam imala male pauze u toaletu.

But I was always very jealous of the other activists,

Ali sam uvek bila ljubomorna na druge volontere,

because either they had the same amount of energy

zato što su imali ili istu količinu energije

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

koju su imali na početku smene

or often they had more energy,

ili su još češće imali još više energije,

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

te su bili veoma uzbuđeni zato što će uveče gledati nastupe bendova

and having a dance.

i igrati.

And even if I loved the bands,

Čak i kada su mi se sviđali bendovi,

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

jedino što sam želela jeste da se vratim u šator i zaspim

because I'd just feel completely wiped out,

jer sam se osećala potpuno iscrpljeno,

and I was really jealous of people that had the energy

pa sam bila jako ljubomorna na one koji su imali snage

to go and party hard at the festivals.

da izađu i da se provode na festivalima.

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

To me je činilo i izuzetno besnom iznutra.

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

Pomislila bih: „Ovo nije fer.

Ja sam introvert,

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

a čini se da su sve ove oflajn kampanje pogodnije za esktroverte.”

I would go on marches which drained me.

Išla sam na proteste koji bi me iscrpljivali.

That was the other option.

To je bila druga opcija.

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

Ili sam se pridruživala protestima ispred ambasada ili prodavnica.

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

Jedina stvar koja se nudila uključivala je mnoštvo ljudi,

it was very loud activism,

to je bio veoma glasan aktivizam,

it always involved lots of people, it was performing.

koji je uvek uključivao mnogo ljudi; to je bio nastup.

None of it was for introverts,

Nijedan od njih nije bio za introverte

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

i smatrala sam da to nije fer,

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

jer introverti čine između trećine i polovine svetske populacije,

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

što nije u redu prema nama, jer bismo pregoreli,

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

ili bismo izgubili interesovanje za aktivizam,

and everyone needs to be an activist in this world.

a svi treba da budu aktivisti na ovom svetu.

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

Takođe nisam smatrala da je posebno pametno,

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

ali sam mogla da primetim da dosta aktivizma

wasn't only extrovert activism.

nije bio samo aktivizam za ekstroverte.

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 ljudima koji nastupaju sve vreme.

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

Dosta posla koji je trebalo obaviti bilo je u pozadini,

was hidden, wasn't seen.

sakriveno, nevidljivo.

And when I ended up just being a campaigner,

Kada sam postala član kampanje,

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

jer je to jedini posao koji mogu raditi,

I was campaigning at university,

bila sam deo fakultetskih kampanja,

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

i tokom zadnjih 10 godina profesionalno se bavim kampanjama

for large charities,

velikih dobrotvornih organizacija.

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

Sada sam savetnik za kreativne kampanje različitih dobrotvornih organizacija,

as well as other work I do --

pored drugih poslova koje obavljam.

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

Ipak, znala sam da postoje drugi oblici aktivizma koji su potrebni.

I started tinkering about seven years ago

Pre sedam godina počela sam da eksperimentišem

to see what quieter forms of activism I could engage with

da vidim kojim mirnijim oblicima aktivizma bih se mogla pridružiti,

so I didn't burn out as an activist,

a da ne pregorim kao aktivista,

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

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

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

Imala sam sreće da sam, dok sam radila za Oksfam i druge organizacije,

I could read lots of big reports

mogla da čitam mnogo izveštaja

on what influenced politicians and businesses

o tome šta utiče na političare i kompanije,

and the general public,

kao i na samu javnost,

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

te koje kampanje su prošle dobro, a koje nisu.

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

Pomalo sam štreber, stoga sam ih sve pročitala

and I wanted to tinker around

i pokušala da smislim

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

kako bih mogla uključiti ljude u društvene promene na drugačiji način,

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

jer smatram da, ako želimo da svet bude lepši, bolji i pravedniji,

then our activism should be beautiful, kind and just,

onda bi naš aktivizam trebalo da bude lep, dobar i pravedan,

and often it's not.

što često nije.

And today, I just want to talk about three ways

Danas želim da govorim o tri razloga

that I think activism needs introverts.

zbog kojih mislim da su aktivizmu potrebni introverti.

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

Mislim da ima mnogo više razloga, ali ću da govorim samo o ova tri.

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

Prvi razlog je: aktivizam je često veoma brz

and it's about doing,

i radi se o delovanju,

so extroverts, often their immediate response to injustice is,

a trenutni odgovor ekstroverata na nepravdu

we've got to do stuff now,

je da moramo odmah da reagujemo.

we've got to react really quickly --

Moramo brzo da reagujemo

and yes, we do need to react,

i da, zaista moramo da reagujemo,

but we need to be strategic in our campaigning,

ali moramo da delujemo strateški u našoj kampanji,

and if we just act on anger,

a ako reagujemo vođeni besom,

often we do the wrong things.

često činimo pogrešne stvari.

I use craft, like needlework --

Ja koristim veštine, kao što je vezenje,

like this guy behind me is doing --

što i ovaj dečko iza mene radi,

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

kako bih ne samo usporila ove ekstroverte,

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

već i uključila nervozne, tihe introverte u aktivizam.

By doing repetitive actions,

Radnje koje se ponavljaju, kao što je ručni rad,

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

moraš da radiš polako; ne možeš da žuriš.

And those repetitive stitches

A ponavljanje ove radnje ti pomaže

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

da razmišljaš o velikim, kompleksnim, zamršenim problemima društvenih promena,

and figure out what we can do

kao i da smisliš šta možemo da uradimo

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

kao građani, potrošači i glasači,

and all of those different things.

kao i sve ostalo.

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

Vezenje ti pomaže da razmišljaš kritički

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

i da budeš svesniji svojih motiva.

Are you that Barbie aid worker that was mentioned before?

Da li si ti onaj ranijepomenuti volonter koji pokušava da izgleda savršeno?

Are you about joining people in solidarity,

Da li želiš da se pridružiš ljudima iz solidarnosti

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

ili želiš da budeš spasitelj, što često nije veoma etički?

But doing needle work together, as well,

Ali, dok vezemo zajedno,

extroverts and introverts and ambivert --

ekstroverti, introverti i ambiverti -

everyone's on the scale in different places --

svi su na različitim mestima na istoj skali -

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

zato što je to tih, spori oblik aktivizma

it really helps introverts be heard

koja zaista pomaže da se introverti čuju

in other areas, where they are often not heard.

u oblastima u kojima inače ne bi.

It sounds odd,

Zvuči čudno,

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

ali dok vezete ne morate da gledate ljude u oči.

So, for nervous introverts,

Za nervozne introverte

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

to znači da mogu da vezu pored neke osobe ili grupe ljudi

and ask questions that you're thinking

i postave pitanja za koja često misle

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

da nema vremena,

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

ili su previše nervozni da pitaju direktno.

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

Ovako introverti koji vole da duboko razmišljaju

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

kažu: „Zaista je interesantno to što pokušavaš da uradiš,

that extrovert form of activism that's about shaming people

ta ekstrovertna forma aktivizma koja se bavi posramljivanjem ljudi

or quickly going out somewhere,

ili brzom odlaženju nekuda,

but who are you trying to target and how,

ali šta je tvoja ciljna grupa

and is that the best way to do it?"

i da li je to najbolji način da se uradi?”

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

Ovo znači da možete polako voditi ove diskusije,

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

što je sjajno za ekstroverte jer uspore i bolje promisle,

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

ali je i veoma dobro za introverte

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

jer ih drugi čuju, pa se za promenu osećaju kao da su deo pokreta,

in a good way.

u dobrom smislu.

Some ways we do it is stitch cards

Jedan od načina su vezene čestitke

about what values we thread through our activism,

u kojima pišu vrednosti kojima je naš aktivizam prožet,

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

kao i uveravanje da nećemo reagovati na neetični način.

One, sometimes we work with art institutions

Ponekad radimo sa umetničkim institucijama

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

gde dovedemo preko 150 ljudi u muzej Viktorije i Alberta

who can come for hours,

na nekoliko sati,

sit and stitch together on a particular issue,

i gde oni sede, vezu i razmišljaju zajedno o određenom problemu,

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

a onda tvituju o svom mišljenju ili o okupljanju, kao što je recimo ovo.

Also, I always think that activism needs introverts

Takođe smatram da aktivizmu uvek trebaju introverti

because we're really good at intimate activism.

zato što smo zaista dobri u intimnom aktivizmu.

Dakle, dobri smo u sporom aktivizmu

So we're good at slow activism,

and we're really good at intimate activism,

i stvarno smo dobri u intimnom aktivizmu,

and if this year has told us anything,

a ako nas je ova godina išta naučila,

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

to je da, kada pričamo sa ljudima na moćnim pozicijama,

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

moramo da razgovaramo tako što ćemo saslušati suprotno mišljenje,

by building bridges not walls --

dok se povezujemo, a ne ograđujemo -

walls or wars --

ograđujemo ili započinjemo ratove -

and by being critical friends, not aggressive enemies.

tako što smo kritični prijatelji, a ne agresivni neprijatelji.

And one example that I do a lot with introverts,

Na primer, sa mnogo introverata

but with lots of people,

i mnogo ljudi

is make gifts for people in power,

pravim poklone za ljude na vlasti.

so not be outside screaming at them,

Dakle, ne stojimo ispred vrata i vrištimo na njih,

but to give them something like a bespoke handkerchief

već im dajemo nešto, kao, na primer, maramicu koja poručuje:

saying, "Don't blow it.

„Nemojte uprskati.

Use your power for good.

Koristite moć da činite dobro.

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

Mi znamo da ljudi na vašoj poziciji imaju težak zadatak.

How can we help you?"

Kako možemo da vam pomognemo?”

And what's great is, for the introverts,

A ono što je sjajno za introverte

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

je što mogu da pišu pisma dok pravimo ove poklone.

so for us, Marks and Spencer,

Stoga smo pokušali da pokrenemo kampanju za „Marks i Spenser”,

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

kako bismo ih naveli da plate dnevne zarade.

So we made all the 14 board members bespoke handkerchiefs.

Napravili smo maramice sa posvetom za svih 14 članova odbora.

We wrote them letters, we boxed them up,

Napisali smo im pisma, spakovali ih

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

i otišli na njihov godišnji sastanak da im predamo naše poklone

and to have that form of intimate activism

i započnemo taj intimni oblik aktivizma

where we had discussions with them.

gde možemo diskutovati sa njima.

And what was brilliant was that the chair of the board

Bilo je sjajno to što nam je predsednik odbora

told us how amazing our campaign was,

rekao da je naša kampanja neverovatna

how heartfelt it was.

i iskrena.

The board members, like Martha Lane Fox,

Članovi odbora kao što je Marta Lejn Foks,

who has hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter,

koja ima stotine hiljada pratilaca na Tviteru

and highly influential in business,

i koja je veoma uticajna u poslovnom svetu,

tweeted how impressed she was,

tvitovala je koliko je bila impresionirana,

and within 10 months,

te smo u narednih 10 meseci

we'd had meetings with Marks and Spencer

imali sastanke sa „Marksom i Spenserom”

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

gde smo rekli: „Znamo da je teško biti poslodavac koji daje pristojnu platu,

but if you can be one,

ali ukoliko 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

jer nije u redu da neki od vaših sjajnih radnika rade puno radno vreme,

and still can't pay their bills.

a da ne mogu plaćati račune.

And we love Marks and Spencer.

A mi volimo „Marks i Spenser”.

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

Kako možete postati uzor kakav mi želimo da budete?”

So that was that intimate form of activism.

To je bio vid intimnog aktivizma.

We had lots of meetings with them.

Imali smo mnogo sastanaka sa njima.

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

Dali smo im božićne čestitke i čestitke za Dan zaljubljenih koje su poručivale:

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

„Mi stvarno želimo da vas ohrabrimo da počnete davati pristojne plate”

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

i u roku od 10 meseci objavili su novinarima

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

da će početi da plaćaju dnevnice dovoljne za samostalan život, te sada -

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

Hvala vam.

Thank you.

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

Sada radimo sa njima kako bi postali ovlašćeni,

which is really important,

što je zaista bitno,

and we went back to the last AGM this June

te smo otišli na poslednji održani sastanak odbora u junu

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

gde smo vodili sjajne diskusije u četiri oka sa članovima odbora,

who told us how much they loved their hankies

koji su rekli da su im se svidele maramice

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

i da ih je zaista 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 ispred i vrištali na njih

and not being gentle in our protest,

i da nismo bili ljubazni tokom našeg protesta,

they wouldn't have even listened to us,

ne bi nas ni saslušali,

never mind had those discussions with us.

a kamoli vodili diskusije sa nama.

And I think introverts are really good at intimate activism

Mislim da su introverti stvarno dobri u intimnom aktivizmu

because we like to listen,

jer volimo da saslušamo,

we like one-to-ones,

volimo razgovore u četiri oka,

we don't like small talks,

ne volimo čavrljanja,

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

volimo da razgovaramo o velikim, sočnim problemima,

we don't like conflict,

ne volimo konflikte,

so we avoid it at all costs,

stoga ih izbegavamo po svaku cenu,

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

što je zaista bitno kada pokušavate da razgovarate sa moćnim ljudima,

not to be conflicting with them all the time.

da se ne sukobljavamo stalno sa njima.

The third way I think activists are really missing out

Treći način zbog kojeg mislim da aktivisti gube

if they don't engage introverts

ako ne angažuju introverte

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

je zato što introverti, kao što sam rekla, čine polovinu svetske populacije,

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

a većina nas neće ni reći da smo introverti

or we get embarrassed by saying what overwhelms us.

ili ćemo se osećati osramoćeno kada kažemo šta nas opterećuje.

So for me, a few years ago,

Što se tiče mene, pre par godina,

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

mama je znala da mi pošalje poruku napisanu velikim slovima -

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

sada zna da koristi smajlije i ostalo i prilično je dobra -

but as soon as I'd see this text,

ali čim bih videla takvu poruku,

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

žacnula 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 bih ih zanemariti da pročitam poruku koju je poslala.

And that's a bit embarrassing,

Malo je neugodno

reći ljudima da te velika slova opterećuju,

to tell people that capital letters overwhelm you,

but we really need introverts to help us do intriguing activism

ali nama zaista trebaju introverti da nam pomognu oko zanimljivih oblika 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 džinovski plakati

and capital letters and explanation marks

i velika slova i uzvičnici

telling us what to do and vying for our attention.

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

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

Jedna od stvari koje pravim sa ljudima širom sveta

is make small bits of provocative street art

su mali komadići provokativne ulične umetnosti,

which are hung off eye level, very small,

koji su obešeni u visini očiju i koji su veoma mali

and they're provocative messages.

i u obliku provokativnih poruka.

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

Oni ne pridikuju ljudima niti im govore šta da rade.

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

Oni samo podstiču ljude da se uključe

and think for themselves,

i razmišljaju za sebe,

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

jer niko ne voli da mu se govori šta da radi.

It might be wearing a green heart on your sleeve

Jedna od njih je nošenje zelenog srca na rukavu

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

koje kazuje šta voliš i kako klimatske promene utiču na to.

and we'll wear it,

Mi ih nosimo,

and if people say,

a ako ljudi pitaju:

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

„Zašto nosiš zeleno srce na kome piše 'čokolada'?”,

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

možemo da vodimo onaj intimni razgovor u četiri oka i kažemo:

"I love chocolate.

„Volim čokoladu.

Climate change is going to affect it,

Klimatske promene će delovati na nju

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

i smatram da ima puno drugih stvari na koje će klimatske promene da utiču,

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

a ja stvarno želim da se pobrinem da budem deo rešenja, a ne problema.”

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 da budemo u centru pažnje

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

i kažemo: „Šta ti voliš i kako će klimatske promene uticati na to?”

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

Ili umesto krađe, možemo ostavljati stvari u prodavnicama.

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

Pravimo malene svitke na kojima su napisane divne priče

about what's the story behind your clothes.

koje se kriju iza vaše odeće.

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

Da li je to vesela ili okrutna priča?

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

Samo ćemo ih ubaciti u džepiće odeće u prodavnicama.

all lowercase, all handwritten,

Svi su pisani rukom i malim slovima,

with kisses and smiley faces in ribbon,

sa poljupcima i smajlićima, sa vrpcom

and then people are excited that they found it.

i onda su ljudi uzbuđeni jer su ih našli.

And we often drop them in unethical shops

Često ih ostavljamo u radnjama koje ne rade etički

or in front pockets,

ili u prednje džepove

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

i na taj način vršimo oflajn kampanje

that engages us and doesn't burn us out,

koje uključuju i nas, a ne ostavljaju nas iznemogle,

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

a uključuju i druge ljude, kako onlajn, tako i oflajn.

So I've got two calls to action,

Stoga imam dva poziva na akciju,

for the introverts and for the extroverts.

za introverte i za 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,

Ekstrovertima želim reći da, kada planirate kampanju,

think about introverts.

razmislite i o introvertima.

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

Setite se da naše veštine vrede isto koliko i veštine ekstrovertnih osoba.

We're good at slowing down and thinking deeply,

Mi smo dobri u usporavanju i dubljem razmišljanju,

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

kao i iznošenju detalja problema.

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

Dobri smo u intimnom aktivizmu, stoga nas koristite na taj način.

And we're good at intriguing people

Takođe smo dobri u privlačenju ljudi

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

malim, čudnim stvarima koje pomažu da se započne razgovor ili razmišljanje.

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 da budete sami,

I know you like being in your head,

kao i da budete u svojoj glavi,

but activism needs you,

ali ste potrebni aktivizmu,

so sometimes you've got to get out there.

stoga ponekad morate da izađete.

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

To ne znači da treba da se pretvorite u ekstroverta i pregorite,

jer niko nema koristi od toga,

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 treba da vrednujete veštine i osobine koje posedujete,

that activism needs.

a koje trebaju aktivizmu.

So for everyone in this room,

Stoga svima prisutnima,

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

bez obzira na to da li ste ekstrovert, introvert ili ambivert,

the world needs you now more than ever,

svet vas treba, sada više nego ikada,

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

i nemate izgovor da se ne uključite.

Thanks.

Hvala.
