My journey to yo-yo mastery | BLACK

Translator: Joseph Geni Reviewer: Morton Bast

Kad sam imao 14 godina,

When I was 14 years old,

I had low self-esteem.

imao sam nizak nivo samopouzdanja.

I felt I was not talented at anything.

Osećao sam da nisam talentovan ni za šta.

One day, I bought a yo-yo.

Jednog dana kupio sam jo-jo.

Kad sam pokušao svoj prvi trik izgledalo je ovako.

When I tried my first trick, it looked like this:

(Laughter)

I couldn't even do the simplest trick,

Nisam mogao da napravim ni najjednostavniji trik,

but it was very natural for me,

ali to je bilo prirodno za mene,

because I was not dextrous, and hated all sports.

jer nisam bio spretan i mrzeo sam sve sportove.

But after one week of practicing,

Ali nakon nedelju dana vežbanja,

my throws became more like this:

moji pokreti su izgledali ovako.

A bit better.

Za nijansu bolje.

I thought, the yo-yo is something for me to be good at.

Pomislio sam, jo-jo je nešto u čemu mogu da budem dobar,

For the first time in my life,

prvi put u životu.

I found my passion.

Pronašao sam svoju strast.

I was spending all my time practicing.

Provodio sam sve vreme vežbajući.

It took me hours and hours a day to build my skills up to the next level.

Bili su potrebni sati i sati svakog dana

da podignem svoje veštine na sledeći nivo.

I onda, nakon četiri godine, kad sam imao 18 godina,

And then, four years later, when I was 18 years old,

stajao sam na pozornici Svetskog Jo-Jo takmičenja.

I was standing onstage at the World YoYo Contest.

And I won.

I pobedio sam.

I was so excited.

Bio sam toliko uzbuđen. "Da, uspeo sam! Postao sam heroj.

"Yes, I did it! I became a hero.

I may get many sponsors, a lot of money,

Mogao bih dobiti mnogo sponzora, novca,

tons of interviews, and be on TV!" I thought.

tone intervjua i biti na TV-u!" Pomislio sam. (Smeh)

(Laughter)

But after coming back to Japan,

Međutim po povratku u Japan,

totally nothing changed in my life.

baš ništa se nije promenilo.

(Laughter)

Shvatio sam da društvo ne ceni moju strast.

I realized society didn't value my passion.

Vratio sam se na koledž

So I went back to my college

and became a typical Japanese worker as a systems engineer.

i postao tipični japanski radnik,

inženjer za sisteme.

I felt my passion, heart and soul, had left my body.

Osećao sam da su moja strast, moje srce i duša, napustili telo.

I felt I was not alive anymore.

Nisam se više osećao živim.

So I started to consider what I should do,

Počeo sam da razmišljam šta da uradim

and I thought, I wanted to make my performance better,

i pomislio sam da želim da poboljšam svoj nastup

and to show onstage how spectacular the yo-yo could be

i pokažem na pozornici koliko jo-jo može biti spektakularan

to change the public's image of the yo-yo.

i time promenim mišljenje publike o jo-jo-u.

So I quit my company

Dao sam otkaz u kompaniji

i započeo karijeru profesionalnog izvođača.

and started a career as a professional performer.

Počeo sam da učim klasični balet, džez-ples,

I started to learn classic ballet, jazz dance, acrobatics and other things

akrobatske i druge veštine

to make my performance better.

u cilju poboljšanja performansa.

As a result of these efforts, and the help of many others,

Kao rezultat ovih nastojanja i pomoći mnogih drugih,

it happened.

desilo se.

I won the World YoYo Contest again in the artistic performance division.

Ponovo sam osvojio Svetsko jo-jo prvenstvo

u konkurenciji umetničkog nastupa.

I passed an audition for Cirque Du Soleil.

Prošao sam audiciju za "Cirque du Soleil".

Today, I am standing on the TED stage

Danas stojim na TED pozornici

with the yo-yo in front of you.

sa tim jo-jo-om pred vama.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

What I learned from the yo-yo is,

Ono što sam naučio zahvaljujući jo-jo-u,

if I make enough effort with huge passion,

je da ako uložim dovoljan napor sa velikom strašću,

there is no impossible.

ništa nije nemoguće.

Dozvoljavate li mi da podelim svoju strast sa vama

Could you let me share my passion with you

through my performance?

kroz nastup?
