The dream we haven't dared to dream | Dan Pallotta

Prevodilac: Ivana Krivokuća Lektor: Tijana Mihajlović

Kada pomislim na snove,

When I think about dreams,

kao i mnogi od vas,

like many of you,

I think about this picture.

zamislim ovu sliku.

I was eight when I watched Neil Armstrong

Imao sam osam godina kada sam gledao Nila Armstronga

step off the Lunar Module onto the surface of the Moon.

kako izlazi iz lunarnog modula na površinu Meseca.

I had never seen anything like it before,

Nikada ranije nisam video tako nešto,

and I've never seen anything like it since.

niti sam video tako nešto nakon toga.

We got to the Moon for one simple reason:

Stigli smo na Mesec zbog jednog jednostavnog razloga -

John Kennedy committed us to a deadline.

Džon Kenedi nas je obavezao na postavljeni rok.

And in the absence of that deadline,

Bez tog roka,

we would still be dreaming about it.

još bismo samo maštali o tome.

Leonard Bernstein said two things are necessary for great achievement:

Lenard Bernstin je rekao da su dve stvari nužne za veliki uspeh,

a plan and not quite enough time.

plan i ne baš dovoljno vremena.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Deadlines and commitments

Rokovi i obaveze

are the great and fading lessons of Apollo.

su sjajne lekcije Apola koje blede.

And they are what give the word "moonshot" its meaning.

To je ono što daje značenje izrazu „poleteti na mesec“.

And our world is in desperate need of political leaders

Našem svetu su očajnički bile potrebne

političke vođe sa spremnošću da postave smele rokove

willing to set bold deadlines

za ponovno ostvarenje smelih snova razmera projekta Apolo.

for the achievement of daring dreams on the scale of Apollo again.

When I think about dreams,

Kada pomislim na snove,

I think about the drag queens of LA and Stonewall

pomislim na drag kvinsice iz Los Anđelesa i Stounvola

and millions of other people risking everything

i milione drugih ljudi koji rizikuju sve

to come out when that was really dangerous,

da bi istupili u trenutku kada je to bilo veoma opasno,

and of this picture of the White House lit up in rainbow colors,

kao i na ovu sliku Bele kuće osvetljene duginim bojama,

yes --

da -

(Applause) --

(Aplauz)

celebrating America's gay and lesbian citizens' right to marry.

radi proslave prava na venčanje gej i lezbejskih građana Amerike.

It is a picture that in my wildest dreams I could never have imagined

To je slika koju nisam mogao da zamislim ni u svojim najluđim snovima

when I was 18

kada sam imao 18 godina,

and figuring out that I was gay

shvatio da sam gej

and feeling estranged from my country

i osetio se otuđen od svoje zemlje

and my dreams because of it.

i svojih snova zbog toga.

I think about this picture of my family

Zamišljam ovu sliku svoje porodice

that I never dreamed I could ever have --

koju nisam mogao ni da zamislim da ću imati -

(Applause) --

(Aplauz)

and of our children holding this headline

i sliku naše dece sa ovim naslovom u rukama

I never dreamed could ever be printed about the Supreme Court ruling.

o odluci Vrhovnog suda, za koji nikada nisam ni sanjao da će biti odštampan.

We need more of the courage of drag queens and astronauts.

Treba nam više hrabrosti drag kvinsica i astronauta.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

But I want to talk about the need for us to dream

No, želim da govorim o potrebi da maštamo

in more than one dimension,

u više od jedne dimenzije,

because there was something about Apollo that I didn't know when I was 8,

jer postoji nešto u vezi sa Apolom što nisam znao kada sam imao 8 godina

and something about organizing that the rainbow colors over.

i nešto u vezi sa organizovanjem gde se boje duge završavaju.

Of the 30 astronauts in the original Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs,

Od 30 astronauta u prvobitnim programima Merkur, Gemini i Apolo,

only seven marriages survived.

samo sedam brakova je opstalo.

Those iconic images of the astronauts bouncing on the Moon

Te upečatljive slike astronauta koji skakuću po Mesecu

obscure the alcoholism and depression on Earth.

prikrivaju alkoholizam i depresiju na Zemlji.

Thomas Merton, the Trappist monk,

Tomas Merton, trapistički monah,

asked during the time of Apollo,

kada su ga upitali u vreme Apola:

"What can we gain by sailing to the moon

„Šta možemo da postignemo putovanjem na Mesec

if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves?"

ako nismo u stanju da pređemo ponor koji nas razdvaja od nas samih?“

And what can we gain by the right to marry

Šta možemo dobiti pravom na brak

if we are not able to cross the acrimony

ako nismo u stanju da pređemo preko ogorčenosti

and emotional distance that so often separates us from our love?

i emocionalne udaljenosti koja nas tako često deli od naše ljubavi?

And not just in marriage.

To nije slučaj samo u braku.

I have seen the most hurtful, destructive,

Video sam najbolnije, najdestruktivnije,

tragic infighting in LGBT and AIDS

najtragičnije unutrašnje sukobe u oblasti borbe za LGBT,

obolele od side i raka dojke i u neprofitnom aktivizmu,

and breast cancer and non-profit activism,

all in the name of love.

sve to u ime ljubavi.

Thomas Merton also wrote about wars among saints

Tomas Merton je takođe pisao o ratovima između svetaca

and that "there is a pervasive form of contemporary violence

i o tome da „postoji rašireni oblik savremenog nasilja

to which the idealist most easily succumbs:

kome idealista najlakše podleže -

activism and overwork.

aktivizam i preterani rad.

The frenzy of our activism neutralizes our work for peace.

Grozničavost našeg aktivizma neutrališe naš rad na miru.

It destroys our own inner capacity for peace."

Uništava naš unutrašnji kapacitet za mir.“

Too often our dreams become these compartmentalized fixations

Naši snovi prečesto postanu pregrađene fiksacije

on some future

na neku budućnost

that destroy our ability to be present for our lives right now.

koje uništavaju našu sposobnost da budemo prisutni u našem životu sada.

Our dreams of a better life for some future humanity

Naši snovi o boljem životu za neko buduće čovečanstvo

or some other humanity in another country

ili neko drugo čovečanstvo u drugoj zemlji

alienate us from the beautiful human beings sitting next to us

udaljava nas od prelepog ljudskog bića

at this very moment.

koje sedi pored nas upravo u ovom trenutku.

Well, that's just the price of progress, we say.

Pa, to je prosto cena napretka, kažemo.

You can go to the Moon

Možete da odete na Mesec

or you can have stability in your family life.

ili možete imati stabilnost u porodičnom životu.

And we can't conceive of dreaming in both dimensions at the same time.

Ne možemo da pojmimo snove istovremeno u dve dimenzije.

And we don't set the bar much higher than stability

Ne postavljamo ciljeve mnogo iznad stabilnosti

when it comes to our emotional life.

kada se radi o našem emocionalnom životu.

Which is why our technology for talking to one another

Zbog toga se naša tehnologija za međusobne razgovore

has gone vertical,

uzdigla visoko,

our ability to listen and understand one another

a naša sposobnost da slušamo i razumemo se međusobno

has gone nowhere.

se nije pomerila sa mesta.

Our access to information is through the roof,

Naš pristup informacijama vinuo se u visine,

our access to joy, grounded.

a naš pristup radosti stoji na zemlji.

But this idea, that our present and our future are mutually exclusive,

Međutim, ta ideja da se naša sadašnjost i naša budućnost međusobno isključuju,

that to fulfill our potential for doing we have to surrender

da se, kako bismo ostvarili svoj potencijal za rad, moramo odreći

our profound potential for being,

našeg dubokog potencijala za bivstvovanje,

that the number of transistors on a circuit can be doubled and doubled,

da se broj tranzistora u kolu može više puta udvostručiti,

but our capacity for compassion and humanity and serenity and love

ali je naš kapacitet za saosećanje, čovečnost, spokojstvo i ljubav

is somehow limited

nekako ograničen,

is a false and suffocating choice.

predstavlja pogrešan izbor koji guši.

Now, I'm not suggesting

Ne predlažem prosto nezanimljivu ideju

simply the uninspiring idea of more work-life balance.

više ravnoteže između rada i života.

What good is it for me to spend more time with my kids at home

Šta imam od toga da provedem više vremena sa decom kod kuće

if my mind is always somewhere else while I'm doing it?

ako sam u glavi uvek negde drugde za to vreme?

I'm not even talking about mindfulness.

Ne govorim čak ni o usredsređenosti uma.

Mindfulness is all of a sudden becoming a tool for improving productivity.

Usredsređenost uma odjednom postaje sredstvo za poboljšanje produktivnosti.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Right?

Zar ne?

I'm talking about dreaming

Govorim o sanjarenju

as boldly in the dimension of our being

podjednako smelom u pogledu našeg bivstvovanja

as we do about industry and technology.

kao što sanjamo kada se radi o industriji i tehnologiji.

I'm talking about an audacious authenticity

Govorim o odvažnoj autentičnosti

that allows us to cry with one another,

koja nam dozvoljava da plačemo jedni sa drugima,

a heroic humility that allows us to remove our masks and be real.

o herojskoj poniznosti koja nam dozvoljava da skinemo naše maske i budemo iskreni.

It is our inability to be with one another,

Naša nesposobnost da budemo jedni sa dugima,

our fear of crying with one another, that gives rise to so many

naš strah od plakanja sa drugima, jeste ono što dovodi do toliko problema

of the problems we are frantically trying to solve in the first place,

koje inače toliko pomahnitalo pokušavamo da rešimo,

from Congressional gridlock to economic inhumanity.

od zastoja u Kongresu do ekonomske nehumanosti.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

I'm talking about what Jonas Salk called an Epoch B,

Govorim o onome što je Džonas Solk nazivao „Epohom B“,

a new epoch in which we become as excited about and curious about

novom epohom u kojoj postajemo pojednako uzbuđeni, radoznali

and scientific about the development of our humanity

i naučno orijentisani prema razvoju našeg čovečanstva

as we are about the development of our technology.

kao i kada je u pitanju razvoj naše tehnologije.

We should not shrink from this opportunity

Ne treba da zaziremo od ove mogućnosti

simply because we don't really understand it.

samo zato što je baš i ne razumemo.

There was a time when we didn't understand space.

Postojao je period u kom nismo razumeli svemir.

Or because we're more used to technology and activism.

Ili, zato što smo naviknutiji na tehnologiju i aktivizam.

That is the very definition of being stuck in a comfort zone.

To je prava definicija zaglavljenosti u zoni komfora.

We are now very comfortable imagining unimaginable technological achievement.

Sada se osećamo vrlo ugodno dok zamišljamo nezamisliva tehnološka dostignuća.

In 2016, it is the dimension of our being itself

U 2016. godini, sama dimenzija našeg bića

that cries out for its fair share of our imagination.

vapi za svojim udelom u našoj mašti.

Now, we're all here to dream,

Svi smo ovde da bismo sanjali,

but maybe if we're honest about it,

ali moguće je, ako ćemo iskreno,

each of us chasing our own dream.

da svako od nas juri za sopstvenim snom.

You know, looking at the name tags to see who can help me with my dream,

Znate, razmatranje imena tako da vidim ko može da mi pomogne oko mog sna,

sometimes looking right through one another's humanity.

ponekad dok gledamo mimo čovečnosti druge osobe.

I can't be bothered with you right now. I have an idea for saving the world.

Ne mogu sad da se zamajavam sa tobom. Imam ideju o spasavanju sveta.

Right?

Zar ne?

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Years ago, once upon a time, I had this beautiful company

Pre mnogo godina, nekada davno, imao sam divnu kompaniju

that created these long journeys for heroic civic engagement.

koja je organizovala duga putovanja radi herojskog građanskog angažovanja.

And we had this mantra:

Imali smo sledeću mantru:

"Human. Kind. Be Both."

„Čovek. Dobar. Budi oba.“

And we encouraged people to experiment outrageously with kindness.

Podsticali smo ljude da neobuzdano eksperimentišu sa dobrotom.

Like, "Go help everybody set up their tents."

Na primer: „Pomozite svima da postave šatore.“

And there were a lot of tents.

A bilo je mnogo šatora.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

"Go buy everybody Popsicles."

„Idite da svima kupite sladoled.“

"Go help people fix their flat tires

„Pomozite ljudima da poprave probušenu gumu

even though you know the dinner line is going to get longer."

čak i ako znate da će vam biti duži red za večeru.“

And people really took us up on this,

Ovo se stvarno primilo kod ljudi,

toliko da, kad bi vam se probušila guma na događaju „Vožnja protiv side“,

so much so that if you got a flat tire on the AIDS ride,

you had trouble fixing it, because there were so many people there asking you

imali biste problema da je popravite jer bi vas toliko ljudi pitalo

if you needed help.

da li vam treba pomoć.

For a few days, for tens of thousands of people,

Na nekoliko dana smo za desetine hiljada ljudi

we created these worlds

stvorili te svetove za koje su svi govorili

that everybody said were the way they wish the world could always be.

da su bili takvi kako bi oni voleli da svet uvek bude.

What if we experimented with creating that kind of world

Šta ako bismo sproveli eksperiment stvaranja takvog sveta

these next few days?

narednih nekoliko dana?

And instead of going up to someone and asking them, "What do you do?"

Umesto da priđete nekome i upitate ga: „Čime se bavite?“,

ask them, "So what are your dreams?"

upitajte ga „Koji su vaši snovi?“

or "What are your broken dreams?"

ili „Koji su vaši neostvareni snovi?“

You know, "TED." Tend to Each other's Dreams.

Znate, „TED“. Starati se o snovima jedni drugima.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

Maybe it's "I want to stay sober"

Možda je u pitanju „Hoću da ostanem trezan“

or "I want to build a tree house with my kid."

ili „Hoću da napravim kućicu na drvetu sa svojim detetom.“

You know, instead of going up to the person everybody wants to meet,

Znate, umesto da priđete osobi koju svako želi da upozna,

go up to the person who is all alone

priđite osobi koja je sasvim sama

and ask them if they want to grab a cup of coffee.

i pitajte je da li bi htela na kafu.

I think what we fear most

Mislim da se najviše bojimo

is that we will be denied the opportunity to fulfill our true potential,

toga da će nam biti uskraćena prilika da ostvarimo svoj puni potencijal,

that we are born to dream

da smo rođeni da bismo maštali

and we might die without ever having the chance.

i da bismo mogli umreti, a da nikada ne dobijemo šansu.

Imagine living in a world

Zamislite život u svetu gde jednostavno prepoznajemo

where we simply recognize that deep, existential fear in one another

taj duboki egzistencijalni strah jedni u drugima

and love one another boldly because we know

i hrabro volimo jedni druge jer znamo

that to be human is to live with that fear.

da biti čovek znači živeti sa tim strahom.

It's time for us to dream in multiple dimensions simultaneously,

Vreme je da maštamo istovremeno u više dimenzija,

and somewhere that transcends all of the wondrous things

a na nekom mestu koje prevazilazi sve te čudesne stvari

koje možemo, hoćemo i moramo da ostvarimo,

we can and will and must do

lies the domain of all the unbelievable things we could be.

nalazi se područje svih neverovatnih stvari koje možemo biti.

It's time we set foot into that dimension

Vreme je da zakoračimo u tu dimenziju

and came out about the fact that we have dreams there, too.

i da priznamo činjenicu da i tamo imamo snove.

If the Moon could dream,

Kada bi Mesec mogao da sanja,

I think that would be its dream for us.

mislim da bi to bio njegov san za nas.

It's an honor to be with you.

Čast je biti ovde sa vama.

Thank you very much.

Hvala vam mnogo.

(Applause)
