So I was born and raised

Dakle, rođen sam i odgojen

in the shadow of a shipyard

u senci brodogradilišta,

in a little town on the northeast coast of England.

u malenom gradu na severoistočnoj obali Engleske.

Some of my earliest memories

Neka od mojih najranijih sećanja

are of giant ships

su ona o džinovskim brodovima

blocking the end of my street,

koji blokiraju kraj moje ulice,

as well as the sun, for a lot of the year.

kao i sunce, većim delom godine.

Every morning as a child,

Kao dete, svakog sam jutra

I'd watch thousands of men walk down that hill

posmatrao hiljade muškaraca kako silaze niz to brdo

to work in the shipyard.

da bi radili na brodogradilištu.

I'd watch those same men

Posmatrao sam te iste muškarce

walking back home every night.

kako se vraćaju kući svake noći.

It has to be said, the shipyard was not

Moram da kažem, brodogradilište

the most pleasant place to live next door to,

nije bilo najprijatniji komšiluk

or indeed work in.

niti radno mesto.

The shipyard was noisy, dangerous,

Brodogradilište je bilo bučno, opasno,

highly toxic,

veoma toksično,

with an appalling health and safety record.

sa užasavajućom zdravstvenom i sigurnosnom reputacijom.

Despite that, the men and women

Uprkos tome, žene i muškarci

who worked on those ships

koji su radili na tim brodovima

were extraordinarily proud of the work they did,

bili su izuzetno ponosni na svoj posao

and justifiably so.

i to s razlogom.

Some of the largest vessels

Neki od najvećih brodova

ever constructed on planet Earth

ikad napravljenih na planeti Zemlji

were built right at the end of my street.

sagrađeni su baš tu, na kraju moje ulice.

My grandfather had been a shipwright,

Moj deda je bio brodograditelj,

and as a child,

i dok sam bio dete,

as there were few other jobs in the town,

pošto nije bilo mnogo drugih poslova,

I would wonder with some anxiety

pitao sam se uz blagu strepnju

whether that would be my destiny too.

da li će to biti i moja sudbina.

I was fairly determined that it wouldn't be.

Bio sam prilično odlučan da ne bude.

I had other dreams,

Imao sam druge snove,

not necessarily practical ones,

ne baš praktične,

but at the age of eight,

ali kad mi je bilo osam godina

I was bequeathed a guitar.

nasledio sam gitaru.

It was a battered old thing

Bila je ofucana,

with five rusty strings, and was out of tune,

s pet zarđalih žica i bila je raštimovana,

but quickly I learned to play it

ali ja sam brzo naučio da sviram

and realized that I'd found a friend for life,

i shvatio sam da sam stekao prijatelja za ceo život,

an accomplice, a co-conspirator

sudionika, saučesnika

in my plan to escape from this surreal

u svom planu da pobegnem iz nadrealnog

industrial landscape.

industrijskog pejzaža.

Well, they say if you dream something hard enough,

Kažu da ako dovoljno čvrsto sanjaš nešto

it will come to pass.

to će i da se ostvari.

Either that, or I was extremely lucky,

To, ili mi se veoma posrećilo,

but this was my dream.

ali to je bio moj san.

I dreamt I would leave this town,

Sanjao sam da ću napustiti taj grad

and just like those ships,

i baš kao ti brodovi,

once they were launched, I'd never come back.

jednom kad isplovim, nikada se vratiti neću.

I dreamt I'd become a writer of songs,

Maštao sam da ću postati pisac pesama,

that I would sing those songs

da ću da pevam te pesme

to vast numbers of people all over the world,

ogromnom broju ljudi širom sveta,

that I would be paid extravagant amounts of money,

da će mi plaćati preterane sume novca,

that I'd become famous,

da ću da budem poznat,

that I'd marry a beautiful woman,

da ću da oženim prelepu ženu,

have children, raise a family,

imam decu, osnujem porodicu,

buy a big house in the country,

kupim veliku kuću na selu,

keep dogs, grow wine,

držim pse, uzgajam vino,

have rooms full of Grammy Awards,

imam sobe ispunjene Gremi nagradama,

platinum discs, and what have you.

platinastim diskovima, i koje čim.

So far, so good, right? (Laughter)

Zasad sve ide kako treba, zar ne? (Smeh)

And then one day, the songs stopped coming,

A onda, jednog dana, pesme prestadoše da navraćaju

and while you've suffered from periods

i dok sam i pre patio od perioda

of writer's block before, albeit briefly,

autorske blokade, iako na kratko,

this is something chronic.

ovo je bilo nešto hronično.

Day after day, you face a blank page,

Dan za danom, suočavaš se s praznim papirom,

and nothing's coming.

a ništa ti se ne javlja.

And those days turned to weeks, and weeks to months,

Dani su postali nedelje, nedelje meseci

and pretty soon those months

a veoma brzo ti meseci

have turned into years

se pretvoriše u godine,

with very little to show for your efforts. No songs.

moj trud je davao male rezultate. Pesama nije bilo.

So you start asking yourself questions.

Pa počneš da se pitaš.

What have I done to offend the gods

Čime sam uvredio bogove

that they would abandon me so?

da me ovako napuste?

Is the gift of songwriting taken away

Da li je dar pisanja pesama uzet

as easily as it seems to have been bestowed?

s istom lakoćom s kojom je, čini se darovan?

Or perhaps there's a more --

Ili možda postoji nekakav dublji,

a deeper psychological reason.

psihološki razlog?

It was always a Faustian pact anyway.

Ionako je to oduvek bio faustovski pakt.

You're rewarded for revealing

Nagrađen si zbog razotkrivanja

your innermost thoughts,

svojih najintimnijih misli,

your private emotions on the page

svoja tajna osećanja stavljaš na papir

for the entertainment of others,

da bi zabavljao druge,

for the analysis, the scrutiny of others,

da bi ih drugi analizirali, ispitivali

and perhaps you've given enough

i možda si poklonio dovoljno

of your privacy away.

svoje privatnosti.

And yet, if you look at your work,

Pa ipak, ako pogledaš svoj rad,

could it be argued that your best work

možeš li da kažeš kako tvoja najbolja dela

wasn't about you at all,

ne govore uopšte o tebi,

it was about somebody else?

već o nekom drugom?

Did your best work occur

Da li su tvoja najbolja dela nastala

when you sidestepped your own ego

kada si zaobišao sopstveni ego

i prestao da pričaš priču o sebi

and you stopped telling your story,

but told someone else's story,

već si pričao nečiju tuđu,

someone perhaps without a voice,

možda nekoga ko nema glas,

where empathetically, you stood in his shoes

gde si s empatijom stao na njegovo mesto

for a while or saw the world through his eyes?

na kratko, ili si video svet njegovim očima?

Well they say, write what you know.

Kažu, piši o onom što poznaješ.

If you can't write about yourself anymore,

Ako ne možeš više da pišeš o sebi,

then who do you write about?

o kome ćeš pisati onda?

So it's ironic that the landscape

Ironično je da će pejzaž,

I'd worked so hard to escape from,

od koga sam toliko bežao

and the community that I'd more or less abandoned

i društvo koje sam više-manje napustio

and exiled myself from

i iz kojeg sam dobrovoljno izbegao,

should be the very landscape,

postati upravo onaj pejzaž,

the very community I would have to return to

ono društvo kome ću se vratiti

to find my missing muse.

kako bih pronašao izgubljenu muzu.

And as soon as I did that,

I čim sam tako uradio,

as soon as I decided to honor the community

čim sam odlučio da odam poštu društvu

I came from and tell their story,

iz kojeg sam potekao i da ispričam njihovu priču,

that the songs started to come thick and fast.

pesme su počele da nadiru u bujicama.

I've described it as a kind of projectile vomiting,

Opisao sam to kao projektilsko povraćanje,

a torrent of ideas, of characters, of voices,

vrtlog ideja, likova, glasova,

of verses, couplets, entire songs

stihova, distiha, čitavih pesama

almost formed whole,

gotovo u potpunosti formiranih,

materialized in front of me

materijalizovanih preda mnom,

as if they'd been bottled up inside me

kao da su bile začepljene u meni

for many, many years.

dugo, dugo godina.

One of the first things I wrote was just a list of names

Prvo sam napisao samo spisak imena

of people I'd known,

ljudi koje sam poznavao

and they become characters

i oni su postali likovi

in a kind of three-dimensional drama,

u nekakvoj trodimenzionalnoj drami,

where they explain who they are, what they do,

u kojoj objašnjavaju ko su, šta rade,

their hopes and their fears for the future.

koji su njihovi snovi i strahovi od budućnosti.

This is Jackie White.

Ovo je Džeki Vajt.

He's the foreman of the shipyard.

On je nadzornik brodogradilišta.

My name is Jackie White,

Moje ime je Džeki Vajt

and I'm foreman of the yard,

i nadzornik sam brodogradilišta ja

and you don't mess with Jackie on this quayside.

i ne diraj Džekija kad si s ove strane keja.

I'm as hard as iron plate,

Težak sam ko ćuskija

woe betide you if you're late

i one što zakasne nek tera sto nevolja,

when we have to push a boat out on the spring tide.

kad moramo da odgurnemo brod u prolećne struje.

Now you can die and hope for heaven,

Ti o smrti i raju maštaj

but you need to work your shift,

tek kad odradiš svoju smenu,

and I'd expect you all to back us to the hilt,

i očekujem da svi momci rame uz rame stanu

for if St. Peter at his gate

jer ako te Sv. Petar na kapiji

were to ask you why you're late,

upita zašto si okasnio ti,

why, you tell him that you had to get a ship built.

pa, reci mu da si morao brod sagraditi.

We build battleships and cruisers

Gradimo ratne brodove i kruzere

for Her Majesty the Queen,

za Njeno veličanstvo kraljicu,

supertankers for Onassis, and all the classes in between,

supertankere za Onazisa i sve klase između.

We built the greatest ship in tonnage

Mi gradimo brodove najveće tovarne zapremine

what the world has ever seen

koje je svet ikada video.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

So having decided to write about other people

Nakon što sam odlučio da pišem o drugim ljudima,

instead of myself,

umesto o sebi,

a further irony is that sometimes you reveal

ironija se nastavila, jer ponekad otkriješ

more about yourself than you'd ever intended.

više o sebi nego što si nameravao.

This song is called "Dead Man's Boots,"

Ova pesma se zove "Čizme mrtvaca",

which is an expression

to je izraz

which describes how difficult it is to get a job;

koji opisuje koliko je teško naći posao,

in other words, you'd only get a job in the shipyard

odnosno, zaposlićeš se na brodogradilištu

if somebody else died.

samo ako neko umre.

Or perhaps your father could finagle you

Ili ako ti otac izdejstvuje

an apprenticeship at the age of 15.

praksu s 15 godina.

But sometimes a father's love can be misconstrued

Ponekad očeva ljubav može biti pogrešno shvaćena

as controlling,

kao sputavanje

and conversely, the scope of his son's ambition

i obrnuto, razmera sinovljeve ambicije

can seem like some pie-in-the-sky fantasy.

se može učiniti poput nedostižne šarene laže.

Thank you.

Hvala.

So whenever they'd launch a big ship,

Kad god bi bilo porinuće velikog broda,

they would invite some dignitary up from London

pozvali bi nekog velikodostojnika, odozgo iz Londona

on the train to make a speech,

da dođe vozom i održi govor,

break a bottle of champagne over the bows,

slomi bocu šampanjca o pramac,

launch it down the slipway

porine ga niz navoz

into the river and out to sea.

u reku, pa u more.

Occasionally on a really important ship,

Povremeno bi na neki izuzetno važan brod

they'd get a member of the royal family to come,

pozvali člana kraljevske porodice da dođe,

Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Anne or somebody.

vojvodu od Edinburga, princezu Anu ili koga drugog.

And you have to remember, it wasn't that long ago

I morate imati na umu da je ne tako davno

that the royal family in England

u Engleskoj postojalo verovanje

were considered to have magical healing powers.

da kraljevska porodica ima magične isceliteljske moći.

Sick children were held up in crowds

Podizali bi bolesnu decu u gomili

to try and touch the cloak

kako bi pokušala da dotaknu plašt

of the king or the queen to cure them

kralja ili kraljice i izleče se

of some terrible disease.

od neke grozne bolesti.

It wasn't like that in my day, but we still got very excited.

U moje vreme nije bilo tako, ali i dalje smo bili uzbuđeni.

So it's a launch day, it's a Saturday,

Dakle, dan je porinuća, subota,

and my mother has dressed me up in my Sunday best.

i majka me je obukla u najbolje nedeljno odelo.

I'm not very happy with her.

Nisam zadovoljan.

All the kids are out in the street,

Sva deca su na ulici,

and we have little Union Jacks to wave,

mašu malenim Junion Džekovima,

and at the top of the hill,

a na vrhu brda

there's a motorcycle cortege appears.

pojavljuje se povorka motociklista.

In the middle of the motorcycles,

Između motociklista

there's a big, black Rolls-Royce.

nalazi se veliki, crni Rols-Rojs.

Inside the Rolls-Royce is the Queen Mother.

Unutar Rols-Rojsa je Kraljica majka.

This is a big deal.

To je velika stvar.

So the procession is moving

Povorka se kreće

at a stately pace down my street,

dostojanstveno niz moju ulicu

and as it approaches my house,

i, kako se približava mojoj kući,

I start to wave my flag vigorously,

ja počinjem energično da mašem mojom zastavom,

and there is the Queen Mother.

kad eto je Kraljica majka.

I see her, and she seems to see me.

Vidim je i čini se da i ona vidi mene.

She acknowledges me. She waves, and she smiles.

Primećuje me. Maše i smeši se.

And I wave my flag even more vigorously.

A ja mašem svojom zastavom još energičnije.

We're having a moment,

Delimo trenutak,

me and the Queen Mother.

ja i Kraljica majka.

She's acknowledged me.

Primetila me je.

And then she's gone.

I potom nestala.

Well, I wasn't cured of anything.

Pa, nisam izlečen ni od čega.

It was the opposite, actually.

Bilo je obratno, zapravo.

I was infected.

Bio sam zaražen.

I was infected with an idea.

Zaražen idejom.

I don't belong in this street.

Ne pripadam ovoj ulici.

I don't want to live in that house.

Ne želim da živim u toj kući.

I don't want to end up in that shipyard.

Ne želim da završim na tom brodogradilištu.

I want to be in that car. (Laughter)

Želim da budem u tom autu. (Smeh)

I want a bigger life.

Želim značajniji život.

I want a life beyond this town.

Želim život van ovog grada.

I want a life that's out of the ordinary.

Želim život koji je iznad proseka.

It's my right.

Imam pravo na to.

It's my right as much as hers.

Imam pravo na to koliko i ona.

And so here I am at TED,

I evo me na TED-u,

I suppose to tell that story,

kako bih, valjda, ispričao tu priču

and I think it's appropriate to say the obvious

i mislim da je prikladno istaći očigledno

that there's a symbiotic and intrinsic link

da postoji simbiotska i urođena veza

between storytelling and community,

između pripovedanja i društva,

between community and art,

između društva i umetnosti,

between community and science and technology,

između društva i nauke i tehnologije,

between community and economics.

između društva i ekonomije.

It's my belief that

Moje ubeđenje je da su

abstract economic theory

apstraktne ekonomske teorije

that denies the needs of community

koje negiraju potrebe društva,

or denies the contribution that community makes

ili koje negiraju doprinos društva

to economy is shortsighted, cruel

ekonomiji, kratkovide, okrutne

and untenable.

i neodbranjive.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

The fact is, whether you're a rock star

Činjenica je da bilo da ste rok zvezda

or whether you're a welder in a shipyard,

ili varilac na brodogradilištu

or a tribesman in the upper Amazon,

ili pripadnik plemena iz gornjeg Amazona

or the queen of England,

ili kraljica Engleske,

at the end of the day,

na kraju dana

we're all in the same boat.
