How to stay calm when you know you'll be stressed | Daniel Levitin | TED

Translator: Dilnoza Nishanova Reviewer: Nazarbek Nazarov

Bir necha yil oldin, o’z uyimga yugurib kirdim.

Endi uyga kelgandim,

chamasi yarim tunda jonsiz Monreal qishida,

shahar narigi chekkasidagi, do’stim Jeffnikiga

A few years ago, I broke into my own house.

borardim va old ayvondagi termometr minus 40 darajani ko’rsatayotgan edi --

I had just driven home,

it was around midnight in the dead of Montreal winter,

Selsiy yoki Farangeytdaligini so’rab ovora bo’lmang,

I had been visiting my friend, Jeff, across town,

minus 40 bu ikki shkala uchrashadigan joy --

and the thermometer on the front porch read minus 40 degrees --

juda sovuq edi.

Old ayvonda cho’ntagimga qo’limni solib turar ekanman,

and don't bother asking if that's Celsius or Fahrenheit,

men kalitim yo’qligini bildim.

minus 40 is where the two scales meet --

Aslida, ularni oynadan ko’ra olgan edim,

it was very cold.

ular qoldirib ketgan ovqat yeydigan xonadagi stol ustida edi.

And as I stood on the front porch fumbling in my pockets,

Men tez yugurib, hamma tarafdan eshik va oynalarni tortib ko’rdim,

I found I didn't have my keys.

In fact, I could see them through the window,

ular mahkam yopilgan edi.

Chilangar chaqirishni o’yladim -- telefonim bor edi,

lying on the dining room table where I had left them.

lekin yarim tunda, chilangar kelishi ko’p vaqt olar edi,

So I quickly ran around and tried all the other doors and windows,

and they were locked tight.

va sovuq edi.

I thought about calling a locksmith -- at least I had my cellphone,

Men do’stim Jeffning uyiga tunga bora olmas edim, chunki

but at midnight, it could take a while for a locksmith to show up,

kelasi tong ertalab Yevropaga uchib ketishim kerak edi,

and it was cold.

men passport va chamadonimni olishim kerak edi.

Shunday qilib, umidsiz, izg’irin sovuqda,

I couldn't go back to my friend Jeff's house for the night

men ulkan tosh topdim va oynani sindirdim,

because I had an early flight to Europe the next morning,

and I needed to get my passport and my suitcase.

oyna parchalarini tozaladim,

So, desperate and freezing cold,

sudralib bordim,

parcha karta topib, ochilishiga tirab qo’ydim,

I found a large rock and I broke through the basement window,

ertalab aeroportga ketishda uy egasiga qo’ng’iroq qilib

cleared out the shards of glass,

mendan tuzatishni so’rashini angladim.

I crawled through,

I found a piece of cardboard and taped it up over the opening,

Bu qimmatga tushadi,

lekin ehtimol yarim tunda chilangar chaqirishdan arzonroqdir,

figuring that in the morning, on the way to the airport,

shunda anglab yetdimki, bunday vaziyatdan quruq chiqayotgan ekanman.

I could call my contractor and ask him to fix it.

This was going to be expensive,

but probably no more expensive than a middle-of-the-night locksmith,

Hozir, men amaliyotchi nevrologman

va men stress ostida miya qanday ishlashini biroz bilaman.

so I figured, under the circumstances, I was coming out even.

U yurak urishiningizni tezlashtiradigan kortizol ishlab chiqaradi,

Now, I'm a neuroscientist by training

adrenalin darajangizni o’zgartiradi, fikr-

and I know a little bit about how the brain performs under stress.

lashingizni qorong’ulashtiradi.

Kelasi tong,

It releases cortisol that raises your heart rate,

biroz uxlab turganimda,

it modulates adrenaline levels

oynadagi teshik va uy egasiga qo’ng’iroq qilishni

and it clouds your thinking.

o’ylab, izg’irinda

So the next morning,

temperatura va Yevropada

when I woke up on too little sleep,

kelayotgan uchrashuvlar haqida qayg’urib,

worrying about the hole in the window,

bilasizmi, miyamdagi barcha kortizol bilan

and a mental note that I had to call my contractor,

fikrlashim qiyin edi,

and the freezing temperatures,

lekin buning qiyinligini bilmasdim, chunki bu haqda o’ylolmasdimam.

and the meetings I had upcoming in Europe,

and, you know, with all the cortisol in my brain,

(Kulgi)

Aeroportdagi tekshiruv markaziga bormagunimcha passport

my thinking was cloudy,

but I didn't know it was cloudy because my thinking was cloudy.

yo’qligini bilmadim.

(Kulgi)

(Laughter)

Shunda qor va muzda uyga chopdim, 40 minutda,

And it wasn't until I got to the airport check-in counter,

passportimni oldim, aeroportga yana chopdim,

that I realized I didn't have my passport.

(Laughter)

vaqtida bordim, lekin

So I raced home in the snow and ice, 40 minutes,

o’rnimni boshqa odamga berib bo’lishgan edi,

men samolyot orqasi, hojatxonalar oldida turib qoldim,

got my passport, raced back to the airport,

8 soatlik yo’lda qimirlamaydigan o’rindiqda.

I made it just in time,

but they had given away my seat to someone else,

Xo’sh, o’sha 8 soat va uyqusizlikda o’ylashga ko’p vaqtim bor edi.

so I got stuck in the back of the plane, next to the bathrooms,

(Kulgi)

in a seat that wouldn't recline, on an eight-hour flight.

Va men o’ylanishni boshladim, yomon narsalarni sodir

bo’lishini oldin olishga qilishim mumkin

Well, I had a lot of time to think during those eight hours and no sleep.

bo’lgan qandaydir sistema bormi?

(Laughter)

Yoki kamida yomon narsa sodir bo’lsa,

And I started wondering, are there things that I can do,

uning butunlay katastrofa bo’lishining ehtimolligini kamaytiradigan.

systems that I can put into place,

that will prevent bad things from happening?

Shu haqida o’ylashni boshladim,

Or at least if bad things happen,

lekin fikrlarim taxminan bir oydan keyingacha tiniqlashmadi.

will minimize the likelihood of it being a total catastrophe.

Men kasbdoshim, Nobel mukofoti sovrindori, Danny Kahneman bilan kechki

So I started thinking about that,

ovqat qilayotgan edim va negadiram uyalib oynamni sindirganimni aytdim,

but my thoughts didn't crystallize until about a month later.

va, bilasizmi, passportimni esdan chiqarganimni,

I was having dinner with my colleague, Danny Kahneman, the Nobel Prize winner,

va Danny menga

istiqbolli o’tmishga nazar tashlashni mashq qilayotganini aytdi.

and I somewhat embarrassedly told him about having broken my window,

and, you know, forgotten my passport,

(Kulgi)

U buni bir necha yil oldin psixolog Gary Klein

and Danny shared with me

that he'd been practicing something called prospective hindsight.

yozganidan olganini aytdi, u

o’limdan oldin deb nomlanardi.

(Laughter)

O’limdan oldin nima ekanligini bilasiz.

It's something that he had gotten from the psychologist Gary Klein,

Qachonki falokat bo’lsa,

mutaxassislar kelib nima xato ketganini topishga harakat qilishadi, to’g’rimi?

who had written about it a few years before,

also called the pre-mortem.

Xo’sh, o’limdan oldingida, Danny tushuntirdi,

Now, you all know what the postmortem is.

Whenever there's a disaster,

kelajakka qarab, nima xato ketishi mumkin- ligini topishga harakat qilasiz, keyin

a team of experts come in and they try to figure out what went wrong, right?

bu narsa sodir bo’lishini oldini olish yo zararini

Well, in the pre-mortem, Danny explained,

kamaytirishga nima qilish mumkin- ligini topishga harakat qilasiz.

you look ahead and you try to figure out all the things that could go wrong,

Bugun siz bilan gaplashmoqchi bo’lgan narsam

and then you try to figure out what you can do

o’limdan oldingi shaklda qilish mumkin narsalardir.

to prevent those things from happening, or to minimize the damage.

Ba’zilari aniq, ba’zilari esa unchalik aniq emas.

So what I want to talk to you about today

Men aniqlaridan boshlayman.

are some of the things we can do in the form of a pre-mortem.

Uy atrofida, oson yo’qoladigan narsalar uchun joy yasang.

Some of them are obvious, some of them are not so obvious.

Hozir, bu odatiy narsadek eshitilishi mumkin va aslida shunday,

I'll start with the obvious ones.

Around the home, designate a place for things that are easily lost.

fazoviy xotiramiz ishlashiga asoslangan

buni qo’llab quvvatlaydigan ko’p fan, ilm mavjud.

Now, this sounds like common sense, and it is,

Miyada gippokamp degan o’n ming yillardan beri

but there's a lot of science to back this up,

shakllanib kelayotgan, muhim narsalarning

based on the way our spatial memory works.

joylashuvini kuzatib boradigan struktura bor --

There's a structure in the brain called the hippocampus,

quduq qayerda, qayerdan baliq topish mumkinligi,

that evolved over tens of thousands of years,

mevali daraxtlarning o’sha shoxi,

to keep track of the locations of important things --

qayerda do’stona va dushman qabilalarning yashashi.

Gippokamp bu Londondagi

where the well is, where fish can be found,

taksi haydovchilari kengayadigan miyamiz qismidir.

that stand of fruit trees,

Bu olmaxonlarga yong’oqlarni topishga yordam beradigan miya qismi.

where the friendly and enemy tribes live.

The hippocampus is the part of the brain

Hayratga tushayotgan bo’lsangiz, aslida tajriba qilgan,

that in London taxicab drivers becomes enlarged.

olmaxonlarning hid sezish tizimini olib tashlagan va ular

It's the part of the brain that allows squirrels to find their nuts.

yong’oqlarini hamon topisha olgan.

Ular hidni emas, gippokampni ishlatishayotgan edi,

And if you're wondering, somebody actually did the experiment

bu nozik ravishda miyadagi narsalarni topish qismida rivojlangan.

where they cut off the olfactory sense of the squirrels,

and they could still find their nuts.

Lekin bu ko’p qimirlamaydigan narsalar uchun juda yaxshi,

They weren't using smell, they were using the hippocampus,

this exquisitely evolved mechanism in the brain for finding things.

siljiydigan narsalar uchun uncha yaxshi emas.

Shuning uchun mashina kalitlar, ko’zoynak va passportlarimizni yo’qotib qo’yamiz.

But it's really good for things that don't move around much,

Shuning uchun uyda, kalitlar uchun joy yasang --

not so good for things that move around.

eshik oldida ilgich, balki dekorativ kosa.

So this is why we lose car keys and reading glasses and passports.

Passportingiz uchun, ma’lum bir tortma.

Ko’zoynaklaringiz uchun, ma’lum bir stol.

So in the home, designate a spot for your keys --

Agarda joy yasab, ehtiyotkor bo’lsangiz,

a hook by the door, maybe a decorative bowl.

For your passport, a particular drawer.

narsalaringizni qidirayotganingizda yaxshiroq bo’ladi.

For your reading glasses, a particular table.

Sayohatdachi?

Kredit karta, haydovchilik guvohnoma,

If you designate a spot and you're scrupulous about it,

passportingizni telefonga rasmga oling, cloudda

your things will always be there when you look for them.

turishi uchun pochtadan o’zingizga yuboring.

What about travel?

Bu narsalar yo’qotilsa yoki og’irlansa, siz o’rniga narsani qila olasiz.

Take a cell phone picture of your credit cards,

your driver's license, your passport,

Xo’sh bular nisbatan ancha aniq narsalar.

mail it to yourself so it's in the cloud.

Esingizda bo’lsa, stress ostida miyangiz kortizol ishlab chiqaradi.

If these things are lost or stolen, you can facilitate replacement.

Kortizol zaharli va u fikrlashni qorong’ulashtiradi.

Now these are some rather obvious things.

O’limdan oldin mashqining bir qismi

Remember, when you're under stress, the brain releases cortisol.

stress ostida eng yaxshi holatda emas- ligingizni anglashdir va siz sistemalarni

Cortisol is toxic, and it causes cloudy thinking.

o’rniga qo’yishingiz kerak.

So part of the practice of the pre-mortem

Balkim tibbiy qaror qilishga yuzlanishdan

is to recognize that under stress you're not going to be at your best,

ko’ra qiyinroq vaziyat yo’qdir.

and you should put systems in place.

Qachondir, hammamiz o’sha holatda bo’lamiz,

And there's perhaps no more stressful a situation

qachonki biz o’z kelajagimizdagi tibbiy holat

than when you're confronted with a medical decision to make.

haqida qaror qilishimiz yoki yaqinlarimizga qaror qilishda

And at some point, all of us are going to be in that position,

yordam berishimiz kerak bo’ladi.

Men o’sha haqida gapirmoqchiman.

where we have to make a very important decision

Men ma’lum bir tibbiy holat haqida gapirmoqchiman.

about the future of our medical care or that of a loved one,

Lekin bu har qanday tibbiy qaror qilish uchub model sifatida xizmat qiladi,

to help them with a decision.

And so I want to talk about that.

va albatta moliyaviy qaror qilish, ijtimoiy qaror qilish jarayonlarida ham --

And I'm going to talk about a very particular medical condition.

har qanday faktlarning to’g’ri

But this stands as a proxy for all kinds of medical decision-making,

baholashdan foyda keltiradigan qarorda.

and indeed for financial decision-making, and social decision-making --

Tasavvur qiling siz shifokorga bordingiz va shifokor aytdi:

any kind of decision you have to make

“Labaratoriyadan natijalaringizni oldim, xolestrin darajangiz ozgina yuqori ekan”.

that would benefit from a rational assessment of the facts.

Xo’sh, hammangiz bilasiz, yuqori xolestrin

So suppose you go to your doctor and the doctor says,

kardiologik kasalliklar, yuruk xuruji, falajning ehtimolligini

"I just got your lab work back, your cholesterol's a little high."

ko’taradi.

Now, you all know that high cholesterol

O’ylayotgan bo’lishingiz

yuqori xolestrin bo’lishi yaxshi narsa emas,

is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease,

va shifokor aytadi: “Sizga xolesterinningizni kamaytiradigan

dori - statin bermoqchiman”.

heart attack, stroke.

And so you're thinking

Ehtimol siz statin haqida eshitgansiz,

having high cholesterol isn't the best thing,

bilasizki bugungi kunda ko’p yozib berilayotgan dorilar

and so the doctor says, "You know, I'd like to give you a drug

orasida, balki

that will help you lower your cholesterol, a statin."

siz buni olayotgan insonlarni ham bilasiz.

Siz o’ylayapsiz, “Ha! Menga statin bering”.

And you've probably heard of statins,

you know that they're among the most widely prescribed drugs

Lekin shu vaqtda siz savol berishingiz kerak,

in the world today,

ko’pchilik shifokorlar gapirishni

you probably even know people who take them.

yaxshi ko’rmaydigan va farmastevtik kompaniyalar

And so you're thinking, "Yeah! Give me the statin."

undan kam gapirishni istaydigan statistikani. so’rashingiz kerak.

But there's a question you should ask at this point,

a statistic you should ask for

Bu davolash uchun ketadigan son.

that most doctors don't like talking about,

Hop, DUKS, nima bu?

and pharmaceutical companies like talking about even less.

Bu son bir insonga yordam berilishidan oldin dori ichish,

jarrohligi qilinadigan yoki qandaydir

It's for the number needed to treat.

tibbiy muolaja oladigan insonlardir.

Now, what is this, the NNT?

It's the number of people that need to take a drug

O’ylashingiz mumkin, bu qanday axmoqona statistika?

Son 1 bo’lishi kerak edi.

or undergo a surgery or any medical procedure

Shifokorim menga yordam bermaydigan narsani

before one person is helped.

yozib bermaydi.

Lekin aslida, tibbiy jarayon bunday ishlamaydi.

And you're thinking, what kind of crazy statistic is that?

Bu shifokor aybi emas,

The number should be one.

kimning aybi bo’lsa ham, bu menga o’xshash olimlarning aybi.

My doctor wouldn't prescribe something to me

if it's not going to help.

Buning ostida mexanizmlarni hali to’liq o’rganib chiqmadik.

But actually, medical practice doesn't work that way.

Lekin GlaxoSmithKline baholashicha,

And it's not the doctor's fault,

90% dorilar faqat 30%dan 50% gacha odamlarga ta’sir qiladi.

if it's anybody's fault, it's the fault of scientists like me.

We haven't figured out the underlying mechanisms well enough.

Xo’sh davolanish uchun ketgan son keng yozib beriladigan statin uchun

But GlaxoSmithKline estimates

that 90 percent of the drugs work in only 30 to 50 percent of the people.

necha deb o’ylaysiz?

Bittaga yordam berishidan oldin nechta odam olishi kerak?

So the number needed to treat for the most widely prescribed statin,

300.

Bu Bloomberg.com tomonidan

mustaqil ravishda tasdiqlangan amaliyotchi izlanuvchilar jerome

what do you suppose it is?

How many people have to take it before one person is helped?

Groopman va Pamela Hartzbandning izlanishlariga ko’ra.

300.

Men buni o’zim ko’rib chiqdim.

This is according to research

by research practitioners Jerome Groopman and Pamela Hartzband,

Yiliga 300 ta odam bitta yurak xuruji,

falaj yoki boshqa o’xshash falokatni oldini olishi uchun ichishi kerak.

independently confirmed by Bloomberg.com.

I ran through the numbers myself.

Hozir o’ylashingiz mumkin:

300 people have to take the drug for a year

“Hop, xolestrinni kamaytirish ehtimolligi 300dan bir.

before one heart attack, stroke or other adverse event is prevented.

Nima qilibdi? Menga beravering shifokor”.

Lekin shu vaqtda yana bir statistikani so’rashingiz kerak,

Now you're probably thinking,

"Well, OK, one in 300 chance of lowering my cholesterol.

va u: “Undan keyingi alomatlarini ayting”. To’g’rimi?

Xo’sh bu ma’lum dorida

Why not, doc? Give me the prescription anyway."

alomatlar besh foiz bemorlarda kuzatilar ekan.

But you should ask at this point for another statistic,

and that is, "Tell me about the side effects." Right?

Bunga qo’rqinchli narsalar kiradi -

muskullarni zaiflashtirish va bo’g’im og’rig’i, ichak stressi --

So for this particular drug,

the side effects occur in five percent of the patients.

lekin o’ylayotgan bo’lishingiz mumkin,

And they include terrible things --

“Besh foiz, dori ichsam men bilan sodir

debilitating muscle and joint pain, gastrointestinal distress --

bo’lish ehtimoli kam”.

To’xtab turing.

Esingizda tursin stressda aniq fikrlamayapsiz.

but now you're thinking, "Five percent,

O’sha vaqtning o’zida mulohaza yuritmaslik uchun oldindan

not very likely it's going to happen to me,

I'll still take the drug."

nima qilishning ustida ishlab boring.

But wait a minute.

Remember under stress you're not thinking clearly.

300 ta odam dori ichdi, to’g’rimi? Bittasiga yordam

So think about how you're going to work through this ahead of time,

beradi, 300 taning 5%ida alomatlar kuzatiladi,

so you don't have to manufacture the chain of reasoning on the spot.

bu 15 ta odam.

Siz doridan zarar topishingiz ehtimolligi yordam olishingizdan

300 people take the drug, right? One person's helped,

five percent of those 300 have side effects,

15 marta balandroq.

that's 15 people.

Men sizga statinni olish yoki olmaslikni aytmyapman.

You're 15 times more likely to be harmed by the drug

Shunchaki shifokor bilan maslahatlashingiz kerakligini aytyapman.

than you are to be helped by the drug.

Tibbiy etika buni talab

etadi, xabardor rozilik prinsipi bir qismidir.

Now, I'm not saying whether you should take the statin or not.

Sizning bunday ma’lumot olishga, tavakkal qilishni xohlashingiz yoki

I'm just saying you should have this conversation with your doctor.

yo’qligi haqidagi suhbatni boshlashga haqqingiz bor.

Medical ethics requires it,

it's part of the principle of informed consent.

Hozir siz hayratga solish

You have the right to have access to this kind of information

uchun bu sonni osmondan oldim deb o’ylashingiz mumkin,

lekin aslida bu juda odatiy, bu davolanishi kerak bo’lgan son.

to begin the conversation about whether you want to take the risks or not.

50 yoshdan katta erkak kishilarga qilinadigan eng keng jarrohliklik

Now you might be thinking

I've pulled this number out of the air for shock value,

saraton uchun prostatani olib tashlashga

but in fact it's rather typical, this number needed to treat.

davolanish uchun kerak bo’lgan son 49.

For the most widely performed surgery on men over the age of 50,

To’g’ri, bitta odamga yordam berilishiga 49 ta jarrohlik amalga oshiriilishi kerak.

removal of the prostate for cancer,

Alomatlar bemorlarning 50%ida kuzatiladi.

the number needed to treat is 49.

That's right, 49 surgeries are done for every one person who's helped.

Bu o’z ichiga holsizlik, bo’g’imlarning ishdan chiqishi,

tutib turolmaslik, rektal terlash, najas tutib

And the side effects in that case occur in 50 percent of the patients.

turolmaslikni oladi.

Agar omadli bo’lsangiz va bular borlarning 50% idan biri bo’lsangiz,

They include impotence, erectile dysfunction,

urinary incontinence, rectal tearing,

ular uzog’i bir yoki ikki yil bo’ladi.

fecal incontinence.

O’limdan oldinning asosiy g’oyasi suhbatni rivojlantiradigan

And if you're lucky, and you're one of the 50 percent who has these,

so’rashingiz mumkin bo’lgan savollarni

they'll only last for a year or two.

vaqtdan oldin o’ylashdir.

So the idea of the pre-mortem is to think ahead of time

Siz hammasini o’z vaqtida o’ylashni xohlamaysiz. Shuningdek,

to the questions that you might be able to ask

hayot sifati kabi narsalar haqida ham o’ylashni xohlaysiz.

that will push the conversation forward.

Chunki ba’zida sizda tanlov bo’ladi,

siz kamroq lekin og’riqsiz hayotni xohlaysizmi,

You don't want to have to manufacture all of this on the spot.

yoki uzunroq lekin oxiriga kelib juda og’riqli hayotnimi?

And you also want to think about things like quality of life.

Bular oila, yaqinlaringiz bilan hozir gaplashish,

Because you have a choice oftentimes,

do you I want a shorter life that's pain-free,

o’ylashingiz kerak bo’lgan narsalar.

or a longer life that might have a great deal of pain towards the end?

Ayni qaynoq damda fikringizni o’zgartirishingiz

mumkin, lekin kamida bunday fikrlash bilan mashq qilgansiz.

These are things to talk about and think about now,

Esingizda bo’lsa, miyamiz stress ostida kortizol ishlab chiqaradi

with your family and your loved ones.

You might change your mind in the heat of the moment,

va bu paytda sodir bo’ladigan narsalardan biri

but at least you're practiced with this kind of thinking.

bir necha sistemalarning o’chishidir.

Remember, our brain under stress releases cortisol,

Bunga evolutsion sabab bor.

Yirtqich bilan yuzma-yuz paytda, sizga hazm qilish sistema yoki

and one of the things that happens at that moment

libido yoki immun sistemangiz kerak bo’lmaydi,

is a whole bunch on systems shut down.

chunki tanangiz bu narsalarga metobolizm kengaytirsa va

There's an evolutionary reason for this.

Face-to-face with a predator, you don't need your digestive system,

tezda javob bermasangiz, sherning

tushligiga aylanishingiz mumkin, va bularning hech qaysinisi kerak bo’lmaydi.

or your libido, or your immune system,

because if you're body is expending metabolism on those things

Afsuski,

bunday stress vaqtlarida butunlay ishdan chiqadigan narsalardan

and you don't react quickly,

you might become the lion's lunch, and then none of those things matter.

Danny Kahneman va kasbdoshlari

ko’rsatganidek, to’g’ri va mantiqiy fikrlashdir.

Unfortunately,

one of the things that goes out the window during those times of stress

Demak biz bunday vaziyatlarga oldindan fikrlashga

is rational, logical thinking,

o’rganishimiz kerak.

as Danny Kahneman and his colleagues have shown.

O’ylashimcha, bu yerda hammamizning nuq- sonliligimizni bilish muhim.

So we need to train ourselves to think ahead

to these kinds of situations.

Hammamiz hozir yoki keyin yiqilamiz.

I think the important point here is recognizing that all of us are flawed.

Bu yerdagu asosiy g’oya oldindan bu mag’lubiyatlarni o’ylash,

ularning zararini kamaytirishga sistemalar qo’yish yoki

We all are going to fail now and then.

bu yomon voqealarni birinchi o’rinda sodir bo’lishidan saqlash.

The idea is to think ahead to what those failures might be,

Qorli Montrealdagi tunga qaytsak,

to put systems in place that will help minimize the damage,

sayohatdan qaytganimdan so’ng,

or to prevent the bad things from happening in the first place.

Shartnomamchi menga kombinatsiyali qulfni eshik oldiga o’rnatib berdi,

Getting back to that snowy night in Montreal,

oldingi eshikka qulf bilan, oson esda qoladigan kombinatsiya.

when I got back from my trip,

Tan olishim kerak,

I had my contractor install a combination lock next to the door,

Mening hali ham ko’plab saralab chiqmagan pochtalarim

with a key to the front door in it, an easy to remember combination.

va ko’rib chiqmagan ko’plab pochtalarim bor.

Men butunlay tartibli emasman,

And I have to admit,

tartiblilik asta-sekinlik bilan erishiladi deb bilaman,

I still have piles of mail that haven't been sorted,

va men u tomon boryapman.

and piles of emails that I haven't gone through.

Rahmat kattakon.

(Olqishlar)

So I'm not completely organized,

but I see organization as a gradual process,

and I'm getting there.

Thank you very much.

(Applause)
