What adults can learn from kids | Adora Svitak

Translator: Gulnoza Yakubova Reviewer: Farrukh Yakubov

Now, I want to start with a question:

Endi, men savol bilan boshlamoqchiman:

When was the last time you were called "childish"?

Qachon oxirgi marta sizni bola deb atashgan?

For kids like me,

Menga o'hshagan bolalar uchun,

being called childish can be a frequent occurrence.

bola deb atalish odatiy holat.

Every time we make irrational demands,

Har safar, bizlar aqlsiz talablar talab qilamiz,

exhibit irresponsible behavior,

ma'suliyatsiz hulq namoyon qilamiz,

or display any other signs of being normal American citizens,

yoki odatiy Amerika fuqarosi bo'lganligimiz uchun

boshqa har hil ishoralarni namoyon qilamiz,

we are called childish.

bizni bolalarcha harakat qiladi deb atashadi,

bu esa meni juda ham asabiylashtiradi.

Which really bothers me.

After all, take a look at these events:

Hullas, mana bu voqealarga e'tibor bering:

Imperialism and colonization,

Imperializm va mustamlakachilik,

world wars, George W. Bush.

jahon urushlari, Jorj W. Bush.

Ask yourself, who's responsible? Adults.

O'zingizdan so'rang: Kim javobgar? O'smirlar.

Now, what have kids done?

Ho'sh, yosh bolalar nima ishlar bajardi?

Well, Anne Frank touched millions

Anna Frank genotsid haqidagi o'zining ta'sirchan ma'lumotlari bilan

with her powerful account of the Holocaust.

millionlab insonlarning qalbiga yetib borgan,

Ruby Bridges helped to end segregation in the United States.

Ruby Bridjs Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlaridagi insonlarni ajratishni tugatishga yordam berdi,

And, most recently,

va juda yaqin paytlarda,

Charlie Simpson helped to raise 120,000 pounds for Haiti,

Charlie Simpson kichkina velosipedida

Gaiti uchun 120,000 funt

on his little bike.

to'plashga yordam berdi.

So as you can see evidenced by such examples,

Shunday qilib, shu voqealardan ko'rib turganingizdek,

age has absolutely nothing to do with it.

bunday ishlarni bajarish uchun yoshning hech ham ahamiyati yo'q.

The traits the word "childish" addresses are seen so often in adults,

Bolalarcha degan so'z anglatadigan hususiyatlar

ko'pincha o'smirlarda ko'rinadi.

that we should abolish this age-discriminatory word,

Shu sababli biz yoshga qarab insonlarni ajratadigan so'zlarni ishlatmasligimiz kerak.

when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility

Ayniqsa, ma'suliyatsizlik va aqlsiz fikrlashga aloqador

hulqni tanqid qilishda yosh bo'yicha insonlarni ajratmasligimiz kerak.

and irrational thinking.

(Qarsaklar)

(Applause)

Thank you.

Rahmat sizlarga.

Then again, who's to say that certain types of irrational thinking

Yana, aqlsiz fikrlashning aniq bir turlari

ayni dunyoga kerak emas

aren't exactly what the world needs?

deb kim ayta oladi?

Maybe you've had grand plans before,

Balki, avvallari sizning yuksak rejalaringiz bo'lgandir,

but stopped yourself, thinking,

lekin shunday o'ylab, o'zingizni to'xtatgandirsiz:

"That's impossible," or "That costs too much,"

Buning iloji yo'q yoki bu juda qimmatga tushadi,

or "That won't benefit me."

yoki buning menga foydasi yo'q.

For better or worse, we kids aren't hampered as much

Yahshilikkami yoki yomonmi, biz yosh bolalar biror ishlarni

when it comes to thinking about reasons why not to do things.

nima uchun bajarmaslik kerak deb o'ylshga kelganda, unchalik ko'p qiynalib o'ylamaymiz.

Kids can be full of inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking,

Bolalar jo'shqin orzularga va

umidga to'la fikrlarga boy bo'ladi.

like my wish that no one went hungry,

Masalan, mening hech kim och qolmasligi haqidagi istagim,

or that everything were free, a kind of utopia.

yoki hamma narsa utopia kabi tekin bo'lshini o'ylaganim kabi.

How many of you still dream like that, and believe in the possibilities?

Sizlarning orangizda qancha odamlar hali ham shunday orzu qiladilar

va imkoniyatlarga ishonadilar?

Sometimes a knowledge of history and the past failures of Utopian ideals

Ba'zan, bilim tarixi

va utopia ideallarining o'tgan omadsizliklari

o'rtiqcha yuk bo'lishi mumkin,

can be a burden,

because you know that if everything were free,

chunki bilasizki, agar hamma narsa tekin bo'lsa

then the food stocks would become depleted and scarce and lead to chaos.

ovqat zahiralari tugab qolardi

va bu yetishmovchilik va tartibsizlikka olib kelardi.

On the other hand, we kids still dream about perfection.

Boshqa bir tomondan,

biz yosh bolalar hali ham komillik haqida orzu qilamiz.

And that's a good thing, because in order to make anything a reality,

Bu yahshi hislat, chunki

biror narsani amalga oshirish uchun,

you have to dream about it first.

avval, siz u haqida orzu qilishingiz kerak.

Ko'p jihatdan, bizning fikrlashga bo'lgan jasurligimiz

In many ways, our audacity to imagine

helps push the boundaries of possibility.

imkoniyatlarning chegaralarini engishga yordam beradi.

For instance, the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington,

Masalan, Tacoma, Washingtondagi Oyna Muzeyida

my home state -- yoohoo, Washington!

mani tug'ilib o'sgan shtatim - Washingtonda-

(Applause)

(Qarsaklar)

has a program called Kids Design Glass,

Bolalar Oyna Dizayni degan dastur bor

and kids draw their own ideas for glass art.

va bolalar oyna san'ati uchun o'zlarining fikrlarini bildiradilar.

The resident artist said they got some of their best ideas

Endi, mahalliy san'atkor aytishicha ular shu dastur orqali

ba'zi juda yahshi g'oyalarni oldilar.

from the program, because kids don't think about the limitations

Chunki bolalar oynani mahsus shaklga keltirish

of how hard it can be to blow glass into certain shapes,

qanday qiyinligi haqidagi qiyinchiliklarni o'ylamaydi.

Ular yahshi g'oyalarni o'ylaydi.

they just think of good ideas.

Now, when you think of glass, you might think of colorful Chihuly designs,

Ho'sh, siz oyna haqida o'ylaganingizda,

siz rangba rang Chihuly dizaynlari

or maybe Italian vases,

yoki Italiya vazalari haqida o'ylarsiz.

but kids challenge glass artists to go beyond that,

Lekin bolalar o'yna san'atkorlarini bundan ham yiroq bo'lgan

into the realm of brokenhearted snakes

parchalangan yurakli ilonlar hayolotiga

and bacon boys, who you can see has meat vision.

va cho'chqa go'sht bolalar, ya'ni go'shtli nazar bilan qaraydigan bolalar olamiga kirib ijodkorlik qilishga undaydi.

(Kulgi)

(Laughter)

Now, our inherent wisdom doesn't have to be insider's knowledge.

Endi, bizning tug'ma aqlimiz

ichki aql bo'lishi shart emas.

Kids already do a lot of learning from adults,

Yosh bolalar o'smirlardan ko'p narsalarni o'rganadilar

va bizning sizlarga aytadigan ko'p fikrlarimiz bor.

and we have a lot to share.

I think that adults should start learning from kids.

Mani fikrimcha, o'smirlar yosh bolalardan o'rganishni boshlashlari kerak.

Now, I do most of my speaking

Hozir man ko'pincha ta'lim sohasidagi insonlarning oldida, o'qituvchi va talabalarning oldida

in front of an education crowd -- teachers and students,

gapiraman va menga bu analogiya yoqadi.

and I like this analogy:

It shouldn't be a teacher at the head of the class,

O'quvchi va talabalarga u ishni bajar, bu ishni bajar deb aytib turuvchi

sinf rahbarligida faqatgina o'qituvchi bo'lishi kerak emas.

telling students, "Do this, do that."

The students should teach their teachers.

O'quvchilar o'qituvchilariga o'rgatish kerak.

O'smirlar va yosh bolalarning o'rtasidagi o'rganish

Learning between grown-ups and kids should be reciprocal.

o'zaro bo'lishi kerak.

The reality, unfortunately, is a little different,

Afsuski, haqiqatda bu sal boshqacharoq

and it has a lot to do with trust, or a lack of it.

va bu ishonch yoki ishonchning yo'qligiga juda ko'p bog'liqdir.

Now, if you don't trust someone, you place restrictions on them, right?

Agar siz kimgadir ishonmasangiz, ularga nisbatan cheklashlar qo'yasiz. Tog'rimi?

If I doubt my older sister's ability to pay back the 10 percent interest

Agar men opamga bergan qarzimga

qo'ygan 10 foiz qo'shimchasini

I established on her last loan,

opamning to'lay olish qobiliyatiga shubhalansam,

I'm going to withhold her ability to get more money from me,

opam menga qarzini to'laguncha,

until she pays it back.

unga men ko'proq pul qarzga berishni to'xtatib turaman. (Kulgi)

(Laughter)

True story, by the way.

Aytgancha, bu haqiqiy voqea.

Now, adults seem to have

Hozirda, o'smirlar yosh bolalarga nisbatan

a prevalently restrictive attitude towards kids,

juda keng tarqalgan cheklangan munosabatda bo'lishi tuyulmoqda.

from every "Don't do that, don't do this" in the school handbook,

Ya'ni, maktab tartibi kitobidagi har bir "u ishni bajarma,"

"bu ishni bajarma" kabilardan boshlab,

to restrictions on school Internet use.

maktab internetidan foydalanishga qo'yilgan cheklashlar kabidir.

As history points out, regimes become oppressive

Tarix ko'rsatishicha, hokimiyatlar boshqarishni saqlay olishlaridan qo'rqqanlarida

when they're fearful about keeping control.

tazyiq o'tkazuvchi bo'ladilar.

And although adults may not be quite at the level

O'smirlar juda ham totalitar tuzumdagi darajada

of totalitarian regimes,

bo'lmasalar ham,

kids have no or very little say in making the rules,

yosh bolalar qoidalarni tuzishda umuman yoki juda oz hissalarini qo'shadilar.

when really, the attitude should be reciprocal,

Aslida, bu munosabat o'zaro bo'lishi kerak.

meaning that the adult population should learn

Bu shuni anglatadiki, o'smirlar yoshlarning orzu va istaklarini

o'rganish va

and take into account the wishes of the younger population.

e'tiborga olishlari kerak.

Now, what's even worse than restriction,

Cheklashlardan ham yomonrog'i

is that adults often underestimate kids' abilities.

o'smirlar yosh bolalarning qobiliyatlarini yetarlicha baholay olmaydilar.

We love challenges, but when expectations are low,

Biz muammo, qiyin vazifalarni sevamiz, lekin bizga bo'lgan ishonch kam bo'lganda,

ishoning menga, biz shularga cho'kib ketamiz.

trust me, we will sink to them.

My own parents had anything but low expectations

Mening ota-onam opam va mening qobiliyatimga

for me and my sister.

umuman ishonmasdi yoki juda kam ishonardi.

Okay, so they didn't tell us to become doctors or lawyers or anything like that,

Mayli, shunday qilib ular bizlarga shifokor,

huquqshunos yoki shunga o'hshash kasb egasi bo'lishimizni aytmagan.

but my dad did read to us about Aristotle and pioneer germ-fighters,

Lekin, dadam bizga Arastu

va mikroblarni eng avvalgi qiruvchilarni

o'qib berardi.

when lots of other kids were hearing

Ayni shu paytda, ko'plab boshqa bolalar

"The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round."

"Avtobus g'ildiraklari aylana aylana yuradi" hikoyalarini eshitardi.

Well, we heard that one too, but "Pioneer Germ Fighters" totally rules.

Biz bu haqida ham eshitganmiz, lekin "mikroblarga qarshi eng avvalgi kurashuvchilar" butunlay zo'rdir.

(Kulgi)

(Laughter)

I loved to write from the age of four, and when I was six,

Men to'rt yoshligimdan boshlab yozishni sevardim,

olti yoshga to'lganimda,

my mom bought me my own laptop equipped with Microsoft Word.

oyim menga Microsoft Word o'rnatilgan shahsiy kompyuter-laptop sotib olib berdi.

Thank you, Bill Gates, and thank you, Ma.

Rahmat sizga Bill Gates va Rahmat Oyijon.

I wrote over 300 short stories on that little laptop,

Men shu kichkina laptop kompyuterda

300 dan ko'p qisqa hikoyalar yozdim,

and I wanted to get published.

men ularni nashrga berishni ham xohladim.

Instead of just scoffing at this heresy that a kid wanted to get published,

Bola nashriyotga berishni xohlagan

bu afsonani mazah qilishning o'rniga

or saying wait until you're older,

katta bo'lguningcha kut, deb aytishningt o'rniga

my parents were really supportive.

mening ota-onam juda ham bu fikrimni qo'llab quvvatlagan.

Many publishers were not quite so encouraging.

Ko'p nashriyotchilar buni juda ham hush ko'rmagan.

One large children's publisher ironically said

Bolalarning bitta katta nashriyot matbaasi kinoya bilan

that they didn't work with children.

ular yosh bolalar bilan ishlamasligini aytdi.

Children's publisher not working with children?

Bolalar nashriyot matbaasi bolalar bilan ishlamaydi?

I don't know, you're kind of alienating a large client there.

Bilmadim, siz katta haridorni begonalashtiryapsiz.

(Laughter)

(Kulgi)

One publisher, Action Publishing, was willing to take that leap and trust me,

Bir nashriyotchi, badiiy syujet nashriyoti,

menga ishonib va shu vazifani olishni xohladi,

and to listen to what I had to say.

shu bilan birga men aytmoqchi bo'lgan gaplarni ham tinglashni xohladi.

They published my first book, "Flying Fingers," you see it here.

Ular mening birinchi kitobimni nashr qilishdi, "Uchar Barmoqlar," -- mana buni ko'rib turganingizdek,

And from there on, it's gone to speaking at hundreds of schools,

shu yerdan boshlab, bu kitob yuzlab maktablarda nutq so'zladi,

keynoting to thousands of educators,

minglab o'qituvchilarga bu g'oyani yetkazdi,

and finally, today, speaking to you.

nihoyatda, bugun bu kitob sizga gapiryapdi.

I appreciate your attention today,

Bugun men sizning e'tiboringizga minnatdorchilik bildiraman.

because to show that you truly care, you listen.

Chunki, haqiqatdan ham, siz diqqat bilan e'tibor beryapsiz,

tinglayapsiz.

But there's a problem with this rosy picture

Lekin, yosh bolalarning o'smirlardan ancha yahshi bo'lishidagi

of kids being so much better than adults.

tasavvurda bir muammo bor.

Kids grow up and become adults just like you.

Yosh bolalar o'sadi va huddi sizlardek o'smir bo'ladi.

(Laughter)

(Kulgi)

Or just like you? Really?

Yoki huddi sizga o'hshaydi, shundaymi?

The goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adult,

Maqsad bolalarni sizlarga o'hshagan o'smirlar qilib tayyorlash emas,

balki sizlardan ham yahshiroq o'smirlar qilib tayyorlashdir.

but rather, better adults than you have been,

which may be a little challenging, considering your guys' credentials.

Bu sizlarning malakanglarni, qobiliyatinglarni hisobga olganda,

biroz murakkab bo'lishi mumkin.

(Laughter)

But the way progress happens,

Ammo, rivojlanish sodir bo'lishining sababi shundaki,

is because new generations and new eras

yangi avlod va yangi davrlar

grow and develop and become better than the previous ones.

o'sadi, rivojlanadi va oldingilaridan yahshiroq bo'ladi.

It's the reason we're not in the Dark Ages anymore.

Shu sababli bizlar bundan buyon Qorong'i Asrlarda emasmiz.

No matter your position or place in life,

Hayotda egallagan o'rningizdan qati'y nazar,

it is imperative to create opportunities for children,

yosh bolalar uchun imkoniyatlar hozirlab berish juda zarurdir.

so that we can grow up to blow you away.

Ana shunda bizlar sizlardan olg'a o'tish uchun ulg'ayamiz.

(Laughter)

(Kulgi)

Adults and fellow TEDsters,

O'smirlar va TED faollari,

you need to listen and learn from kids,

sizlar yosh bolalarni tinglab, ulardan o'rganishinglar kerak.

and trust us and expect more from us.

Shu bilan birga bizga ishonib, bizdan ko'proq narsalarni kutishinglar kerak.

You must lend an ear today,

Bizni bugun tinglashinglar shart,

because we are the leaders of tomorrow, which means

chunki biz kelajakning rahbarlarimiz.

Bu shuni anglatadiki, sizlar keksalikka yetganinglarda,

we're going to take care of you when you're old and senile.

bizlar sizlarga g'amho'rlik qilmoqchimiz. Yo'q, shunchaki hazillashyapman.

No, just kidding.

(Laughter)

Yo'q, haqiqatdan ham, biz bu dunyoni olg'a rivojlantiradigan

No, really, we are going to be the next generation,

kelajak avlod bo'lmoqchimiz.

the ones who will bring this world forward.

And in case you don't think that this really has meaning for you,

Agar siz bu gaplarni mazmunli deb o'ylamasangiz,

remember that cloning is possible,

esingizda bo'lsinki, klonlashtirish mumkin bo'lgan holatdir

and that involves going through childhood again,

va bu bolalik davrida yana yashab o'tishdan iborat.

in which case you'll want to be heard, just like my generation.

Bunday holatda, huddi mening yoshimdagi avlod kabi

fikringizni eshittirishni xohlab qolasiz.

Now, the world needs opportunities for new leaders and new ideas.

Hozirda, dunyo yangi rahbarlar

va yangi g'oyalarga muhtojdir.

Kids need opportunities to lead and succeed.

Bolalarga rahbarlik imkoniytai va muvaffaqiyatga erishish imkoniyatlari zarurdir.

Are you ready to make the match?

Siz shu holatni hozir qilishga tayyormisiz?

Because the world's problems shouldn't be the human family's heirloom.

Chunki dunyo muammolari

insonlarning oilaviy merosi bo'lishi kerak emas.

Thank you.

Rahmat sizlarga.

(Applause)

(Qarsaklar)

Thank you. Thank you.

Rahmat sizlarga. Rahmat sizlarga.
