من وا راهاتووم بیر له‌ تێد بكه‌مه‌وه وه‌ك چه‌پكه‌یه‌ك له‌‌
00:18
of some of the most effective, intelligent,
1
3000
2000
چالاكترین ، زیره‌كترین
00:20
intellectual, savvy,
2
5000
3000
هۆشیارترین ، ژیرترین
00:23
worldly and innovative people in the world.
3
8000
2000
جیهانىترین و بیرمه‌ندترین كه‌سان له‌ جیهاندا
00:25
And I think that's true.
4
10000
2000
وه‌ پێم وایه‌ ئه‌وه‌ش راسته‌
00:27
However, I also have reason to believe
5
12000
2000
به‌ڵام منیش هۆیه‌كى خۆم هه‌یه‌ كه‌ بڕوا بكه‌م
00:29
that many, if not most, of you
6
14000
2000
كه‌ زۆر له‌ ئێوه‌، ئه‌گه‌ر زۆرینه‌تان نه‌بێ
00:31
are actually tying your shoes incorrectly.
7
16000
2000
پێڵاوه‌كانتان به‌ هه‌ڵه‌ ده‌به‌ستن
00:33
(Laughter)
8
18000
2000
پێكه‌نین
00:35
Now I know that seems ludicrous.
9
20000
2000
ئێستا ئه‌زانم كه‌ شتێكى پێکەنین ئامێزە
00:37
I know that seems ludicrous.
10
22000
2000
ئه‌زانم كه‌ شتێكى پێکەنیناوییە
00:39
And believe me, I lived the same sad life
11
24000
2000
بڕوام پێبكه‌ن، منیش بە هەمان ئەو ناخۆشیانەی ژیاندا تێپەڕیوم
00:41
until about three years ago.
12
26000
2000
تاكو نزیكه‌ى سێ ساڵ له‌مه‌و به‌ر
00:43
And what happened to me
13
28000
2000
ئه‌وه‌ى كه‌ به‌سه‌رمدا هات
00:45
was I bought, what was for me, a very expensive pair of shoes.
14
30000
3000
ئەوە بوو كه‌ جووتێك پێڵاوى زۆر گران به‌هام كڕى بۆ خۆم
00:48
But those shoes came with round nylon laces,
15
33000
3000
به‌ڵام قه‌یتانه‌كانى جووته‌ پێڵاوه‌كه‌م خریڵه‌ى نایلۆن بوون
00:51
and I couldn't keep them tied.
16
36000
2000
نه‌مده‌توانى به‌ توندكراوه‌یى بیانپارێزم
00:53
So I went back to the store and said to the owner,
17
38000
2000
بۆیه‌ چوومه‌وه‌ لاى پێڵاو فرۆشه‌كه‌ و پێم ووت
00:55
"I love the shoes, but I hate the laces."
18
40000
2000
پێڵاوه‌كانم خۆش ده‌وێن به‌ڵام قه‌یتانه‌كان نا
00:57
He took a look and said, "Oh, you're tying them wrong."
19
42000
3000
ئه‌ویش سه‌یرێكى به‌ستنى قه‌یتانه‌كان كرد و ووتى "تۆ به‌ هه‌ڵه‌ به‌ستووته‌"
01:00
Now up until that moment,
20
45000
2000
تا ئه‌و ساته‌
01:02
I would have thought that, by age 50,
21
47000
3000
وا بیرم ده‌كرده‌وه‌ كه‌ له‌ 50 سالى ته‌مه‌نمدا
01:05
one of the life skills that I had really nailed
22
50000
3000
یه‌كێك له‌ هه‌ره‌ پیشه‌كانى ژیانم
01:08
was tying my shoes.
23
53000
2000
به‌ستنى پێڵاوه‌كانم بوو
01:10
But not so -- let me demonstrate.
24
55000
3000
به‌ڵام وانه‌بوو ، با پیشاندان بده‌م
01:14
This is the way
25
59000
2000
ئه وه رێگاكه یه
01:16
that most of us were taught to tie our shoes.
26
61000
3000
كه‌ زۆربه‌مان وا پێڵاوه‌كانمان ده‌به‌ستین
01:22
Now as it turns out -- thank you.
27
67000
3000
ئێستا كه‌ تو‌ندیان ده‌كه‌ى
01:25
Wait, there's more.
28
70000
2000
بوه‌ستن ، زیاتریش له‌وه‌
01:27
As it turns out,
29
72000
3000
كه‌ توندیان ده‌كه‌ى
01:30
there's a strong form and a weak form of this knot,
30
75000
2000
گرێى توند و گرێى خاو هه‌یه‌
01:32
and we were taught to tie the weak form.
31
77000
2000
ئێمه‌ش فێركراوین به‌ خاوه‌كه‌ بیبه‌ستین
01:34
And here's how to tell.
32
79000
2000
ئیًستاش با بۆتان بڵێم
01:36
If you pull the strands at the base of the knot,
33
81000
2000
ئه‌گه‌ر باڵه‌كان له‌ ناوه‌وه‌ راكێشى
01:38
you will see that the bow will orient itself
34
83000
3000
ئه‌وا باڵه‌كان خۆیان رێك ده‌خه‌ن
01:41
down the long axis of the shoe.
35
86000
2000
بۆ خواره‌وه‌ى ئاراسته‌ى پێڵاوه‌كه‌
01:43
That's the weak form of the knot.
36
88000
2000
ئه‌وه‌ خاوى گرێه‌كه‌یه‌
01:45
But not to worry.
37
90000
2000
به ڵام نیگه‌ران مه‌بن
01:47
If we start over
38
92000
2000
ئه‌گه‌ر جارێكى تر ده‌ست پێبكه‌ینه‌وه‌
01:49
and simply go the other direction
39
94000
2000
به‌ڵام به‌ ئاراسته‌كه‌ى تر دا بیكیه‌ن
01:51
around the bow,
40
96000
2000
به‌ خولاوه‌ى گرێیه‌كه‌
01:53
we get this, the strong form of the knot.
41
98000
3000
گرێیه‌ تونده‌كه‌مان ده‌ست ده‌كه‌وێت
01:56
And if you pull the cords under the knot,
42
101000
3000
وه‌ ئه‌گه‌ر قه‌یتانه‌كان له‌ ژێر گرێیه‌كه‌ دا بنێین
01:59
you will see that the bow orients itself
43
104000
2000
ده‌بینین گرێیه‌كه‌ خۆى توند ده‌كاته‌وه‌
02:01
along the transverse axis of the shoe.
44
106000
3000
له‌گه‌ڵ ئاراسته‌ى شاقولى پێڵاوه‌كه‌
02:04
This is a stronger knot. It will come untied less often.
45
109000
3000
ئه‌وه‌ به‌ هێزترین به‌ستانه‌ كه‌ زۆر به‌ كه‌مى شل و خاو ده‌بێته‌وه‌
02:07
It will let you down less,
46
112000
2000
كه‌متر شه‌رمه‌زارت ده‌كات
02:09
and not only that, it looks better.
47
114000
3000
نه‌ك هه‌ر ئه‌وه‌ش ، به‌ڵكو باشتریش ده‌رده‌كه‌وێت
02:12
We're going to do this one more time.
48
117000
2000
با جارێكى تریش تاقى كه‌ینه‌وه‌
02:14
(Applause)
49
119000
3000
چه‌پڵه‌
02:17
Start as usual,
50
122000
4000
سه‌ره‌تا هه‌ر وه‌ك دیزانین
02:21
go the other way around the loop.
51
126000
2000
به‌ رێگایه‌یكه‌ى تر بیخولێنه‌وه‌
02:23
This is a little hard for children,
52
128000
2000
كه‌مێك قورسه‌ بۆ مناڵان
02:25
but I think you can handle it.
53
130000
2000
به‌ڵام پێم وایه‌ ده‌توانن بیكه‌ن
02:29
Pull the knot.
54
134000
2000
گرێیه‌كه‌ رابكێشه‌
02:31
There it is: the strong form of the shoe knot.
55
136000
3000
ئه‌وه‌تا ، گرێى توند
02:34
Now, in keeping with today's theme,
56
139000
4000
ئێستاش ، هه‌ر له‌گه‌ڵ بابه‌تى ئه‌مڕۆماند
02:38
I'd like to point out -- and something you already know --
57
143000
2000
ده‌مه‌وێ ئامه‌ژه‌ به‌وه‌ بكه‌م وه‌ خۆشتانیش ئه‌یزانن
02:40
that sometimes a small advantage
58
145000
2000
هه‌ندێك جار بچووكترین سوود
02:42
someplace in life
59
147000
2000
شوێنێك له‌ ژیاندا
02:44
can yield tremendous results someplace else.
60
149000
3000
ئه‌نجامى زۆر گه‌وره‌ترى ده‌بێت له‌ شوێنێكى تر
02:48
Live long and prosper.
61
153000
2000
زۆر بژى و سه‌ركه‌وه‌
02:50
