01:20
You say, "OK, but walkingberjalan kaki around the neighborhoodkejiranan,
23
65000
2000
"Okay. Tetapi berjalan persekitaran,
01:22
I noticedperasan that the houserumah numbersnombor don't go in orderperintah."
24
67000
2000
Saya lihat rumah-rumah tidak dalam rangka."
01:24
He sayskata, "Of coursekursus they do. They go in the orderperintah in whichyang mana they were builtdibina.
25
69000
3000
"Mestilah mereka ia. Mereka dalam rangka dimana ia dibuat.
01:27
The first houserumah ever builtdibina on a blockblok is houserumah numbernombor one.
26
72000
3000
Rumah pertama yang dibuat ialah rumah nombor satu.
01:30
The secondkedua houserumah ever builtdibina is houserumah numbernombor two.
27
75000
3000

01:33
ThirdKetiga is houserumah numbernombor threetiga. It's easymudah. It's obviousjelas."
28
78000
2000
Ketiga ialah rumah nombor tiga. Ia mudah. Ia jelas."
01:35
So, I love that sometimeskadang-kadang we need to
29
80000
3000
Saya suka kadangkala apabila kami harus
01:38
go to the oppositebertentangan sidesebelah of the worlddunia
30
83000
2000
ke daerah dunia sebelah
01:40
to realizesedar assumptionsandaian we didn't even know we had,
31
85000
2000
untuk menyedari anggapan kami tidak tahu yang ada,
01:42
and realizesedar that the oppositebertentangan of them maymungkin alsojuga be truebenar.
32
87000
3000
dan menyedari daerah sebelah mereka boleh menjadi benar.
01:45
So, for examplecontohnya, there are doctorsdoktor in ChinaChina
33
90000
2000
Contohan, doktor di Cina
01:47
who believe that it's theirmereka jobkerja to keep you healthysihat.
34
92000
3000
yang percaya untuk membuat anda sihat.
01:50
So, any monthbulan you are healthysihat you paybayar them,
35
95000
2000
Jadi, bulan apa pun anda sihat, anda membayar mereka,
01:52
and when you're sicksakit you don't have to paybayar them because they failedgagal
36
97000
2000
dan apabila anda sakit tidak perlu membayar mereka kerana mereka gagal
01:54
at theirmereka jobkerja. They get richkaya when you're healthysihat, not sicksakit.
37
99000
2000
di kerjanya. Mereka menjadi kaya jika anda sihat, tidak sakit.
01:56
(ApplauseTepukan)
38
101000
3000
(Tepuk Tangan)
01:59
In mostpaling banyak musicmuzik, we think of the "one"
39
104000
2000
Di kebanyakan muzik kita berfikir "satu"
02:01
as the downbeatdownbeat, the beginningpermulaan of the musicalmuzik phrasefrasa: one, two, threetiga, fourempat.
40
106000
4000
sebagai pembukaan lagu. Satu, dua, tiga, empat.
02:05
But in WestBarat AfricanAfrika musicmuzik, the "one"
41
110000
2000
Tetapi di Afrika Selatar musik yang "satu"
02:07
is thought of as the endakhir of the phrasefrasa,
42
112000
2000
difikirkan sebagai keakhiran frasa itu,
02:09
like the periodtempoh at the endakhir of a sentencehukuman.
43
114000
2000
seperti tempoh di akhir ayat.
02:11
So, you can heardengar it not just in the phrasingpernyataan, but the way they countkiraan off theirmereka musicmuzik:
44
116000
2000
Anda boleh mendengarnya bukan hanya dalam frasa, tetapi cara menghitung dari musik mereka
02:13
two, threetiga, fourempat, one.
45
118000
3000
Dua, Tiga, Empat, Satu.
02:16
And this mappeta is alsojuga accuratetepat.
46
121000
3000
Dan peta ini tepat.
02:19
(LaughterGelak ketawa)
47
124000
2000
(Ketawa)
02:21
There's a sayingberkata that whateverapa-apa sahajalah truebenar thing you can say about IndiaIndia,
48
126000
3000
Ada mengatakan yang pelbagai pekara betul anda boleh katakan tentang India,
02:24
the oppositebertentangan is alsojuga truebenar.
49
129000
2000
seberangya pun betul juga.
02:26
So, let's never forgetlupa, whethersama ada at TEDTED, or anywheredi mana sahaja elselain,
50
131000
2000
Janganlah lupa, jika di TED atau dimana-mana pun,
02:28
that whateverapa-apa sahajalah brilliantcemerlang ideasidea you have or heardengar,
51
133000
3000
yang sebagai idea cemerlang yang ada atau dengar,
02:31
that the oppositebertentangan maymungkin alsojuga be truebenar.
52
136000
2000
seberangnya boleh menjadi betul.
