Does Amazon carry it?

111000

A ka per kete nje liste pritjeje?
02:13
Not likely.
45
118000
2000
Asnjera prej ketyre.
02:15
This gift came to me about five months ago.
46
120000
3000
Kjo dhurate erdhi tek mua pese muaj me pare.
02:18
It looked more like this when it was all wrapped up --
47
123000
2000
Ajo dukej me shume si kjo kur perfundoi
02:20
not quite so pretty.
48
125000
2000
por jo edhe kaq bukur.
02:23
And this,
49
128000
2000
Dhe si kjo.
02:26
and then this.
50
131000
3000
Dhe me pas si kjo.
02:29
It was a rare gem --
51
134000
2000
Kjo ishte nje perle e rralle,
02:31
a brain tumor,
52
136000
2000
nje tumor i trurit,
02:33
hemangioblastoma --
53
138000
3000
hemangioblastoma,
02:36
the gift that keeps on giving.
54
141000
3000
dhurata qe te mban mbi dhenien.
02:39
And while I'm okay now,
55
144000
2000
Dhe nderkohe qe tani jam mire,
02:41
I wouldn't wish this gift for you.
56
146000
2000
une nuk do e uroja kete dhurate per ju.
02:43
I'm not sure you'd want it.
57
148000
2000
Nuk jam e sigurte qe ju do e deshironit nje te tille.
02:45
But I wouldn't change my experience.
58
150000
3000
Por, une mund ta ndryshoj eksperiencen time.
02:48
It profoundly altered my life
59
153000
3000
Pasi, kjo thellesisht ndryshoi jeten time
02:51
in ways I didn't expect
60
156000
2000
ne nje menyre qe s'mund ta prisja
02:53
in all the ways I just shared with you.
61
158000
2000
dhe ne te gjitha menyrat qe une i ndava me ju.
02:55
So the next time you're faced
62
160000
2000
Keshtu qe heren tjeter qe do te perballeni
02:57
with something that's unexpected,
63
162000
3000
me dicka qe eshte e paparashikueshme,
03:00
unwanted and uncertain,
64
165000
3000
e padeshirueshme dhe e paqarte,
03:03
consider
65
168000
2000
konsiderojeni
03:05
that it just may be a gift.
66
170000
3000
qe mund te jete thjesht nje dhurate.
03:08
(Applause)
