Jedna stvar koja je zajednička za sve nas je to da želimo biti sretni, kaže Brat David Steindl-Rast, monah i međureligijski učenjak. A sreća, on navodi, se rađa iz zahvalnosti. Nadahnjujuća lekcija o tome kako usporiti, gledati kuda idete i, prije svega, biti zahvalni.

There is something

2150
Poštoji nešto
00:14
you know about me, something very personal,
1
2646
5324
što vi znate o meni, nešto jako lično,
00:19
and there is something I know about
2
7970
2238
i postoji nešto što ja znam o
00:22
every one of you
3
10208
2342
svakome od vas
00:24
and that's very central to your concerns.
4
12550
4113
i to zauzima glavno mjesto u vašim brigama.
00:28
There is something that we know
5
16663
2605
Postoji nešto što znamo
00:31
about everyone we meet anywhere in the world,
6
19268
2586
o svakome koga sretnemo bilo gdje na svijetu,
00:33
on the street,
7
21854
3465
na ulici,
00:37
that is the very mainspring
8
25319
2991
a što je glavna pokretačka snaga
00:40
of whatever they do
9
28310
1859
bilo čega što oni rade
00:42
and whatever they put up with,
10
30169
3878
i bilo čega kroz šta prolaze,
00:46
and that is that all of us
11
34047
3257
a to je da svi mi
00:49
want to be happy.
12
37304
3037
želimo biti sretni.
00:52
In this, we are all together.
13
40341
2862
U ovome smo svi zajedno.
00:55
How we imagine our happiness,
14
43203
3492
Kako zamišljamo našu sreću,
00:58
that differs from one another,
15
46695
2006
to je nešto što se
razlikuje od osobe do osobe
razlikuje od osobe do osobe
01:00
but it's already a lot that we have all in common,
16
48701
4828
ali je već mnogo to što svi mi imamo zajedničko
01:05
that we want to be happy.
17
53529
3635
to da želimo biti sretni.
01:09
Now my topic is gratefulness.
18
57164
3322
Sad, moja tema je zahvalnost.
01:12
How is the connection between
19
60486
2802
U čemu je veza između
01:15
happiness and gratefulness?
20
63288
4007
sreće i zahvalnosti?
01:19
Many people would say, well, that's very easy.
21
67310
3018
Mnogi ljudi će reći: "Pa, to je veoma lako.
01:22
When you are happy, you are grateful.
22
70328
4003
Kad si sretan, zahvalan si."
01:26
But think again.
23
74331
3219
Ali razmislite malo bolje.
01:29
Is it really the happy people that are grateful?
24
77550
5359
Jesu li zaista sretni ljudi ti koji su zahvalni?
01:34
We all know quite a number of people
25
82909
3733
Svi mi znamo popriličan broj ljudi
01:38
who have everything that it would take to be happy,
26
86642
4201
koji imaju sve što im je potrebno da budu sretni,
01:42
and they are not happy,
27
90843
1781
ali oni nisu sretni
01:44
because they want something else
28
92624
1691
jer žele nešto drugo
01:46
or they want more of the same.
29
94315
3858
ili više toga što već imaju.
01:50
And we all know people
30
98173
2554
I svi mi znamo ljudi
01:52
who have lots of misfortune,
31
100727
4294
koji su prošli kroz mnogo nevolja,
01:57
misfortune that we ourselves would not want to have,
32
105021
3801
nevolja koje mi sami ne bismo htjeli da imamo,
02:00
and they are deeply happy.
33
108822
2752
i oni su veoma sretni.
02:03
They radiate happiness. You are surprised.
34
111574
3443
Oni zrače srećom. Iznenadite se.
02:07
Why? Because they are grateful.
35
115017
3331
Zašto? Zato jer su zahvalni.
02:10
So it is not happiness that makes us grateful.
36
118348
3877
Dakle, nije sreća ono što nas čini zahvalnim.
02:14
It's gratefulness that makes us happy.
37
122225
3520
Zahvalnost je ono što nas čini sretnim.
02:17
If you think it's happiness that makes you grateful,
38
125745
3031
Ako mislite da je sreća to što vas čini zahvalnim,
02:20
think again.
39
128776
1509
razmislite ponovo.
02:22
It's gratefulness that makes you happy.
40
130285
4008
Zahvalnost je ono što vas čini sretnim.
02:26
Now, we can ask,
41
134293
2512
Sada, možemo se zapitati,
02:28
what really do we mean by gratefulness?
42
136805
3824
šta je tačno ono na što
mislimo kad govorimo o zahvalnosti?
mislimo kad govorimo o zahvalnosti?
02:32
And how does it work?
43
140629
5356
I kako ona funkcioniše?
02:37
I appeal to your own experience.
44
145985
1990
Pozivam se na vaše vlastito iskustvo.
02:39
We all know from experience how it goes.
45
147975
3080
Svi mi iz iskustva znamo kako to ide.
02:43
We experience something
46
151055
2396
Iskusimo nešto
02:45
that's valuable to us.
47
153451
3118
što je za nas vrijedno.
02:48
Something is given to us that's valuable to us.
48
156569
5356
Dato nam je nešto što je za nas vrijedno.
02:53
And it's really given.
49
161925
1946
I to je zaista dato.
02:55
These two things have to come together.
50
163871
2243
Ove dvije stvari se moraju sjediniti.
02:58
It has to be something valuable,
51
166114
3522
To mora da bude nešto vrijedno
03:01
and it's a real gift.
52
169636
1888
i to je pravi poklon.
03:03
You haven't bought it. You haven't earned it.
53
171524
3237
Niste to kupiti. Niste to zaradili.
03:06
You haven't traded it in. You haven't worked for it.
54
174761
2321
Niste dali ništa u zamjenu. Niste radili za to.
03:09
It's just given to you.
55
177082
1739
Jednostavno vam je dato.
03:10
And when these two things come together,
56
178821
2267
I kad ove dvije stvari dođu zajedno,
03:13
something that's really valuable to me
57
181088
2277
nešto što je meni veoma vrijedno,
03:15
and I realize it's freely given,
58
183365
3372
i shvatim da je to dato slobodno,
03:18
then gratefulness spontaneously
59
186737
3015
onda zahvalnost spontano
03:21
rises in my heart,
60
189752
1922
raste u mom srcu,
03:23
happiness spontaneously rises in my heart.
61
191674
4363
sreća spontano raste u mom srcu.
03:28
That's how gratefulness happens.
62
196037
3509
Tako se zahvalnost događa.
03:31
Now the key to all this is that
63
199546
7835
Ključ za sve ovo je u tome da
03:39
we cannot only experience this once in a while.
64
207381
5616
mi ovo ne možemo iskusiti samo ponekad.
03:44
We cannot only have grateful experiences.
65
212997
3758
Mi ne možemo imati samo zahvalna iskustva.
03:48
We can be people who live gratefully.
66
216755
3894
Možemo biti ljudi koji žive zahvalno.
03:52
Grateful living, that is the thing.
67
220649
3448
Živjeti zahvalno, u tome je stvar.
03:56
And how can we live gratefully?
68
224097
4000
A kako možemo živjeti zahvalno?
04:00
By experiencing, by becoming aware
69
228097
4292
Iskustvom, shvatanjem da
04:04
that every moment is a given moment, as we say.
70
232389
4904
je svaki momenat darovan
momenat, kako mi to kažemo.
momenat, kako mi to kažemo.
04:09
It's a gift. You haven't earned it.
71
237293
2605
To je dar. Vi to niste zaradili.
04:11
You haven't brought it about in any way.
72
239898
2907
Niste tome doprinijeli ni na koji način.
04:14
You have no way of assuring that there will be
73
242805
3972
Ne postoji način da budete sigurni da će vam
04:18
another moment given to you,
74
246777
2140
biti dat još jedan momenat
04:20
and yet, that's the most valuable thing
75
248917
2900
ali ipak to je najvrjednija stvar
04:23
that can ever be given to us,
76
251817
2189
koja nam može biti data,
04:26
this moment, with all the opportunity that it contains.
77
254006
5512
ovaj momenat, sa svim prilikama koje nam on pruža.
04:31
If we didn't have this present moment,
78
259518
2664
Ako ne bismo imali ovaj sadašnji momenat,
04:34
we wouldn't have any opportunity to do anything
79
262182
3200
ne bismo imali ni priliku da išta uradimo
04:37
or experience anything,
80
265382
1848
ili da išta iskusimo
04:39
and this moment is a gift.
81
267230
1840
i ovaj momenat je dar.
04:41
It's a given moment, as we say.
82
269070
2642
To je darovan momenat, kako mi to kažemo.
04:43
Now, we say the gift within this gift
83
271712
4073
Sad, mi kažemo da je dar unutar ovoga dara
04:47
is really the opportunity.
84
275785
2567
zapravo prilika.
04:50
What you are really grateful for is the opportunity,
85
278352
4566
Ono na čemu ste zaista zahvalni je prilika,
04:54
not the thing that is given to you,
86
282918
1958
ne na onome što vam je dato,
04:56
because if that thing were somewhere else
87
284876
1979
jer da je ta stvar bila negdje drugo
04:58
and you didn't have the opportunity to enjoy it,
88
286855
3336
i da niste bili u prilici da u njoj uživate
05:02
to do something with it,
89
290191
2245
ili da uradite nešto s njom,
05:04
you wouldn't be grateful for it.
90
292436
2590
ne biste na njoj bili zahvalni.
05:07
Opportunity is the gift within every gift,
91
295026
4143
Prilika je dar u svakome daru,
05:11
and we have this saying,
92
299169
2352
i mi imamo ovu izreku,
05:13
opportunity knocks only once.
93
301521
4248
prilika se pruža samo jednom.
05:17
Well, think again.
94
305769
2699
Pa, razmislite još jednom.
05:20
Every moment is a new gift, over and over again,
95
308468
4422
Svaki momenat je novi dar, iznova i iznova
05:24
and if you miss the opportunity of this moment,
96
312890
3268
i ako propustite priliku u ovom momentu,
05:28
another moment is given to us, and another moment.
97
316158
4017
drugi momenat nam je dat, i onda još jedan.
05:32
We can avail ourselves of this opportunity,
98
320175
2714
Možemo se okoristiti ovom prilikom
05:34
or we can miss it,
99
322889
1871
ili je možemo propustiti
05:36
and if we avail ourselves of the opportunity,
100
324760
3732
i ako se okoristimo prilikom,
05:40
it is the key to happiness.
101
328492
3019
to je ključ ka sreći.
05:43
Behold the master key to our happiness
102
331511
3265
Pogledajte ovaj univerzalni ključ ka našoj sreći
05:46
in our own hands.
103
334776
1803
u našim vlastitim rukama.
05:48
Moment by moment,
104
336579
1942
Trenutak po trenutak,
05:50
we can be grateful for this gift.
105
338521
3072
možemo biti zahvalni za ovaj dar.
05:53
Does that mean
106
341593
2523
Znači li to
05:56
that we can be grateful for everything?
107
344116
3513
da možemo biti zahvalni na svemu?
05:59
Certainly not.
108
347629
1903
Naravno da ne.
06:01
We cannot be grateful for violence, for war,
109
349532
5005
Ne možemo biti zahvalni na nasilju, na ratu,
06:06
for oppression, for exploitation.
110
354537
2823
na ugnjetavanju, na iskorištavanju.
06:09
On the personal level, we cannot be grateful
111
357360
2641
Na ličnom nivou, mi ne možemo biti zahvalni
06:12
for the loss of a friend, for unfaithfulness,
112
360001
3423
na gubitku prijatelja, na nevjeri,
06:15
for bereavement.
113
363424
3246
na žalosti.
06:18
But I didn't say we can be grateful for everything.
114
366670
3857
Ali ja nisam ni rekao da
možemo biti zahvalni na svemu.
možemo biti zahvalni na svemu.
06:22
I said we can be grateful in every given moment
115
370527
4278
Rekao sam da možemo biti
zahvalni na svakom datom momentu
zahvalni na svakom datom momentu
06:26
for the opportunity,
116
374805
2082
na prilici,
06:28
and even when we are confronted
117
376887
3253
i čak i kad smo suočeni
06:32
with something that is terribly difficult,
118
380140
3166
sa nečim što je izuzetno teško,
06:35
we can rise to this occasion
119
383306
2540
možemo se uzdići do nivoa ove prilike
06:37
and respond to the opportunity that is given to us.
120
385846
4255
i odgovoriti na priliku koja nam je pružena.
06:42
It isn't as bad as it might seem.
121
390101
2375
Nije toliko loše koliko se može činiti.
06:44
Actually, when you look at it and experience it,
122
392476
3893
Zapravo, kad pogledate na to i iskusite to,
06:48
you find that most of the time, what is given to us
123
396369
4078
shvatite da većinu vremena, ono što nam je dato
06:52
is opportunity to enjoy,
124
400447
2375
je prilika da uživamo,
06:54
and we only miss it because
125
402822
1967
i propuštamo je jedino
06:56
we are rushing through life
126
404789
1263
jer žurimo kroz život
06:58
and we are not stopping to see the opportunity.
127
406052
3867
i ne zastajemo kako bismo vidjeli tu priliku.
07:01
But once in a while,
128
409919
1431
Ali svako malo,
07:03
something very difficult is given to us,
129
411350
2946
nešto veoma teško nam je dato
07:06
and when this difficult thing occurs to us,
130
414296
3981
i kad nam ova teška stvar dođe,
07:10
it's a challenge to rise to that opportunity,
131
418277
4438
izazov je podići se na nivo te prilike
07:14
and we can rise to it by learning something
132
422715
3211
a mi se možemo uzdići na taj nivo učeći nešto
07:17
which is sometimes painful.
133
425926
1950
što je ponekad bolno.
07:19
Learning patience, for instance.
134
427876
2087
Učeći strpljenje, naprimjer.
07:21
We have been told that the road to peace
135
429963
2997
Rekli su nam da put do mira
07:24
is not a sprint,
136
432960
1706
nije sprint
07:26
but is more like a marathon.
137
434666
2062
već više liče na maraton.
07:28
That takes patience. That's difficult.
138
436728
3711
To zahtijeva strpljenje. To je teško.
07:32
It may be to stand up for your opinion,
139
440439
3832
Možda taj izazov bude da ustanete radi vaših stavova,
07:36
to stand up for your conviction.
140
444271
2855
da ustanete radi vaših uvjerenja.
07:39
That's an opportunity that is given to us.
141
447126
3031
To je prilika koja nam se pruža.
07:42
To learn, to suffer, to stand up,
142
450157
3606
Da učimo, da patimo, da dižemo svoj glas,
07:45
all these opportunities are given to us,
143
453763
2370
sve ove prilike su nam date,
07:48
but they are opportunities,
144
456133
1506
ali sve su one prilike
07:49
and those who avail themselves
145
457639
1659
i oni koje se okoriste
07:51
of those opportunities
146
459298
2217
ovim prilikama
07:53
are the ones that we admire.
147
461515
2127
su oni koje mi cijenimo.
07:55
They make something out of life.
148
463642
2087
Oni uspiju napraviti nešto od svog života.
07:57
And those who fail get another opportunity.
149
465729
5088
A oni koji to ne uspiju dobiju drugu priliku.
08:02
We always get another opportunity.
150
470817
2423
Uvijek dobijamo drugu priliku.
08:05
That's the wonderful richness of life.
151
473240
5032
To je čudesno bogatstvo života.
08:10
So how can we find a method
152
478272
4491
Dakle, kako možemo pronaći metodu
08:14
that will harness this?
153
482763
2058
koja će ovo i upotrijebiti?
08:16
How can each one of us find a method
154
484821
3096
Kako svako od nas ovdje može pronaći metodu
08:19
for living gratefully,
155
487917
1934
za zahvalan život,
08:21
not just once in a while being grateful,
156
489851
1817
ne samo da budemo zahvalni s vremena na vrijeme
08:23
but moment by moment to be grateful.
157
491668
2544
već za budemo zahvalni iz trenutka u trenutak.
08:26
How can we do it?
158
494212
1425
Kako to možemo uraditi?
08:27
It's a very simple method.
159
495637
2330
Metoda je veoma jednostavna.
08:29
It's so simple that it's actually what we were told
160
497967
4387
Toliko je jednostavna da je to
zapravo ono što su nam govorili
zapravo ono što su nam govorili
08:34
as children when we learned to cross the street.
161
502354
3528
dok smo kao djeca učili kako da pređemo ulicu.
08:37
Stop. Look. Go.
162
505882
3589
Stani. Pogledaj. Kreni.
08:41
That's all.
163
509471
1515
To je sve.
08:42
But how often do we stop?
164
510986
2996
Ali koliko često mi stajemo?
08:45
We rush through life. We don't stop.
165
513982
2769
Mi žurimo kroz život. Mi ne stajemo.
08:48
We miss the opportunity because we don't stop.
166
516751
4261
Propuštamo priliku jer ne stajemo.
08:53
We have to stop. We have to get quiet.
167
521012
5077
Moramo stati. Moramo se ušutjeti.
08:58
And we have to build stop signs
168
526089
3094
I moramo napraviti znakove za stajanje
09:01
into our lives.
169
529183
2373
u našim životima.
09:03
When I was in Africa some years ago
170
531556
3492
Kad sam bio u Africi prije nekoliko godina
09:07
and then came back,
171
535048
1482
i kad sam se vratio nazad,
09:08
I noticed water.
172
536530
2584
primijetio sam vodu.
09:11
In Africa where I was, I didn't have drinkable water.
173
539114
4179
Tamo gdje sam boravio u Africi, nisam imao pitku vodu.
09:15
Every time I turned on the faucet,
174
543293
2274
Svaki put kad bih odvrnio slavinu,
09:17
I was overwhelmed.
175
545567
2500
bio bih uzbuđen.
09:20
Every time I clicked on the light,
176
548067
2526
Svaki put kad bih upalio svjetlo,
09:22
I was so grateful. It made me so happy.
177
550593
2648
bio bih tako zahvalan. To me činilo veoma sretnim.
09:25
But after a while, this wears off.
178
553241
2007
Ali nakon nekog vremena, taj osjećaj se istroši.
09:27
So I put little stickers on the light switch
179
555248
3786
Zbog toga sam stavio male podsjetnike na prekidač za svjetlo
09:31
and on the water faucet,
180
559034
1701
i na slavinu
09:32
and every time I turned it on, water.
181
560735
3082
i svaki put kad sam ga upalio, voda.
09:35
So leave it up to your own imagination.
182
563817
2880
Dakle, ostavite to svojoj vlastitoj mašti.
09:38
You can find whatever works best for you,
183
566697
1938
Možete odabrati bilo šta što je za vas najbolje,
09:40
but you need stop signs in your life.
184
568635
3461
ali morate postaviti ove
znakove za stajanje u vašem životu.
znakove za stajanje u vašem životu.
09:44
And when you stop,
185
572096
2133
I kad stanete,
09:46
then the next thing is to look.
186
574229
2228
onda je sljedeća stvar da pogledate.
09:48
You look. You open your eyes.
187
576457
2528
Gledate. Otvarate vaše oči.
09:50
You open your ears. You open your nose.
188
578985
2286
Otvarate vaše uši. Otvarate vaš nos.
09:53
You open all your senses
189
581271
2323
Otvarate sva vaša osjetila
09:55
for this wonderful richness that is given to us.
190
583594
3352
za ovo predivno bogatstvo koje nam je dato.
09:58
There is no end to it,
191
586946
1642
Tome nema kraja
10:00
and that is what life is all about,
192
588588
2533
i to je ono u čemu je bit ovoga života,
10:03
to enjoy, to enjoy what is given to us.
193
591121
3811
uživati, uživati u onome što nam je dato.
10:06
And then we can also open our hearts,
194
594932
2615
I onda također možemo otvoriti naša srca,
10:09
our hearts for the opportunities,
195
597547
3074
naša srca za prilike,
10:12
for the opportunities also to help others,
196
600621
3242
za prilike da također pomognemo drugima,
10:15
to make others happy, because
nothing makes us more happy
nothing makes us more happy
197
603863
3232
da druge učinimo sretnim, jer ništa nas ne čini više sretnim
10:19
than when all of us are happy.
198
607095
3504
nego kad smo svi sretni.
10:22
And when we open our hearts to the opportunities,
199
610599
4302
I kada otvorimo svoja srca prilikama,
10:26
the opportunities invite us to do something,
200
614901
3336
prilike nas pozivaju da učinimo nešto
10:30
and that is the third.
201
618237
1651
i to je treće.
10:31
Stop, look, and then go, and really do something.
202
619888
4373
Zastani, pogledaj i onda kreni, i zaista uradi nešto.
10:36
And what we can do is
203
624261
2128
I ono što možemo uraditi je
10:38
whatever life offers to you in that present moment.
204
626389
4252
bilo šta što vam život nudi u tom trenutku.
10:42
Mostly it's the opportunity to enjoy,
205
630641
5067
Uglavnom, to je prilika da uživamo,
10:47
but sometimes it's something more difficult.
206
635708
3324
ali je to ponekad i nešto teže.
10:51
But whatever it is, if we take this opportunity,
207
639032
4028
Ali bilo šta da to bilo, ako iskoristimo ovu priliku
10:55
we go with it, we are creative,
208
643060
3298
i idemo uz nju, kreativni smo,
10:58
those are the creative people,
209
646358
2513
to su kreativni ljudi,
11:00
and that little stop, look, go,
210
648871
3688
i to malo stani, pogledaj i kreni
11:04
is such a potent seed
211
652559
2272
je tako snažno sjeme
11:06
that it can revolutionize our world.
212
654831
3669
da može revolucionisati naš svijet.
11:10
Because we need, we are at the present moment
213
658500
5320
Jer mi trebamo, mi smo u ovom trenutku
11:15
in the middle of a change of consciousness,
214
663820
3336
usred promjene naše svijesti
11:19
and you will be surprised if you --
215
667156
2565
i bit ćete iznenađeni ako --
11:21
I am always surprised when I hear how many times
216
669721
2967
ja sam uvijek iznenađen kada čujem koliko puta
11:24
this word "gratefulness" and "gratitude" comes up.
217
672688
2928
se riječ "zahvalnost" pojavljuje.
11:27
Everywhere you find it,
218
675616
1674
Nalazite je svugdje,
11:29
a grateful airline, a restaurant gratefulness,
219
677290
3279
zahvalna aviokompanija, restoranska zahvalnost,
11:32
a cafe gratefulness, a wine that is gratefulness.
220
680569
2997
zahvalnost u kafeu, vino koje je zahvalnost.
11:35
Yes, I have even come across a toilet paper
221
683566
3487
Da, čak sam naišao i na toalet papir
11:39
that the brand is called Thank You. (Laughter)
222
687053
3987
čiji brend se zove Hvala Vam. (Smijeh)
11:43
There is a wave of gratefulness because
223
691040
2241
Postoji čitav val zahvalnosti jer
11:45
people are becoming aware how important this is
224
693281
3531
ljudi postaju svjesni koliko je ovo bitno
11:48
and how this can change our world.
225
696812
2945
i koliko ovo može promijeniti naš svijet.
11:51
It can change our world
226
699757
2255
To može promijeniti naš svijet
11:54
in immensely important ways,
227
702012
4512
na neizmjerno važne načine
11:58
because if you're grateful, you're not fearful,
228
706524
3489
jer ako ste zahvalni, onda ne strahujete,
12:02
and if you're not fearful, you're not violent.
229
710013
3508
a ako ne strahujete, onda niste nasilni.
12:05
If you're grateful, you act out of a sense of enough
230
713521
4186
Ako ste zahvalni, onda djelujete iz osjećaja sitosti
12:09
and not of a sense of scarcity,
231
717707
2261
a ne iz osjećaja oskudice
12:11
and you are willing to share.
232
719968
1882
i spremni ste da to dijelite.
12:13
If you are grateful, you are enjoying
233
721850
2216
Ako ste zahvalni, vi uživate
12:16
the differences between people,
234
724066
1883
u razlikama među ljudima
12:17
and you are respectful to everybody,
235
725949
2447
i puni ste poštovanja prema svakome
12:20
and that changes this power pyramid
236
728396
2281
i to mijenja tu piramidu moći
12:22
under which we live.
237
730677
1279
pod kojom mi živimo.
12:23
And it doesn't make for equality,
238
731956
2979
Ovo ne doprinosti jednakosti
12:26
but it makes for equal respect,
239
734935
2222
ali doprinosi jednakom poštovanju,
12:29
and that is the important thing.
240
737157
2004
a to je važna stvar.
12:31
The future of the world will be a network,
241
739161
3700
Budućnost svijeta će biti mreža,
12:34
not a pyramid, not a pyramid turned upside down.
242
742861
3650
ne piramida, ne piramida okrenuta naopako.
12:38
The revolution of which I am speaking
243
746511
2249
Revolucija o kojoj ja govorim
12:40
is a nonviolent revolution,
244
748760
2187
je nenasilna revolucija,
12:42
and it's so revolutionary
245
750947
1731
i toliko je revolucionarna
12:44
that it even revolutionizes
246
752678
2099
da čak revolucionizira
12:46
the very concept of a revolution,
247
754777
2316
i sam koncept revolucije
12:49
because a normal revolution is one
248
757093
2557
jer uobičajena revolucija je ona
12:51
where the power pyramid is turned upside down
249
759650
2712
gdje je piramida moći okrenuta naopako
12:54
and those who were on the bottom
are now on the top
are now on the top
250
762362
3169
i oni koji su na bili na dnu su sada na vrhu
12:57
and are doing exactly the same thing
251
765531
2159
i rade upravo ono što su
12:59
that the ones did before.
252
767690
2469
radili i oni prije njih.
13:02
What we need is a networking of smaller groups,
253
770159
4423
Ono što je nama potrebno
je umrežavanje manjih grupa,
je umrežavanje manjih grupa,
13:06
smaller and smaller groups who know one another,
254
774582
3246
sve manjih i manjih grupa
koje će se međusobno poznavati,
koje će se međusobno poznavati,
13:09
who interact with one another,
255
777828
2286
koje će međusobno djelovati
13:12
and that is a grateful world.
256
780114
2709
i to je zahvalan svijet.
13:14
A grateful world is a world of joyful people.
257
782823
4148
Zahvalan svijet je svijet sretnih ljudi.
13:18
Grateful people are joyful people,
258
786971
2671
Zahvalni ljudi su sretni ljudi
13:21
and joyful people,
259
789642
2041
i sretni ljudi,
13:23
the more and more joyful people there are,
260
791683
2634
što jei više i više sretnih ljudi
13:26
the more and more we'll have a joyful world.
261
794317
4441
imat cemo sretniji svijet.
13:30
We have a network for grateful living,
262
798758
3349
Imamo mrežu za zahvalno življenje
13:34
and it has mushroomed.
263
802107
2722
i proširila se poput gljiva.
13:36
We couldn't understand why it mushroomed.
264
804829
2447
Mi ne možemo shvatiti zbog čega se tako proširila.
13:39
We have an opportunity for people to light a candle
265
807276
3336
Imamo priliku da ljudi zapale svijeću
13:42
when they are grateful for something.
266
810612
2402
kada su zahvalni radi nečega.
13:45
And there have been 15 million candles lit
267
813014
5328
I do sada je 15 miliona svijeća zapaljeno
13:50
in one decade.
268
818342
1730
u jednom desetljeću.
13:52
People are becoming aware
269
820072
2710
Ljudi postaju svjesni
13:54
that a grateful world is a happy world,
270
822782
3424
da je zahvalan svijet sretan svijet
13:58
and we all have the opportunity
271
826206
2962
i da svi imamo priliku
14:01
by the simple stop, look, go,
272
829168
3155
da jednostavnim stani, pogledaj i kreni
14:04
to transform the world,
273
832323
2040
transformiramo svijet
14:06
to make it a happy place.
274
834363
1696
i napravimo od njega sretno mjesto.
14:08
And that is what I hope for us,
275
836059
1485
I to je ono čemu se nadam za nas
14:09
and if this has contributed a little
276
837544
2634
i ako je ovo imalo doprinijelo
14:12
to making you want to do the same,
277
840178
2281
da i vi želite učiniti isto,
14:14
stop, look, go.
278
842459
1662
zastanite, pogledajte i krenite.
14:16
Thank you.
279
844121
1356
Hvala vam.
14:17

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Steindl-Rast - MonkBrother David Steindl-Rast, a Benedictine monk, meditates and writes on "the gentle power" of gratefulness.
Why you should listen
Many first met Brother David Steindl-Rast through a viral video called "Nature. Beauty. Gratitude," where Louie Schwartzberg's footage of time-lapse flowers in bloom is narrated by Brother David's moving words asking us to simply be ... grateful. Since 1953, Brother David has been a monk of Mount Saviour Benedictine monastery in New York, dividing his time between hermitic contemplation, writing and lecturing. He's the cofounder of gratefulness.org, supporting ANG*L (A Network for Grateful Living).
He was one of the first Roman Catholics to participate in Buddhist-Christian dialogue, and is the author of The Ground We Share, a text on Buddhist and Christian practice, written with Robert Aitken Roshi. His other books include Gratefulness, the Heart of Prayer and Deeper Than Words. His most recent book is 99 Blessings, a series of prayers for the general reader -- whether people of faith, agnostics, or uncertain.
