I'm used to thinking of the TED audience as a wonderful collection

Solc pensar en l'audiència de TED com un meravellós conjunt
00:18
of some of the most effective, intelligent,
1
3000
2000
d'algunes de les persones més efectives, intel·ligents,
00:20
intellectual, savvy,
2
5000
3000
intel·lectuals, comprensives,
00:23
worldly and innovative people in the world.
3
8000
2000
"mundials" i innovadores de tot el món.
00:25
And I think that's true.
4
10000
2000
I crec que és cert.
00:27
However, I also have reason to believe
5
12000
2000
Per altra banda, tinc raons per creure
00:29
that many, if not most, of you
6
14000
2000
que molts, probablement la majoria, de vosaltres
00:31
are actually tying your shoes incorrectly.
7
16000
2000
us lligueu les sabates incorrectament.
00:33
(Laughter)
8
18000
2000
(Riure)
00:35
Now I know that seems ludicrous.
9
20000
2000
Sé que sembla absurd.
00:37
I know that seems ludicrous.
10
22000
2000
Sé que ho sembla.
00:39
And believe me, I lived the same sad life
11
24000
2000
I creieu-me, he viscut la mateixa trista vida
00:41
until about three years ago.
12
26000
2000
fins fa uns tres anys.
00:43
And what happened to me
13
28000
2000
I el que em va passar
00:45
was I bought, what was for me, a very expensive pair of shoes.
14
30000
3000
va ser que vaig comprar el que, per a mi, eren un parell de sabates molt cares.
00:48
But those shoes came with round nylon laces,
15
33000
3000
Però aquelles sabates venien amb cordons rodons de niló,
00:51
and I couldn't keep them tied.
16
36000
2000
i no els podia mantenir lligats.
00:53
So I went back to the store and said to the owner,
17
38000
2000
Així que vaig tornar a la botiga, i li vaig dir al propietari,
00:55
"I love the shoes, but I hate the laces."
18
40000
2000
"M'encanten les sabates, però n'odio els cordons."
00:57
He took a look and said, "Oh, you're tying them wrong."
19
42000
3000
Va fer-hi una ullada i va dir, "Oh, te les lligues malament."
01:00
Now up until that moment,
20
45000
2000
Fins aquell moment,
01:02
I would have thought that, by age 50,
21
47000
3000
creia que, tenint 50 anys,
01:05
one of the life skills that I had really nailed
22
50000
3000
una de les habilitats bàsiques de la vida que havia aconseguit clavar
01:08
was tying my shoes.
23
53000
2000
era lligar-me les sabates.
01:10
But not so -- let me demonstrate.
24
55000
3000
Però no era així, deixeu-me demostrar-ho.
01:14
This is the way
25
59000
2000
Aquesta és la manera
01:16
that most of us were taught to tie our shoes.
26
61000
3000
amb la qual la majoria ens lliguem les sabates perquè així ens ho van ensenyar.
01:22
Now as it turns out -- thank you.
27
67000
3000
Però pel que sembla ser -- gràcies.
01:25
Wait, there's more.
28
70000
2000
Espereu, no he acabat.
01:27
As it turns out,
29
72000
3000
Pel que sembla ser,
01:30
there's a strong form and a weak form of this knot,
30
75000
2000
hi ha una forma forta i una de feble de fer aquest nus,
01:32
and we were taught to tie the weak form.
31
77000
2000
i ens van ensenyar a fer-ho de la manera feble.
01:34
And here's how to tell.
32
79000
2000
I ho podeu saber per això.
01:36
If you pull the strands at the base of the knot,
33
81000
2000
Si estires els fils de la base del nus,
01:38
you will see that the bow will orient itself
34
83000
3000
veuràs que el llaç s'orientarà
01:41
down the long axis of the shoe.
35
86000
2000
cap a l'eix allargat de la sabata.
01:43
That's the weak form of the knot.
36
88000
2000
Això és la forma feble del nus.
01:45
But not to worry.
37
90000
2000
Però no us preocupeu.
01:47
If we start over
38
92000
2000
Si tornem a començar
01:49
and simply go the other direction
39
94000
2000
i simplement ho fem cap a l'altra direcció
01:51
around the bow,
40
96000
2000
al voltant del llaç,
01:53
we get this, the strong form of the knot.
41
98000
3000
ens surt això, la forma forta del nus.
01:56
And if you pull the cords under the knot,
42
101000
3000
I si estires els cordons sota el nus,
01:59
you will see that the bow orients itself
43
104000
2000
veuràs que el llaç s'orienta
02:01
along the transverse axis of the shoe.
44
106000
3000
al llarg de l'eix transvers de la sabata.
02:04
This is a stronger knot. It will come untied less often.
45
109000
3000
Aquest nus és més fort. No es deslligarà tan sovint.
02:07
It will let you down less,
46
112000
2000
Et fallarà menys.
02:09
and not only that, it looks better.
47
114000
3000
I no només això, també pinta millor.
02:12
We're going to do this one more time.
48
117000
2000
Fem-ho un altre cop, va.
02:14
(Applause)
49
119000
3000
(Aplaudiment)
02:17
Start as usual,
50
122000
4000
Comencem com sempre,
02:21
go the other way around the loop.
51
126000
2000
donem el tomb per l'altra banda al voltant del llaç.
02:23
This is a little hard for children,
52
128000
2000
Això és una mica difícil per la canalla,
02:25
but I think you can handle it.
53
130000
2000
però crec que ho podeu fer.
02:29
Pull the knot.
54
134000
2000
Estireu el nus.
02:31
There it is: the strong form of the shoe knot.
55
136000
3000
I aquí està: la forma forta del nus de la sabata.
02:34
Now, in keeping with today's theme,
56
139000
4000
I ara, seguint amb el tema d'avui,
02:38
I'd like to point out -- and something you already know --
57
143000
2000
M'agradaria dir que, i és una cosa que ja sabeu,
02:40
that sometimes a small advantage
58
145000
2000
que a vegades un petit avantatge o millora
02:42
someplace in life
59
147000
2000
enlloc a la vida
02:44
can yield tremendous results someplace else.
60
149000
3000
pot comportar formidables resultats a algun altre lloc.
02:48
Live long and prosper.
61
153000
2000
Que vagi molt bé.
02:50
(Applause)
62
155000
3000
(Aplaudiment)
