Hola. He vingut a parlar-vos
de la importància dels elogis,
00:22
praiselloança, admirationadmiració and thank you,
1
4000
3000
de l'admiració i de donar les gràcies,
i de fer-ho
00:25
and havingtenint it be specificespecífic and genuinegenuí.
2
7000
2000
de forma concreta i genuïna.
00:27
And the way I got interestedinteressat in this was,
3
9000
2000
Em vaig interessar per aquest tema
00:29
I noticednotat in myselfjo mateix, when I was growingcreixent up,
4
11000
3000
quan vaig descobrir que,
des que era petita
00:32
and untilfins a about a fewpocs yearsanys agofa,
5
14000
1000
i fins fa uns anys,
00:33
that I would want to say thank you to someonealgú,
6
15000
2000
volia donar les gràcies a la gent,
00:35
I would want to praiselloança them,
7
17000
1000
volia elogiar-la
00:36
I would want to take in theirels seus praiselloança of me
8
18000
2000
i rebre els seus elogis,
00:38
and I'd just stop it.
9
20000
2000
però no era capaç de fer-ho.
00:40
And I askedpreguntat myselfjo mateix, why?
10
22000
3000
I em preguntava: Per què?
00:43
I feltsentia shytímid, I feltsentia embarrassedavergonyit.
11
25000
2000
Tenia por de fer-ho,
m'avergonyia.
00:45
And then my questionpregunta becamees va convertir,
12
27000
2000
I llavors em vaig preguntar:
00:47
am I the only one who does this?
13
29000
2000
Sóc l'única a qui li passa?
00:49
So, I decidedva decidir to investigateinvestigar.
14
31000
1000
Així que vaig decidir investigar-ho.
00:50
I'm fortunatesort enoughsuficient to work in the rehabrehabilitació facilityfacilitat,
15
32000
3000
Sóc prou afortunada com per treballar
en una clínica de rehabilitació,
00:53
so I get to see people who are facingenfrontant-se life and deathmort with addictionaddicció.
16
35000
3000
on puc veure gent que es debat entre
la vida i la mort per la seva addicció.
00:56
And sometimesde vegades it comesve down to something as simplesenzill as,
17
38000
4000
I de vegades el seu trauma es redueix
a una cosa tan simple
01:00
theirels seus corenucli central woundferida is theirels seus fatherpare diedva morir withoutsense ever sayingdient he's proudorgullós of them.
18
42000
5000
com que el seu pare va morir sense
dir-los que estava orgullós d'ells.
01:05
But then, they hearescoltar from all the familyfamília and friendsamics
19
47000
2000
I llavors descobreixen
pels amics i la família
01:07
that the fatherpare told everybodytothom elsealtra cosa that he was proudorgullós of him,
20
49000
3000
que el seu pare
li ho havia dit a tothom,
01:10
but he never told the sonfill.
21
52000
1000
però mai a ells.
01:11
It's because he didn't know that his sonfill needednecessari to hearescoltar it.
22
53000
3000
Això és perquè no sabia
que el seu fill necessitava sentir-ho.
01:14
So my questionpregunta is, why don't we askpreguntar for the things that we need?
23
56000
4000
La meva pregunta és:
Per què no demanem el que necessitem?
01:18
I know a gentlemansenyor, marriedcasat for 25 yearsanys,
24
60000
2000
Conec un senyor,
casat des de fa 25 anys,
01:20
who'squi és longinganhel to hearescoltar his wifeesposa say,
25
62000
2000
que està desitjant
que la seva dona li digui:
01:22
"Thank you for beingser the breadwinnersuport, so I can stayquedar-se home with the kidsnens,"
26
64000
3000
"Gràcies per sustentar-nos.
Així puc ser a casa amb els nens".
01:25
but won'tno ho farà askpreguntar.
27
67000
1000
Però no ho demana.
01:26
I know a womandona who'squi és good at this.
28
68000
2000
Conec una dona
que té facilitat per això.
01:28
She, onceun cop a weeksetmana, meetscompleix with her husbandmarit and saysdiu,
29
70000
2000
Un cop per setmana,
parla amb el seu marit i li diu:
01:30
"I'd really like you to thank me for all these things I did in the housecasa and with the kidsnens."
30
72000
4000
"M'encantaria que m'agraïssis tot el
que he fet a la casa i amb els nens.
01:34
And he goesva, "Oh, this is great, this is great."
31
76000
3000
I ell li respon:
"Ah, fantàstic, molt ben fet."
01:37
And praiselloança really does have to be genuinegenuí,
32
79000
2000
Els elogis han de ser genuïns,
01:39
but she takes responsibilityresponsabilitat for that.
33
81000
2000
però ella se n'encarrega.
01:41
And a friendamic of minemeu, AprilAbril, who I've had sincedes de llavors kindergartenllar d'infants,
34
83000
3000
I April, una amiga que tinc
de tota la vida,
01:44
she thanksgràcies her childrennens for doing theirels seus chorestasques.
35
86000
3000
agraeix als seus fills
que ajudin a casa. Em diu:
01:47
And she said, "Why wouldn'tno ho faria I thank it, even thoughperò they're supposedsuposat to do it?"
36
89000
2000
"Per què no els ho hauria d'agrair,
encara que sigui la seva obligació."
01:49
So, the questionpregunta is, why was I blockingbloqueig it?
37
91000
2000
Per què jo ho estava evitant?
01:51
Why were other people blockingbloqueig it?
38
93000
1000
O els altres?
01:52
Why can I say, "I'll take my steakBistec mediummitjà rarepoc comú,
39
94000
3000
Per què puc dir
"vull el filet mig cru",
01:55
I need sizemida sixsis shoessabates," but I won'tno ho farà say,
40
97000
3000
o "necessito sabates de la talla 38",
però no dic
01:58
"Would you praiselloança me this way?"
41
100000
2000
"podries elogiar-me de tal manera"?
02:00
And it's because I'm givingdonant you criticalcrític datadades about me.
42
102000
4000
I és perquè així us estic donant
informació delicada sobre mi.
02:04
I'm tellingdient you where I'm insecureinsegur.
43
106000
2000
Us indico amb què em sento insegura,
02:06
I'm tellingdient you where I need your help.
44
108000
2000
on necessito ajuda.
02:08
And I'm treatingtractant you, my innerinterior circlecercle,
45
110000
3000
I us tracto a vosaltres,
el meu cercle íntim,
02:11
like you're the enemyenemic.
46
113000
2000
com el meu enemic.
02:13
Because what can you do with that datadades?
47
115000
2000
Perquè, què podríeu fer
amb aquesta informació?
02:15
You could neglectnegligència me.
48
117000
2000
Podríeu ignorar-me.
02:17
You could abuseabús it.
49
119000
1000
Us en podríeu aprofitar.
02:18
Or you could actuallyen realitat meettrobar-se my need.
50
120000
2000
O també podríeu satisfer
la meva necessitat.
02:20
And I tookva prendre my bikebicicleta into the bikebicicleta store--botiga- I love this --
51
122000
2000
Un dia vaig portar la bici a arreglar,
02:22
samemateix bikebicicleta, and they'dho farien do something calledanomenat "truingtruing" the wheelsrodes.
52
124000
3000
i em van dir que
havien d'ajustar els radis.
02:25
The guy said, "You know, when you trueveritat the wheelsrodes,
53
127000
2000
El paio em va dir:
"Si ajustes els radis,
02:27
it's going to make the bikebicicleta so much better."
54
129000
1000
la teva bici anirà molt millor."
02:28
I get the samemateix bikebicicleta back,
55
130000
2000
Em van tornar la mateixa bici.
02:30
and they'veells ho han fet takenpresa all the little warpsordits out of those samemateix wheelsrodes
56
132000
3000
Havien reparat les descompensacions
que s'havien produït
02:33
I've had for two and a halfla meitat yearsanys, and my bikebicicleta is like newnou.
57
135000
3000
a les rodes durant dos anys i mig,
i la bici va quedar com nova.
02:36
So, I'm going to challengedesafiament all of you.
58
138000
2000
Així que us proposo un repte.
02:38
I want you to trueveritat your wheelsrodes:
59
140000
2000
Vull que us ajusteu els radis:
02:40
be honesthonesta about the praiselloança that you need to hearescoltar.
60
142000
3000
Sigueu francs sobre el reconeixement
que necessiteu tenir.
02:43
What do you need to hearescoltar? Go home to your wifeesposa --
61
145000
2000
Què necessiteu que us diguin?
Aneu a la vostra dona,
02:45
go askpreguntar her, what does she need?
62
147000
2000
i pregunteu-li què necessita.
02:47
Go home to your husbandmarit -- what does he need?
63
149000
2000
O al vostre marit.
02:49

64
151000
3000
Pregunteu aquestes coses a casa,
i ajudaran la gent que us envolta.
02:52
And it's simplesenzill.
65
154000
1000
És així de fàcil.
02:53
And why should we carecura about this?
66
155000
2000
I per què ens ha d'importar?
02:55
We talk about worldmón peacepau.
67
157000
1000
Parlem de la pau mundial,
02:56
How can we have worldmón peacepau with differentdiferent culturescultures, differentdiferent languagesidiomes?
68
158000
3000
però com podem trobar l'harmonia
entre diferents països i cultures?
02:59
I think it startscomença householdllar by householdllar, undersota the samemateix roofsostre.
69
161000

Crec que s'ha de començar casa per casa,
ajudant els que viuen amb tu.
