Kuntahay nga nagtindog ka sa usa ka dalan sa Amerika
00:19
and a Japanese man comes up to you and says,
1
4000
3000
og niduol ang usa ka Japanese og nangutana,
00:22
"Excuse me, what is the name of this block?"
2
7000
2000
"Excuse me, unsay ngalan aning block?"
00:24
And you say, "I'm sorry, well, this is Oak Street, that's Elm Street.

Og nitubag ka, "Ay, pasayloa ko. Mao kini ang Oak Street, og kana ang Elm Street.
00:28
This is 26th, that's 27th."
4
13000
2000
Kani ang 26th, og kana ang 27th."
00:30
He says, "OK, but what is the name of that block?"
5
15000
2000
Ingon na pod siya, "Ah okay. Kanang block, unsay ngalan ana?"
00:32
You say, "Well, blocks don't have names.
6
17000
3000
Motubag pod ka, "Ay, walay ngalan ang mga blocks."
00:35
Streets have names; blocks are just the
7
20000
2000
Naay ngalan ang mga dalan; kanang blocks kay
00:37
unnamed spaces in between streets."
8
22000
2000
mga lote ra na sila nga naa sa tunga sa mga dalan."
00:39
He leaves, a little confused and disappointed.
9
24000
4000
Nihawa dayon siya, morag wala nalipay og nalibug hinuon.
00:43
So, now imagine you're standing on a street, anywhere in Japan,
10
28000
3000
Karon, kuntahay nga nagtindog ka sa usa ka dalan didto sa Japan,
00:46
you turn to a person next to you and say,
11
31000
2000
niduol ka sa usa ka tawo og nangutana,
00:48
"Excuse me, what is the name of this street?"
12
33000
2000
"Excuse me, unsay ngalan aning dalana?"
00:50
They say, "Oh, well that's Block 17 and this is Block 16."
13
35000
4000
Muingon siya, "Ah, kana kay block 17 og kana kay block 16."
00:54
And you say, "OK, but what is the name of this street?"
14
39000
3000
Moingon pod ka, "Okay, apan unsay ngalan anang dalana?"
00:57
And they say, "Well, streets don't have names.
15
42000
2000
Motobag pod siya, "Ah, walay ngalan ang mga dalan.
00:59
Blocks have names.
16
44000
2000
Naay ngalan ang mga blocks.
01:01
Just look at Google Maps here. There's Block 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
17
46000
4000
Tan-awa ning Google Maps. Kana ang block 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
01:05
All of these blocks have names,
18
50000
2000
Kaning tanan nga blocks naay ngalan.
01:07
and the streets are just the unnamed spaces in between the blocks.
19
52000
4000
Kanang mga dalan kay mga bakanteng agi-anan sa tunga sa mga blocks.
01:11
And you say then, "OK, then how do you know your home address?"
20
56000
3000
Og mangutana na pod ka, "Okay, unsaon man nimo pagkahibalo sa address sa balay?"
01:14
He said, "Well, easy, this is District Eight.
21
59000
3000
Moingon siya, "Ah, dali ra, kani ang District Eight.
01:17
There's Block 17, house number one."
22
62000
3000
Kana ang block 17, pinakaunang balay."
01:20
You say, "OK, but walking around the neighborhood,
23
65000
2000
Moingon ka, "Okay. Nituyok-tuyok ko sa palibot diri,
01:22
I noticed that the house numbers don't go in order."
24
67000
2000
morag dili man sunod-sunod ang mga numbers sa balay."
01:24
He says, "Of course they do. They go in the order in which they were built.
25
69000
3000
Ingon pod siya, "Sunod-sunod oy. Ginaapod-apod ang number sa kung kinsay naunang magtukod.
01:27
The first house ever built on a block is house number one.
26
72000
3000
Ang pinakaunang balay nga gitukod sa block kay ang number one.
01:30
The second house ever built is house number two.
27
75000
3000
Ang ikaduha nga balay nga gitukod kay ang number two.
01:33
Third is house number three. It's easy. It's obvious."
28
78000
2000
Ang ikatulo kay number three. Dali ra god. Obvious baya."
01:35
So, I love that sometimes we need to
29
80000
3000
Busa, usahay didto pa nato mahibal-an
01:38
go to the opposite side of the world
30
83000
2000
sa pikas bahin sa kalibutan
01:40
to realize assumptions we didn't even know we had,
31
85000
2000
aron masayod ta sa mga butang nga abi natog wala ra,
01:42
and realize that the opposite of them may also be true.
32
87000
3000
og maingon nga ang baligtad ana nila kay tinuod pod.
01:45
So, for example, there are doctors in China
33
90000
2000
Naay mga doktor sa China
01:47
who believe that it's their job to keep you healthy.
34
92000
3000
nga mituo nga ang ilang trabaho kay himuon ka nilang baskog pirminti.
01:50
So, any month you are healthy you pay them,
35
95000
2000
Busa, magbayad ka sa ila sa mga bulan nga limsog imong pamati,
01:52
and when you're sick you don't have to pay them because they failed
36
97000
2000
apan kung naa kay sakit dili ka magabayad kay wala nila nahimo
01:54
at their job. They get rich when you're healthy, not sick.
37
99000
2000
ang ilang trabaho. Modato sila kon himsog ka, dili kon naay kay sakit.
01:56
(Applause)
38
101000
3000
(Gipalakpakan)
01:59
In most music, we think of the "one"
39
104000
2000
Sa kadaghanan nga music ang "usa"
02:01
as the downbeat, the beginning of the musical phrase: one, two, three, four.
40
106000
4000
kay ang downbeat, ang maoy sugod sa musical phrase. Usa, duha tulo upat.
02:05
But in West African music, the "one"
41
110000
2000
Pero sa West African music ang "usa"
02:07
is thought of as the end of the phrase,
42
112000
2000
maoy tumoy sa phrase,
02:09
like the period at the end of a sentence.
43
114000
2000
nga morag period sa tumoy sa sentence.
02:11
So, you can hear it not just in the phrasing, but the way they count off their music:
44
116000
2000
Busa, madungog nimo dili lang kay phrasing, apil pod ang pag-ihap nila sa music.
02:13
two, three, four, one.
45
118000
3000
Duha, tulo, upat, isa.
02:16
And this map is also accurate.
46
121000
3000
Og kaning mapa kay sigo ra pod.
02:19
(Laughter)
47
124000
2000
(Ningkatawa tanan)
02:21
There's a saying that whatever true thing you can say about India,
48
126000
3000
Naay ginaingon nga sa India kung unsa man ang tinuod,
02:24
the opposite is also true.
49
129000
2000
ang baligtad kay tinuod pod.
02:26
So, let's never forget, whether at TED, or anywhere else,
50
131000
2000
Busa, dili unta nato kalimtan, sa TED o sa bisag asa pa,
02:28
that whatever brilliant ideas you have or hear,
51
133000
3000
nga tanang kuyaw nga butang na atong makita o madungog,
02:31
that the opposite may also be true.
52
136000
2000
basin tinuod pod ang iyang baligtad.
02:33
Domo arigato gozaimashita.
53
138000
2000
Daghang salamat sa inyo nga tanan.

Why you should listen
Derek Sivers is best known as the founder of CD Baby. A professional musician since 1987, he started CD Baby by accident in 1998 when he was selling his own CD on his website, and friends asked if he could sell theirs, too. CD Baby was the largest seller of independent music on the web, with over $100M in sales for over 150,000 musician clients.
In 2008, Sivers sold CD Baby to focus on his new ventures to benefit musicians, including his new company, MuckWork, where teams of efficient assistants help musicians do their "uncreative dirty work."
