So, imagine you're standing on a street anywhere in America
0
0
4000
Kujutle, et sa seisad ükskõik millisel Ameerika tänaval
00:19
and a Japanese man comes up to you and says,
1
4000
3000
ja sulle läheneb jaapanlane, kes küsib:
00:22
"Excuse me, what is the name of this block?"
2
7000
2000
"Vabandust, mis on selle kvartali nimi?"
00:24
And you say, "I'm sorry, well, this is Oak Street, that's Elm Street.
3
9000
4000
Ja sina vastad: "Vabandust, mida? Selle tänava nimi on Oak Street ja see on Elm Street.
00:28
This is 26th, that's 27th."
4
13000
2000
See on 26. ja see 27. avenüü."
00:30
He says, "OK, but what is the name of that block?"
5
15000
2000
Tema vastab: "Selge, aga mis on selle kvartali nimi?"
00:32
You say, "Well, blocks don't have names.
6
17000
3000
Sina vastad: "Noh, kvartalitel ei ole nimesid.
00:35
Streets have names; blocks are just the
7
20000
2000
Tänavatel on nimed; kvartalid on kõigest
00:37
unnamed spaces in between streets."
8
22000
2000
nimetud paigad tänavate vahel."
00:39
He leaves, a little confused and disappointed.
9
24000
4000
Ta läheb eemale, veidi segaduses ja pettunud.
00:43
So, now imagine you're standing on a street, anywhere in Japan,
10
28000
3000
Nüüd kujuta, et sa seisad ükskõik millisel Jaapani tänaval.
00:46
you turn to a person next to you and say,
11
31000
2000
Sa pöördud kõrvalseisja poole ja küsid:
00:48
"Excuse me, what is the name of this street?"
12
33000
2000
"Vabandust, mis on selle tänava nimi?"
00:50
They say, "Oh, well that's Block 17 and this is Block 16."
13
35000
4000
Tema vastab: "See siin on 17. ja see on 16. kvartal."
00:54
And you say, "OK, but what is the name of this street?"
14
39000
3000
Sina vastad: "Selge, aga mis on selle tänava nimi?"
00:57
And they say, "Well, streets don't have names.
15
42000
2000
Ja tema vastab: "Tänavatel ei ole nimesid.
00:59
Blocks have names.
16
44000
2000
Kvartalitel on nimed.
01:01
Just look at Google Maps here. There's Block 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
17
46000
4000
Vaata seda Google Maps kaarti. Siin on kvartal 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
01:05
All of these blocks have names,
18
50000
2000
Kõigil kvartalitel on nimed.
01:07
and the streets are just the unnamed spaces in between the blocks.
19
52000
4000
Tänavad on vaid nimetud paigad kvartalite vahel.
01:11
And you say then, "OK, then how do you know your home address?"
20
56000
3000
Ja sa vastad siis: "Okei, aga kuidas sa siis oma aadressi tead?"
01:14
He said, "Well, easy, this is District Eight.
21
59000
3000
Ta vastab: "Lihtne, see on piirkond number kaheksa.
01:17
There's Block 17, house number one."
22
62000
3000
Selles on kvartal 17, maja nuber Üks."
01:20
You say, "OK, but walking around the neighborhood,
23
65000
2000
Sa mainid: "Okei. Aga ümbruskonnas jalutades
01:22
I noticed that the house numbers don't go in order."
24
67000
2000
märkasin ma, et majade numbrid ei ole järjestikused."
01:24
He says, "Of course they do. They go in the order in which they were built.
25
69000
3000
Ta vastab: "Muidugi on. Nad on järjestatud ehitamise järjekorras.
01:27
The first house ever built on a block is house number one.
26
72000
3000
Esimene maja, mis sellesse kvartalisse ehitatakse, on maja number üks.
01:30
The second house ever built is house number two.
27
75000
3000
Teisena ehitatud maja on maja number kaks.
01:33
Third is house number three. It's easy. It's obvious."
28
78000
2000
Kolmas on maja number kolm. Lihtne. See on ju ilmselge."
01:35
So, I love that sometimes we need to
29
80000
3000
Mulle meeldib, et vahetevahel peame me
01:38
go to the opposite side of the world
30
83000
2000
minema teisele poole maakera,
01:40
to realize assumptions we didn't even know we had,
31
85000
2000
et saada aru oletustest, mille olemasolu me isegi ei teadnud,
01:42
and realize that the opposite of them may also be true.
32
87000
3000
ja mõista, et vastandid võivad samuti tõesed olla.
01:45
So, for example, there are doctors in China
33
90000
2000
Näiteks, Hiinas on arstid,
01:47
who believe that it's their job to keep you healthy.
34
92000
3000
kes usuvad, et nende töö on sind tervena hoida.
01:50
So, any month you are healthy you pay them,
35
95000
2000
Seega maksad sa neile iga kuu eest, mil sa oled olnud terve,
01:52
and when you're sick you don't have to pay them because they failed
36
97000
2000
ja kui sa jääd haigeks, ei pea sa neile maksma, kuna nad ei saanud
01:54
at their job. They get rich when you're healthy, not sick.
37
99000
2000
oma tööga hakkama. Nad saavad rikkaks siis, kui sa oled terve, mitte haige.
01:56
(Applause)
38
101000
3000
(Aplaus)
01:59
In most music, we think of the "one"
39
104000
2000
Muusikas mõtleme me enamasti, et "üks"
02:01
as the downbeat, the beginning of the musical phrase: one, two, three, four.
40
106000
4000
on takti avalöök, muusikalise fraasi algus. Üks, kaks, kolm, neli.
02:05
But in West African music, the "one"
41
110000
2000
Kuid Lääne-Aafrika muusikas on "üks"
02:07
is thought of as the end of the phrase,
42
112000
2000
hoopis fraasi lõpp
02:09
like the period at the end of a sentence.
43
114000
2000
nagu paus lause lõpus.
02:11
So, you can hear it not just in the phrasing, but the way they count off their music:
44
116000
2000
Seega, seda kuuleb mitte ainult fraasides, vaid kogu nende muusikas.
02:13
two, three, four, one.
45
118000
3000
Kaks, kolm, neli, üks.
02:16
And this map is also accurate.
46
121000
3000
Ja see kaart on ka täpne.
02:19
(Laughter)
47
124000
2000
(Naer)
02:21
There's a saying that whatever true thing you can say about India,
48
126000
3000
On üks ütlus, et iga India kohta tõese väite puhul
02:24
the opposite is also true.
49
129000
2000
on ka selle vastand tõene.
02:26
So, let's never forget, whether at TED, or anywhere else,
50
131000
2000
Niisiis, ärme kunagi unusta, nii TEDi konverentsil kui kõikjal mujal,
02:28
that whatever brilliant ideas you have or hear,
51
133000
3000
et mistahes geniaalse idee puhul, mis sul on või mida sa kuuled,
02:31
that the opposite may also be true.
52
136000
2000
selle vastand võib samuti tõene olla.
02:33
Domo arigato gozaimashita.
53
138000
2000
Domo arigato gozaimashita. (Tänan!)

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."
