Jedna stvar koju dijele svi ljudi jest to da svatko od nas želi biti sretan, kaže brat David Steindl-Rast, redovnik i međuvjerski učenjak. A sreća, tvrdi on, se rađa iz zahvalnosti. Nadahnjujuće predavanje o usporavanju, gledanju kamo idemo i, nadasve, o tome kako biti zahvalan.

There is something
0
496
2150
Postoji nešto
00:14
you know about me, something very personal,
1
2646
5324
što znate o meni,
nešto vrlo osobno,
nešto vrlo osobno,
00:19
and there is something I know about
2
7970
2238
a postoji i nešto što ja znam
00:22
every one of you
3
10208
2342
o svakome od vas,
00:24
and that's very central to your concerns.
4
12550
4113
nešto što je u samom
središtu vaših interesa.
središtu vaših interesa.
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,
bilo gdje na svijetu,
00:33
on the street,
7
21854
3465
na ulici,
00:37
that is the very mainspring
8
25319
2991
nešto što je glavni pokretač
00:40
of whatever they do
9
28310
1859
svega što oni rade
00:42
and whatever they put up with,
10
30169
3878
i svega što podnose,
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
To nam je svima zajedničko.
00:55
How we imagine our happiness,
14
43203
3492
Ono kako zamišljamo svoju sreću
00:58
that differs from one another,
15
46695
2006
razlikuje se od
pojedinca do pojedinca,
pojedinca do pojedinca,
01:00
but it's already a lot that we have all in common,
16
48701
4828
no već je puno i to
što nam je zajedničko:
što nam je zajedničko:
01:05
that we want to be happy.
17
53529
3635
Mi želimo biti sretni.
01:09
Now my topic is gratefulness.
18
57164
3322
Moja tema je zahvalnost.
01:12
How is the connection between
19
60486
2802
Kakva 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 bi rekli da je to
vrlo jednostavno.
vrlo jednostavno.
01:22
When you are happy, you are grateful.
22
70328
4003
Kad ste sretni,
onda ste i zahvalni.
onda ste i zahvalni.
01:26
But think again.
23
74331
3219
No, promislimo malo.
01:29
Is it really the happy people that are grateful?
24
77550
5359
Jesu li sretni ljudi
uistinu ti koji su zahvalni?
uistinu ti koji su zahvalni?
01:34
We all know quite a number of people
25
82909
3733
Svi poznajemo mnogo ljudi
01:38
who have everything that it would take to be happy,
26
86642
4201
koji imaju sve što im
treba da bi bili sretni,
treba da bi bili sretni,
01:42
and they are not happy,
27
90843
1781
no 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 žele više od onoga što imaju.
01:50
And we all know people
30
98173
2554
Svi poznajemo ljude
01:52
who have lots of misfortune,
31
100727
4294
koje su brojne nedaće pogodile,
01:57
misfortune that we ourselves would not want to have,
32
105021
3801
nedaće kakve mi sami
ne bismo željeli imati,
ne bismo željeli imati,
02:00
and they are deeply happy.
33
108822
2752
a oni su istinski sretni.
02:03
They radiate happiness. You are surprised.
34
111574
3443
Oni zrače srećom.
Iznenađeni ste.
Iznenađeni ste.
02:07
Why? Because they are grateful.
35
115017
3331
Zašto? Zato što su zahvalni.
02:10
So it is not happiness that makes us grateful.
36
118348
3877
Dakle, sreća nas ne čini zahvalnima.
02:14
It's gratefulness that makes us happy.
37
122225
3520
Zahvalnost je ta koja nas usrećuje.
02:17
If you think it's happiness that makes you grateful,
38
125745
3031
Ako mislite da je sreća ono
što vas čini zahvalnima,
što vas čini zahvalnima,
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 usrećuje.
02:26
Now, we can ask,
41
134293
2512
Možemo se upitati
02:28
what really do we mean by gratefulness?
42
136805
3824
što točno podrazumijevamo
pod zahvalnošću?
pod zahvalnošću?
02:32
And how does it work?
43
140629
5356
I kako ona djeluje?
02:37
I appeal to your own experience.
44
145985
1990
Obraćam se vašem
vlastitom iskustvu.
vlastitom iskustvu.
02:39
We all know from experience how it goes.
45
147975
3080
Svi iz iskustva znamo
kako to funkcionira.
kako to funkcionira.
02:43
We experience something
46
151055
2396
Doživimo nešto
02:45
that's valuable to us.
47
153451
3118
što nam je vrijedno.
02:48
Something is given to us that's valuable to us.
48
156569
5356
Darovano nam je nešto
što nam je vrijedno.
što nam je vrijedno.
02:53
And it's really given.
49
161925
1946
I to se doista podrazumijeva.
02:55
These two things have to come together.
50
163871
2243
Ovo dvoje mora postojati.
02:58
It has to be something valuable,
51
166114
3522
To mora biti nešto vrijedno,
03:01
and it's a real gift.
52
169636
1888
i to je pravi dar.
03:03
You haven't bought it. You haven't earned it.
53
171524
3237
Niste to kupili.
Niste to zaradili.
Niste to zaradili.
03:06
You haven't traded it in. You haven't worked for it.
54
174761
2321
Niste to razmijenili.
Niste za to radili.
Niste za to radili.
03:09
It's just given to you.
55
177082
1739
To vam je naprosto dano.
03:10
And when these two things come together,
56
178821
2267
Kad su ta dva uvjeta ispunjena,
03:13
something that's really valuable to me
57
181088
2277
nešto što mi je zaista vrijedno,
03:15
and I realize it's freely given,
58
183365
3372
i ja shvaćam da je
to besplatan dar,
to besplatan dar,
03:18
then gratefulness spontaneously
59
186737
3015
tada zahvalnost spontano
03:21
rises in my heart,
60
189752
1922
izranja u mom srcu,
03:23
happiness spontaneously rises in my heart.
61
191674
4363
radost se spontano
budi u mom srcu.
budi u mom srcu.
03:28
That's how gratefulness happens.
62
196037
3509
Tako se rađa zahvalnost.
03:31
Now the key to all this is that
63
199546
7835
Ključ svega ovoga je da
03:39
we cannot only experience this once in a while.
64
207381
5616
to ne možemo samo
povremeno iskusiti.
povremeno iskusiti.
03:44
We cannot only have grateful experiences.
65
212997
3758
Ne možemo samo imati
iskustva zahvalnosti.
iskustva zahvalnosti.
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
Zahvalno življenje, to je prava 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
Stjecanjem iskustava,
osvještavanjem
osvještavanjem
04:04
that every moment is a given moment, as we say.
70
232389
4904
da je svaki trenutak dar,
kako to znamo reći.
kako to znamo reći.
04:09
It's a gift. You haven't earned it.
71
237293
2605
To je dar.
Niste ga zaslužili.
Niste ga zaslužili.
04:11
You haven't brought it about in any way.
72
239898
2907
Ni na koji ga način
niste uzrokovali.
niste uzrokovali.
04:14
You have no way of assuring that there will be
73
242805
3972
Ne postoji način da si osiguramo
04:18
another moment given to you,
74
246777
2140
još takvih darovanih trenutaka,
04:20
and yet, that's the most valuable thing
75
248917
2900
pa, ipak, to je najvrednije
04:23
that can ever be given to us,
76
251817
2189
što će nam ikada biti dano,
04:26
this moment, with all the opportunity that it contains.
77
254006
5512
ovaj trenutak, sa svim
mogućnostima koje uključuje.
mogućnostima koje uključuje.
04:31
If we didn't have this present moment,
78
259518
2664
Kad ne bi bilo ovog sadašnjeg trenutka,
04:34
we wouldn't have any opportunity to do anything
79
262182
3200
ne bismo imali prilike učiniti ništa
04:37
or experience anything,
80
265382
1848
niti išta iskusiti,
04:39
and this moment is a gift.
81
267230
1840
tako da je sadašnji trenutak dar.
04:41
It's a given moment, as we say.
82
269070
2642
Kažemo da je to darovan trenutak.
04:43
Now, we say the gift within this gift
83
271712
4073
Kažemo da je dar unutar ovoga dara
04:47
is really the opportunity.
84
275785
2567
prava prilika.
04:50
What you are really grateful for is the opportunity,
85
278352
4566
Ono za što smo uistinu zahvalni jest prilika,
04:54
not the thing that is given to you,
86
282918
1958
ne sama stvar koja vam je dana,
04:56
because if that thing were somewhere else
87
284876
1979
jer, da je ta stvar negdje drugdje
04:58
and you didn't have the opportunity to enjoy it,
88
286855
3336
i da nemate priliku uživati u njoj,
05:02
to do something with it,
89
290191
2245
napraviti nešto s njom,
05:04
you wouldn't be grateful for it.
90
292436
2590
ne biste bili zahvalni na njoj.
05:07
Opportunity is the gift within every gift,
91
295026
4143
Prilika je dar unutar svakog dara,
05:11
and we have this saying,
92
299169
2352
i postoji izreka
05:13
opportunity knocks only once.
93
301521
4248
da prilika samo jednom kuca na vrata.
05:17
Well, think again.
94
305769
2699
No, u krivu smo.
05:20
Every moment is a new gift, over and over again,
95
308468
4422
Svaki trenutak je novi dar, opet i opet,
05:24
and if you miss the opportunity of this moment,
96
312890
3268
i ako propustite priliku ovoga trenutka,
05:28
another moment is given to us, and another moment.
97
316158
4017
darovan vam je novi trenutak, i zatim slijedeći novi.
05:32
We can avail ourselves of this opportunity,
98
320175
2714
Možemo iskoristiti tu priliku,
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
a ako iskoristimo tu priliku,
05:40
it is the key to happiness.
101
328492
3019
to je ključ radosti.
05:43
Behold the master key to our happiness
102
331511
3265
Pogledate glavni ključ naše sreće
05:46
in our own hands.
103
334776
1803
u našim rukama.
05:48
Moment by moment,
104
336579
1942
Trenutak za trenutkom,
05:50
we can be grateful for this gift.
105
338521
3072
možemo biti zahvalni na tom daru.
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 za sve?
05:59
Certainly not.
108
347629
1903
Sigurno da ne možemo.
06:01
We cannot be grateful for violence, for war,
109
349532
5005
Ne možemo biti zahvalni za nasilje, rat,
06:06
for oppression, for exploitation.
110
354537
2823
za ugnjetavanje, izrabljivanje.
06:09
On the personal level, we cannot be grateful
111
357360
2641
Na osobnoj razini, ne možemo biti zahvalni
06:12
for the loss of a friend, for unfaithfulness,
112
360001
3423
za gubitak prijatelja, za nevjernost,
06:15
for bereavement.
113
363424
3246
za težak gubitak.
06:18
But I didn't say we can be grateful for everything.
114
366670
3857
No, nisam rekao da možemo biti zahvalni za sve.
06:22
I said we can be grateful in every given moment
115
370527
4278
Rekao sam da možemo biti zahvalni u svakom danom trenutku
06:26
for the opportunity,
116
374805
2082
za priliku,
06:28
and even when we are confronted
117
376887
3253
i čak kada smo suočeni
06:32
with something that is terribly difficult,
118
380140
3166
s nekom iznimno velikom poteškoćom,
06:35
we can rise to this occasion
119
383306
2540
možemo pokazati da smo dorasli situaciji
06:37
and respond to the opportunity that is given to us.
120
385846
4255
i odgovoriti na priliku koja nam se nudi.
06:42
It isn't as bad as it might seem.
121
390101
2375
Nije tako loše kako se možda čini.
06:44
Actually, when you look at it and experience it,
122
392476
3893
Zapravo, kada to malo bolje razmotrite i iskusite,
06:48
you find that most of the time, what is given to us
123
396369
4078
shvatite da vam je većinu vremena darovana
06:52
is opportunity to enjoy,
124
400447
2375
prilika da uživate,
06:54
and we only miss it because
125
402822
1967
a mi je propuštamo jedino zato što
06:56
we are rushing through life
126
404789
1263
žurimo kroz život
06:58
and we are not stopping to see the opportunity.
127
406052
3867
i ne stajemo da uočimo priliku.
07:01
But once in a while,
128
409919
1431
No, svako malo
07:03
something very difficult is given to us,
129
411350
2946
dano nam je nešto vrlo teško,
07:06
and when this difficult thing occurs to us,
130
414296
3981
i kada nam se dogodi ta poteškoća,
07:10
it's a challenge to rise to that opportunity,
131
418277
4438
to je izazov da se suočimo s tom prilikom,
07:14
and we can rise to it by learning something
132
422715
3211
i možemo se suočiti s njom tako da nešto naučimo
07:17
which is sometimes painful.
133
425926
1950
što katkad može biti bolno.
07:19
Learning patience, for instance.
134
427876
2087
Primjerice, učiti se strpljivosti.
07:21
We have been told that the road to peace
135
429963
2997
Rečeno nam je 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 nalikuje na maraton.
07:28
That takes patience. That's difficult.
138
436728
3711
Za to treba strpljenja. To je teško.
07:32
It may be to stand up for your opinion,
139
440439
3832
To može biti i potreba da se zauzmete za svoj stav,
07:36
to stand up for your conviction.
140
444271
2855
za vaše uvjerenje.
07:39
That's an opportunity that is given to us.
141
447126
3031
To je prilika koja nam je dana.
07:42
To learn, to suffer, to stand up,
142
450157
3606
Da učimo, patimo, da se zauzmemo za sebe,
07:45
all these opportunities are given to us,
143
453763
2370
sve ove prilike su nam dane,
07:48
but they are opportunities,
144
456133
1506
no one su prilike,
07:49
and those who avail themselves
145
457639
1659
a oni koji iskoriste
07:51
of those opportunities
146
459298
2217
te prilike
07:53
are the ones that we admire.
147
461515
2127
su osobe kojima se divimo.
07:55
They make something out of life.
148
463642
2087
Oni rade nešto od svojih života.
07:57
And those who fail get another opportunity.
149
465729
5088
A oni koji ih ne iskoriste, dobiju drugu priliku.
08:02
We always get another opportunity.
150
470817
2423
Uvijek dobijemo drugu priliku.
08:05
That's the wonderful richness of life.
151
473240
5032
To je predivno bogatstvo života.
08:10
So how can we find a method
152
478272
4491
Kako onda možemo pronaći metodu
08:14
that will harness this?
153
482763
2058
kojom ćemo ovo moći iskoristiti?
08:16
How can each one of us find a method
154
484821
3096
Kako svatko od nas može pronaći metodu
08:19
for living gratefully,
155
487917
1934
za zahvalno življenje,
08:21
not just once in a while being grateful,
156
489851
1817
ne da smo zahvalni samo tu i tamo,
08:23
but moment by moment to be grateful.
157
491668
2544
već da smo zahvalni u svakom trenutku.
08:26
How can we do it?
158
494212
1425
Kako to možemo postići?
08:27
It's a very simple method.
159
495637
2330
To je vrlo jednostavna meoda.
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
08:34
as children when we learned to cross the street.
161
502354
3528
kada smo kao djeca učili prelaziti cestu.
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
No, koliko često stajemo?
08:45
We rush through life. We don't stop.
165
513982
2769
Žurimo kroz život. 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 umiriti.
08:58
And we have to build stop signs
168
526089
3094
I moramo uvesti stop znakove
09:01
into our lives.
169
529183
2373
u naše živote.
09:03
When I was in Africa some years ago
170
531556
3492
Kada sam prije nekoliko godina bio u Africi
09:07
and then came back,
171
535048
1482
i potom se vratio,
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
U Africi gdje sam bio nisam imao pitke vode.
09:15
Every time I turned on the faucet,
174
543293
2274
Svaki put kada bih okrenuo slavinu,
09:17
I was overwhelmed.
175
545567
2500
preplavili bi me osjećaji.
09:20
Every time I clicked on the light,
176
548067
2526
Svaki put kada bih upalio svjetlo,
09:22
I was so grateful. It made me so happy.
177
550593
2648
bio sam toliko zahvalan. To me je činilo jako sretnim.
09:25
But after a while, this wears off.
178
553241
2007
No, to nakon nekog vremena prođe.
09:27
So I put little stickers on the light switch
179
555248
3786
Tako da sam stavio male naljepnice na prekidač
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 kada bih je okrenuo - voda.
09:35
So leave it up to your own imagination.
182
563817
2880
Ostavljam vam na to maštu.
09:38
You can find whatever works best for you,
183
566697
1938
Možete pronaći što vama najbolje odgovara
09:40
but you need stop signs in your life.
184
568635
3461
ali potrebni su vam stop znakovi u vašem životu.
09:44
And when you stop,
185
572096
2133
I kada stanete,
09:46
then the next thing is to look.
186
574229
2228
slijedeća stvar jest da promatrate.
09:48
You look. You open your eyes.
187
576457
2528
Gledate. Otvarate oči.
09:50
You open your ears. You open your nose.
188
578985
2286
Otvarate uši. Otvarate 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 to predivno bogatstvo koje nam je dano.
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 u tome je smisao života,
10:03
to enjoy, to enjoy what is given to us.
193
591121
3811
uživati u onome što nam je dano.
10:06
And then we can also open our hearts,
194
594932
2615
Tada možemo i otvoriti svoja srca,
10:09
our hearts for the opportunities,
195
597547
3074
za prilike,
10:12
for the opportunities also to help others,
196
600621
3242
također za prilike da pomognemo drugima,
10:15
to make others happy, because
nothing makes us more happy
nothing makes us more happy
197
603863
3232
da druge usrećimo, jer nas ništa ne usrećuje više
10:19
than when all of us are happy.
198
607095
3504
od toga da smo svi sretni.
10:22
And when we open our hearts to the opportunities,
199
610599
4302
Kada otvorimo svoja srca prilikama,
10:26
the opportunities invite us to do something,
200
614901
3336
one nas pozivaju da nešto učinimo,
10:30
and that is the third.
201
618237
1651
i to je treća instanca.
10:31
Stop, look, and then go, and really do something.
202
619888
4373
Stani, pogledaj, a potom kreni i zaista učini nešto.
10:36
And what we can do is
203
624261
2128
Ono što možemo učiniti jest
10:38
whatever life offers to you in that present moment.
204
626389
4252
štogod nam život nudi u tom trenutku.
10:42
Mostly it's the opportunity to enjoy,
205
630641
5067
Najčešće je to prilika da uživamo,
10:47
but sometimes it's something more difficult.
206
635708
3324
no ponekad je to nešto teže.
10:51
But whatever it is, if we take this opportunity,
207
639032
4028
No, štogod da jest, ako iskoristimo tu priliku,
10:55
we go with it, we are creative,
208
643060
3298
idemo s njom, 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
taj maleni savjet stani, pogledaj, kreni,
11:04
is such a potent seed
211
652559
2272
je toliko snažan
11:06
that it can revolutionize our world.
212
654831
3669
da može revolucionirati naš svijet.
11:10
Because we need, we are at the present moment
213
658500
5320
Budući da to trebamo, mi smo u sadašnjem trenutku
11:15
in the middle of a change of consciousness,
214
663820
3336
usred promjene 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 spomene riječ "zahvalnost".
11:27
Everywhere you find it,
218
675616
1674
Nalazimo je posvuda,
11:29
a grateful airline, a restaurant gratefulness,
219
677290
3279
zahvalna avio kompanija, restoranska zahvalnost,
11:32
a cafe gratefulness, a wine that is gratefulness.
220
680569
2997
kafić zahvalnosti, vino koje je zahvalnost.
11:35
Yes, I have even come across a toilet paper
221
683566
3487
Čak sam naišao na toaletni papir
11:39
that the brand is called Thank You. (Laughter)
222
687053
3987
čiji je naziv brenda Hvala. (Smijeh)
11:43
There is a wave of gratefulness because
223
691040
2241
Postoji val zahvalnosti jer
11:45
people are becoming aware how important this is
224
693281
3531
ljudi postaju svjesni koliko je to važno
11:48
and how this can change our world.
225
696812
2945
i koliko to može promijeniti naš svijet.
11:51
It can change our world
226
699757
2255
To može promijenti naš svijet,
11:54
in immensely important ways,
227
702012
4512
na neizmjerno bitne načine,
11:58
because if you're grateful, you're not fearful,
228
706524
3489
jer ako ste zahvalni, niste ustrašeni,
12:02
and if you're not fearful, you're not violent.
229
710013
3508
a ako niste ustrašeni, niste nasilni.
12:05
If you're grateful, you act out of a sense of enough
230
713521
4186
Ako ste zahvalni, djelujete na temelju dostatnosti,
12:09
and not of a sense of scarcity,
231
717707
2261
a ne na temelju nedostatka,
12:11
and you are willing to share.
232
719968
1882
i voljni ste dijeliti s drugima.
12:13
If you are grateful, you are enjoying
233
721850
2216
Ako ste zahvalni, uživate u
12:16
the differences between people,
234
724066
1883
razlikama među ljudima,
12:17
and you are respectful to everybody,
235
725949
2447
i imate poštovanja prema svakome,
12:20
and that changes this power pyramid
236
728396
2281
to mijenja piramidu moći
12:22
under which we live.
237
730677
1279
pod kojom živimo.
12:23
And it doesn't make for equality,
238
731956
2979
To ne doprinosi 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
i to je bitna stvar.
12:31
The future of the world will be a network,
241
739161
3700
Budućnost našeg svijeta je mreža,
12:34
not a pyramid, not a pyramid turned upside down.
242
742861
3650
a ne obrnuto okrenuta piramida.
12:38
The revolution of which I am speaking
243
746511
2249
Revolucija o kojoj pričam
12:40
is a nonviolent revolution,
244
748760
2187
je nenasilna revolucija,
12:42
and it's so revolutionary
245
750947
1731
i tako je revolucionarna
12:44
that it even revolutionizes
246
752678
2099
da čak revolucionarizira
12:46
the very concept of a revolution,
247
754777
2316
samu ideju revolucije,
12:49
because a normal revolution is one
248
757093
2557
budući da normalna revolucija
12:51
where the power pyramid is turned upside down
249
759650
2712
uključuje okretanje piramide moći,
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 bili na dnu sada su na vrhu
12:57
and are doing exactly the same thing
251
765531
2159
i rade upravo istu stvar
12:59
that the ones did before.
252
767690
2469
koju su radili njihovi prethodnici.
13:02
What we need is a networking of smaller groups,
253
770159
4423
Potrebno nam je umreženje manjih skupina,
13:06
smaller and smaller groups who know one another,
254
774582
3246
manjih i manjih skupina koje se međusobno znaju,
13:09
who interact with one another,
255
777828
2286
koje međusobno djeluju,
13:12
and that is a grateful world.
256
780114
2709
a to je zahvalan svijet.
13:14
A grateful world is a world of joyful people.
257
782823
4148
Zahvalan svijet je svijet radosnih ljudi.
13:18
Grateful people are joyful people,
258
786971
2671
Zahvalni ljudi su radosni ljudi,
13:21
and joyful people,
259
789642
2041
a radosni ljudi,
13:23
the more and more joyful people there are,
260
791683
2634
što je više radosnih ljudi,
13:26
the more and more we'll have a joyful world.
261
794317
4441
to ćemo imati radosniji 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 ona se brzo razvila.
13:36
We couldn't understand why it mushroomed.
264
804829
2447
Ne možemo razumijeti zašto se razvila.
13:39
We have an opportunity for people to light a candle
265
807276
3336
Ljudi imaju priliku upali svijeću
13:42
when they are grateful for something.
266
810612
2402
kada su zahvalni za nešto.
13:45
And there have been 15 million candles lit
267
813014
5328
A u jednom desetljeću je bilo upaljeno
13:50
in one decade.
268
818342
1730
15 milijuna svijeća.
13:52
People are becoming aware
269
820072
2710
Ljudi postaju svijesni
13:54
that a grateful world is a happy world,
270
822782
3424
da je zahvalan svijet radostan svijet,
13:58
and we all have the opportunity
271
826206
2962
i svi imamo priliku
14:01
by the simple stop, look, go,
272
829168
3155
jednostavnim stani, pogledaj, kreni,
14:04
to transform the world,
273
832323
2040
promijeniti svijet,
14:06
to make it a happy place.
274
834363
1696
učiniti ga radosnim mjestom.
14:08
And that is what I hope for us,
275
836059
1485
Tome se nadam,
14:09
and if this has contributed a little
276
837544
2634
i ako je ovo imalo pridonijelo
14:12
to making you want to do the same,
277
840178
2281
tome da i vi poželite učiniti isto,
14:14
stop, look, go.
278
842459
1662
stanite, pogledajte, krenite.
14:16
Thank you.
279
844121
1356
Hvala vam.
14:17
(Applause)

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.
