in the most profound way,
na najdublji mogući način,

of a new way of life for my family.
načina života za moju obitelj.
asks me to play,
pita da se igramo
or where I'm going,
but I try hard to practice it.
ali trudim se to prakticirati.
zadivljujući efekt
that I fully understood it,
to playing with my children
što sam govorila "da" igranju s djecom
would call a dream job.
nazvala "posao iz snova".
I make stuff up for a living.
Maštom zarađujem za život.

oko logorske vatre
70 sati na TV-u,
campfires burning all over the world.
logorske vatre po cijelom svijetu.
ja sam titan.
da vas zadivim.
think of when you hear the word "writer."
što pomislite kad čujete "spisateljica".
out there who work so hard,
me svi vi koji naporno radite,
or a country or a classroom
državu ili učionicu,
when I talk about working,
kad govorim o poslu,
peck at a computer and imagine all day,
u računalo i ne maštam cijeli dan,
is not about dreaming.
nije sanjarenje.
all blood, all sweat, no tears.
krv, znoj i bez suza.
when I'm deep in it,
building a nation out of thin air.
građenje nacije iz ničega.
It is painting a canvas.
slikanje na platnu.
It is running a marathon.
trčanje maratona.
at the same time.
and exhausting and exhilarating
i iscrpljujuće i stimulirajuće
and clinical and maternal
i kliničko i majčinski
when the work gets good.
kada posao postane dobar.
and that hum sounds like the open road,
a zvuči kao cesta na otvorenom,
when I try to explain the hum,
pokušam objasniti to zujanje,
about the writing,
usrećuje me.
making television
rada na televiziji.
and collaborating,
i surađivati,
this buzz, this rush, this hum.
taj bzz, juriš, zujanje.
The hum is a drug.
Zujanje je droga.
The hum is light and air.
Ono je svjetlost i zrak.
težiti prema veličini.
but strive for greatness at any cost.
prema nečem velikom pod svaku cijenu.
I'm not built for failure,
to tell you I'm a titan,
da sam ja titan.
I don't want to question it.
the more barriers broken,
što je više srušenih barijera,
the more history stares,
pogleda iz prošlosti,
the marathon I'm running,
maraton koji trčim,
the high note, the hum,
visoka nota, zujanje,
are used to the truth
navikle su se na činjenicu
is a single working titan.
jedan radni titan.
but you can text my nanny."
ali možete kontaktirati moju dadilju."
I'm wanting to go to ShondaLand."
ići u ShondaLand."
when the hum stopped.
kada je zujanje prestalo.
I couldn't restart the engine.
Nisam mogla pokrenuti motor.
I always did, all the same titan work,
radila, isti titanski posao.
straight through the weekends,
rad vikendom,
a titan never sleeps, a titan never quits,
nikad ne spava i nikad se ne predaje,
three shows in production at a time,
tri serije u trenutnoj produkciji,
three shows in production at a time ...
tri serije u trenutnoj produkciji...
take home to your mother.
odveli kući svojoj majci.
and I was no longer having any fun.
i više se nisam zabavljala.
ono je bilo ja.
starts to taste like dust?
dobije okus prašine?
stupid writer titan lady."
titanska spisateljico."
if you love what you do,
ako volite ono čime se bavite,
being a mother, being a painter,
and that gives you the hum,
i to vam pruža zujanje,
if you have been to the hum,
ako ste ga iskusili,
can I survive in the silence?
mogu li preživjeti u tišini?
asks me a question.
konobarica, postavi pitanje.
I'm late, and she says,
kasnim, a ona kaže:
when I realize two things.
no shvatila sam dvije stvari.
to say yes to everything,
didn't call me "honey."
nije me oslovila sa "dušo".
"honey" anymore.
and mourning my hum,
i tugovala za zujanjem,
right before my eyes.
"Mama, želiš se igrati?"
nam se njezine sestre,
from the book Everybody Poops.
knjigu "Svi kakaju".
the marathon I'm running,
maraton koji trčim,
the high note does not exist.
ne postoje.
and tiny voices and crayons
i tihi glasići i bojice
needs to let go of.
već mora pustiti.
that I can barely breathe.
da jedva mogu disati.
but it happens, it does happen.
Uistinu se događa.
very still to hear it, but it is there.
kako bih ga čula, ali ovdje je.
a very magical secret.
spoznala magičnu tajnu.
the hum of the titan,
zujanje titana,
and how globally badass my brain is,
moj mozak super na globalnom planu,
and the hum is not work-specific.
uz određeni posao.
that comes from being excited by life.
zbog toga što ste uzbuđeni životom.
pogled iz prošlosti,
and the expectation, and the pressure.
očekivanja i pritisak.
the wrong words,
šaptao pogrešne riječi,
was telling me I was the titan?
da sam ja titan?
zamoli da se igramo,
iz jednog razloga,
of my workaholic guilt.
radoholičarske krivnje.
the way I'm interested in doing work.
koliko i za posao.
and humiliating to face.
suočiti se s istinom.
because I like working.
than I like being at home.
is incredibly difficult to handle,
neopisivo je teško
likes working more than being at home?
nego biti kod kuće?
I call myself a titan.
zovem se titanicom.
isn't that I am too relaxed.
moja prevelika opuštenost.
up and back and up and back.
gore i dolje, gore i dolje.
koje traju 30 sekundi.
and confused most of the time.
kruto, zaneseno i zbunjeno.
and the hum of the universe fills me up.
i zujanje svemira me ispunjava.
in the first place.
your child asks you to play.
zamoli da se igrate.
I'm an idiot in diamond shoes?
idiot u dijamantnim cipelama?
and you're not a Muppet.
i niste Muppet.
you're that interesting.
toliko zanimljivima.
only ever want to play with me
žele se igrati sa mnom
they want to do something else.
radije radile nešto drugo.
but it's 15 minutes.
no i dalje je to 15 minuta.
I'm invisible after 15 minutes.
nakon 15 minuta postajem nevidljiva.
a 13-year-old to talk to me for 15 minutes
mogu nagovoriti da priča sa mnom 15 minuta,
of uninterrupted time on my worst day.
minuta, čak i u najgorem danu.
You have to get dinner on the table.
Morate postaviti večeru na stol.
But you can do 15 minutes.
Ali možete naći 15 minuta.
they're my world,
ona su moj svijet,
feels more good than not good.
čini dobrim nego lošim.
In fact, I fail as often as I succeed,
Pogriješim onoliko puta koliko uspijem,
staring into space.
buljenju u prazno.
for indulging myself
za davanje sebe
the time I got my first TV show,
u vrijeme kad sam dobila prvu TV seriju,
I became a titan-in-training,
titan u treniranju,
competing with myself for ways unknown.
sa sobom na nepoznate načine.
with giving myself my full attention
u davanju potpune pozornosti
possible for the hum to return,
na koji se zujanje vratilo,
could only refuel while I was away.
napuniti samo u mojoj odsutnosti.
but after a few months,
no nakon nekoliko mjeseci,
standing in my office
u svom uredu
full on groove inside me,
nepoznatim kolosijecima,
spinning with ideas,
u vrtlog ideja,
and I can drive it and drive it,
i ja mogu voziti i voziti
but I don't love that hum.
no ne volim ga.
and dinners with friends.
i večere s prijateljima.
it is just no longer all of me,
ali ono nije ja.
about being a titan,
hoću li biti titan,
play Red Rover, Red Rover.
kako igra Red Rover, Red Rover.
and somehow I still run my world.
ali i dalje vladam svojim svijetom.
My campfires still burn.
Logorske vatre još uvijek gore.
and the happier my kids are.
i to su i moja djeca sretnija.
the more I feel like a good mother.
više se osjećam kao dobra majka.
the freer my mind becomes.
to je moj um slobodniji.
the marathon I'm running,
maraton koji trčim,
the high note, the hum, the hum,
zujanje i zujanje,
quivering, uncocooned,
drhtureći, začahureni,
the more I know who I am.
to više znam tko sam ja.
izmišljam stvari, maštam.
that's living the dream.
should be a little bit dreamy.
trebao biti sanjiviji.
opsegu posla i igranju.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Shonda Rhimes - Writer, producerWith the runaway success of shows like Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy, Shonda Rhimes has become one of Hollywood’s most powerful icons.
Why you should listen
When ABC kicked off its 2014 television season by devoting its Thursday night line-up to the Shondaland shows How to Get Away With Murder, Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy, Shonda Rhimes -- already one of the most influential producers in Hollywood -- became arguably the single most powerful voice in television today. In 2015, ABC snapped up Rhimes’ latest series, The Catch. Shondaland shows have the special ability to capture both fan devotion and critical attention – she’s won everything from a Peabody Award to a People’s Choice Award.
Rhimes is known for her groundbreaking storytelling, her candor and humor in the face of her critics, and for never shying away from speaking her mind. She’s also known for her social media savvy, and fans of her shows basically own Twitter on Thursday nights. Her first book, Year of Yes, was published in November 2015.
