And he would tell the childdijete, a four-year-oldčetiri-godišnjak kiddijete,
6
21000
3000
I rekao bi djetetu, četverogodišnjem djetetu,
00:42
"JohnnyJohnny, I am going to leavenapustiti you here with a marshmallowbijeli sljez

51
144000
3000

02:45
So I wentotišao to ColombiaKolumbija. And I reproducedreproducirati the experimenteksperiment.
52
147000
3000
I onda sam otišao u Kolumbiju. I ponovio eksperiment.
02:48
And it was very funnysmiješno. I used fourčetiri, fivepet and sixšest yearsgodina oldstar kidsdjeca.
53
150000
3000
I bilo je vrlo smiješno. Koristio sam četverogodišnju, petogodišnju i šestogodišnju djecu.
02:51
And let me showpokazati you what happeneddogodilo.
54
153000
3000
I dopustite mi da vam pokažem što se dogodilo.
03:09
(Spanishšpanjolski) (LaughterSmijeh)
55
171000
4000
(Smijeh)
04:50
So what happeneddogodilo in ColombiaKolumbija?
56
272000
2000
Dakle, što se dogodilo u Kolumbiji?
04:52
HispanicLatino kidsdjeca, two out of threetri atejeli the marshmallowbijeli sljez;
57
274000
3000
Latinoamerička djeca, dvoje od troje pojelo je sljezov kolačić.
04:55
one out of threetri did not.
58
277000
2000
Jedno od troje nije.
04:57
This little girldjevojka was interestingzanimljiv;
59
279000
2000
Ova mala djevojčica bila je zanimljiva.
04:59
she atejeli the insideiznutra of the marshmallowbijeli sljez.
60
281000
2000
Pojela je unutrašnjost sljezovog kolačića.
05:01
(LaughterSmijeh)
61
283000
1000
(Smijeh)
05:02
In other wordsriječi, she wanted us to think that she had not eatenjede it, so she would get two.
62
284000
4000
Drugim riječima, željela je da mislimo kako ga nije pojela zato da bi dobila dva kolačića.
05:06
But she atejeli it.
63
288000
2000
Ali, jela ga je.
05:08
So we know she'llljuska be successfuluspješan. But we have to watch her.
64
290000
3000
Mi znamo da će ona biti uspješna. Ali moramo pripaziti na nju.
05:11
(LaughterSmijeh)
65
293000
1000
(Smijeh)
05:12
She should not go into bankingbankarstvo, for exampleprimjer,
66
294000
3000
Ne bi se trebala baviti bankarstvom, na primjer,
05:15
or work at a cashunovčiti registerRegistrirajte se.
67
297000
2000
ili raditi na blagajni.
05:17
But she will be successfuluspješan.
68
299000
2000
Ali ona će biti uspješna.
05:19
And this appliesvrijedi for everything. Even in salesprodajni.
69
301000
2000
I ovo se može primijeniti svugdje. Čak i u prodaji.
05:21
The salesprodajni personosoba that --
70
303000
4000
Trgovac koji –
05:25
the customerkupac sayskaže, "I want that." And the personosoba sayskaže, "Okay, here you are."
71
307000
2000
Kupac kaže, „Želim to“. Osoba odgovara, „U redu, izvolite.“
05:27
That personosoba atejeli the marshmallowbijeli sljez.
72
309000
2000
Ta je osoba pojela sljezov kolačić.
05:29
If the salesprodajni personosoba sayskaže, "Wait a seconddrugi.
73
311000
2000
Ako trgovac kaže, „Pričekajte trenutak.
05:31
Let me askpitati you a fewnekoliko questionspitanja to see if this is a good choiceizbor."
74
313000
3000
Dopustite da Vas pitam nekoliko pitanja da vidimo je li ovo dobar izbor.“
05:34
Then you sellprodavati a lot more.
75
316000
1000
Tada ćete prodati mnogo više.
05:35
So this has applicationsaplikacije in all walksšetnje of life.
76
317000
5000
Prema tome, ovo ima primjene u svim aspektima života.
05:40
I endkraj with -- the KoreansKorejci did this.
77
322000
3000
Završit ću sa – Koreanci su učinili ovo.

82
334000
2000
