So, imagine you're standing on a street anywhere in America
0

4000
Tai, īsadūmojat, ka stuovat nazkur Amerikā iz ūļneicys,
00:19
and a Japanese man comes up to you and says,
1
4000
3000
i pi jums daīt japaņs i prosa:
00:22
"Excuse me, what is the name of this block?"
2
7000
2000
„Atlaidit, kai sauc itū kvartalu?”
00:24
And you say, "I'm sorry, well, this is Oak Street, that's Elm Street.
3
9000
4000
Jius atsokat: „Atlaidit. Nu, itei ir Oukstrita, tei ir Elmstrita.
00:28
This is 26th, that's 27th."
4
13000
2000
Tei ir 26. sāta, tei — 27.”
00:30
He says, "OK, but what is the name of that block?"
5
15000
2000
„Lobi,” jis atsoka, „nu kai sauc itū kvartalu?”
00:32
You say, "Well, blocks don't have names.
6
17000
3000
Jius sokat: „Nu, kvartalim nav vuordu.
00:35
Streets have names; blocks are just the
7
20000
2000
Vuordi ir ūļneicom; kvartali ir tik
00:37
unnamed spaces in between streets."
8
22000
2000
vītys bez vuordim ūļneicu vydā.”
00:39
He leaves, a little confused and disappointed.
9
24000
4000
Jis nūīt drupeit apjucs i veilīs.
00:43
So, now imagine you're standing on a street, anywhere in Japan,
10
28000
3000
Niu īsadūmojat, ka stuovat iz ūļneicys nazkur Japanā,
00:46
you turn to a person next to you and say,
11
31000
2000
jius pasagrīžat pret sūpluok cylvāku i vaicojat:
00:48
"Excuse me, what is the name of this street?"
12
33000
2000
„Atlaidit, kai sauc itū ūļneicu?”
00:50
They say, "Oh, well that's Block 17 and this is Block 16."
13
35000
4000
Jis atsoka: „Nu, itys ir 17. kvartals, itys — 16. kvartals.”
00:54
And you say, "OK, but what is the name of this street?"
14
39000
3000
I jius atsokat: „Lobi, i kai sauc itū ūļneicu?”
00:57
And they say, "Well, streets don't have names.
15
42000
2000
I jis atsoka: „Nu, ūļneicom nav vuordu.
00:59
Blocks have names.
16
44000
2000
Vuordi ir kvartalim.
01:01
Just look at Google Maps here. There's Block 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
17
46000
4000
Pasaverit Google Maps. Vei, 14.,15., 16., 17., 18., 19. kvartals.
01:05
All of these blocks have names,
18
50000
2000
Vysim kvartalim ir vuordi.
01:07
and the streets are just the unnamed spaces in between the blocks.
19
52000
4000
Ūļneicys ir tik vītys bez vuordu kvartalu vydā.
01:11
And you say then, "OK, then how do you know your home address?"
20
56000
3000
I tod jius vaicojat: „Lobi, a kai tod jius zinit sovu sātys adresu?”
01:14
He said, "Well, easy, this is District Eight.
21
59000
3000
„Vīnkuorši,” jis atsoka, „itys ir ostoitais kvartals.
01:17
There's Block 17, house number one."
22
62000
3000
Es dzeivoju 17. kvartalā, sātā numer vīns.”
01:20
You say, "OK, but walking around the neighborhood,
23
65000
2000
„Lobi,” jius sokat, „nu, īmūt pa apleicīni,
01:22
I noticed that the house numbers don't go in order."
24
67000
2000
es īvāruoju, ka sātu numeri nav seceigi.”
01:24
He says, "Of course they do. They go in the order in which they were built.
25
69000
3000
Jis atsoka: „Skaidrys, ka ir. Tuos ir numerātys piec tū pastateišonys seceibys.
01:27
The first house ever built on a block is house number one.
26
72000
3000
Pyrmuo kvartalā pastateituo sāta ir sāta numer vīns.
01:30
The second house ever built is house number two.
27
75000
3000
Ūtrei pastateituo sāta ir sāta numer div.
01:33
Third is house number three. It's easy. It's obvious."
28
78000
2000
Treša ir sāta numer treis. Vīgli! Logiski!”
01:35
So, I love that sometimes we need to
29
80000
3000
Deļtuo maņ pateik, kai myusim ir
01:38
go to the opposite side of the world
30
83000
2000
reizem juobrauc iz ūtru pasauļa molu,
01:40
to realize assumptions we didn't even know we had,
31
85000
2000
kab saprostu pījāmumus, kurūs mes seņuok nazynuojom
01:42
and realize that the opposite of them may also be true.
32
87000
3000
i saprostu, ka ari pretejais var byut pareizs.
01:45
So, for example, there are doctors in China
33
90000
2000
Tai, pīvadumam, Kīnā uorsti tur,
01:47
who believe that it's their job to keep you healthy.
34
92000
3000
ka jū dorbs ir ryupētīs, kab tu byutu vasals.
01:50
So, any month you are healthy you pay them,
35
95000
2000
Deļtuo sevkuru mienesi, kurū asat vasals, jius jim moksuojot,
01:52
and when you're sick you don't have to pay them because they failed
36
97000
2000
i, kod asat navasals, jums navajag jim moksuot, deļtuo ka jī nav kuorteigi darejuši
01:54
at their job. They get rich when you're healthy, not sick.
37
99000
2000
sovu dorbu. Jī teik bogotuoki, kod jius asat vasali, a na navasali.
01:56
(Applause)
38
101000
3000
(Plaukšīni)
01:59
In most music, we think of the "one"
39
104000
2000
Leluokajā daļā muzykys mes skaitam „vīns”
02:01
as the downbeat, the beginning of the musical phrase: one, two, three, four.
40
106000
4000
kai pyrmū sitīni, muzykaluos frazys suokys. Vīns, div, treis, četri.
02:05
But in West African music, the "one"
41
110000
2000
Tok Vokoru Afrikys muzykā „vīns”
02:07
is thought of as the end of the phrase,
42
112000
2000
teik skaiteits par frazys beigom,
02:09
like the period at the end of a sentence.
43
114000
2000
taipat kai atstarpe pyrma teikuma gola.
02:11
So, you can hear it not just in the phrasing, but the way they count off their music:
44
116000
2000
Tū var dzierdēt na tik frazejumā, bet taipat i tymā, kai jī skaita ritmu.
02:13
two, three, four, one.
45
118000
3000
Div, treis, četri, vīns.
02:16
And this map is also accurate.
46
121000
3000
Taipat i itei karta ir preciza.
02:19
(Laughter)
47
124000
2000
(Smīklys)
02:21
There's a saying that whatever true thing you can say about India,
48
126000
3000
Ir sokamvuords, ka, vysleidz kaidu patīsu lītu jius pasaceitu par Indeju,
02:24
the opposite is also true.
49
129000
2000
taipat i pretejais byus taisneiba.
02:26
So, let's never forget, whether at TED, or anywhere else,
50
131000
2000
Deļtuo naaizmierssim, vysleidza, voi TED voi vysur cytur,
02:28
that whatever brilliant ideas you have or hear,
51
133000
3000
kur var dzierdēt kaidys genialys idejis ir jums voi cytim,
02:31
that the opposite may also be true.
52
136000
2000
taipat i preteijais var byut taisneiba.
02:33
Domo arigato gozaimashita.
53
138000
2000
Lels jums paļdis!
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Derek Sivers - EntrepreneurThrough his new project, MuckWork, Derek Sivers wants to lessen the burdens (and boredom) of creative people.
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."
