When I was 14 years old,

Kad es biju 14 gadus vecs,
00:24
I had low self-esteem.
1
12015
2633
man bija zems pašvērtējums.
00:26
I felt I was not talented at anything.
2
14648
4452
Es jutos tā, it kā man nekas nepadotos.
00:31
One day, I bought a yo-yo.
3
19100
3771
Kādu dienu es nopirko jo-jo.
00:34
When I tried my first trick, it looked like this.
4
22871
3997
Kad es izmēģināju savu pirmo triku, tas izskatījās šādi.
00:45
I couldn't even do the simplest trick,
5
33390
2965
Es pat nespēju izpildīt vienkāršāko triku,
00:48
but it was very natural for me,
6
36355
2387
bet tas man bija ļoti dabiski,
00:50
because I was not dextrous, and hated all sports.
7
38742
4545
jo es nebiju veikls, un man riebās visi sporta veidi.
00:55
But after one week of practicing,
8
43287
3035
Taču pēc nedēļas ilgas vingrināšanās
00:58
my throws became more like this.
9
46322
3236
mani sviedieni kļuva apmēram šādi.
01:06
A bit better.
10
54119
2780
Nedaudz labāki.
01:08
I thought, the yo-yo is something for me to be good at,
11
56899
3716
Man šķita, ka jo-jo būs kaut kas, kas man pirmo reizi
01:12
for the first time in my life.
12
60615
2674
mūžā padotos
01:15
I found my passion.
13
63289
3154
Es atradu savu kaislību.
01:18
I was spending all my time practicing.
14
66443
3406
Es visu laiku pavadīju vingrinoties.
01:21
It took me hours and hours a day
15
69849
2181
Savas prasmes uzlabošana līdz nākamajam līmenim
01:24
to build my skills up to the next level.
16
72030
2803
man dienā prasīja daudzas jo daudzas stundas.
01:26
And then, four years later, when I was 18 years old,
17
74833
4783
Tad, četrus gadus vēlāk, kad es biju 18 gadus vecs,
01:31
I was standing onstage at the World Yo-Yo Contest.
18
79616
3733
es stāvēju uz Pasaules jo-jo sacensību skatuves.
01:35
And I won.
19
83349
1283
Un es uzvarēju
01:36
I was so excited. "Yes, I did it! I became a hero.
20
84632
3623
Es bij tik laimīgs. „Jā, es to paveicu! Es kļuvu par varoni.
01:40
I may get many sponsors, a lot of money,
21
88255
2789
Es dabūšu daudz sponsoru, daudz naudas,
01:43
tons of interviews, and be on TV!" I thought. (Laughter)
22
91044
4556
kaudzi interviju un būšu televīzijā!” es nodomāju. (Smiekli)
01:47
But after coming back to Japan,
23
95600
3026
Taču atgriežoties Japānā
01:50
totally nothing changed in my life.
24
98626
4310
manā dzīvē nemainījās pilnīgi nekas.
01:54
I realized society didn't value my passion.
25
102936
5051
Es atskārtu, ka sabiedrība nenovērtēja manu kaislību.
01:59
So I went back to my college
26
107987
2643
Tā nu es devos atpakaļ uz koledžu
02:02
and became a typical Japanese worker
27
110630
2048
un kļuvu par tipisku japāņu strādnieku,
02:04
as a systems engineer.
28
112678
2456
strādājot kā sistēmu inženieris.
02:07
I felt my passion, heart and soul, had left my body.
29
115134
6218
Es jutu, ka mana kaislība, mana sirds un dvēsele bija pametusi manu ķermeni.
02:13
I felt I was not alive anymore.
30
121352
2854
Es vairs nejutos dzīvs.
02:16
So I started to consider what I should do,
31
124206
3963
Tā nu es sāku domāt par to, ko man vajadzētu darīt
02:20
and I thought, I wanted to make my performance better,
32
128169
4249
un sapratu, ka es vēlējos uzlabot savu sniegumu
02:24
and to show onstage how spectacular the yo-yo could be
33
132418
4637
un uz skatuves parādīt to, cik iespaidīgs var būt jo-jo,
02:29
to change the public's image of the yo-yo.
34
137055
4106
lai mainītu publikas priekšstatu par jo-jo.
02:33
So I quit my company
35
141161
2713
Tā nu es aizgāju no uzņēmuma
02:35
and started a career as a professional performer.
36
143874
3902
un sāku profesionāla mākslinieka karjeru.
02:39
I started to learn classic ballet, jazz dance,
37
147776
3278
Es sāku apgūt klasisko baletu, džeza deju,
02:43
acrobatics and other things
38
151054
1974
akrobātiku un vēl citas lietas,
02:45
to make my performance better.
39
153028
2492
lai uzlabotu savus priekšnesumus.
02:47
As a result of these efforts, and the help of many others,
40
155520
3176
Šo centienu un daudzu palīdzības dēļ
02:50
it happened.
41
158696
2260
tas notika.
02:52
I won the World Yo-Yo Contest again
42
160956
2147
Es atkal uzvarēju Pasaules jo-jo sacensībās,
02:55
in the artistic performance division.
43
163103
2194
šoreiz mākslinieciskā priekšnesuma kategorijā.
02:57
I passed an audition for Cirque du Soleil.
44
165297
3296
Es sekmīgi piedalījos „Cirque du Soleil” atlasē.
03:00
Today, I am standing on the TED stage
45
168593
3544
Šodien es stāvu uz TED skatuves
03:04
with the yo-yo in front of you.
46
172137
3568
ar jo-jo jūsu priekšā.
03:07
(Applause)
47
175705
3838
(Aplausi)
03:11
What I learned from the yo-yo is,
48
179543
2859
No jo-jo es iemācījos to,
03:14
if I make enough effort with huge passion,
49
182402
5037
ka, ja es ar milzīgu kaislību ieguldu gana daudz darba,
03:19
there is no impossible.
50
187439
2299
nekas nav neiespējams.
03:21
Could you let me share my passion with you
51
189738
3104
Vai jūs man ļautu ar savu priekšnesumu
03:24
through my performance?
52

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
BLACK - Yo-yo championTwice the world yo-yo champion, BLACK mixes dance, sport and performance to create unforgettable yo-yo moments.
Why you should listen
At 14, BLACK picked up his first yo-yo. Initially he couldn't do even the easiest trick -- but after one week of practicing, he realized: I could be good at this. Very good. Four years later (and 10,000 hours of practicing), he took the title of 2001 world champion. And then ... he gave it up. Went to school, got a job. But he missed the passion of performing. He realized: "I want to do this: Entertain, and bring excitement and joy to people with the yo-yo."
Returning to competition after six years, he won the 2007 World Yo-Yo Contest in the artistic performance category. After that, he started dance and acrobatic training to create a new form of performing and art. Imagine a yo-yo performance graceful and thrilling enough to pass the audition for Cirque du Soleil ... while being fast and precise enough to pull a tablecloth out from under a stack of champagne glasses!
