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

4000
Tā, iedomājieties, ka stāvat kaut kur Amerikā uz ielas,
00:19
and a Japanese man comes up to you and says,
1
4000
3000
un pie jums pienāk japānis un jautā:
00:22
"Excuse me, what is the name of this block?"
2
7000
2000
„Atvainojiet, kā sauc šo kvartālu?”
00:24
And you say, "I'm sorry, well, this is Oak Street, that's Elm Street.
3
9000
4000
Jūs atbildat, „Atvainojiet.
Nu, šī ir Oukstrīta, tā ir Elmstrīta.
Nu, šī ir Oukstrīta, tā ir Elmstrīta.
00:28
This is 26th, that's 27th."
4
13000
2000
Tā ir 26. māja, tā — 27.”
00:30
He says, "OK, but what is the name of that block?"
5
15000
2000
„Labi,” viņš atbild, „bet kā sauc to kvartālu?”
00:32
You say, "Well, blocks don't have names.
6
17000
3000
Jūs atbildat: „Nu, kvartāliem nav nosaukumu.
00:35
Streets have names; blocks are just the
7
20000
2000
nosaukumi ir ielām; kvartāli ir tikai
00:37
unnamed spaces in between streets."
8
22000
2000
vietas bez nosaukumiem starp ielām.”
00:39
He leaves, a little confused and disappointed.
9
24000
4000
Viņš aiziet, nedaudz apjucis un vīlies.
00:43
So, now imagine you're standing on a street, anywhere in Japan,
10
28000
3000
Tagad iedomājies, ka stāvat uz ielas kaut kur Japānā,
00:46
you turn to a person next to you and say,
11
31000
2000
jūs pagriežaties pret blakus cilvēku un jautājat:
00:48
"Excuse me, what is the name of this street?"
12
33000
2000
„Atvainojiet, kā sauc šo ielu?”
00:50
They say, "Oh, well that's Block 17 and this is Block 16."
13
35000
4000
Viņi atbild: „Nu, tas ir 17. kvartāls, šis — 16. kvartāls.”
00:54
And you say, "OK, but what is the name of this street?"
14
39000
3000
Un jūs atbildat: „Labi, un kā sauc šo ielu?”
00:57
And they say, "Well, streets don't have names.
15
42000
2000
Un viņi atbild, „Nu, ielām nav nosaukumu.
00:59
Blocks have names.
16
44000
2000
Nosaukumi ir kvartāliem.
01:01
Just look at Google Maps here. There's Block 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
17
46000
4000
Paskatieties Google Maps.
Lūk, 14.,15., 16., 17., 18., 19. kvartāls.
Lūk, 14.,15., 16., 17., 18., 19. kvartāls.
01:05
All of these blocks have names,
18
50000
2000
Visiem kvartāliem ir nosaukumi.
01:07
and the streets are just the unnamed spaces in between the blocks.
19
52000
4000
Ielas ir tikai vietas bez nosaukumiem starp kvartāliem.
01:11
And you say then, "OK, then how do you know your home address?"
20
56000
3000
Un tad jūs jautājat: „Labi,
bet kā tad jūs zināt savu mājas adresi?”
bet kā tad jūs zināt savu mājas adresi?”
01:14
He said, "Well, easy, this is District Eight.
21
59000
3000
„Vienkārši,” viņš atbild, „šis ir astotais kvartāls.
01:17
There's Block 17, house number one."
22
62000
3000
Es dzīvoju 17. kvartālā, mājā numur viens.”
01:20
You say, "OK, but walking around the neighborhood,
23
65000
2000
Jūs sakāt, „Labi. Bet, staigājot pa apkaimi,
01:22
I noticed that the house numbers don't go in order."
24
67000
2000
es ievēroju, ka māju numuri nav secīgi.”
01:24
He says, "Of course they do. They go in the order in which they were built.
25
69000
3000
Viņš atbild, „Protams, ka ir.
Tās ir numurētas pēc to uzcelšanas secības.
Tās ir numurētas pēc to uzcelšanas secības.
01:27
The first house ever built on a block is house number one.
26
72000
3000
Pirmā kvartālā uzceltā māja ir māja numur viens.
01:30
The second house ever built is house number two.
27
75000
3000
Otrā uzceltā māja ir māja numur divi.
01:33
Third is house number three. It's easy. It's obvious."
28
78000
2000
Trešā ir māja numur trīs. Viegli. Loģiski.”
01:35
So, I love that sometimes we need to
29
80000
3000
Tāpēc man patīk, ka dažreiz mums ir
01:38
go to the opposite side of the world
30
83000
2000
jādodas uz otru pasaules malu,
01:40
to realize assumptions we didn't even know we had,
31
85000
2000
lai atskārstu pieņēmumus,
par kuriem mēs agrāk nezinājām
par kuriem mēs agrāk nezinājām
01:42
and realize that the opposite of them may also be true.
32
87000
3000
un saprastu, ka arī pretstats var būt pareizs.
01:45
So, for example, there are doctors in China
33
90000
2000
Tā, piemēram, Ķīnā ārsti uzskata,
01:47
who believe that it's their job to keep you healthy.
34
92000
3000
ka viņu darbs ir rūpēties, lai tu būtu vesels.
01:50
So, any month you are healthy you pay them,
35
95000
2000
Tāpēc katru mēnesi, kuru esat vesels, jūs viņiem maksājat,
01:52
and when you're sick you don't have to pay them because they failed
36
97000
2000
un, kad esat slims, jums viņiem nav jāmaksā,
jo viņi nav kārtīgi darījuši
jo viņi nav kārtīgi darījuši
01:54
at their job. They get rich when you're healthy, not sick.
37
99000
2000
savu darbu. Viņi kļūst bagāti,
jums esot veselam, nevis slimam.
jums esot veselam, nevis slimam.
01:56
(Applause)
38
101000
3000
(Aplausi)
01:59
In most music, we think of the "one"
39
104000
2000
Lielākajā daļā mūzikas, mēs uzskatam „viens”
02:01
as the downbeat, the beginning of the musical phrase: one, two, three, four.
40
106000
4000
kā pirmo sitienu, muzikālās frāzes sākumu.
Viens, divi, trīs, četri.
Viens, divi, trīs, četri.
02:05
But in West African music, the "one"
41
110000
2000
Bet Rietumāfrikas mūzikā „viens”
02:07
is thought of as the end of the phrase,
42
112000
2000
uzskata par frāzes beigām,
02:09
like the period at the end of a sentence.
43
114000
2000
kā atstarpi pirms teikuma beigām.
02:11
So, you can hear it not just in the phrasing, but the way they count off their music:
44
116000
2000
To var dzirdēt ne tikai frāzējumā,
bet arī tajā kā viņi skaita ritmu.
bet arī tajā kā viņi skaita ritmu.
02:13
two, three, four, one.
45
118000
3000
Divi, trīs, četri, viens.
02:16
And this map is also accurate.
46
121000
3000
Arī šī karte ir precīza.
02:19
(Laughter)
47
124000
2000
(Smiekli)
02:21
There's a saying that whatever true thing you can say about India,
48
126000
3000
Ir sakāmvārds, ka vienalga kādu patiesu lietu
jūs pateiktu par Indiju,
jūs pateiktu par Indiju,
02:24
the opposite is also true.
49
129000
2000
arī pretstats ir patiesība.
02:26
So, let's never forget, whether at TED, or anywhere else,
50
131000
2000
Tāpēc, neaizmirsīsim, vienalga — TED vai visur citur,
02:28
that whatever brilliant ideas you have or hear,
51
133000
3000
kur var dzirdēt ģeniālas idejas,
02:31
that the opposite may also be true.
52
136000
2000
arī pretējais var būt patiesība.
02:33
Domo arigato gozaimashita.
53
138000
2000
Domo arigato gozaimašita!
ABOUT THE SPEAKER

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."
