01:21
What did get me movingbergerak was a socialsosial interactioninteraksi.
26

3228
Apa yang menyebabkan saya bergerak
ialah interaksi sosial.
01:24
SomeoneSeseorang inviteddijemput me to a meetingmesyuarat,
27
72964
1308
Seseorang mengundang saya
ke sebuah mesyuarat,
01:26
but couldn'ttidak boleh managemengurus to fitpatut me in
28
74272

tapi dia tidak dapat
memasukkan saya
01:27
to a regularbiasa sortsemak of conferencepersidangan roombilik meetingmesyuarat, and said,
29
75445
2838
ke dalam bilik mesyuarat;
jadi dia kata,
01:30
"I have to walkjalan my dogsanjing tomorrowesok. Could you come then?"
30
78283
3825
"Saya perlu bawa anjing saya berjalan-jalan.
Bolehkah anda datang?"
01:34
It seemedseolah-olah kindjenis of oddganjil to do,
31
82108
2047
Ia nampak pelik.
01:36
and actuallysebenarnya, that first meetingmesyuarat, I rememberingat thinkingberfikir,
32
84155
2110
Saya masih ingat, pada mesyuarat pertama itu,
saya terfikir,
01:38
"I have to be the one to asktanya the nextseterusnya questionsoalan,"
33
86265
1764
"Saya perlu menanya
soalan seterusnya,"
01:40
because I knewtahu I was going to huffmemengkalkan and puffsedutan
34
88029
3156
kerana saya tahu
saya akan tercungap-cungap
01:43
duringsemasa this conversationperbualan.
35
91185
2184
semasa perbincangan.
01:45
And yetlagi, I've takendiambil that ideaidea and madedibuat it my ownsendiri.
36
93369
3130
Saya telah mengambil idea itu dan
menjadikannya idea saya.
01:48
So insteadsebaliknya of going to coffeekopi meetingsmesyuarat
37
96499
1646
Daripada bermesyuarat
sambil minum kopi
01:50
or fluorescent-litterang kalimantang conferencepersidangan roombilik meetingsmesyuarat,
38
98145
2228
atau bermesyuarat di dalam
bilik mesyuarat,
01:52
I asktanya people to go on a walkingberjalan kaki meetingmesyuarat,
39
100373
3030
saya meminta orang untuk
berjalan sambil bermesyuarat,
01:55
to the tuneTune of 20 to 30 milesbatu a weekminggu.
40
103403
3939
perjalanannya 20 hingga
30 batu seminggu.
01:59
It's changedberubah my life.
41
107342
2429
Ia telah mengubah hidup saya.
02:01
But before that, what actuallysebenarnya happenedberlaku was,
42
109771
3229
Tapi sebelum itu,
apa yang berlaku ialah,
02:05
I used to think about it as,
43
113000
982
saya pernah terfikir bahawa,
02:05
you could take carepenjagaan of your healthkesihatan,
44
113982
1696
anda boleh pentingkan
kesihatan anda,
02:07
or you could take carepenjagaan of obligationskewajipan,
45
115678
2524
atau anda boleh pentingkan
tanggungjawab anda;
02:10
and one always camedatang at the costkos of the other.
46
118202
3805
anda tidak dapat
mencapai keseimbangannya.
02:14
So now, severalbeberapa hundredratus of these walkingberjalan kaki meetingsmesyuarat laterkemudian,
47
122007
3132
Kini, selepas beberapa ratus kali
berjalan sambil bermesyuarat,
02:17
I've learnedbelajar a fewbeberapa things.
48
125139
1373
saya telah belajar
beberapa perkara.
02:18
First, there's this amazingmenakjubkan thing
49
126512
1874
Pertama,
adalah sangat menarik
02:20
about actuallysebenarnya gettingmendapat out of the boxkotak
50
128386
2725
untuk keluar daripada kelaziman
02:23
that leadsmemimpin to out-of-the-boxout-of-the-box thinkingberfikir.
51
131111
1974
dan ia membawa kepada
pemikiran di luar kotak.
02:25
WhetherSama ada it's naturesifat or the exercisesenaman itselfsendiri, it certainlypasti workskerja-kerja.
52
133085
4425
Sama ada alam semula jadi
atau senaman itu, ia berkesan.
02:29
And secondkedua, and probablymungkin the more reflectivemencerminkan one,
53
137510
3020
Kedua, mungkin ini
menyebabkan kita berfikir,
02:32
is just about how much eachsetiap of us
54
140530
2295
bagi setiap orang,
berapa banyak pandangan
02:34
can holdmemegang problemsmasalah in oppositionpembangkang
55
142825
2464
bertentangan yang
kita dapat terima
02:37
when they're really not that way.
56
145289
1975
apabila ia bukannya begitu.
02:39
And if we're going to solveselesaikan problemsmasalah
57
147264
1708
Jika kita mahu
menyelesaikan masalah
02:40
and look at the worlddunia really differentlyberbeza,
58
148972
1598
dan melihat dunia ini
melalui sudut yang berbeza,
02:42
whethersama ada it's in governancetadbir urus or businessperniagaan
59
150570
2129
sama ada pentadbiran,
perniagaan,
02:44
or environmentalalam sekitar issuesisu, jobkerja creationciptaan,
60
152699
2862
isu-isu alam sekitar, atau
mewujudkan peluang pekerjaan,
02:47
maybe we can think about how to reframereframe those problemsmasalah
61
155561
2663
mungkin kita boleh memikirkan
bagaimana melihat semula masalah itu
02:50
as havingmempunyai bothkedua-duanya things be truebenar.
62
158224
2202
dan mengambil kira
kedua-dua perkara.
02:52
Because it was when that happenedberlaku
63
160426
1923
Ini kerana semasa
berjalan sambil bermesyuarat,
02:54
with this walk-and-talkberjalan dan bercakap ideaidea
64
162349
1455
Ini kerana semasa
berjalan sambil bermesyuarat,
02:55
that things becamemenjadi doableboleh dilakukan and sustainablemampan and viableberdaya maju.
65
163804
3959
semua perkara menjadi boleh dilaksanakan,
boleh diterima dan berdaya maju.
02:59
So I startedbermula this talk talkingbercakap about the tushtush,
66
167763
1980
Saya mulakan ceramah ini
dengan bercakap tentang punggung,
03:01
so I'll endakhir with the bottombawah linetalian, whichyang mana is,
67
169743
4010
saya akan menamatkannya dengan:
03:05
walkjalan and talk.
68
173753
1631
Berjalan sambil berbincang.
03:07
WalkBerjalan kaki the talk.
