I'm used to thinking of the TED audience as a wonderful collection

3000
Jeg er vant til å tenke på TED publikum som en herlig samling
00:18
of some of the most effective, intelligent,
1
3000
2000
av noen av de mest effektive, intelligente,
00:20
intellectual, savvy,
2
5000
3000
intellektuelle, lure,
00:23
worldly and innovative people in the world.
3
8000
2000
verdensvante og innovative folkene i verden.
00:25
And I think that's true.
4
10000
2000
Og jeg tror det er sant.
00:27
However, I also have reason to believe
5
12000
2000
Likevel, så har jeg grunn til å tro
00:29
that many, if not most, of you
6
14000
2000
at mange, om ikke mesteparten, av dere
00:31
are actually tying your shoes incorrectly.
7
16000
2000
faktisk knyter skoene deres feil.
00:33
(Laughter)
8
18000
2000
(Latter)
00:35
Now I know that seems ludicrous.
9
20000
2000
Jeg vet det kan høres tullete ut.
00:37
I know that seems ludicrous.
10
22000
2000
Jeg vet det virker tullete.
00:39
And believe me, I lived the same sad life
11
24000
2000
Og tro meg, jeg levde det samme triste livet
00:41
until about three years ago.
12
26000
2000
inntil omtrent tre år siden.
00:43
And what happened to me
13
28000
2000
Det som skjedde meg
00:45
was I bought, what was for me, a very expensive pair of shoes.
14
30000
3000
var at jeg kjøpte det som for meg var et par meget dyre sko.
00:48
But those shoes came with round nylon laces,
15
33000
3000
Men de kom med noen runde nylon skolisser,
00:51
and I couldn't keep them tied.
16
36000
2000
og jeg klarte ikke å holde dem knytt.
00:53
So I went back to the store and said to the owner,
17
38000
2000
Så jeg dro tilbake til butikken og sa til eieren,
00:55
"I love the shoes, but I hate the laces."
18
40000
2000
"Jeg elsker skoene, men jeg hater lissene."
00:57
He took a look and said, "Oh, you're tying them wrong."
19
42000
3000
Han tok en titt og sa, "Åh, du knyter dem feil."
01:00
Now up until that moment,
20
45000
2000
Inntil det øyeblikket
01:02
I would have thought that, by age 50,
21
47000
3000
trodde jeg, i en alder av 50 år,
01:05
one of the life skills that I had really nailed
22
50000
3000
at en av de livskunnskapene jeg virkelig behersket
01:08
was tying my shoes.
23
53000
2000
var å knyte skoene mine.
01:10
But not so -- let me demonstrate.
24
55000
3000
Men det viste seg å være feil -- la meg demonstrere.
01:14
This is the way
25
59000
2000
Dette er måten
01:16
that most of us were taught to tie our shoes.
26
61000
3000
de fleste av oss har blitt lært å knyte skoene.
01:22
Now as it turns out -- thank you.
27
67000
3000
Nå viser det seg -- takk.
01:25
Wait, there's more.
28
70000
2000
Vent, det er mer.
01:27
As it turns out,
29
72000
3000
Det viser seg,
01:30
there's a strong form and a weak form of this knot,
30
75000
2000
at det er en sterk og en svak versjon av denne knuten,
01:32
and we were taught to tie the weak form.
31
77000
2000
og vi har lært den svake versjonen.
01:34
And here's how to tell.
32
79000
2000
Dette er måten å teste på.
01:36
If you pull the strands at the base of the knot,
33
81000
2000
Om du drar i endene under knuten,
01:38
you will see that the bow will orient itself
34
83000
3000
vil du se at knuten orienterer seg selv
01:41
down the long axis of the shoe.
35
86000
2000
langs aksen til skoen.
01:43
That's the weak form of the knot.
36
88000
2000
Det er den svake versjonen av knuten.
01:45
But not to worry.
37
90000
2000
Men fortvil ikke.
01:47
If we start over
38
92000
2000
Om vi starter på nytt
01:49
and simply go the other direction
39
94000
2000
og simpelthen går den andre veien
01:51
around the bow,
40
96000
2000
rundt løkken,
01:53
we get this, the strong form of the knot.
41
98000
3000
så får vi dette, den sterke versjonen av knuten.
01:56
And if you pull the cords under the knot,
42
101000
3000
Og om du drar i endene under knuten,
01:59
you will see that the bow orients itself
43
104000
2000
vil du se at knuten orienterer seg
02:01
along the transverse axis of the shoe.
44
106000
3000
på tvers av skoen.
02:04
This is a stronger knot. It will come untied less often.
45
109000
3000
Dette er en sterkere knute. Den løsner sjeldnere.
02:07
It will let you down less,
46
112000
2000
Den vil skuffe deg mindre.
02:09
and not only that, it looks better.
47
114000
3000
Og ikke bare det, men den ser bedre ut også.
02:12
We're going to do this one more time.
48
117000
2000
Vi skal gjøre dette en gang til.
02:14
(Applause)
49
119000
3000
(Applaus)
02:17
Start as usual,
50
122000
4000
Start som vanlig,
02:21
go the other way around the loop.
51
126000
2000
gå den andre veien rundt løkken.
02:23
This is a little hard for children,
52
128000
2000
Dette er litt vanskelig for barn,
02:25
but I think you can handle it.
53
130000
2000
men jeg tror dere klarer det.
02:29
Pull the knot.
54
134000
2000
Dra i knuten.
02:31
There it is: the strong form of the shoe knot.
55
136000
3000
Der er den: den sterke versjonen av skoknuten.
02:34
Now, in keeping with today's theme,
56
139000
4000
Så, i tråd med dagens tema,
02:38
I'd like to point out -- and something you already know --
57
143000
2000
vil jeg poengtere -- noe dere allerede vet --
02:40
that sometimes a small advantage
58
145000
2000
at noen ganger kan et lite fortrinn
02:42
someplace in life
59
147000
2000
et sted i livet
02:44
can yield tremendous results someplace else.
60
149000
3000
gi fantastiske resultater et annet sted.
02:48
Live long and prosper.
61
153000
2000
Lev lenge og vel.
02:50
(Applause)
62
155000
