Príbeh môjho blogu
00:17
It begins about 40 years ago,
1
2000
2000
začal asi pred 40 rokmi,
00:19
when my mom and my dad came to Canada.
2
4000
3000
keď sa moja mama a otec presťahovali do Kanady.
00:22
My mom left Nairobi, Kenya.
3
7000
2000
Moja mama opustila Nairobi v Keni.
00:24
My dad left a small village outside of Amritsar, India.
4
9000
3000
Moj otec opustil malú dedinku pri Amritsari v Indii.
00:27
And they got here in the late 1960s.
5
12000
3000
Prišli sem koncom šesťdesiatych rokov.
00:30
They settled in a shady suburb about an hour east of Toronto,
6
15000
3000
Usadili sa v tienistom predmestí asi hodinu od Toronta.
00:33
and they settled into a new life.
7
18000
2000
A začali tam nový život.
00:35
They saw their first dentist,
8
20000
2000
Prvýkrát navštívili zubára,
00:37
they ate their first hamburger,
9
22000
2000
prvýkrát jedli hamburger,
00:39
and they had their first kids.
10
24000
2000
a prvýkrát mali deti.
00:41
My sister and I
11
26000
2000
Moja sestra a ja
00:43
grew up here,
12
28000
2000
sme tu vyrástli
00:45
and we had quiet, happy childhoods.
13
30000
3000
a prežili sme tiché, šťastné detstvo.
00:48
We had close family,
14
33000
2000
V rodine sme si boli blízki,
00:50
good friends, a quiet street.
15
35000
2000
mali sme dobrých priateľov a pokojnú ulicu.
00:52
We grew up taking for granted
16
37000
2000
Vyrastali sme a považovali sme za samozrejmosť
00:54
a lot of the things that my parents couldn't take for granted
17
39000
2000
mnoho vecí, ktoré naši rodičia nemohli považovať za samozrejmé,
00:56
when they grew up --
18
41000
2000
keď vyrastali --
00:58
things like power always on
19
43000
2000
veci, ako stále zapnutú elektrinu
01:00
in our houses,
20
45000
2000
v dome,
01:02
things like schools across the street
21
47000
2000
veci ako školy naproti cez ulicu
01:04
and hospitals down the road
22
49000
2000
a nemocnice neďaleko
01:06
and popsicles in the backyard.
23
51000
2000
a nanuky na zadnom dvore.
01:08
We grew up, and we grew older.
24
53000
2000
Vyrástli sme.
01:10
I went to high school.
25
55000
2000
Šiel som na strednú.
01:12
I graduated.
26
57000
2000
Zmaturoval som.
01:14
I moved out of the house, I got a job,
27
59000
2000
Vysťahoval som sa z rodičovského domu, našiel si prácu,
01:16
I found a girl, I settled down --
28
61000
3000
našiel som si priateľku, usadil som sa --
01:19
and I realize it sounds like a bad sitcom or a Cat Stevens' song --
29
64000
3000
a uvedomujem si, že to znie ako zlý sitcom alebo pieseň Cata Stevensa.
01:22
(Laughter)
30
67000
2000
(Smiech)
01:24
but life was pretty good.
31
69000
2000
Ale život bol naozaj celkom dobrý.
01:26
Life was pretty good.
32
71000
2000
Život bol celkom dobrý.
01:28
2006 was a great year.
33
73000
3000
2006 bol skvelý rok.
01:31
Under clear blue skies in July in the wine region of Ontario,
34
76000
3000
Pod jasným modrým nebom vo vínnej oblasti Ontária som sa v júli
01:34
I got married,
35
79000
2000
oženil,
01:36
surrounded by 150 family and friends.
36
81000
3000
obklopený 150 príbuznými a priateľmi.
01:40
2007 was a great year.
37
85000
3000
2007 bol skvelý rok.
01:43
I graduated from school,
38
88000
2000
Promoval som na vysokej škole
01:45
and I went on a road trip with two of my closest friends.
39
90000
3000
a vybral som sa na výlet s dvoma mojimi najbližšími kamarátmi.
01:48
Here's a picture of me and my friend, Chris,
40
93000
3000
Tu je fotka mňa a môjho kamaráta Chrisa
01:51
on the coast of the Pacific Ocean.
41
96000
2000
na pobreží Tichého oceána.
01:53
We actually saw seals out of our car window,
42
98000
2000
Videli sme z okna auta tulene
01:55
and we pulled over to take a quick picture of them
43
100000
2000
a tak sme zastavili, aby sme ich odfotili,
01:57
and then blocked them with our giant heads.
44
102000
3000
a potom sme ich zatienili našimi obrovskými hlavami.
02:00
(Laughter)
45
105000
2000
(Smiech)
02:02
So you can't actually see them,
46
107000
2000
Takže ich vlastne nemôžete vidieť,
02:04
but it was breathtaking,
47
109000
2000
ale verte mi,
02:06
believe me.
48
111000
2000
vyrážalo to dych.
02:08
(Laughter)
49
113000
2000
(Smiech)
02:10
2008 and 2009 were a little tougher.
50
115000
3000
2008 a 2009 boli trochu ťažšie.
02:13
I know that they were tougher for a lot of people,
51
118000
2000
Viem, že boli ťažšie pre veľa ľudí,
02:15
not just me.
52
120000
2000
nielen pre mňa.
02:17
First of all, the news was so heavy.
53
122000
2000
Po prvé, správy boli tak vážne.
02:19
It's still heavy now, and it was heavy before that,
54
124000
3000
Stále sú nepríjemné a boli aj predtým,
02:22
but when you flipped open a newspaper, when you turned on the TV,
55
127000
3000
ale keď ste otvorili noviny alebo zapli televíziu,
02:25
it was about ice caps melting,
56
130000
2000
vyrútilo sa na vás topenie ľadovcov,
02:27
wars going on around the world,
57
132000
2000
vojny po celom svete,
02:29
earthquakes, hurricanes
58
134000
3000
zemetrasenia, hurikány,
02:32
and an economy that was wobbling on the brink of collapse,
59
137000
3000
ekonomika sa zmietala na pokraji kolapsu
02:35
and then eventually did collapse,
60
140000
3000
a nakoniec ten kolaps prišiel,
02:38
and so many of us losing our homes,
61
143000
2000
a tak veľa z nás stratilo svoje domovy
02:40
or our jobs,
62
145000
2000
alebo svoju prácu,
02:42
or our retirements,
63
147000
2000
alebo svoje dôchodky,
02:44
or our livelihoods.
64
149000
2000
alebo svoje živobytie.
02:46
2008, 2009 were heavy years for me for another reason, too.
65
151000
3000
2008 a 2009 boli pre mňa ťažké ešte z jedného dôvodu.
02:49
I was going through a lot of personal problems at the time.
66
154000
3000
Prechádzal som mnohými osobnými problémami.
02:53
My marriage wasn't going well,
67
158000
3000
Môjmu manželstvu sa nedarilo,
02:56
and we just were growing further and further apart.
68
161000
4000
a čoraz viac sme sa od seba vzďaľovali.
03:00
One day my wife came home from work
69
165000
2000
Jedného dňa prišla moja žena z práce domov
03:02
and summoned the courage, through a lot of tears,
70
167000
3000
a pozbierala všetku svoju odvahu, aby sme sa cez slzy
03:05
to have a very honest conversation.
71
170000
3000
úprimne porozprávali.
03:08
And she said, "I don't love you anymore,"
72
173000
3000
A povedala mi, "Už ťa nemilujem."
03:11
and it was one of the most painful things I'd ever heard
73
176000
4000
Bola to jedna z najbolestivejších vecí, ktoré som kedy počul,
03:15
and certainly the most heartbreaking thing I'd ever heard,
74
180000
3000
a zlomilo mi to srdce,
03:18
until only a month later,
75
183000
2000
a len o mesiac neskôr
03:20
when I heard something even more heartbreaking.
76
185000
3000
ma zasiahla ďalšia, ešte bolestivejšia udalosť.
03:23
My friend Chris, who I just showed you a picture of,
77
188000
2000
Môj priateľ Chris, ktorého som vám pred chvíľou ukázal,
03:25
had been battling mental illness for some time.
78
190000
2000
bojoval s psychickým ochorením už dlhší čas.
03:27
And for those of you
79
192000
2000
A tí z vás, ktorých životov
03:29
whose lives have been touched by mental illness,
80
194000
2000
sa dotkla psychická choroba,
03:31
you know how challenging it can be.
81
196000
3000
viete, aká to je výzva.
03:34
I spoke to him on the phone at 10:30 p.m.
82
199000
2000
Telefonoval som s ním o pol jedenástej
03:36
on a Sunday night.
83
201000
2000
v nedeľu večer.
03:38
We talked about the TV show we watched that evening.
84
203000
3000
Rozprávali sme sa o relácii, ktorú sme v ten večer pozerali.
03:41
And Monday morning, I found out that he disappeared.
85
206000
3000
A v pondelok ráno som zistil, že zmizol.
03:44
Very sadly, he took his own life.
86
209000
3000
Bohužiaľ si vzal život.
03:48
And it was a really heavy time.
87
213000
3000
Bolo to naozaj veľmi ťažké obdobie.
03:51
And as these dark clouds were circling me,
88
216000
2000
A ako sa nado mnou zbiehali tieto čierne mraky,
03:53
and I was finding it really, really difficult
89
218000
3000
bolo pre mňa naozaj, naozaj ťažké,
03:56
to think of anything good,
90
221000
2000
myslieť na čokoľvek dobré.
03:58
I said to myself that I really needed a way
91
223000
3000
Povedal som si, že potrebujem nájsť spôsob,
04:01
to focus on the positive somehow.
92
226000
3000
ako sa sústrediť na niečo pozitívne.
04:04
So I came home from work one night,
93
229000
2000
A tak som raz prišiel domov z práce,
04:06
and I logged onto the computer,
94
231000
2000
zapol som počítač
04:08
and I started up a tiny website
95
233000
2000
a spustil som malú webstránku,
04:10
called 1000awesomethings.com.
96
235000
3000
ktorú som nazval 1000awesomethings.com.
04:14
I was trying to remind myself
97
239000
2000
Snažil som sa pripomenúť si
04:16
of the simple, universal, little pleasures that we all love,
98
241000
2000
tie jednoduché, univerzálne, malé radosti života,
04:18
but we just don't talk about enough --
99
243000
2000
ktoré všetci milujeme, ale nehovoríme o nich --
04:20
things like waiters and waitresses
100
245000
2000
veci ako čašníci a čašníčky,
04:22
who bring you free refills without asking,
101
247000
2000
ktorí vám dolejú kávu bez požiadania,
04:24
being the first table to get called up
102
249000
2000
sedieť za stolom, ktorý ide ako prvý
04:26
to the dinner buffet at a wedding,
103
251000
2000
ku švédskym stolom na svadbe,
04:28
wearing warm underwear from just out of the dryer,
104
253000
2000
mať oblečené ešte teplé spodné prádlo rovno zo sušičky
04:30
or when cashiers open up a new check-out lane at the grocery store
105
255000
2000
alebo keď pokladník otvorí nový pás ku pokladni v obchode
04:32
and you get to be first in line --
106
257000
2000
a vy ste prvý na rade --
04:34
even if you were last at the other line, swoop right in there.
107
259000
3000
aj keď ste boli posledný v inom rade, šup do toho nového.
04:37
(Laughter)
108
262000
3000
(Smiech)
04:40
And slowly over time,
109
265000
2000
A pomaly som sa časom
04:42
I started putting myself in a better mood.
110
267000
3000
dostával do lepšej nálady.
04:45
I mean, 50,000 blogs
111
270000
3000
Viete, každý deň vzniká
04:48
are started a day,
112
273000
3000
50 000 nových blogov.
04:51
and so my blog was just one of those 50,000.
113
276000
3000
A môj blog bol len jedným z tých 50 000.
04:54
And nobody read it except for my mom.
114
279000
3000
A nečítal ho nikto okrem mojej mamy.
04:57
Although I should say that my traffic did skyrocket
115
282000
2000
Hoci by som mal povedať, že moja návštevnosť
04:59
and go up by 100 percent
116
284000
2000
raketovo vzrástla o 100 percent
05:01
when she forwarded it to my dad.
117
286000
2000
keď poslala adresu môjmu ockovi.
05:03
(Laughter)
118
288000
2000
(Smiech)
05:05
And then I got excited
119
290000
2000
A potom som sa tešil,
05:07
when it started getting tens of hits,
120
292000
2000
keď ho čítali desiatky ľudí.
05:09
and then I started getting excited when it started getting dozens
121
294000
3000
A potom som sa tešil, keď ich boli tucty,
05:12
and then hundreds and then thousands
122
297000
3000
a potom stovky, a potom tisíce,
05:15
and then millions.
123
300000
2000
a potom milióny.
05:17
It started getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
124
302000
2000
Začalo to rásť a rásť a rásť.
05:19
And then I got a phone call,
125
304000
2000
A potom mi niekto zavolal
05:21
and the voice at the other end of the line said,
126
306000
2000
a hlas na druhom konci linky povedal,
05:23
"You've just won the Best Blog In the World award."
127
308000
4000
"Práve ste vyhrali cenu za najlepší blog na svete."
05:27
I was like, that sounds totally fake.
128
312000
2000
Pomyslel som si, to je určite výmysel.
05:29
(Laughter)
129
314000
3000
(Smiech)
05:32
(Applause)
130
317000
5000
(Potlesk)
05:37
Which African country do you want me to wire all my money to?
131
322000
3000
Do ktorej africkej krajiny mám poslať všetky svoje peniaze?
05:40
(Laughter)
132
325000
3000
(Smiech)
05:43
But it turns out, I jumped on a plane,
133
328000
2000
Ale potom som naskočil na lietadlo,
05:45
and I ended up walking a red carpet
134
330000
2000
a skončil som na červenom koberci
05:47
between Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Fallon and Martha Stewart.
135
332000
3000
medzi Sarah Silverman a Jimmy Fallonom a Marthou Stewart.
05:50
And I went onstage to accept a Webby award for Best Blog.
136
335000
3000
A šiel som si na pódium vyzdvihnúť ocenenie Webby za najlepší blog.
05:53
And the surprise
137
338000
2000
A prekvapenie
05:55
and just the amazement of that
138
340000
2000
a úžas z toho všetkého
05:57
was only overshadowed by my return to Toronto,
139
342000
3000
prekonalo to, keď ma pri mojom návrate do Toronta
06:00
when, in my inbox,
140
345000
2000
čakalo v schránke
06:02
10 literary agents were waiting for me
141
347000
2000
10 mailov od literárnych agentov, ktorí
06:04
to talk about putting this into a book.
142
349000
3000
sa chceli rozprávať o knihe, ktorá z toho mala vzniknúť.
06:07
Flash-forward to the next year
143
352000
2000
Rýchlo prejdeme na ďalší rok
06:09
and "The Book of Awesome" has now been
144
354000
2000
a "The Book of Awesome" (Kniha Úžasnosti, pozn.prekl. )
06:11
number one on the bestseller list for 20 straight weeks.
145
356000
2000
je číslo jedna na zozname bestsellerov už 20 týždňov.
06:13
(Applause)
146
358000
8000
(Potlesk)
06:21
But look, I said I wanted to do three things with you today.
147
366000
2000
Dnes som tu chcel urobiť tri veci.
06:23
I said I wanted to tell you the Awesome story,
148
368000
2000
Chcel som vám povedať príbeh môjho blogu,
06:25
I wanted to share with you the three As of Awesome,
149
370000
2000
chcem sa s vami podeliť o tri A úžasného života
06:27
and I wanted to leave you with a closing thought.
150
372000
2000
a zakončím to jednou myšlienkou.
06:29
So let's talk about those three As.
151
374000
2000
Takže sa poďme porozprávať o tých troch A.
06:31
Over the last few years,
152
376000
2000
Za posledných pár rokov
06:33
I haven't had that much time to really think.
153
378000
2000
som naozaj nemal veľa času rozmýšľať.
06:35
But lately I have had the opportunity to take a step back
154
380000
3000
Ale v poslednej dobe som mal možnosť ustúpiť o krok späť
06:38
and ask myself: "What is it over the last few years
155
383000
3000
a spýtať sa sám seba: Čo bolo tým, čo mi v posledných rokoch
06:41
that helped me grow my website,
156
386000
2000
pomohlo pri budovaní mojej webstránky
06:43
but also grow myself?"
157
388000
2000
a tiež k môjmu osobnému rastu?
06:45
And I've summarized those things, for me personally,
158
390000
2000
A tak som zhrnul tie veci
06:47
as three As.
159
392000
2000
do troch A.
06:49
They are Attitude, Awareness
160
394000
3000
Sú to attitude (postoj), awareness (uvedomenie si)
06:52
and Authenticity.
161
397000
2000
a authenticity (byť sám sebou).
06:54
I'd love to just talk about each one briefly.
162
399000
3000
Chcel by som vám o každej trochu porozprávať.
06:58
So Attitude:
163
403000
2000
Takže postoj:
07:00
Look, we're all going to get lumps,
164
405000
2000
každý z nás zažije svoje výstupy
07:02
and we're all going to get bumps.
165
407000
2000
aj pády.
07:04
None of us can predict the future, but we do know one thing about it
166
409000
3000
Nikto z nás nevie predpovedať budúcnosť, ale jedna vec je istá,
07:07
and that's that it ain't gonna go according to plan.
167
412000
3000
a to, že nič nepôjde podľa plánu.
07:10
We will all have high highs
168
415000
2000
Všetci budeme mať svoje svetlé chvíľky
07:12
and big days and proud moments
169
417000
2000
a skvelé dni a úžasné chvíle
07:14
of smiles on graduation stages,
170
419000
2000
keď sa budete usmievať na promócií,
07:16
father-daughter dances at weddings
171
421000
2000
keď bude otec tancovať s dcérou na svadbe,
07:18
and healthy babies screeching in the delivery room,
172
423000
3000
a keď bude zdravé bábätko plakať v pôrodnici,
07:21
but between those high highs,
173
426000
2000
ale medzi tými svetlými chvíľami,
07:23
we may also have some lumps and some bumps too.
174
428000
3000
nám život občas bude hádzať polená pod nohy.
07:26
It's sad, and it's not pleasant to talk about,
175
431000
3000
Je to smutné a neradi o tom hovoríme,
07:29
but your husband might leave you,
176
434000
3000
ale váš manžel vás môže opustiť,
07:32
your girlfriend could cheat,
177
437000
2000
vaša priateľka vás môže podvádzať,
07:34
your headaches might be more serious than you thought,
178
439000
3000
vaše bolesti hlavy môžu byť vážnejšie, ako sa vám zdá,
07:37
or your dog could get hit by a car on the street.
179
442000
4000
alebo vášho psa zrazí auto na ulici.
07:41
It's not a happy thought,
180
446000
2000
Nie sú to veselé myšlienky,
07:43
but your kids could get mixed up in gangs
181
448000
3000
ale vaše deti sa môžu zapliesť do gangov
07:46
or bad scenes.
182
451000
2000
alebo zlých partií.
07:48
Your mom could get cancer,
183
453000
2000
Vaša mama môže dostať rakovinu,
07:50
your dad could get mean.
184
455000
2000
váš otec možno bude protivný.
07:52
And there are times in life
185
457000
2000
A v živote sú chvíle,
07:54
when you will be tossed in the well, too,
186
459000
2000
keď spadnete
07:56
with twists in your stomach and with holes in your heart,
187
461000
2000
a v bruchu budete mať hrču a srdce bude zlomené.
07:58
and when that bad news washes over you,
188
463000
2000
A keď vás tie zlé správy zaplavia,
08:00
and when that pain sponges and soaks in,
189
465000
3000
a keď vami prenikne bolesť,
08:03
I just really hope you feel
190
468000
2000
dúfam, že budete vedieť,
08:05
like you've always got two choices.
191
470000
2000
že vždy máte dve možnosti.
08:07
One, you can swirl and twirl
192
472000
2000
Prvá, môžete sa tým nechať unášať
08:09
and gloom and doom forever,
193
474000
2000
a utápať sa v smútku naveky,
08:11
or two, you can grieve
194
476000
2000
alebo druhá, môžete smútiť,
08:13
and then face the future
195
478000
2000
a potom sa postaviť budúcnosti
08:15
with newly sober eyes.
196
480000
2000
s novým pohľadom.
08:17
Having a great attitude is about choosing option number two,
197
482000
3000
Keď máte skvelý postoj a prístup k životu, vyberáte si možnosť číslo dva,
08:20
and choosing, no matter how difficult it is,
198
485000
2000
a vyberáte si ju, hoci je to ťažké,
08:22
no matter what pain hits you,
199
487000
2000
hoci vás tá bolesť hlboko zasiahne,
08:24
choosing to move forward and move on
200
489000
2000
vždy si vyberiete ísť ďalej, dopredu,
08:26
and take baby steps into the future.
201
491000
2000
a vykročiť malými krokmi do budúcnosti.
08:31
The second "A" is Awareness.
202
496000
3000
Druhé A je awareness (uvedomenie si).
08:35
I love hanging out with three year-olds.
203
500000
3000
Rád sa bavím s trojročnými.
08:38
I love the way that they see the world,
204
503000
2000
Milujem spôsob, akým sa pozerajú na svet,
08:40
because they're seeing the world for the first time.
205
505000
2000
pretože sa naň pozerajú po prvý raz.
08:42
I love the way that they can stare at a bug crossing the sidewalk.
206
507000
3000
Milujem to, že sa vedia pozerať na chrobáka, ako prechádza cez cestu.
08:45
I love the way that they'll stare slack-jawed
207
510000
2000
Milujem to, že s otvorenými ústami hľadia
08:47
at their first baseball game
208
512000
2000
na svoj prvý bejzbal
08:49
with wide eyes and a mitt on their hand,
209
514000
2000
s očami naširo otvorenými a s rukavicou na ruke,
08:51
soaking in the crack of the bat and the crunch of the peanuts
210
516000
2000
keď naplno vnímajú každý odpal palicou a
08:53
and the smell of the hotdogs.
211
518000
2000
chrúmanie arašidov a vôňu hotdogov.
08:55
I love the way that they'll spend hours picking dandelions in the backyard
212
520000
3000
Milujem to, že vedia stráviť hodiny zbieraním púpav na zadnom dvore
08:58
and putting them into a nice centerpiece
213
523000
2000
a to, že z nich potom urobia vrchol programu
09:00
for Thanksgiving dinner.
214
525000
2000
večere vďakyvzdania.
09:02
I love the way that they see the world,
215
527000
2000
Milujem spôsob, akým vidia svet,
09:04
because they're seeing the world
216
529000
2000
pretože ho vidia
09:06
for the first time.
217
531000
2000
po prvýkrát.
09:09
Having a sense of awareness
218
534000
2000
Vedieť si uvedomiť, o čom je život,
09:11
is just about embracing your inner three year-old.
219
536000
3000
je práve o nájdení trojročného dieťaťa v sebe.
09:14
Because you all used to be three years old.
220
539000
2000
Pretože každý z nás mal raz tri roky.
09:16
That three-year-old boy is still part of you.
221
541000
2000
Ten trojročný chlapec je stále tvojou súčasťou.
09:18
That three-year-old girl is still part of you.
222
543000
2000
To trojročné dievča je stále tvojou súčasťou.
09:20
They're in there.
223
545000
2000
Sú tam.
09:22
And being aware is just about remembering
224
547000
3000
A zmysel pre uvedomenie si je len o tom, že si spomeniete,
09:25
that you saw everything you've seen
225
550000
2000
že všetko, čo vidíte, ste raz
09:27
for the first time once, too.
226
552000
2000
videli po prvý raz.
09:29
So there was a time when it was your first time ever
227
554000
3000
Raz sa vám po prvýkrát v živote podarilo
09:32
hitting a string of green lights on the way home from work.
228
557000
2000
chytiť zelenú vlnu na ceste z práce.
09:34
There was the first time you walked by the open door of a bakery
229
559000
3000
Raz ste prvýkrát v živote prechádzali okolo otvorených dverí pekárne
09:37
and smelt the bakery air,
230
562000
2000
a vdýchli ste do seba jej vôňu,
09:39
or the first time you pulled a 20-dollar bill out of your old jacket pocket
231
564000
3000
a keď ste prvýkrát vytiahli 20 dolárovú bankovku z vrecka starého kabáta
09:42
and said, "Found money."
232
567000
3000
a vykríkli, "Našiel som peniaze."
09:46
The last "A" is Authenticity.
233
571000
3000
Posledné A je authenticity (byť sám sebou).
09:49
And for this one, I want to tell you a quick story.
234
574000
3000
Pri tomto vám chcem povedať krátky príbeh.
09:53
Let's go all the way back to 1932
235
578000
2000
Vrátime sa naspäť do roku 1932,
09:55
when, on a peanut farm in Georgia,
236
580000
3000
keď sa na farme s arašidami v Georgii
09:58
a little baby boy named Roosevelt Grier was born.
237
583000
3000
narodil malý chlapec Roosevelt Grier.
10:02
Roosevelt Grier, or Rosey Grier, as people used to call him,
238
587000
3000
Roosevelt Grier, alebo Rosey Grier, ako ho ľudia volali,
10:05
grew up and grew into
239
590000
2000
vyrástol na 135 kilogramov vážiaceho
10:07
a 300-pound, six-foot-five linebacker in the NFL.
240
592000
4000
a meter osemdesiat vysokého hráča v NFL (Národná liga amerického futbalu).
10:11
He's number 76 in the picture.
241
596000
3000
Na fotke je to ten s číslom 76.
10:14
Here he is pictured with the "fearsome foursome."
242
599000
3000
Spolu ich volali "hrôzostrašná štvorka".
10:17
These were four guys on the L.A. Rams in the 1960s
243
602000
2000
Proti týmto štyrom z L.A.Rams v šesťdesiatych rokoch
10:19
you did not want to go up against.
244
604000
2000
neradi hrávali.
10:21
They were tough football players doing what they love,
245
606000
3000
Ako tvrdí futbaloví hráči robili to, čo milovali,
10:24
which was crushing skulls
246
609000
2000
čo bolo drvenie lebky
10:26
and separating shoulders on the football field.
247
611000
2000
a vykĺbenie ramena súpera na ihrisku.
10:28
But Rosey Grier also had
248
613000
2000
Ale Rosey Grier mal
10:30
another passion.
249
615000
2000
aj inú vášeň.
10:32
In his deeply authentic self,
250
617000
3000
Vo svojom autentickom vnútri,
10:35
he also loved needlepoint. (Laughter)
251
620000
3000
miloval vyšívanie.
10:39
He loved knitting.
252
624000
2000
Rád plietol.
10:41
He said that it calmed him down, it relaxed him,
253
626000
2000
Hovorieval, že ho to upokojuje, že si pri tom oddýchne,
10:43
it took away his fear of flying and helped him meet chicks.
254
628000
3000
že zabúda na strach z lietania a pomáha mu to pri zoznamovaní so slečnami.
10:46
That's what he said.
255
631000
2000
To povedal.
10:49
I mean, he loved it so much that, after he retired from the NFL,
256
634000
2000
A mal to tak rád, že po tom, čo odišiel do dôchodku z NFL,
10:51
he started joining clubs.
257
636000
2000
vstupoval do klubov.
10:53
And he even put out a book
258
638000
2000
A dokonca vydal knihu,
10:55
called "Rosey Grier's Needlepoint for Men."
259
640000
2000
ktorá sa volá "Vyšívanie pre mužov od Roseyho Griera".
10:57
(Laughter)
260
642000
2000
(Smiech)
10:59
(Applause)
261
644000
3000
(Potlesk)
11:02
It's a great cover.
262
647000
2000
To je skvelý obal.
11:04
If you notice, he's actually needlepointing his own face.
263
649000
3000
Všimnite si, že vyšíva svoju vlastnú tvár.
11:07
(Laughter)
264
652000
2000
(Smiech)
11:09
And so what I love about this story
265
654000
3000
Na tomto príbehu milujem,
11:12
is that Rosey Grier
266
657000
2000
že Rosey Grier
11:14
is just such an authentic person,
267
659000
2000
je úplne sám sebou.
11:16
and that's what authenticity is all about.
268
661000
2000
A o tom autenticita je.
11:18
It's just about being you and being cool with that.
269
663000
3000
Je to o tom byť sebou a byť s tým spokojný.
11:21
And I think when you're authentic,
270
666000
2000
A myslím, že keď ste sami sebou,
11:23
you end up following your heart,
271
668000
2000
tak budete nasledovať svoje srdce
11:25
and you put yourself in places
272
670000
2000
a dostanete sa na miesta
11:27
and situations and in conversations
273
672000
2000
a do situácií a do rozhovorov,
11:29
that you love and that you enjoy.
274
674000
2000
ktoré máte radi, a ktoré si užívate.
11:31
You meet people that you like talking to.
275
676000
2000
Stretnete ľudí, s ktorými sa radi rozprávate.
11:33
You go places you've dreamt about.
276
678000
2000
Pôjdete na miesta, o ktorých snívate.
11:35
And you end you end up following your heart
277
680000
2000
A nakoniec budete počúvať svoje srdce
11:37
and feeling very fulfilled.
278
682000
3000
a budete sa cítiť naplnení.
11:40
So those are the three A's.
279
685000
3000
Takže to sú tie tri A.
11:43
For the closing thought, I want to take you all the way back
280
688000
2000
A k tej záverečnej myšlienke. Chcem vás vziať späť
11:45
to my parents coming to Canada.
281
690000
3000
k mojim rodičom prichádzajúcim do Kanady.
11:48
I don't know what it would feel like
282
693000
2000
Neviem, ako by som sa cítil,
11:50
coming to a new country when you're in your mid-20s.
283
695000
3000
keby som sa sťahoval do novej krajiny ako 25-ročný.
11:53
I don't know, because I never did it,
284
698000
2000
Neviem to, pretože som to nikdy neurobil.
11:55
but I would imagine that it would take a great attitude.
285
700000
3000
Ale myslím si, že musíte mať skvelý postoj k veciam.
11:58
I would imagine that you'd have to be pretty aware of your surroundings
286
703000
3000
A musíte si všímať svoje okolie
12:01
and appreciating the small wonders
287
706000
2000
a uvedomovať si tie malé zázraky,
12:03
that you're starting to see in your new world.
288
708000
3000
ktoré vidíte vo svojom novom svete.
12:06
And I think you'd have to be really authentic,
289
711000
2000
A myslím, že musíte byť sám sebou,
12:08
you'd have to be really true to yourself
290
713000
2000
musíte byť k sebe úprimný,
12:10
in order to get through what you're being exposed to.
291
715000
3000
aby ste sa dostali cez to všetko, čo vás čaká.
12:14
I'd like to pause my TEDTalk
292
719000
2000
Rád by som na chvíľu prerušil svoju prednášku
12:16
for about 10 seconds right now,
293
721000
2000
asi na desať sekúnd,
12:18
because you don't get many opportunities in life to do something like this,
294
723000
2000
pretože v živote nedostanete veľa príležitostí urobiť niečo takéto,
12:20
and my parents are sitting in the front row.
295
725000
2000
a moji rodičia sedia v prvom rade.
12:22
So I wanted to ask them to, if they don't mind, stand up.
296
727000
2000
Chcel by som ich poprosiť, aby sa postavili.
12:24
And I just wanted to say thank you to you guys.
297
729000
2000
A chcel by som vám poďakovať.
12:26
(Applause)
298
731000
19000
(Potlesk)
12:45
When I was growing up, my dad used to love telling the story
299
750000
3000
Keď som vyrastal, môj ocko rád rozprával príbeh
12:48
of his first day in Canada.
300
753000
2000
o svojom prvom dni v Kanade.
12:50
And it's a great story, because what happened was
301
755000
3000
Je to skvelý príbeh. Hneď ako vystúpil z lietadla
12:53
he got off the plane at the Toronto airport,
302
758000
3000
v Toronte na letisku,
12:56
and he was welcomed by a non-profit group,
303
761000
2000
privítala ho nezisková organizácia
12:58
which I'm sure someone in this room runs.
304
763000
2000
ktorú určite vedie niekto z tejto miestnosti.
13:00
(Laughter)
305
765000
2000
(Smiech)
13:02
And this non-profit group had a big welcoming lunch
306
767000
3000
A táto nezisková organizácia mala veľký uvítací obed
13:05
for all the new immigrants to Canada.
307
770000
3000
pre nových imigrantov.
13:08
And my dad says he got off the plane and he went to this lunch
308
773000
3000
Takže vystúpil z lietadla a šiel na tento obed
13:11
and there was this huge spread.
309
776000
2000
a tam bola obrovská kopa jedla.
13:13
There was bread, there was those little, mini dill pickles,
310
778000
3000
Bol tam chlieb, a tie malé, malinké uhorky s kôprom,
13:16
there was olives, those little white onions.
311
781000
2000
boli tam olivy a tie malé biele cibuľky.
13:18
There was rolled up turkey cold cuts,
312
783000
2000
Boli tam rolky z morčacieho mäsa,
13:20
rolled up ham cold cuts, rolled up roast beef cold cuts
313
785000
2000
zo šunky, z pečeného hovädzieho mäsa
13:22
and little cubes of cheese.
314
787000
2000
a malé kocky syra.
13:24
There was tuna salad sandwiches and egg salad sandwiches
315
789000
3000
Boli tam sendviče z tuniaka a vajíčkového šalátu
13:27
and salmon salad sandwiches.
316
792000
2000
a z lososového šalátu.
13:29
There was lasagna, there was casseroles,
317
794000
2000
Boli tam lasagne a zapekané jedlá,
13:31
there was brownies, there was butter tarts,
318
796000
3000
boli tam sušienky, bublaniny s ovocím
13:34
and there was pies, lots and lots of pies.
319
799000
3000
a bolo tam veľa, veľa koláčov.
13:37
And when my dad tells the story, he says,
320
802000
2000
A keď môj ocko hovorí ten príbeh, vždy povie,
13:39
"The craziest thing was, I'd never seen any of that before, except bread.
321
804000
4000
„Najbláznivejšie bolo, že okrem chleba som nič z toho nikdy predtým nevidel.“
13:43
(Laughter)
322
808000
2000
(Smiech)
13:45
I didn't know what was meat, what was vegetarian.
323
810000
2000
Nevedel som, čo je mäso, čo je vegetariánske,
13:47
I was eating olives with pie.
324
812000
2000
a jedol som olivy s koláčom."
13:49
(Laughter)
325
814000
3000
(Smiech)
13:52
I just couldn't believe how many things you can get here."
326
817000
3000
"Nemohol som uveriť tomu, koľko vecí sa tu dá zohnať."
13:55
(Laughter)
327
820000
2000
(Smiech)
13:57
When I was five years old,
328
822000
2000
Keď som mal päť rokov,
13:59
my dad used to take me grocery shopping,
329
824000
2000
chodieval som s otcom do obchodu.
14:01
and he would stare in wonder
330
826000
2000
A on vždy zastal a s úžasom sa pozeral
14:03
at the little stickers that are on the fruits and vegetables.
331
828000
3000
na malé nálepky na ovocí a zelenine.
14:06
He would say, "Look, can you believe they have a mango here from Mexico?
332
831000
3000
A hovorieval, "Pozri sa, veril by si tomu, že tu majú mango z Mexika?
14:09
They've got an apple here from South Africa.
333
834000
3000
Majú jablko z Juhoafrickej republiky.
14:12
Can you believe they've got a date from Morocco?"
334
837000
3000
Veril by si tomu, že majú ďatle z Maroka?
14:15
He's like, "Do you know where Morocco even is?"
335
840000
3000
Vieš vôbec, kde je Maroko?"
14:18
And I'd say, "I'm five. I don't even know where I am.
336
843000
3000
A ja som na to povedal, "Ja mám päť rokov. Neviem, ani kde som.
14:21
Is this A&P?"
337
846000
3000
Je toto A&P?"
14:24
And he'd say, "I don't know where Morocco is either, but let's find out."
338
849000
3000
On povedal, "Tiež neviem, kde je Maroko, poďme to zistiť."
14:27
And so we'd buy the date, and we'd go home.
339
852000
2000
Kúpili sme tie ďatle a šli sme domov.
14:29
And we'd actually take an atlas off the shelf,
340
854000
2000
A naozaj sme vytiahli z poličky atlas
14:31
and we'd flip through until we found this mysterious country.
341
856000
3000
a prevracali sme strany, kým sme tú záhadnú krajinu nenašli.
14:34
And when we did, my dad would say,
342
859000
2000
A keď sme ju našli, môj otec povedal,
14:36
"Can you believe someone climbed a tree over there,
343
861000
2000
"Veril by si tomu, že niekto sa tam vyštveral na strom,
14:38
picked this thing off it, put it in a truck,
344
863000
2000
odtrhol tú vec, dal ju do nákladného auta,
14:40
drove it all the way to the docks
345
865000
3000
odviezol až do prístavu,
14:43
and then sailed it all the way
346
868000
2000
potom ju previezol
14:45
across the Atlantic Ocean
347
870000
2000
cez celý Atlantický oceán
14:47
and then put it in another truck
348
872000
2000
a dal ju do ďalšieho kamióna,
14:49
and drove that all the way to a tiny grocery store just outside our house,
349
874000
3000
ktorý ju doviezol do malého obchodíku rovno pred naším domom,
14:52
so they could sell it to us for 25 cents?"
350
877000
3000
aby ju mohli predať za 25 centov?
14:55
And I'd say, "I don't believe that."
351
880000
2000
Ja som povedal, "Tomu neverím."
14:57
And he's like, "I don't believe it either.
352
882000
2000
A on, "Ani ja.
14:59
Things are amazing. There's just so many things to be happy about."
353
884000
3000
Svet je úžasný. Je toľko vecí, z ktorých sa môžeš tešiť."
15:02
When I stop to think about it, he's absolutely right.
354
887000
2000
Zamyslel som sa nad tým a má absolútnu pravdu,
15:04
There are so many things to be happy about.
355
889000
2000
je toľko vecí, z ktorých sa môžeme tešiť.
15:06
We are the only species
356
891000
3000
Sme jediný druh
15:09
on the only life-giving rock
357
894000
3000
na jedinej skale, ktorá je schopná života,
15:12
in the entire universe that we've ever seen,
358
897000
3000
v celom vesmíre, ktorý poznáme,
15:15
capable of experiencing
359
900000
2000
jediný druh, ktorý je schopný zažívať
15:17
so many of these things.
360
902000
2000
tak veľa takýchto vecí.
15:19
I mean, we're the only ones with architecture and agriculture.
361
904000
3000
Sme jediní, kto má architektúru a poľnohospodárstvo.
15:22
We're the only ones with jewelry and democracy.
362
907000
3000
Sme jediní so šperkami a demokraciou.
15:25
We've got airplanes, highway lanes,
363
910000
3000
Máme lietadlá, diaľnice,
15:28
interior design and horoscope signs.
364
913000
2000
interiérový dizajn a znamenia horoskopu.
15:30
We've got fashion magazines, house party scenes.
365
915000
3000
Máme módne časopisy a domáce večierky.
15:33
You can watch a horror movie with monsters.
366
918000
2000
Môžete pozerať horor s príšerami.
15:35
You can go to a concert and hear guitars jamming.
367
920000
3000
Môžete ísť na koncert a počúvať, ako jamovanie s gitarami.
15:38
We've got books, buffets and radio waves,
368
923000
2000
Máme knihy, bufety a rádiové vlny,
15:40
wedding brides and rollercoaster rides.
369
925000
2000
nevesty a horské dráhy.
15:42
You can sleep in clean sheets.
370
927000
2000
Môžete spať v čisto oblečených perinách.
15:44
You can go to the movies and get good seats.
371
929000
2000
Môžete ísť do kina a dostať dobré miesto.
15:46
You can smell bakery air, walk around with rain hair,
372
931000
3000
Môžete cítiť vôňu pekárne, prechádzať sa v daždi,
15:49
pop bubble wrap or take an illegal nap.
373
934000
3000
pukať bublinkový obal alebo si zdriemnuť, keď by ste nemali.
15:52
We've got all that,
374
937000
2000
Máme to všetko,
15:54
but we've only got 100 years to enjoy it.
375
939000
3000
ale máme len 100 rokov na to, aby sme si to vychutnali.
15:58
And that's the sad part.
376
943000
2000
To je tá smutná časť.
16:02
The cashiers at your grocery store,
377
947000
3000
Pokladník vo vašom obchode,
16:05
the foreman at your plant,
378
950000
3000
šéf vo vašom podniku,
16:08
the guy tailgating you home on the highway,
379
953000
3000
chlapík, čo ide tesne za vami na diaľnici,
16:11
the telemarketer calling you during dinner,
380
956000
3000
obchodník, ktorý vám zavolá počas večere,
16:14
every teacher you've ever had,
381
959000
2000
každý váš učiteľ,
16:16
everyone that's ever woken up beside you,
382
961000
3000
každý, vedľa koho ste sa niekedy zobudili,
16:19
every politician in every country,
383
964000
2000
každý politik v každej krajine,
16:21
every actor in every movie,
384
966000
2000
každý herec v každom filme,
16:23
every single person in your family, everyone you love,
385
968000
3000
každý člen vašej rodiny, každý, koho milujete,
16:26
everyone in this room and you
386
971000
3000
každý v tejto miestnosti aj vy
16:29
will be dead in a hundred years.
387
974000
3000
bude za sto rokov mŕtvy.
16:32
Life is so great that we only get such a short time
388
977000
3000
Život je tak úžasný a máme tak málo času na to,
16:35
to experience and enjoy
389
980000
2000
aby sme si vychutnali
16:37
all those tiny little moments that make it so sweet.
390
982000
2000
tie malé, krátke momenty, ktoré ho robia krásnym.
16:39
And that moment is right now,
391
984000
2000
A tá chvíľa je práve teraz,
16:41
and those moments are counting down,
392
986000
3000
tie chvíle sa vám krátia,
16:44
and those moments are always, always, always fleeting.
393
989000
3000
a tie momenty sa vždy, vždy pominú.
16:49
You will never be as young as you are right now.
394
994000
4000
Nikdy nebudete takí mladí ako teraz.
16:54
And that's why I believe that if you live your life
395
999000
3000
A práve kvôli tomu verím, že ak budete žiť život
16:57
with a great attitude,
396
1002000
2000
so správnym postojom
16:59
choosing to move forward and move on
397
1004000
2000
a rozhodnete sa ísť ďalej a pokračovať,
17:01
whenever life deals you a blow,
398
1006000
2000
hoci vám život zasadí ranu pod pás,
17:03
living with a sense of awareness of the world around you,
399
1008000
3000
ak si budete uvedomovať svet okolo seba,
17:06
embracing your inner three year-old
400
1011000
2000
ak budete v sebe hľadať to vnútorné trojročné dieťa
17:08
and seeing the tiny joys that make life so sweet
401
1013000
3000
a vidieť malé radosti života, ktoré robia život tak krásnym,
17:11
and being authentic to yourself,
402
1016000
2000
a ak budete sami sebou,
17:13
being you and being cool with that,
403
1018000
2000
ak budete sami sebou a budete s tým spokojní,
17:15
letting your heart lead you and putting yourself in experiences that satisfy you,
404
1020000
3000
ak necháte vaše srdce viesť vaše životy k uspokojujúcim zážitkom,
17:18
then I think you'll live a life
405
1023000
2000
potom verím tomu, že budete žiť život,
17:20
that is rich and is satisfying,
406
1025000
2000
ktorý bude bohatý a uspokojujúci,
17:22
and I think you'll live a life that is truly awesome.
407
1027000
2000
a verím tomu, že budete žiť život, ktorý bude naozaj úžasný.
17:24
Thank you.

2000
Ďakujem.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Neil Pasricha - Director, The Institute for Global HappinessNeil Pasricha is the New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Equation and serves as the Director of the Institute for Global Happiness after a decade running leadership development inside Walmart. He is one the world's leading authorities on happiness and positivity.
Why you should listen
In 2008, Neil Pasricha's world fell apart after a sudden divorce and death of a close friend. He channeled his energies into his blog 1000 Awesome Things, which counted down one small pleasure -- like snow days, bakery air or finding money in your coat pocket -- every single day for 1000 straight days. While writing his blog, Neil was working as Director of Leadership Development inside Walmart, the world's largest company. He continued working there when his books The Book of Awesome, The Book of (Even More) Awesome and Awesome is Everywhere were published and started climbing bestseller lists and shipping millions of copies.
Years later, he fell in love again and got married. On the airplane home from his honeymoon, his wife told him she was pregnant, and Neil began writing again. The result was a 300-page letter written to his unborn son sharing the nine secrets to finding true happiness. That letter has evolved into The Happiness Equation.
