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

4000
Predstavljajte si, da stojite na ulici nekje v Ameriki
00:19
and a Japanese man comes up to you and says,
1
4000
3000
in k vam pristopi Japonec in vpraša:
00:22
"Excuse me, what is the name of this block?"
2
7000
2000
"Oprostite, kako se imenuje ta blok?"
00:24
And you say, "I'm sorry, well, this is Oak Street, that's Elm Street.
3
9000
4000
Vi rečete: "Oprostite. Torej, to je Ulica hrastov, tam je Ulica brestov.
00:28
This is 26th, that's 27th."
4
13000
2000
To je 26., tisto je 27."
00:30
He says, "OK, but what is the name of that block?"
5
15000
2000
On reče: "No, v redu. Kako se imenuje tisti blok?"
00:32
You say, "Well, blocks don't have names.
6
17000
3000
Vi rečete: "No, bloki nimajo imen.
00:35
Streets have names; blocks are just the
7
20000
2000
Ulice imajo imena; bloki so samo
00:37
unnamed spaces in between streets."
8
22000
2000
neimenovani prostori med ulicami."
00:39
He leaves, a little confused and disappointed.
9
24000
4000
On odide, rahlo zmeden in razočaran.
00:43
So, now imagine you're standing on a street, anywhere in Japan,
10
28000
3000
Zdaj pa si predstavljajte, da stojite na ulici nekje na Japonskem,
00:46
you turn to a person next to you and say,
11
31000
2000
in vprašate mimoidočega:
00:48
"Excuse me, what is the name of this street?"
12
33000
2000
"Oprostite, kako se imenuje ta ulica?"
00:50
They say, "Oh, well that's Block 17 and this is Block 16."
13
35000
4000
On odgovori: "Tisto je blok 17 in to je blok 16."
00:54
And you say, "OK, but what is the name of this street?"
14
39000
3000
In vi rečete: "Okej, ampak kako se imenuje ta ulica?"
00:57
And they say, "Well, streets don't have names.
15
42000
2000
In on odgovori: "Ulice nimajo imen.
00:59
Blocks have names.
16
44000
2000
Bloki jih imajo.
01:01
Just look at Google Maps here. There's Block 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
17
46000
4000
Poglejte na Google Maps. To je blok 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
01:05
All of these blocks have names,
18
50000
2000
Vsi ti bloki imajo imena.
01:07
and the streets are just the unnamed spaces in between the blocks.
19
52000
4000
Ulice so samo neimenovani prostori med bloki.
01:11
And you say then, "OK, then how do you know your home address?"
20
56000
3000
In potem vprašate: "Kako pa veste vaš domač naslov?"
01:14
He said, "Well, easy, this is District Eight.
21
59000
3000
In on: "Preprosto, to je okrožje 8.
01:17
There's Block 17, house number one."
22
62000
3000
Tam je blok 17, hiša številka 1."
01:20
You say, "OK, but walking around the neighborhood,
23
65000
2000
Vi rečete: "Okej. Vendar, ko sem hodil po soseščini,
01:22
I noticed that the house numbers don't go in order."
24
67000
2000
sem opazil, da hišne številke ne gredo po vrstnem redu."
01:24
He says, "Of course they do. They go in the order in which they were built.
25
69000
3000
On pravi: "Seveda gredo. Gredo po vrsti, kot so bile zgrajene.
01:27
The first house ever built on a block is house number one.
26
72000
3000
Prva hiša, ki so jo zgradili v bloku, je hiša številka ena.
01:30
The second house ever built is house number two.
27
75000
3000
Druga hiša, ki so jo zgradili, je hiša številka dve.
01:33
Third is house number three. It's easy. It's obvious."
28
78000
2000
Tretja je hiša številka tri. Preprosto. Saj je očitno."
01:35
So, I love that sometimes we need to
29
80000
3000
Obožujem, da moramo včasih
01:38
go to the opposite side of the world
30
83000
2000
iti na drugo stran sveta,
01:40
to realize assumptions we didn't even know we had,
31
85000
2000
da spoznamo predpostavke, za katere sploh nismo vedeli, da jih imamo,
01:42
and realize that the opposite of them may also be true.
32
87000
3000
in spoznamo, da njihovo nasprotje prav tako lahko drži.
01:45
So, for example, there are doctors in China
33
90000
2000
Na primer, na Kitajskem so zdravniki,
01:47
who believe that it's their job to keep you healthy.
34
92000
3000
ki verjamejo, da je njihova služba, da vas ohranjajo zdrave.
01:50
So, any month you are healthy you pay them,
35
95000
2000
Vsak mesec, ko ste zdravi, jim plačate,
01:52
and when you're sick you don't have to pay them because they failed
36
97000
2000
in ko zbolite, jim ni treba plačati, ker svojega dela
01:54
at their job. They get rich when you're healthy, not sick.
37
99000
2000
niso opravili. Obogatijo, ko ste zdravi, ne bolni.
01:56
(Applause)
38
101000
3000
(aplavz)
01:59
In most music, we think of the "one"
39
104000
2000
V večini glasbe z "en" mislimo
02:01
as the downbeat, the beginning of the musical phrase: one, two, three, four.
40
106000
4000
prvo poudarjeno dobo, začetek glasbene fraze. En, dva, tri, štir'.
02:05
But in West African music, the "one"
41
110000
2000
Toda v zahodnoafriški glasbi "en"
02:07
is thought of as the end of the phrase,
42
112000
2000
pomeni konec fraze,
02:09
like the period at the end of a sentence.
43
114000
2000
kot pika na koncu stavka.
02:11
So, you can hear it not just in the phrasing, but the way they count off their music:
44
116000
2000
Tega torej ne slišite samo v frazah, ampak tudi v načinu, kako štejejo glasbo.
02:13
two, three, four, one.
45
118000
3000
Dva, tri, štir', en.
02:16
And this map is also accurate.
46
121000
3000
Ta zemljevid je tudi točen.
02:19
(Laughter)
47
124000
2000
(smeh)
02:21
There's a saying that whatever true thing you can say about India,
48
126000
3000
Obstaja rek, da karkoli resničnega poveste o Indiji,
02:24
the opposite is also true.
49
129000
2000
je popolno nasprotje tudi res.
02:26
So, let's never forget, whether at TED, or anywhere else,
50
131000
2000
Nikoli ne pozabimo, pa če smo na TED ali kjerkoli drugje,
02:28
that whatever brilliant ideas you have or hear,
51
133000
3000
da kakršnekoli izvrstne ideje imate ali jih slišite,
02:31
that the opposite may also be true.
52
136000
2000
njihovo nasprotje je prav tako lahko res.
02:33
Domo arigato gozaimashita.
53
138000
2000
Najlepša hvala. (Domo arigato gozaimashita.)

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."
