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

3000
Jam mesuar te mendoj per audiencen e Ted-it si nje koleksion shume te persosur
00:18
of some of the most effective, intelligent,
1
3000
2000
te disa prej inteligjenteve, me te efektshem,
00:20
intellectual, savvy,
2
5000
3000
intelektual, te urte,
00:23
worldly and innovative people in the world.
3
8000
2000
boterisht e njekohesisht njerez shume inovativ ne bote.
00:25
And I think that's true.
4
10000
2000
Dhe une mendoj se kjo eshte e vertete.
00:27
However, I also have reason to believe
5
12000
2000
Sidoqofte, une gjithashtu kam arsye per te besuar
00:29
that many, if not most, of you
6
14000
2000
qe shume, nese jo shume nga ju
00:31
are actually tying your shoes incorrectly.
7
16000
2000
jane duke i lidhur kepcet e tuaja ne menyre te gabuar.
00:33
(Laughter)
8
18000
2000
(Te qeshura)
00:35
Now I know that seems ludicrous.
9
20000
2000
Tani e di qe duket qesharake.
00:37
I know that seems ludicrous.
10
22000
2000
E di qe ju duket qesharake
00:39
And believe me, I lived the same sad life
11
24000
2000
Dhe besomni mua, kam jetuar te njejten jete te dhimbshme
00:41
until about three years ago.
12
26000
2000
deri para 3 viteve.
00:43
And what happened to me
13
28000
2000
Dhe cfare ndodhi me mua eshte qe une
00:45
was I bought, what was for me, a very expensive pair of shoes.
14
30000
3000
kisha blere, ate cfare ishte per mua, nje pale kepuce shum te shtrenjta.
00:48
But those shoes came with round nylon laces,
15
33000
3000
Po keto kepuce erdhen me nje lidhese najloni,
00:51
and I couldn't keep them tied.
16
36000
2000
dhe smund ti mbaja te lidhura.
00:53
So I went back to the store and said to the owner,
17
38000
2000
Keshtu qe u ktheva ne dyqan dhe e pyeta pronarin,
00:55
"I love the shoes, but I hate the laces."
18
40000
2000
"I dua shum kepucet, por i urrej lidheset."
00:57
He took a look and said, "Oh, you're tying them wrong."
19
42000
3000
Ai i pa dhe tha, "Oh po ju jeni duke i lidhur ato gabim."
01:00
Now up until that moment,
20
45000
2000
Tani e deri ne ate moment,
01:02
I would have thought that, by age 50,
21
47000
3000
une kisha menduar se, deri ne moshen 50,
01:05
one of the life skills that I had really nailed
22
50000
3000
njera prej aftesive te jetes qe une me te vertete e kisha gozhduar
01:08
was tying my shoes.
23
53000
2000
ishte te lidhja kepucet e mia.
01:10
But not so -- let me demonstrate.
24
55000
3000
Por nuk ishte ashty --- me lejoni t'jua demonstroj.
01:14
This is the way
25
59000
2000
Kjo eshte menyra
01:16
that most of us were taught to tie our shoes.
26
61000
3000
qe shumicesh prej nesh i eshte mesuar sesi te lidhim kepucet tona.
01:22
Now as it turns out -- thank you.
27
67000
3000
Tani sic duket -- Faliminderit.
01:25
Wait, there's more.
28
70000
2000
Prisni, ka me teper.
01:27
As it turns out,
29
72000
3000
Sic duket,
01:30
there's a strong form and a weak form of this knot,
30
75000
2000
eksiston nje menyr e forte dhe nje forme e dobet nyjeje,
01:32
and we were taught to tie the weak form.
31
77000
2000
dhe ne jemi mesuar per ti lidhur me ate me te dobten.
01:34
And here's how to tell.
32
79000
2000
Dhe kjo eshte se si duhet.
01:36
If you pull the strands at the base of the knot,
33
81000
2000
Po ta vendosni fijen ne baze te nyjes,
01:38
you will see that the bow will orient itself
34
83000
3000
ju do te shihni qe harku do ta orientoj veten
01:41
down the long axis of the shoe.
35
86000
2000
poshte boshtit te kepuceve.
01:43
That's the weak form of the knot.
36
88000
2000
Kjo eshte forma e dobet e lidhjes se nyjes.
01:45
But not to worry.
37
90000
2000
Por mos u merzitni.
01:47
If we start over
38
92000
2000
Nese fillojme nga e para
01:49
and simply go the other direction
39
94000
2000
dhe thjesht shkojme ne drejtimin e kundert
01:51
around the bow,
40
96000
2000
rreth harkut,
01:53
we get this, the strong form of the knot.
41
98000
3000
perfitojme kete, menyren e forte te lidhjes se nyjes.
01:56
And if you pull the cords under the knot,
42
101000
3000
Dhe nese i vendosim spangot nen nyje,
01:59
you will see that the bow orients itself
43
104000
2000
do te shihni se boshti orienton veten
02:01
along the transverse axis of the shoe.
44
106000
3000
gjate aksit te kepucve.
02:04
This is a stronger knot. It will come untied less often.
45
109000
3000
Kji eshte nje menyr e forte e lidhjes se nyjeve. Shumicen e koheve vjen e palidhur.
02:07
It will let you down less,
46
112000
2000
Do t'ju le pa te,
02:09
and not only that, it looks better.
47
114000
3000
dhe jo vetem kjo, duket me mire.
02:12
We're going to do this one more time.
48
117000
2000
Ne do ta bejme kete edhe nje here tjeter.
02:14
(Applause)
49
119000
3000
(Duartrokitje)
02:17
Start as usual,
50
122000
4000
Fillon si zakonisht,
02:21
go the other way around the loop.
51
126000
2000
shkon ne menya te tjera rreth lakut.
02:23
This is a little hard for children,
52
128000
2000
Kjo eshte pak e veshtir per femijet,
02:25
but I think you can handle it.
53
130000
2000
por une mendoj se mund ta perballojme ate.
02:29
Pull the knot.
54
134000
2000
Terhiqni nyjen.
02:31
There it is: the strong form of the shoe knot.
55
136000
3000
Ja ku eshte: Menyra e fort e lidhjes se nyjes.
02:34
Now, in keeping with today's theme,
56
139000
4000
Tani, po te vazhdojme me temen e dites,
02:38
I'd like to point out -- and something you already know --
57
143000
2000
deshiroj te theksoi -- dicka qe ju tashme e dini --
02:40
that sometimes a small advantage
58
145000
2000
qe ndonjehere nje avantazh i vogel
02:42
someplace in life
59
147000
2000
diku ne jet
02:44
can yield tremendous results someplace else.
60
149000
3000
mund t'ju sjell rezultate shum te mira diku tjeter.
02:48
Live long and prosper.
61
153000
2000
Jetoni gjate dhe me sukses.
02:50
(Applause)
