06:28
So the bandstandpaviljonu, as we call it,
13
373000
2000
Dakle, pozornica,
kako je mi zovemo,
06:30
this is an incredibleневероватан spaceпростор.
14
375000
2000
je jedno neverovatno mesto.
06:32
It is really a sacredсвето spaceпростор.
15
377000
2000
To je zapravo sveto mesto.
06:34
And one of the things that is really sacredсвето about it
16
379000
2000
I jedna od stvari koje je
čine svetim mestom
06:36
is that you have no opportunityприлика to think about the futureбудућност,
17
381000
3000
je ta što nemate mogućnost
da razmišljate o budućnosti,
06:39
or the pastпрошлост.
18
384000
2000
ni prošlosti.
06:41
You really are aliveжив right here in this momentтренутак.
19
386000
2000
Zaista ste živi upravo
ovde u ovom trenutku.
06:43
There are so manyмноги decisionsОдлуке beingбиће madeмаде
20
388000
2000
Toliko se odluka donosi
06:45
when you walkходати on the bandstandpaviljonu.
21
390000
2000
dok hodate ka pozornici.
06:47
We had no ideaидеја what keyкључ we were going to playигра in.
22
392000
3000
Nismo imali ideju u
kom ključu da sviramo.
06:50
In the middleсредина, we sortврста of madeмаде our way
23
395000
2000
U sredini, nekako smo
pronašli put
06:52
into a songпесма calledпозвани "TitiTiti BoomBum."
24
397000
2000
u pesmu zvanu
"Titi Boom".
06:54
But that could have happenedдесило -- maybe, maybe not.
25
399000
3000
Ali to je moglo da se desi -
možda da, možda i ne.
06:57
Everyone'sSvi su listeningслушање. We're respondingодговара.
26
402000
2000
Svi slušaju.
Mi reagujemo.
06:59
You have no time for projectedпројектован ideasидеје.
27
404000
2000
Nemate vremena za
projektovane ideje.
07:01
So the ideaидеја of a mistakeгрешка:
28
406000
3000
Tako da je ideja greške:
07:04
From the perspectiveперспектива of a jazzјазз musicianмузичар,
29
409000
2000
iz perspektive džez muzičara,
07:06
it's easierлакше to talk about someoneнеко else'sдруго mistakeгрешка.
30
411000
3000
lakše je pričati
o tuđim greškama.
07:11
So the way I perceivedoživljavaju a mistakeгрешка when I'm on the bandstandpaviljonu --
31
416000
3000
Način na koji ja doživljavam grešku
kada sam na pozornici -
07:14
first of all, we don't really see it as a mistakeгрешка.
32
419000
2000
pre svega, mi je zapravo
ne doživljavamo kao grešku.
07:16
The only mistakeгрешка liesлажи
33
421000
2000
Jedina greška leži
07:18
in that I'm not ableу могуцности to perceivedoživljavaju
34
423000
2000
u tome da nisam
u stanju da opazim
07:20
what it is that someoneнеко elseдруго did.
35
425000
2000
šta je to što je
neko drugi uradio.
07:22
EverySvaki "mistakeгрешка" is an opportunityприлика in jazzјазз.
36
427000
3000
Svaka "greška"
je mogućnost u džezu.
07:25
So it's hardтешко to even describeопишите
37
430000
2000
Tako da je teško uopšte opisati
07:27
what a funnyсмешно noteБелешка would be.
38
432000
2000
šta bi bila smešna nota.
07:29
So for exampleпример, if I playedиграо a colorбоја, like we were playingиграње on a paletteпалета,
39
434000
3000
Na primer, kad bih odsvirao boju,
kao što smo svirali na paleti,
07:32
that soundedзвучало like this ...
40
437000
2000
to je zvučalo ovako ...
07:34
(MusicMuzika)
41
439000
2000
(Muzika)
07:36
So if ChristianKristijan playedиграо a noteБелешка -- like playигра an F.
42
441000
3000
Ako bi Kristijan odsvirao notu - odsviraj F.
07:39
(MusicMuzika)
43
444000
2000
(Muzika)
07:41
See, these are all right insideу of the colorбоја paletteпалета.
44
446000
3000
Vidite, sve su one
baš u paleti boja.
07:44
If you playedиграо an E.
45
449000
3000
Kad bi odsvirao E.
07:47
See, these all lieлажи right insideу
46
452000
2000
Vidite, sve one leže unutar
07:49
of this generalгенерално emotionalемоционално paletteпалета that we were paintingсликарство.
47
454000
2000
ove generalne emotivne
palete koju smo slikali.
07:51
If you playedиграо an F# thoughипак,
48
456000
2000
Ako biste, pak, odsvirali fis,
07:53
(DissonanceKonflikt)
49
458000
4000
(Disonancija)
07:57
to mostнајвише people'sљуди earsуши, they would perceivedoživljavaju that as a mistakeгрешка.
50
462000
3000
za sluh većine ljudi,
to bi opazili kao grešku.
08:00
So I'm going to showсхов you, we're going to playигра just for a secondдруго.
51
465000
2000
Pokazaću vam,
sviraćemo samo na koji sekund.
08:02
And we're going to playигра on this paletteпалета.
52
467000
2000
I sviraćemo na ovoj paleti.
08:04
And at some pointтачка, ChristianKristijan will introduceувести this noteБелешка.
53
469000
2000
U jednom trenutku,
Kristijan će predstaviti ovu notu.
08:06
And we won'tнеће reactреаговати to it.
54
471000
2000
I mi nećemo reagovati na istu.
08:08
He'llOn ce introduceувести it for a secondдруго
55
473000
2000
Predstaviće je na sekund
08:10
and then I'll stop, I'll talk for a secondдруго.
56
475000
2000
i zatim ću ja stati,
pričaću koji sekund.
08:12
We'llCemo see what happensсе дешава when we playигра with this paletteпалета.
57
477000
2000
Videćemo šta se dešava kada
sviramo sa ovom paletom.
08:14
(MusicMuzika)
58
479000
10000
(Muzika)
08:39
So someoneнеко could conceptuallykonceptualno perceivedoživljavaju that as a mistakeгрешка.
59
504000
4000
Neko je konceptualno mogao
ovo opaziti kao grešku.
08:43
The only way that I would say it was a mistakeгрешка
60
508000
2000
Jedino zbog čega ću ja
reći da je bila greška
08:45
is in that we didn't reactреаговати to it.
61
510000
2000
je to što nismo
odreagovali na nju.
08:47
It was an opportunityприлика that was missedПропустио.
62
512000
2000
To je bila propuštena
mogućnost.
08:49
So it's unpredictableнепредвидив. We'llCemo paintбоје this paletteпалета again.
63
514000
3000
Nepredvidivo je.
Naslikaćemo ovu paletu ponovo.
08:52
He'llOn ce playигра it. I don't know how we'llдобро reactреаговати to it, but something will changeпромена.
64
517000
3000
On će je odsvirati. Ne znam kako ćemo
odreagovati na nju, ali nešto će biti drugačije.
08:55
We'llCemo all acceptприхватити his ideasидеје,
65
520000
2000
Prihvatićemo njegove ideje
08:57
or not.
66
522000
2000
ili ne.
08:59
(MusicMuzika)
67
524000
10000
(Muzika)
10:08
So you see, he playedиграо this noteБелешка.
68
593000
2000
Dakle, vidite,
odsvirao je svoju notu.
10:10
I endedзавршио up creatingстварање a melodyмелодија out of it.
69
595000
2000
A ja sam napravio
melodiju od nje.
10:12
The textureтекстура changedпромењено in the drumsBubnjevi this time.
70
597000
2000
Tekstura se promenila
u bubnjevima ovaj put.
10:14
It got a little bitмало more rhythmicRitmički, a little bitмало more intenseинтензивно
71
599000
3000
Postala je malo ritmičnija,
intenzivnija
10:17
in responseодговор to how I respondedодговорио to it.
72
602000
2000
kao posledica
moje reakcije.
10:19
So there is no mistakeгрешка.
73
604000
2000
Dakle, ne postoji greška.
10:21
The only mistakeгрешка is if I'm not awareсвесна,
74
606000
2000
Jedina greška je
ukoliko nisam svestan,
10:23
if eachсваки individualпојединац musicianмузичар is not awareсвесна
75
608000
2000
ukoliko svaki muzičar
nije svestan
10:25
and acceptingPrihvatanje enoughдовољно of his fellowколега bandбанд memberчлан

610000
4000

to incorporateugraditi the ideaидеја and we don't allowдозволите for creativityкреативност.
77
614000
3000
pri ubacivanju ideje i ukoliko
ne dozvoljavamo kreativnost.
10:32
So jazzјазз, this bandstandpaviljonu is absolutelyапсолутно amazingНевероватно.
78
617000
4000
Dakle džez, ova pozornica je
potpuno neverovatna.
10:36
It's a very purifyingpreиiљжavanje experienceискуство.
79
621000
2000
Veoma pročišćavajuće iskustvo.
10:38
And I know that I speakговорити for all of us when I tell you that we don't take it for grantedодобрено.
80
623000
3000
I znam da govorim u ime svih
kad vam kažem da je ne shvatamo olako.
10:41
We know that to be ableу могуцности to come on the bandstandpaviljonu and playигра musicмузика is a blessingблагослов.
81
626000
4000
Znamo da je mogućnost za
sviranje na pozornici blagoslov.
10:45
So how does this all relateодносе to behavioralBihejvioralni financeфинансије?
82
630000
3000
Kako se sve to
ogleda u finansijama?
10:48
Well we're jazzјазз musiciansмузичари,
83
633000
2000
Pa mi smo
džez muzičari,
10:50
so stereotypicallystereotypically we don't have a great relationshipоднос to financeфинансије.
84
635000
2000
pa strereotipno nemamo baš
najbolji odnos sa finansijama.
10:52
(LaughterSmeh)
85
637000
3000
(Smeh)
10:55
AnywayIonako, I just wanted to sortврста of pointтачка out the way that we handleручку it.
86
640000
3000
Kako god, želeo sam da istaknem
kako se mi sa tim nosimo.
10:58
And the other dynamicдинамичан of it
87
643000
2000
A druga dinamika toga je
11:00
is that we don't micromanagegovoriti in jazzјазз.
88
645000
3000
što nema vođa u džezu.
11:03
You have some people who do.
89
648000
2000
Postoje ljudi
koji to čine.
11:05
But what that does
90
650000
2000
Ali time se
11:07
is it actuallyзаправо limitsограничења the artisticуметнички possibilitiesмогућности.
91
652000
2000
zapravo ograničavaju
umetničke mogućnosti.
11:09
If I come up and I dictateдиктира to the bandбанд
92
654000
3000
Ako ja dođem i krenem
da dirigujem bendu
11:12
that I want to playигра like this and I want the musicмузика to go this way,
93
657000
2000
kako želim da sviramo ovako
i da zvučimo ovako
11:14
and I just jumpскок right in ...
94
659000
2000
i jednostavno uskočim u ...
11:16
readyспреман, just playигра some time.
95
661000
2000
spremni, samo svirajte
neko vreme.
11:18
One, two, one, two, threeтри, fourчетири.

11:32
It's kindкинд of chaoticхаотичан because I'm bullyingmaltretiranje my ideasидеје.
98
677000
2000
Pomalo je haotično
jer namećem svoje ideje.
11:34
I'm tellingговорећи them, "You come with me over this way."
99
679000
2000
Govorim im: "Pođite sa mnom u ovom pravcu".
11:36
If I really want the musicмузика to go there,
100
681000
2000
Ukoliko zaista želim da
muzika ide u tom pravcu,
11:38
the bestнајбоље way for me to do it is to listen.
101
683000
2000
najbolji način
je da slušam.
11:40
This is a scienceНаука of listeningслушање.
102
685000
2000
Ovo je nauka slušanja.
11:42
It has farдалеко more to do with what I can perceivedoživljavaju
103
687000
2000
Mnogo više se bazira na tome
šta mogu da opazim
11:44
than what it is that I can do.
104
689000
2000
nego na tome
šta mogu da uradim.
11:46
So if I want the musicмузика to get to a certainизвестан levelниво of intensityинтензитет,
105
691000
3000
Dakle, ako želim da muzika
postigne određeni intenzitet,
11:49
the first stepкорак for me is
106
694000
2000
prvi korak za mene je
11:51
to be patientпацијент, to listen to what's going on
107
696000
2000
da budem strpljiv,
da osluškujem šta se dešava
11:53
and pullповући from something that's going on around me.
108
698000
3000
i izvučem to iz nečega
što se dešava oko mene.
11:56
When you do that, you engageангажовати and inspireинспирисати the other musiciansмузичари
109
701000
3000
Kada postupate tako,
inspirišete i ostale muzičare
11:59
and they give you more, and graduallyпостепено it buildsгради.
110
704000
2000
i daju vam više
i postepeno se gradi.
12:01
Watch. One, two, a one, two, threeтри, fourчетири.
111
706000
3000
Posmatrajte.
Jedan, dva, jedan, dva, tri, četiri.

It's much more organicоргански. It's much more nuancediznijansirana.
114
752000
2000
Mnogo je više organski.
Mnogo je suptilnije.
12:49
It's not about bullyingmaltretiranje my visionвизија or anything like that.
115
