as my people are dyingумирање,

A u isto vreme, znate,
dok moji ljudi umiru,
i moja kultura izumire.
02:10
my cultureкултура is alsoтакође dyingумирање.
34
118564
1247
02:11
There, I said it.
35
119835
1167
Eto, rekla sam.
02:13
Because, you know,
we have this cultureкултура inferiorityinferiornosti,
36
121026
2439
Jer, znate, mi imamo
kulturnu inferiornost,
02:15
whichкоја meansзначи that anything
that comesдолази from us is not good enoughдовољно.
37
123489
3286
što znači da ništa naše
nije dovoljno dobro.
02:18
But you know, in my situationситуација,
38
126799
1445
Ali, znate, u mojoj situaciji,
02:20
and because I was raisedОдгојен to criticizeкритиковати
by creatingстварање, it's MichelangelosPatrona.
39
128268
5269
jer sam vaspitana da kritikujem
stvarajući, za mene su to remek-dela.
02:25
My fatherотац said, "Do not
come to me with problemsпроблеми
40
133561
2326
Otac mi je rekao:
„Nemoj mi se žaliti na probleme
02:27
unlessосим ако не you thought
of a coupleпар alternativesalternative.
41
135911
2057
ako nisi smislila par rešenja.
Ne moraju da budu prava,
samo želim da znam da si nešto smislila.“
02:29
They don't have to be right,
42
137992
1363
02:31
but I just want to know
that you thought of something."
43
139379
2579
Zato je moj životni stav -
ako nešto ne valja, probaj da popraviš.
02:33
So, I have this attitudeстав in life --
something is wrongпогрешно, find a way to fixпоправи it.
44
141982
3722
Zato i započinjem poslove koje započinjem,
02:37
And that's why I startпочетак

and they all have that in commonзаједнички.
53
170450
2008
i sve imaju to zajedničko.
03:05
So, why are these people leavingодлазак?
54
173823
2961
Pa, zašto ovi ljudi odlaze?
03:09
They're leavingодлазак because they have no jobsпосао.
55
177371
3065
Odlaze jer nemaju posao.
03:13
They're leavingодлазак because
where they are, there's no jobsпосао.
56
181093
2738
Odlaze, jer tu gde su, nema poslova.
Pa...
03:15
So ...
57

But povertyсиромаштво, that's really strikingупечатљив them,
is the rootкорен causeузрок of why they're leavingодлазак.
58
186053

Siromaštvo, koje ih jako pogađa,
je glavni uzrok njihovog odlaska.
03:24
Now, why are people poorлоше?
59
192977
2023
E sad, zašto su ljudi siromašni?
03:27
People are poorлоше
because they have no moneyновац.
60
195024
2049
Ljudi su siromašni jer nemaju novca.
A nemaju novca jer nemaju izvor prihoda.
03:29
You have no moneyновац
because you have no sourceизвор of incomeприход.
61
197097
2626
Većini nas, izvor prihoda je šta?
03:31
And for mostнајвише of us,
what is a sourceизвор of incomeприход?
62
199747
2227
Većini nas, izvor prihoda
je šta, kažite mi?
03:33
For mostнајвише of us, what is our

E sad, ako poslovi rešavaju siromaštvo,
03:50
and jobsпосао come from businessesпредузећа,
69
218159

05:30
because I explainedобјаснио је the sameисти thing
to my employeesзапослени in SenegalSenegal.
107
318046

jer sam isto to objasnila
svojim zaposlenima u Senegalu.
05:33
And one of them startedпочела cryingplakanje --

Počela je da plače.
05:37
I said, "Why are you cryingplakanje?"
110
325506
1405
Pitala sam: „Zašto plačeš?“
05:38
She said, "I'm cryingplakanje
because I had come to believe --
111
326935
3525
Rekla je: „Plačem jer sam bila ubeđena -

05:56
But at the sameисти time that she said that,
117
344125
1912
U isto vreme kad je ona to rekla,
zbog toga kako sam objasnila
ono što sam i vama upravo,
