So, imagine you're standing on a street anywhere in America
0
0
4000
Isipin niyo na kayo ay nakatayo sa isang kalye saan man sa Amerika
00:19
and a Japanese man comes up to you and says,
1
4000
3000
at isang Hapon ang lumapit sa iyo at nagtanong,
00:22
"Excuse me, what is the name of this block?"
2
7000
2000
"Mawalang galang na po, ano po ba ang pangalan ng block na ito?"
00:24
And you say, "I'm sorry, well, this is Oak Street, that's Elm Street.
3
9000
4000
At sinabi mo, "Paumanhin po. Ito ay Oak Street, at iyan ay Elm Street.
00:28
This is 26th, that's 27th."
4
13000
2000
Dito naman ay 26th, iyan ay 27th."
00:30
He says, "OK, but what is the name of that block?"
5
15000
2000
Sabi niya, "Ah, okay. Ano ang pangalan ng block na iyan?"
00:32
You say, "Well, blocks don't have names.
6
17000
3000
Sagot mo, "Wala pong pangalan ang mga blocks."
00:35
Streets have names; blocks are just the
7
20000
2000
Ang mga kalye meron; ang mga block ay mga
00:37
unnamed spaces in between streets."
8
22000
2000
espasyo lamang na walang pangalan sa pagitan ng mga kalye."
00:39
He leaves, a little confused and disappointed.
9
24000
4000
Umalis siyang nalilito at dismayado.
00:43
So, now imagine you're standing on a street, anywhere in Japan,
10
28000
3000
Ngayon, isipin mo na ikaw ay nakatayo sa isang kalye, saan man sa Japan,
00:46
you turn to a person next to you and say,
11
31000
2000
lumingon ka sa taong katabi mo at nagtanong,
00:48
"Excuse me, what is the name of this street?"
12
33000
2000
"Paumanhin po, ano po ba ang pangalan ng kalyeng ito?"
00:50
They say, "Oh, well that's Block 17 and this is Block 16."
13
35000
4000
Sabi nila, "Oh, iyan ay block 17 at dito ay block 16."
00:54
And you say, "OK, but what is the name of this street?"
14
39000
3000
At sabi mo, "Okay, pero ano ang pangalan ng kalyeng ito?"
00:57
And they say, "Well, streets don't have names.
15
42000
2000
Tapos sagot nila, "Walang pangalan ang mga kalye.
00:59
Blocks have names.
16
44000
2000
Ang mga blocks meron.
01:01
Just look at Google Maps here. There's Block 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
17
46000
4000
Tingnan mo sa Google Maps dito. Merong block 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
01:05
All of these blocks have names,
18
50000
2000
Merong pangalan ang lahat ng mga block.
01:07
and the streets are just the unnamed spaces in between the blocks.
19
52000
4000
Ang mga kalye ay mga espasyong walang pangalan sa pagitan ng mga blocks.
01:11
And you say then, "OK, then how do you know your home address?"
20
56000
3000
At sinabi mo, "Okay, so paano mo malaman ang address ng iyong tirahan?"
01:14
He said, "Well, easy, this is District Eight.
21
59000
3000
Sabi niya, "Madali lang, dito ay District Eight.
01:17
There's Block 17, house number one."
22
62000
3000
Nandyan ang block 17,Unang tirahan."
01:20
You say, "OK, but walking around the neighborhood,
23
65000
2000
Sinabi mo, "Okay, Pero sa paglalakad ko sa paligid,
01:22
I noticed that the house numbers don't go in order."
24
67000
2000
Napansin ko na hindi sunod-sunod ang mga numero ng bahay."
01:24
He says, "Of course they do. They go in the order in which they were built.
25
69000
3000
Sabi niya, "Syempre. Binibigay ang numero ayon sa pagkakasunod-sunod ng pagpapatayo ng gusali.
01:27
The first house ever built on a block is house number one.
26
72000
3000
Ang pinaka-unang bahay na ginawa sa isang block ang may unang bilang.
01:30
The second house ever built is house number two.
27
75000
3000
Ang pangalawang bahay na ginawa ay may pangalawang bilang.
01:33
Third is house number three. It's easy. It's obvious."
28
78000
2000
Ang pangatlo ay pangatlong bilang. Madali lang. Halata nga e."
01:35
So, I love that sometimes we need to
29
80000
3000
Kaya, nakakatuwa na minsa'y kailangan nating
01:38
go to the opposite side of the world
30
83000
2000
pumunta sa kabilang panig ng mundo
01:40
to realize assumptions we didn't even know we had,
31
85000
2000
upang matanto ang mga pagpapalagay na hindi natin inaakala,
01:42
and realize that the opposite of them may also be true.
32
87000
3000
at malaman natin na ang kabaligtaran nila ay maari din maging tama.
01:45
So, for example, there are doctors in China
33
90000
2000
Kaya, halimbawa, may mga manggagamot sa Tsina
01:47
who believe that it's their job to keep you healthy.
34
92000
3000
na naniniwalang ang trabaho nila ay panatilihing malusog ang inyong pangangatawan.
01:50
So, any month you are healthy you pay them,
35
95000
2000
Kaya, sa bawat buwan na kayo ay malusog, binabayaran niyo sila,
01:52
and when you're sick you don't have to pay them because they failed
36
97000
2000
at kung ikaw man ay magsakit, hindi mo kailangan magbayad dahil sila ay nabigo
01:54
at their job. They get rich when you're healthy, not sick.
37
99000
2000
sa kanilang trabaho. Yumayaman sila kapag ika'y malusog, hindi kung ika'y may-sakit.
01:56
(Applause)
38
101000
3000
(Palakpakan)
01:59
In most music, we think of the "one"
39
104000
2000
Sa mga musika, iniisip na ang "isa" ay
02:01
as the downbeat, the beginning of the musical phrase: one, two, three, four.
40
106000
4000
para sa downbeat, at ang simula ng musical phrase. Isa, dalawa tatlo apat.
02:05
But in West African music, the "one"
41
110000
2000
Ngunit sa musika ng Kanlurang Africa, ang "isa"
02:07
is thought of as the end of the phrase,
42
112000
2000
ay ang dulo ng bawat taludtod,
02:09
like the period at the end of a sentence.
43
114000
2000
kagaya ng tuldok sa katapusan ng isang pangungusap.
02:11
So, you can hear it not just in the phrasing, but the way they count off their music:
44
116000
2000
Kaya, napapakinggan niyo ito hindi lamang sa bawat taludtod, ngunit pati din sa paraan kung paano nila binibilang ang kanilang musika.
02:13
two, three, four, one.
45
118000
3000
Dalawa, tatlo, apat, isa.
02:16
And this map is also accurate.
46
121000
3000
At ang mapang ito ay wastong-wasto.
02:19
(Laughter)
47
124000
2000
(Tawanan)
02:21
There's a saying that whatever true thing you can say about India,
48
126000
3000
May kasabihan na anumang totoong bagay ang sabihin mo tungkol sa India,
02:24
the opposite is also true.
49
129000
2000
ang kabaligtaran nito ay totoo rin.
02:26
So, let's never forget, whether at TED, or anywhere else,
50
131000
2000
Kaya, huwag nating kalimutan, sa TED man o kahit saan pa,
02:28
that whatever brilliant ideas you have or hear,
51
133000
3000
na anumang magandang ideyang naisip o narinig mo,
02:31
that the opposite may also be true.
52
136000
2000
ang kabaligtaran nito ay maaring tama rin.
02:33
Domo arigato gozaimashita.
53
138000
2000
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."
