01:22

24
67000
2000

01:24
He saysütleb, "Of coursemuidugi they do. They go in the ordertellida in whichmis they were builtehitatud.
25
69000
3000
Ta vastab: "Muidugi on. Nad on järjestatud ehitamise järjekorras.
01:27
The first housemaja ever builtehitatud on a blockblokeerida is housemaja numbernumber one.
26
72000
3000
Esimene maja, mis sellesse kvartalisse ehitatakse, on maja number üks.

28
78000
2000
Kolmas on maja number kolm. Lihtne. See on ju ilmselge."
01:35
So, I love that sometimesmõnikord we need to
29
80000
3000
Mulle meeldib, et vahetevahel peame me
01:38
go to the oppositevastupidi sidekülg of the worldmaailm
30
83000
2000
minema teisele poole maakera,
01:40
to realizemõistma assumptionseeldused we didn't even know we had,
31
85000
2000
et saada aru oletustest, mille olemasolu me isegi ei teadnud,
01:42
and realizemõistma that the oppositevastupidi of them mayvõib alsoka be truetõsi.
32
87000
3000
ja mõista, et vastandid võivad samuti tõesed olla.
01:45
So, for examplenäide, there are doctorsarstid in ChinaHiina
33
90000
2000
Näiteks, Hiinas on arstid,
01:47
who believe that it's theiroma jobtöökoht to keep you healthytervislik.
34
92000
3000
kes usuvad, et nende töö on sind tervena hoida.
01:50
So, any monthkuus you are healthytervislik you paymaksma them,
35
95000
2000
Seega maksad sa neile iga kuu eest, mil sa oled olnud terve,
01:52
and when you're sickhaige you don't have to paymaksma them because they failedebaõnnestus
36
97000
2000
ja kui sa jääd haigeks, ei pea sa neile maksma, kuna nad ei saanud
01:54
at theiroma jobtöökoht. They get richrikas when you're healthytervislik, not sickhaige.
37
99000
2000
oma tööga hakkama. Nad saavad rikkaks siis, kui sa oled terve, mitte haige.
01:56
(ApplauseAplaus)
38

3000
(Aplaus)
01:59
In mostkõige rohkem musicmuusika, we think of the "one"
39
104000
2000
Muusikas mõtleme me enamasti, et "üks"
02:01
as the downbeatDownbeat, the beginningalgusest peale of the musicalmuusikaline phrasefraas: one, two, threekolm, fourneli.
40
106000
4000
on takti avalöök, muusikalise fraasi algus. Üks, kaks, kolm, neli.
02:05
But in WestWest AfricanAafrika musicmuusika, the "one"
41
110000
2000
Kuid Lääne-Aafrika muusikas on "üks"
02:07
is thought of as the endlõpp of the phrasefraas,
42
112000
2000
hoopis fraasi lõpp
02:09
like the periodperiood at the endlõpp of a sentencelause.
43
114000
2000
nagu paus lause lõpus.
02:11
So, you can hearkuule it not just in the phrasingkõnepruuk, but the way they countloota off theiroma musicmuusika:
44
116000
2000
Seega, seda kuuleb mitte ainult fraasides, vaid kogu nende muusikas.
02:13
two, threekolm, fourneli, one.
45
118000
3000
Kaks, kolm, neli, üks.
02:16
And this mapkaart is alsoka accuratetäpne.
46
121000
3000
Ja see kaart on ka täpne.
02:19
(LaughterNaer)
47
124000
2000
(Naer)
02:21
There's a sayingöeldes that whatevermida iganes truetõsi thing you can say about IndiaIndia,
48
126000
3000
On üks ütlus, et iga India kohta tõese väite puhul
02:24
the oppositevastupidi is alsoka truetõsi.
49
129000
2000
on ka selle vastand tõene.
02:26
So, let's never forgetunustage, whetherkas at TEDTED, or anywherekõikjal elsemuidu,
50
131000
2000
Niisiis, ärme kunagi unusta, nii TEDi konverentsil kui kõikjal mujal,
02:28
that whatevermida iganes brilliantsuurepärane ideasideid you have or hearkuule,
51
133000
3000
et mistahes geniaalse idee puhul, mis sul on või mida sa kuuled,
02:31
that the oppositevastupidi mayvõib alsoka be truetõsi.
52
136000
2000
selle vastand võib samuti tõene olla.
