direla.
00:25
And I think that's true.

10000
2000
Eta hori egia dela uste dut.
Hala ere, badut arrazoi bat pentsatzeko
zuetako askok, edo gehienok,
zuetako askok, edo gehienok,
00:27
However, I also have reason to believe
5
12000
2000
00:29
that many, if not most, of you
6
14000
2000
00:31
are actually tying your shoes incorrectly.
7
16000
2000
zuen zapatak gaizki lotzen dituzuela.
00:33
(Laughter)
8

(Barreak)
00:35
Now I know that seems ludicrous.
9
20000
2000
Orain badakit barregarria dirudiela.
00:37
I know that seems ludicrous.
10
22000
2000
Badakit barregarria dirudiela.
00:39
And believe me, I lived the same sad life
11
24000
2000
Baina sinetsi iezaidazue, bizi triste bera
bizi izan nuen duela 3 urte arte.
bizi izan nuen duela 3 urte arte.
00:41
until about three years ago.
12
26000
2000
00:43
And what happened to me
13
28000
2000
Eta zera gertatu zitzaidan,
00:45
was I bought, what was for me, a very expensive pair of shoes.
14
30000
3000
niretzat oso garestiak ziren
zapata batzuk erosi nituen.
zapata batzuk erosi nituen.
00:48
But those shoes came with round nylon laces,
15
33000
3000
Zapata horiek nylonezko
lokarri borobilak zituzten,
lokarri borobilak zituzten,
00:51
and I couldn't keep them tied.
16
36000
2000
eta ezin nituen lotuta mantendu.
Beraz, dendara itzuli eta
dendariari esan nion,
dendariari esan nion,
00:53
So I went back to the store and said to the owner,
17
38000
2000
00:55
"I love the shoes, but I hate the laces."
18
40000
2000
"zapatak maite ditut,
baina lokarriak gorroto ditut."
baina lokarriak gorroto ditut."
00:57
He took a look and said, "Oh, you're tying them wrong."
19
42000
3000
Begirada bat bota, eta esan zidan,
"Oh, gaizki lotzen dituzu."
"Oh, gaizki lotzen dituzu."
01:00
Now up until that moment,
20
45000
2000
Une hartaraino,
01:02
I would have thought that, by age 50,
21
47000
3000
pentsatzen nuen, 50 urterekin,
01:05
one of the life skills that I had really nailed
22
50000
3000
benetan ondo egiten nuen
gauza bat baldin bazegoen,
gauza bat baldin bazegoen,
01:08
was tying my shoes.
23
53000
2000
lokarriak lotzea zela.
(Barreak)
01:10
But not so -- let me demonstrate.
24
55000
3000
Baina ez -- utzi erakusten.
01:14
This is the way
25
59000
2000
Hau da
01:16
that most of us were taught to tie our shoes.
26
61000
3000
gutariko gehienoi zapatak
lotzen irakatsi ziguten modua.
lotzen irakatsi ziguten modua.
01:22
Now as it turns out -- thank you.
27
67000
3000
Gauza da -- mila esker.
(Txaloak)
01:25
Wait, there's more.
28
70000
2000
Itxaron, gehiago esango dut.
01:27
As it turns out,
29
72000
3000
Gauza da --
(Barreak)
01:30
there's a strong form and a weak form of this knot,
30
75000
2000
Korapilo hau egiteko
modu ahula eta indartsua ditugu,
modu ahula eta indartsua ditugu,
01:32
and we were taught to tie the weak form.
31
77000
2000
eta modu ahula irakatsi ziguten.
01:34
And here's how to tell.
32
79000
2000
Eta hau da arrazoia.
01:36
If you pull the strands at the base of the knot,
33
81000
2000
korapiloaren oinarrian dauden
lokarriei tiratzen badiezu,
lokarriei tiratzen badiezu,
01:38
you will see that the bow will orient itself
34
83000
3000
begizta bere kaxa orientatuko da
01:41
down the long axis of the shoe.
35
86000
2000
zapataren alde luzera.
01:43
That's the weak form of the knot.
36
88000
2000
Hori korapiloa egiteko modu ahula da.
01:45
But not to worry.
37
90000
2000
Baina ez arduratu.
01:47
If we start over
38
92000
2000
Berriz hasten bagara
01:49
and simply go the other direction
39
94000
2000
eta begizta beste norabidean
inguratzen badugu,
inguratzen badugu,
01:51
around the bow,
40
96000
2000
01:53
we get this, the strong form of the knot.
41
98000
3000
hau lortuko dugu, korapiloaren
modu indartsua.
modu indartsua.
01:56
And if you pull the cords under the knot,
42
101000
3000
Eta korapiloaren azpiko
lokarriei tiratzean,
lokarriei tiratzean,
01:59
you will see that the bow orients itself
43
104000
2000
begizta bere kaxa orientatzen da
02:01
along the transverse axis of the shoe.
44
106000
3000
zapataren zeharkako ardatzera.
02:04
This is a stronger knot. It will come untied less often.
45
109000
3000
Hau korapilo sendoagoa da.
Gutxiagotan askatuko da.
02:07
It will let you down less,
46
112000
2000
Gutxiagotan makurtuko zara,
eta gainera politagoa da.
eta gainera politagoa da.
02:09
and not only that, it looks better.
47
114000
3000
02:12
We're going to do this one more time.
48
117000
2000
Beste behin egingo dugu.
02:14
(Applause)
49
119000
3000
(Txaloak)
02:17
Start as usual,
50
122000
4000
Beti bezala hasi --
(Txaloak)
02:21
go the other way around the loop.
51
126000
2000
begizta alderantzizko aldetik inguratu.
02:23
This is a little hard for children,
52
128000
2000
Hau haurrentzat zail xamarra da,
02:25
but I think you can handle it.
53
130000
2000
baina egin dezakezuela
uste dut.
uste dut.
02:29
Pull the knot.
54
134000
2000
Tira korapiloari.
02:31
There it is: the strong form of the shoe knot.
55
136000
3000
Hemen dago: korapiloa egiteko
modu indartsua.
modu indartsua.
02:34
Now, in keeping with today's theme,
56
139000
4000
Gaurko gaira bueltatuz,
02:38
I'd like to point out -- and something you already know --
57
143000
2000
azpimarratu nahiko nuke --
jada badakizuen zerbait--
jada badakizuen zerbait--
02:40
that sometimes a small advantage
58
145000
2000
batzuetan leku batean egindako
aurrerapen txikiek
aurrerapen txikiek
02:42
someplace in life
59
147000
2000
02:44
can yield tremendous results someplace else.
60
149000
3000
beste nonbait erantzun izugarriak
eman ditzakeela.
eman ditzakeela.
(Barreak)
02:48
Live long and prosper.
61
153000
2000
Bizitza luzea eta oparoa.
(Txaloak)
02:50
