Hi, my name is Frank,
0
0
2000
Zdravo, moje ime je Frank
00:17
and I collect secrets.
1
2000
2000
i skupljam tajne.
00:19
It all started with a crazy idea
2
4000
2000
Sve je počelo kao luda ideja
00:21
in November of 2004.
3
6000
3000
u studenom 2004.
00:24
I printed up 3,000 self-addressed postcards,
4
9000
3000
Isprintao sam 3.000 razglednica s vlastitom adresom,
00:27
just like this.
5
12000
2000
poput ove.
00:29
They were blank on one side,
6
14000
2000
Bile su prazne na jednoj strani,
00:31
and on the other side
7
16000
2000
a na drugoj sam strani
00:33
I listed some simple instructions.
8
18000
2000
naveo neke jednostavne upute.
00:35
I asked people to anonymously share an artful secret
9
20000
3000
Zamolio sam ljude da anonimno podijele skrivenu tajnu
00:38
they'd never told anyone before.
10
23000
3000
koju još nikome do sada nisu rekli.
00:41
And I handed out these postcards randomly
11
26000
2000
Dijelio sam ove razglednice nasumično
00:43
on the streets of Washington, D.C.,
12
28000
2000
na ulicama Washingtona,
00:45
not knowing what to expect.
13
30000
2000
ne znajući što mogu očekivati.
00:47
But soon the idea began spreading virally.
14
32000
3000
No, ubrzo se ideja počela brzinski širiti.
00:50
People began to buy their own postcards
15
35000
3000
Ljudi su počeli kupovati razglednice
00:53
and make their own postcards.
16
38000
2000
i sami ih izrađivati.
00:55
I started receiving secrets in my home mailbox,
17
40000
3000
Počeo sam dobivati tajne u poštanski sandučić,
00:58
not just with postmarks from Washington, D.C.,
18
43000
3000
ne samo s markicama iz Washingtona
01:01
but from Texas, California,
19
46000
2000
već i iz Teksasa, Kalifornije,
01:03
Vancouver, New Zealand, Iraq.
20
48000
3000
Vancouvera, Novog Zelanda, Iraka.
01:06
Soon my crazy idea didn't seem so crazy.
21
51000
4000
Ubzo se moja luda ideja nije činila tako ludom.
01:10
PostSecret.com
22
55000
2000
PostSecret.com
01:12
is the most visited advertisement-free blog in the world.
23
57000
4000
najposjećeniji je blog na svijetu koji ne sadrži reklame,
01:16
And this is my postcard collection today.
24
61000
3000
a ovo je moja kolekcija razglednica danas.
01:21
You can see my wife
25
66000
2000
Možete vidjeti kako se moja žena
01:23
struggling to stack a brick of postcards
26
68000
2000
muči ne bi li složila blok razglednica
01:25
on a pyramid of over a half-million secrets.
27
70000
4000
navrh piramide s više od pola milijuna tajni.
01:29
What I'd like to do now
28
74000
2000
Ono što bih sada volio učiniti
01:31
is share with you a very special handful of secrets
29
76000
3000
je podijeliti s vama veoma poseban pregršt tajni
01:34
from that collection,
30
79000
2000
iz te kolekcije,
01:36
starting with this one.
31
81000
3000
počevši s ovom.
01:40
"I found these stamps as a child,
32
85000
3000
„Pronašao sam ove markice kao dijete
01:43
and I have been waiting all my life
33
88000
2000
i čekao sam cijeli svoj život
01:45
to have someone to send them to.
34
90000
3000
da ih nekome pošaljem.
01:48
I never did have someone."
35
93000
2000
Nikada ih nisam imao kome poslati.“
01:50
Secrets can take many forms.
36
95000
2000
Tajne mogu poprimiti razne oblike.
01:52
They can be shocking
37
97000
2000
Mogu biti šokantne,
01:54
or silly or soulful.
38
99000
3000
lude ili dubokih emocija.
01:57
They can connect us to our deepest humanity
39
102000
3000
Mogu nas povezati s našom najdubljom ljudskošću
02:00
or with people we'll never meet.
40
105000
3000
ili s ljudima koje nikad nećemo sresti.
02:06
(Laughter)
41
111000
8000
(Smijeh)
02:14
Maybe one of you sent this one in.
42
119000
2000
Možda je netko od vas poslao ovu.
02:16
I don't know.
43
121000
2000
Ne znam.
02:18
This one does a great job of demonstrating
44
123000
2000
Ova nam daje odličan prikaz
02:20
the creativity that people have
45
125000
2000
kreativnosti koju ljudi posjeduju
02:22
when they make and mail me a postcard.
46
127000
2000
kada mi izrađuju i šalju razglednice.
02:24
This one obviously was made out of half a Starbucks cup
47
129000
3000
Ova je očito napravljena od polovice Starbucksove šalice
02:27
with a stamp and my home address written on the other side.
48
132000
4000
s markicom i mojom adresom napisanom na drugoj strani.
02:33
"Dear Birthmother, I have great parents.
49
138000
3000
„Draga biološka majko, imam odlične roditelje.
02:36
I've found love. I'm happy."
50
141000
3000
Pronašla sam ljubav. Sretna sam.“
02:41
Secrets can remind us of the countless human dramas,
51
146000
3000
Tajne nas mogu podsjetiti na nebrojene ljudske drame,
02:44
of frailty and heroism,
52
149000
3000
na slabost i junaštvo
02:47
playing out silently
53
152000
2000
koje postoji neznatno
02:49
in the lives of people all around us
54
154000
2000
u životima ljudi svuda oko nas
02:51
even now.
55
156000
3000
čak i sada.
02:55
"Everyone who knew me before 9/11
56
160000
4000
„Svi koji su me poznavali prije 11. rujna 2001.
02:59
believes I'm dead."
57
164000
3000
sada misle da sam mrtav.“
03:08
"I used to work with a bunch of uptight religious people,
58
173000
3000
„Radila sam s hrpom napetih religioznih ljudi
03:11
so sometimes I didn't wear panties,
59
176000
2000
pa ponekad nisam nosila gaćice
03:13
and just had a big smile and chuckled to myself."
60
178000
3000
i jednostavno sam imala veliki osmijeh i cerekala sam se samoj sebi.“
03:16
(Laughter)
61
181000
5000
(Smijeh)
03:24
This next one takes a little explanation before I share it with you.
62
189000
3000
Sljedeća zahtijeva malo objašnjenje prije no što je podijelim s vama.
03:27
I love to speak on college campuses
63
192000
3000
Volim držati govore na kampusima fakulteta
03:30
and share secrets and the stories with students.
64
195000
2000
i dijeliti tajne i priče sa studentima,
03:32
And sometimes afterwards I'll stick around
65
197000
3000
a ponekad se nakon toga zadržim,
03:35
and sign books and take photos with students.
66
200000
3000
potpisujem knjige i slikam se sa studentima.
03:38
And this next postcard was made
67
203000
2000
Sljedeća razglednica napravljena je
03:40
out of one of those photos.
68
205000
2000
od jedne od tih fotografija.
03:42
And I should also mention that, just like today,
69
207000
2000
Također bih morao spomenuti da sam, kao i danas,
03:44
at that PostSecret event,
70
209000
2000
na tom PostSecret događaju
03:46
I was using a wireless microphone.
71
211000
3000
koristio bežični mikrofon.
03:51
"Your mic wasn't off during sound check.
72
216000
2000
„Tvoj mikrofon nije bio isključen tijekom tonske probe.
03:53
We all heard you pee."
73
218000
2000
Svi smo čuli kako piškiš.“
03:55
(Laughter)
74
220000
9000
(Smijeh)
04:04
This was really embarrassing when it happened,
75
229000
2000
Ovo je bilo prilično neugodno kad se dogodilo,
04:06
until I realized it could have been worse.
76
231000
5000
dok nisam shvatio da je moglo biti i gore.
04:11
Right. You know what I'm saying.
77
236000
3000
Da. Znate o čemu pričam.
04:14
(Laughter)
78
239000
3000
(Smijeh)
04:17
"Inside this envelope
79
242000
2000
„Unutar su ove omotnice
04:19
is the ripped up remains
80
244000
2000
poderani ostaci
04:21
of a suicide note I didn't use.
81
246000
2000
oproštajnog pisma prije samoubojstva koje nisam učinio.
04:23
I feel like the happiest person on Earth (now.)"
82
248000
4000
Osjećam se kao najsretnija osoba na Zemlji (trenutno).“
04:31
"One of these men is the father of my son.
83
256000
3000
„Jedan od ovih ljudi je otac mog sina.
04:34
He pays me a lot to keep it a secret."
84
259000
3000
Mnogo mi plaća da to držim u tajnosti.“
04:37
(Laughter)
85
262000
8000
(Smijeh)
04:47
"That Saturday when you wondered where I was,
86
272000
3000
„Te subote kada si se pitala gdje sam,
04:50
well, I was getting your ring.
87
275000
2000
pa eto, išao sam ti po prsten.
04:52
It's in my pocket right now."
88
277000
2000
Sada je u mom džepu.“
04:54
I had this postcard posted on the PostSecret blog
89
279000
3000
Objavio sam ovu razglednicu na PostSecret blogu
04:57
two years ago on Valentine's Day.
90
282000
2000
prije dvije godine na Valentinovo.
04:59
It was the very bottom, the last secret in the long column.
91
284000
3000
Bila je na samom kraju, posljednja tajna u dugom stupcu.
05:02
And it hadn't been up for more than a couple hours
92
287000
3000
I nije bila gore više od nekoliko sati
05:05
before I received this exuberant email
93
290000
2000
kad sam primio ovaj opsežan mail
05:07
from the guy who mailed me this postcard.
94
292000
2000
od čovjeka koji mi je poslao ovu razglednicu.
05:09
And he said, "Frank, I've got to share with you
95
294000
3000
A on je rekao, „Frank, moram s tobom podijeliti
05:12
this story that just played out in my life."
96
297000
2000
ovu priču koja se upravo dogodila u mom životu.“
05:14
He said, "My knees are still shaking."
97
299000
3000
Rekao je, „Koljena mi se još uvijek tresu.“
05:17
He said, "For three years, my girlfriend and I,
98
302000
3000
Rekao je, „Već tri godine moja djevojka i ja
05:20
we've made it this Sunday morning ritual
99
305000
2000
imamo ritual da svake nedjelje ujutro
05:22
to visit the PostSecret blog together
100
307000
2000
posjetimo PostSecret blog zajedno
05:24
and read the secrets out loud.
101
309000
2000
i čitamo tajne naglas.
05:26
I read some to her, she reads some to me."
102
311000
3000
Ja njoj čitam neke, ona meni čita neke.“
05:29
He says, "It's really brought us closer together
103
314000
2000
Kaže, „To nas je zaista zbližilo
05:31
through the years.
104
316000
2000
tijekom godina.“
05:33
And so when I discovered
105
318000
2000
Kad sam otkrio
05:35
that you had posted
106
320000
2000
da si objavio
05:37
my surprise proposal to my girlfriend at the very bottom,
107
322000
2000
moju iznenadnu prosidbu djevojci na samom dnu,
05:39
I was beside myself.
108
324000
2000
bio sam van sebe.
05:41
And I tried to act calm, not to give anything away.
109
326000
2000
Pokušao sam se ponašati normalno, kako se ne bih odao,
05:43
And just like every Sunday,
110
328000
2000
no baš kao i svake nedjelje,
05:45
we started reading the secrets out loud to each other."
111
330000
4000
počeli smo čitati tajne naglas jedno drugome.“
05:49
He said, "But this time it seemed like it was taking her forever
112
334000
3000
Kaže, „No, ovog se puta činilo kao da joj cijela vječnost treba
05:52
to get through each one."
113
337000
2000
da prođe kroz svaku tajnu.“
05:54
But she finally did.
114
339000
2000
No konačno je stigla.
05:56
She got to that bottom secret, his proposal to her.
115
341000
3000
Došla je do tajne na dnu, njegove prosidbe.
05:59
And he said, "She read it once and then she read it again."
116
344000
5000
Kaže on, „Pročitala ju je jednom, a onda ju je pročitala još jednom.“
06:04
And she turned to him and said,
117
349000
2000
Okrenula se prema njemu i rekla,
06:06
"Is that our cat?"
118
351000
2000
„Je li to naša mačka?“
06:08
(Laughter)
119
353000
8000
(Smijeh)
06:16
And when she saw him,
120
361000
2000
A kad ga je ugledala,
06:18
he was down on one knee, he had the ring out.
121
363000
2000
klečao je i izvadio prsten.
06:20
He popped the question, she said yes. It was a very happy ending.
122
365000
3000
Izrekao je pitanje, a ona je pristala. Bio je to veoma sretan završetak.
06:23
So I emailed him back
123
368000
2000
Odgovorio sam mu na mail
06:25
and I said, "Please share with me an image, something,
124
370000
2000
i rekao, „Molim te, podijeli sa mnom sliku ili nešto
06:27
that I can share with the whole PostSecret community
125
372000
3000
što mogu podijeliti s cijelom PostSecret zajednicom
06:30
and let everyone know your fairy tale ending."
126
375000
3000
i dati svima do znanja kako je završila vaša bajka.“
06:33
And he emailed me this picture.
127
378000
2000
Poslao mi je ovu sliku.
06:35
(Laughter)
128
380000
4000
(Smijeh)
06:40
"I found your camera at Lollapalooza this summer.
129
385000
3000
„Pronašla sam tvoj fotoaparat na Lollapaloozi ovo ljeto.
06:43
I finally got the pictures developed
130
388000
3000
Konačno sam razvila slike
06:46
and I'd love to give them to you."
131
391000
4000
i voljela bih ti ih dati.“
06:50
This picture never got returned back
132
395000
2000
Ova se slika nikad nije vratila
06:52
to the people who lost it,
133
397000
3000
ljudima koji su ju izgubili,
06:55
but this secret has impacted many lives,
134
400000
3000
no ova je tajna utjecala na mnoge živote,
06:58
starting with a student up in Canada
135
403000
2000
počevši sa studentom u Kanadi
07:00
named Matty.
136
405000
2000
po imenu Matty.
07:02
Matty was inspired by that secret
137
407000
2000
Matty je bio nadahnut tom tajnom
07:04
to start his own website,
138
409000
2000
te je napravio vlastitu internet stranicu
07:06
a website called IFoundYourCamera.
139
411000
3000
pod imenom IFoundYourCamera (*PronašaoSamTvojFotoaparat).
07:09
Matty invites people
140
414000
2000
Matty poziva ljude
07:11
to mail him digital cameras that they've found,
141
416000
3000
da mu pošalju digitalne fotoaparate koje pronađu,
07:14
memory sticks that have been lost
142
419000
2000
memory stickove koji su izgubljeni
07:16
with orphan photos.
143
421000
2000
sa sirotim slikama.
07:18
And Matty takes the pictures off these cameras
144
423000
2000
Matty skida slike s tih fotoaparata
07:20
and posts them on his website every week.
145
425000
3000
i objavljuje ih svaki tjedan na svojoj stranici,
07:23
And people come to visit
146
428000
2000
a ljudi dolaze vidjeti
07:25
to see if they can identify a picture they've lost
147
430000
3000
mogu li naći sliku koju su izgubili
07:28
or help somebody else get the photos back to them
148
433000
3000
ili pomoći nekome drugome da dobije natrag slike
07:31
that they might be desperately searching for.
149
436000
4000
koje možda očajnički traži.
07:35
This one's my favorite.
150
440000
2000
Ovo mi je najdraža.
07:37
(Laughter)

07:40
Matty has found this ingenious way
152
445000
4000
Matty je pronašao ovaj genijalan način
07:44
to leverage the kindness of strangers.
153
449000
3000
da utječe na ljubaznost stranaca
07:47
And it might seem like a simple idea, and it is,
154
452000
3000
no, to se može činiti kao jednostavna ideja, što i je,
07:50
but the impact it can have on people's lives can be huge.
155
455000
3000
ali utjecaj koji može imati na ljudske živote može biti ogroman.
07:53
Matty shared with me
156
458000
2000
Matty je sa mnom podijelio
07:55
an emotional email he received
157
460000
2000
emotivni mail koji je primio
07:57
from the mother in that picture.
158
462000
4000
od majke na toj slici.
08:01
"That's me, my husband and son.
159
466000
3000
„Ovo smo ja, moj muž i sin.
08:04
The other pictures are of my very ill grandmother.
160
469000
4000
Ostale slike su slike moje veoma bolesne bake.
08:08
Thank you for making your site.
161
473000
2000
Hvala što si napravio ovu stranicu.
08:10
These pictures mean more to me than you know.
162
475000
3000
Ove mi slike znače više no što možeš zamisliti.
08:13
My son's birth is on this camera.
163
478000
2000
Rođenje mog sina na ovom je fotoaparatu.
08:15
He turns four tomorrow."
164
480000
3000
Sutra će napuniti četiri godine.“
08:19
Every picture that you see there
165
484000
2000
Svaka slika koju tamo vidite
08:21
and thousands of others
166
486000
2000
i tisuće ostalih
08:23
have been returned back to the person who lost it --
167
488000
2000
bile su vraćene natrag osobi koja ih je izgubila --
08:25
sometimes crossing oceans,
168
490000
2000
ponekad preko oceana,
08:27
sometimes going through language barriers.
169
492000
3000
ponekad prelazeći jezične granice.
08:32
This is the last postcard I have to share with you today.
170
497000
3000
Ovo je posljednja razglednica koju moram podijeliti s vama.
08:35
"When people I love
171
500000
3000
„Kada ljudi koje volim
08:38
leave voicemails on my phone
172
503000
2000
ostavljaju glasovne poruke na mom telefonu,
08:40
I always save them in case they die tomorrow
173
505000
3000
uvijek ih sačuvam u slučaju da sutra umru
08:43
and I have no other way
174
508000
2000
i nemam drugi način
08:45
of hearing their voice ever again."
175
510000
3000
na koji bih više ikada ponovno mogao čuti njihov glas.“
08:49
When I posted this secret,
176
514000
2000
Kada sam objavio ovu tajnu,
08:51
dozens of people
177
516000
2000
deseci ljudi
08:53
sent voicemail messages from their phones,
178
518000
2000
poslali su glasovne poruke sa svojih telefona,
08:55
sometimes ones they'd been keeping for years,
179
520000
3000
ponekad neke koje su čuvali godinama,
08:58
messages from family or friends
180
523000
3000
poruke od obitelji ili prijatelja
09:01
who had died.
181
526000
3000
koji su umrli.
09:04
They said that by preserving those voices
182
529000
2000
Kažu da im čuvanje tih glasova
09:06
and sharing them,
183
531000
2000
i dijeljenje istih
09:08
it helped them keep the spirit of their loved ones alive.
184
533000
5000
pomaže u očuvanju duha njihovih voljenih živim.
09:13
One young girl
185
538000
2000
Jedna je mlada djevojka
09:15
posted the last message
186
540000
2000
objavila posljednju poruku
09:17
she ever heard from her grandmother.
187
542000
3000
koju je ikada čula od svoje bake.
09:21
Secrets can take many forms.
188
546000
3000
Tajne mogu poprimiti razne oblike.
09:24
They can be shocking or silly
189
549000
3000
Mogu biti šokantne,
09:27
or soulful.
190
552000
2000
lude ili dubokih emocija.
09:29
They can connect us with our deepest humanity
191
554000
2000
Mogu nas povezati s našom najdubljom ljudskošću
09:31
or with people we'll never meet again.
192
556000
5000
ili s ljudima koje više nikad nećemo sresti.
09:36
Voicemail recording: First saved voice message.
193
561000
3000
Zapis govorne pošte: Prva sačuvana glasovna poruka.
09:40
Grandma: ♫ It's somebody's birthday today ♫

10:00
You're 21 years old today.
200
585000
3000
Danas imaš 21 godinu.
10:03
Have a real happy birthday, and I love you.
201
588000
3000
Neka ti je zaista sretan rođendan i volim te.
10:06
I'll say bye for now.
202
591000
2000
Za sada te pozdravljam.
10:08
FW: Thank you.
203
593000
2000
FW: Hvala vam.

June Cohen: Frank, that was beautiful,
207
614000
2000
June Cohen: Frank, ovo je bilo divno,
10:31
so touching.
208
616000
2000
toliko dirljivo.
10:33
Have you ever sent yourself a postcard?
209
618000
2000
Jesi li ikad sam sebi poslao razglednicu?
10:35
Have you ever sent in a secret to PostSecret?
210
620000
2000
Jesi li ikada poslao tajnu na PostSecret?
10:37
FW: I have one of my own secrets in every book.
211
622000
3000
FW: Imam jednu od svojih tajni u svakoj knjizi.
10:40
I think in some ways, the reason I started the project,
212
625000
3000
Na neki način mislim kako je razlog što sam započeo ovaj projekt,
10:43
even though I didn't know it at the time,
213
628000
2000
iako to nisam znao u to doba,
10:45
was because I was struggling with my own secrets.
214
630000
3000
bilo to što sam se borio s vlastitim tajnama.
10:48
And it was through crowd-sourcing,
215
633000
2000
I masa mi je pokazala,
10:50
it was through the kindness that strangers were showing me,
216
635000
3000
ljubaznost stranaca mi je pokazala
10:53
that I could uncover
217
638000
2000
da mogu otkriti
10:55
parts of my past that were haunting me.
218
640000
3000
dijelove svoje prošlosti koja me progonila.
10:58
JC: And has anyone ever discovered
219
643000
2000
JC: Je li itko ikada otkrio
11:00
which secret was yours in the book?
220
645000
2000
koja je to vaša tajna u knjizi?
11:02
Has anyone in your life been able to tell?
221
647000
2000
Je li to itko ikada uspio otkriti?
11:04
FW: Sometimes I share that information, yeah.
222
649000
2000
FW: Ponekad podijelim tu informaciju, da.
