When I was 14 years old,

S 14 godina
00:24
I had low self-esteem.
1
12015
2633
imao sam malo samopouzdanja.
00:26
I felt I was not talented at anything.
2
14648
4452
Mislio sam da nemam nikakvih talenata.
00:31
One day, I bought a yo-yo.
3

Jednog dana kupio sam yo-yo.
00:34
When I tried my first trick, it looked like this.
4
22871
3997
Kad sam pokušao izvesti prvi trik, izgledao je ovako.
00:45
I couldn't even do the simplest trick,
5
33390
2965
Nisam mogao izvesti ni najjednostavniji trik,
00:48
but it was very natural for me,
6
36355
2387
ali to je bilo normalno za mene
00:50
because I was not dextrous, and hated all sports.
7
38742
4545
zato što nisam bio vješt
s rukama i mrzio sam sve sportove.
s rukama i mrzio sam sve sportove.
00:55
But after one week of practicing,
8
43287
3035
Ali nakon tjedan dana vježbanja,
00:58
my throws became more like this.
9
46322
3236
moja bacanja počela su izgledati ovako.
01:06
A bit better.
10
54119
2780
Malo bolje.
01:08
I thought, the yo-yo is something for me to be good at,
11
56899
3716
Pomislio sam kako je yo-yo
nešto u čemu mogu biti dobar
nešto u čemu mogu biti dobar
01:12
for the first time in my life.
12
60615
2674
po prvi put u životu.
01:15
I found my passion.
13
63289
3154
Pronašao sam svoju strast.
01:18
I was spending all my time practicing.
14
66443
3406
Svo svoje vrijeme provodio sam vježbajući.
01:21
It took me hours and hours a day
15
69849
2181
Trebalo mi je po nekoliko sati dnevno
01:24
to build my skills up to the next level.
16
72030
2803
da dovedem svoje vještine do sljedeće razine.
01:26
And then, four years later, when I was 18 years old,
17
74833
4783
Ali, 4 godine kasnije, kad sam imao 18 godina,
01:31
I was standing onstage at the World Yo-Yo Contest.
18
79616
3733
stajao sam na pozornici World Yo-Yo Contesta.
01:35
And I won.
19
83349
1283
I pobijedio sam.
01:36
I was so excited. "Yes, I did it! I became a hero.
20
84632
3623
Bio sam jako uzbuđen.
"To, uspio sam! Postao sam junak.
"To, uspio sam! Postao sam junak.
01:40
I may get many sponsors, a lot of money,
21
88255
2789
Mogao bih imati mnogo sponzora, mnogo novca,
01:43
tons of interviews, and be on TV!" I thought. (Laughter)
22
91044
4556
brojne intervjue i biti na televiziji!",
pomislio sam. (Smijeh)
pomislio sam. (Smijeh)
01:47
But after coming back to Japan,
23
95600
3026
No, nakon što sam se vratio u Japan,
01:50
totally nothing changed in my life.
24
98626
4310
baš ništa se nije promijenilo u mom životu.
01:54
I realized society didn't value my passion.
25
102936
5051
Shvatio sam da društvo ne cijeni moju strast.
01:59
So I went back to my college
26
107987
2643
Vratio sam se na fakultet
02:02
and became a typical Japanese worker
27
110630
2048
i postao sustavski inženjer,
02:04
as a systems engineer.
28
112678
2456
tipičan japanski radnik.
02:07
I felt my passion, heart and soul, had left my body.
29
115134
6218
Osjećao sam se kao da su moja strast,
srce i duša, napustili moje tijelo.
srce i duša, napustili moje tijelo.
02:13
I felt I was not alive anymore.
30
121352
2854
Osjećao sam se kao da sam mrtav.
02:16
So I started to consider what I should do,
31
124206
3963
Počeo sam razmišljati što napraviti
02:20
and I thought, I wanted to make my performance better,
32
128169
4249
i pomislio kako želim poboljšati svoju izvedbu
02:24
and to show onstage how spectacular the yo-yo could be
33
132418
4637
te na pozornici pokazati
koliko spektakularan yo-yo može biti
koliko spektakularan yo-yo može biti
02:29
to change the public's image of the yo-yo.
34
137055
4106
da bih promijenio način na koji ga javnost vidi.
02:33
So I quit my company
35
141161
2713
Pa sam dao otkaz
02:35
and started a career as a professional performer.
36
143874
3902
i započeo karijeru profesionalnog izvođača.
02:39
I started to learn classic ballet, jazz dance,
37
147776
3278
Počeo sam učiti klasični balet, jazz dance,
02:43
acrobatics and other things
38
151054
1974
akrobatske vještine i druge stvari
02:45
to make my performance better.
39
153028
2492
kako bih poboljšao svoju izvedbu.
02:47
As a result of these efforts, and the help of many others,
40
155520
3176
Zahvaljujući tim naporima i uz pomoć mnogih drugih,
02:50
it happened.
41
158696
2260
dogodilo se.
02:52
I won the World Yo-Yo Contest again
42
160956
2147
Opet sam pobijedio na World Yo-Yo Contestu
02:55
in the artistic performance division.
43
163103
2194
u kategoriji umjetničkog nastupa.
02:57
I passed an audition for Cirque du Soleil.
44
165297
3296
Prošao sam audiciju za Cirque du Soleil.
03:00
Today, I am standing on the TED stage
45
168593
3544
Danas stojim pred vama
03:04
with the yo-yo in front of you.
46

na TED-ovoj pozornici s yo-yom.
03:07
(Applause)
47
175705
3838
(Pljesak)
03:11
What I learned from the yo-yo is,
48
179543
2859
Yo-yo me naučio da,
03:14
if I make enough effort with huge passion,
49
182402
5037
ako uz ogromnu strast uložite dovoljno napora,
03:19
there is no impossible.
50
187439
2299
ne postoji nemoguće.
03:21
Could you let me share my passion with you
51
189738
3104
Biste li mi dopustili da s vama podijelim svoju strast
03:24
through my performance?
52

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
BLACK - Yo-yo championTwice the world yo-yo champion, BLACK mixes dance, sport and performance to create unforgettable yo-yo moments.
Why you should listen
At 14, BLACK picked up his first yo-yo. Initially he couldn't do even the easiest trick -- but after one week of practicing, he realized: I could be good at this. Very good. Four years later (and 10,000 hours of practicing), he took the title of 2001 world champion. And then ... he gave it up. Went to school, got a job. But he missed the passion of performing. He realized: "I want to do this: Entertain, and bring excitement and joy to people with the yo-yo."
Returning to competition after six years, he won the 2007 World Yo-Yo Contest in the artistic performance category. After that, he started dance and acrobatic training to create a new form of performing and art. Imagine a yo-yo performance graceful and thrilling enough to pass the audition for Cirque du Soleil ... while being fast and precise enough to pull a tablecloth out from under a stack of champagne glasses!
