My name is Joshua Walters.

3000
Nama saya Joshua Walters.
00:18
I'm a performer.
1
3000
3000
Saya seorang pemain sandiwara.
00:21
(Beatboxing)
2
6000
9000
(Melakukan beatbox)
00:30
(Laughter)
3
15000
3000
(Tertawa)
00:33
(Applause)
4
18000
2000
(Tepuk tangan)
00:37
But as far as being a performer,
5
22000
3000
Selain menjadi seorang pemain sandiwara,
00:40
I'm also diagnosed
6
25000
3000
saya juga didiagnosa
00:43
bipolar.
7
28000
2000
menderita bipolar.
00:50
I reframe that as a positive
8
35000
2000
Saya mengubah itu menjadi hal yang positif,
00:52
because the crazier I get onstage,
9
37000
2000
karena semakin gila saya di panggung,
00:54
the more entertaining I become.
10
39000
3000
saya menjadi semakin menghibur.
00:57
When I was 16 in San Francisco,
11
42000
2000
Saat saya berusia 16 tahun di San Fransisco,
00:59
I had my breakthrough manic episode
12
44000
2000
saya mengalami episode kegilaan tertinggi
01:01
in which I thought I was Jesus Christ.
13
46000
3000
di mana saya mengira saya adalah Yesus Kristus.
01:05
Maybe you thought that was scary,
14
50000
4000
Mungkin menurut Anda itu menakutkan,
01:09
but actually there's no amount of drugs you can take
15
54000
3000
tapi tidak ada cukup narkoba yang dapat membuat Anda
01:12
that can get you as high
16
57000
2000
mengalami halusinasi yang tinggi
01:14
as if you think you're Jesus Christ.
17
59000
2000
sehingga Anda merasa Anda adalah Yesus Kristus.
01:16
(Laughter)
18
61000
3000
(Tertawa)
01:20
I was sent to a place,
19
65000
3000
Saya dikirim ke suatu tempat,
01:23
a psych ward,
20
68000
2000
bangsal kejiwaan.
01:25
and in the psych ward,
21
70000
2000
dan di tempat itu
01:27
everyone is doing their own one-man show.
22
72000
4000
semua orang melakukan pertunjukan mereka sendiri.
01:31
(Laughter)
23
76000
5000
(Tertawa)
01:36
There's no audience like this
24
81000
2000
Tidak ada penonton seperti ini
01:38
to justify their rehearsal time.
25
83000
3000
untuk membenarkan waktu latihan mereka.
01:41
They're just practicing.
26
86000
2000
Mereka hanya berlatih.
01:43
One day they'll get here.
27
88000
3000
Satu hari mereka akan mencapainya.
01:47
Now when I got out,
28
92000
2000
Saat saya keluar,
01:49
I was diagnosed
29
94000
2000
saya didiagnosa
01:51
and I was given medications
30
96000
2000
dan saya diberi obat
01:53
by a psychiatrist.
31
98000
2000
oleh seorang psikiater.
01:55
"Okay, Josh, why don't we give you some --
32
100000
2000
"Josh, bagaimana kalau kami memberimu
01:57
why don't we give you some Zyprexa.
33
102000
3000
beberapa Zyprexa.
02:00
Okay? Mmhmm?
34
105000
3000
Oke?
02:05
At least that's what it says on my pen."
35
110000
2000
Setidaknya itu yang tertulis di penaku."
02:07
(Laughter)
36
112000
5000
(Tertawa)
02:12
Some of you are in the field, I can see.
37
117000
3000
Beberapa dari Anda bekerja di bidang ini.
02:15
I can feel your noise.
38
120000
2000
Saya mendengar suara-suara Anda.
02:19
The first half of high school
39
124000
3000
Bagian awal di SMA
02:22
was the struggle of the manic episode,
40
127000
3000
adalah perjuangan episode kegilaan,
02:25
and the second half
41
130000
2000
dan sisanya
02:27
was the overmedications of these drugs,
42
132000
3000
adalah penggunaan obat yang terlalu banyak,
02:30
where I was sleeping through high school.
43
135000
2000
sehingga saya sering tertidur di sekolah.
02:32
The second half was just one big nap, pretty much, in class.
44
137000
4000
Bagian kedua adalah tidur siang, kira-kira begitu.
02:37
When I got out
45
142000
2000
Saat saya lulus
02:39
I had a choice.
46
144000
2000
saya punya pilihan.
02:41
I could either deny
47
146000
3000
Saya bisa menyangkal
02:44
my mental illness
48
149000
2000
sakit jiwa saya.
02:46
or embrace
49
151000
4000
atau merangkul
02:50
my mental skillness.
50
155000
2000
kemampuan mental saya.
02:52
(Bugle sound)
51
157000
2000
(Suara terompet)
02:56
There's a movement going on right now
52
161000
2000
Ada pergerakan sekarang ini
02:58
to reframe mental illness as a positive --
53
163000
3000
untuk memandang sakit jiwa positif
03:01
at least the hypomanic edge part of it.
54
166000
3000
setidaknya bagian hypomania.
03:04
Now if you don't know what hypomania is,
55
169000
3000
Bila Anda tidak tahu hypomania,
03:07
it's like an engine that's out of control,
56
172000
2000
itu seperti mesin di luar kendali,
03:09
maybe a Ferrari engine, with no breaks.
57
174000
3000
seperti mesin Ferrari tanpa rem.
03:12
Many of the speakers here, many of you in the audience,
58
177000
3000
Banyak pembicara di sini, banyak dari Anda para penonton,
03:15
have that creative edge,
59
180000
2000
memiliki kreativitas itu,
03:17
if you know what I'm talking about.
60
182000
2000
kalau Anda mengerti maksud saya.
03:19
You're driven to do something
61
184000
2000
Anda termotivasi untuk melakukan sesuatu
03:21
that everyone has told you is impossible.
62
186000
2000
yang menurut orang lain tidak mungkin dilakukan.
03:23
And there's a book -- John Gartner.
63
188000
2000
Ada buku - John Gartner.
03:25
John Gartner wrote this book called "The Hypomanic Edge"
64
190000
3000
John Gartner menulis buku "The Hypomanic Edge"
03:28
in which Christopher Columbus and Ted Turner and Steve Jobs
65
193000
3000
di mana Christopher Columbus dan Ted Turner dan Steve Jobs
03:31
and all these business minds
66
196000
2000
dan pemikir bisnis ini
03:33
have this edge to compete.
67
198000
2000
memiliki batas kegilaan ini untuk bersaing.
03:35
A different book was written not too long ago
68
200000
2000
Buku lainnya baru saja ditulis
03:37
in the mid-90s
69
202000
2000
di pertengahan 90-an
03:39
called "Touched With Fire" by Kay Redfield Jamison
70
204000
3000
disebut "Touched With Fire" oleh Kay Redfield Jamison
03:42
in which it was looked at in a creative sense
71
207000
3000
di mana ia melihat kreativitas
03:45
in which Mozart and Beethoven and Van Gogh
72
210000
3000
Mozart, Beethoven dan Van Gogh
03:48
all have this manic depression that they were suffering with.
73
213000
3000
yang memiliki manik depresif.
03:51
Some of them committed suicide.
74
216000
2000
Beberapa bunuh diri.
03:53
So it wasn't all
75
218000
2000
Jadi tidak semua
03:55
the good side of the illness.
76
220000
3000
akibatnya adalah positif.
03:58
Now recently,
77
223000
3000
Akhir-akhir ini
04:01
there's been development in this field.
78
226000
3000
ada perkembangan dalam bidang ini
04:04
And there was an article written in the New York Times,
79
229000
3000
ada artikel di New York Times,
04:07
September 2010,
80
232000
2000
bulan September 2010,
04:09
that stated:
81
234000
3000
yang menyatakan:
04:12
"Just Manic Enough."
82
237000
2000
"Just Manic Enough."
04:14
Just be manic enough
83
239000
2000
Jadilah gila secukupnya
04:16
in which investors who are looking for entrepreneurs
84
241000
3000
sehingga investor yang mencari pengusaha
04:19
that have this kind of spectrum --
85
244000
3000
memiliki spektrum ini --
04:22
you know what I'm talking about --
86
247000
2000
Anda tahu maksud saya --
04:24
not maybe full bipolar,
87
249000
3000
mungkin tidak sepenuhnya bipolar,
04:27
but they're in the bipolar spectrum --
88
252000
4000
namun mereka berada di spektrum bipolar,
04:31
where on one side,
89
256000
2000
di mana satu sisi,
04:33
maybe you think you're Jesus,
90
258000
4000
Anda pikir Anda adalah Yesus,
04:37
and on the other side
91
262000
3000
dan pada sisi lainnya
04:40
maybe they just make you a lot of money.
92
265000
2000
Anda mendapatkan banyak uang.
04:42
(Laughter)
93
267000
3000
(Tertawa)
04:45
Your call. Your call.
94
270000
3000
Itu panggilan Anda.
04:48
And everyone's somewhere in the middle.
95
273000
2000
Semua orang yang di tengah-tengah.
04:50
Everyone's somewhere in the middle.
96
275000
3000
Semuanya yang di tengah-tengah.
04:53
So maybe, you know,
97
278000
3000
Mungkin saja,
04:56
there's no such thing
98
281000
2000
tidak ada
04:58
as crazy,
99
283000
2000
yang namanya gila.
05:00
and being diagnosed with a mental illness
100
285000
3000
dan didiagnosa dengan sakit mental
05:03
doesn't mean you're crazy.
101
288000
2000
tidak berarti gila.
05:05
But maybe it just means
102
290000
2000
Mungkin itu berarti
05:07
you're more sensitive
103
292000
2000
Anda lebih sensitif
05:09
to what most people can't see
104
294000
2000
terhadap hal yang yang tidak dilihat orang
05:11
or feel.
105
296000
2000
atau dirasa orang.
05:13
Maybe no one's really crazy.
106
298000
4000
Mungkin tidak ada yang gila.
05:17
Everyone is just a little bit mad.
107
302000
5000
Semuanya sedikit gila.
05:26
How much
108
311000
3000
Seberapa banyak
05:29
depends on where you fall in the spectrum.
109
314000
3000
tergantung pada kedudukan Anda di spektrum itu.
05:33
How much
110
318000
2000
Seberapa banyak
05:35
depends on how lucky you are.
111
320000
4000
tergantung pada keberuntungan Anda.
05:39
Thank you.
112
324000
2000
Terima kasih.
05:41
