Terry Moore len nedávno zistil, že si celý svoj život viazal šnúrky nesprávnym spôsobom. V duchu TED sa s nami podelí o lepší spôsob. (Historická poznámka: Jednalo sa o vôbec prvé 3-minútové vystúpenie, z roku 2005)

I'm used to thinking of the TED audience as a wonderful collection

3000
Som zvyknutý myslieť si o TED publiku, ako o úžasnej zbierke
00:18
of some of the most effective, intelligent,
1
3000
2000
niektorých z najefektívnejších, najinteligentnejších,
00:20
intellectual, savvy,
2
5000
3000
najintelektuálnejších, najbystrejších,
00:23
worldly and innovative people in the world.
3
8000
2000
sveta znalých a najinovatívnejších ľudí na svete.
00:25
And I think that's true.
4
10000
2000
A myslím si, že to je pravda.
00:27
However, I also have reason to believe
5
12000
2000
Avšak, mám tiež dôvod si myslieť,
00:29
that many, if not most, of you
6
14000
2000
že veľa, ak nie väčšina z vás,
00:31
are actually tying your shoes incorrectly.
7
16000
2000
si viaže svoje topánky nesprávne.
00:33
(Laughter)
8
18000
2000
(Smiech)
00:35
Now I know that seems ludicrous.
9
20000
2000
Znie to možno smiešne.
00:37
I know that seems ludicrous.
10
22000
2000
A viem, že áno.
00:39
And believe me, I lived the same sad life
11
24000
2000
Ale verte mi, žil som rovnaký smutný život ako vy.
00:41
until about three years ago.
12
26000
2000
Pred troma rokmi
00:43
And what happened to me
13
28000
2000
sa stalo ale niečo,
00:45
was I bought, what was for me, a very expensive pair of shoes.
14
30000
3000
čo to zmenilo - kúpil som si, čo považujem za veľmi drahý, par topánok.
00:48
But those shoes came with round nylon laces,
15
33000
3000
Ale šnúrky boli guľaté a nylonové,
00:51
and I couldn't keep them tied.
16
36000
2000
a hlavne sa mi ich nepodarilo udržať zaviazané.
00:53
So I went back to the store and said to the owner,
17
38000
2000
Vrátil som sa preto do predajne a povedal majiteľovi:
00:55
"I love the shoes, but I hate the laces."
18
40000
2000
"Páčia sa mi tieto topánky, ale šnúrky nenávidím."
00:57
He took a look and said, "Oh, you're tying them wrong."
19
42000
3000
Pozrel sa na ne a povedal: "Aha, veď vy si ich viažete nesprávne."
01:00
Now up until that moment,
20
45000
2000
Až do tejto chvíle som si myslel,
01:02
I would have thought that, by age 50,
21
47000
3000
čo je asi do mojich 50 rokov,
01:05
one of the life skills that I had really nailed
22
50000
3000
že jedna zo 'životných zručností,' ktorú som skutočne zvládol,
01:08
was tying my shoes.
23
53000
2000
bolo viazanie si šnúrok na topánkach.
01:10
But not so -- let me demonstrate.
24
55000
3000
Ale opak bol pravdou - dovoľte mi demonštrovať prečo.
01:14
This is the way
25
59000
2000
Takto
01:16
that most of us were taught to tie our shoes.
26
61000
3000
bola väčšina z vás naučená viazať si šnúrky.
01:22
Now as it turns out -- thank you.
27
67000
3000
Ale ako sa ukazuje -- ďakujem.
01:25
Wait, there's more.
28
70000
2000
Počkajte, to nie je všetko.
01:27
As it turns out,
29
72000
3000
Ako sa ukázalo,
01:30
there's a strong form and a weak form of this knot,
30
75000
2000
existuje silná a slabá forma tohto uzlu,
01:32
and we were taught to tie the weak form.
31
77000
2000
a my sme učili tu slabú formu.
01:34
And here's how to tell.
32
79000
2000
A takto to rozoznáte.
01:36
If you pull the strands at the base of the knot,
33
81000
2000
Ak roztiahnete boky na spodku uzla,
01:38
you will see that the bow will orient itself
34
83000
3000
tak uvidíte, že sa mašľa otočí smerom dole,
01:41
down the long axis of the shoe.
35
86000
2000
pozdĺž osi topánky.
01:43
That's the weak form of the knot.
36
88000
2000
To je slabá forma uzlu.
01:45
But not to worry.
37
90000
2000
Nebojte sa.
01:47
If we start over
38
92000
2000
Pokiaľ začneme odznova
01:49
and simply go the other direction
39
94000
2000
a pokračujeme jednoducho druhým smerom
01:51
around the bow,
40
96000
2000
okolo mašle,
01:53
we get this, the strong form of the knot.
41
98000
3000
dopracujeme sa k silnej forme uzla.
01:56
And if you pull the cords under the knot,
42
101000
3000
A ak roztiahnete boky na spodku uzla,
01:59
you will see that the bow orients itself
43
104000
2000
tak uvidíte, že sa mašľa otočí sama
02:01
along the transverse axis of the shoe.
44
106000
3000
pozdĺž priečnej osi topánky.
02:04
This is a stronger knot. It will come untied less often.
45
109000
3000
To je silná forma uzla. Rozväzuje sa menej často.
02:07
It will let you down less,
46
112000
2000
Neuvoľní sa tak jednoducho.
02:09
and not only that, it looks better.
47
114000
3000
A nie len to, vyzerá to lepšie.
02:12
We're going to do this one more time.
48
117000
2000
Spravíme to teda ešte raz.
02:14
(Applause)
49
119000
3000
(Potlesk)
02:17
Start as usual,
50
122000
4000
Začneme normálne,
02:21
go the other way around the loop.
51
126000
2000
a pokračujeme opačným smerom okolo slučky.
02:23
This is a little hard for children,
52
128000
2000
Je to síce náročnejšie pre deti,
02:25
but I think you can handle it.
53
130000
2000
ale povedal by som, že vy to zvládnete.
02:29
Pull the knot.
54
134000
2000
Zatiahnete za uzol.
02:31
There it is: the strong form of the shoe knot.
55
136000
3000
A je to: silná forma uzlu.
02:34
Now, in keeping with today's theme,
56
139000
4000
A aby som pokračoval v duchu dnešnej témy,
02:38
I'd like to point out -- and something you already know --
57
143000
2000
chcel by som poukázať -- na niečo, čo už viete --
02:40
that sometimes a small advantage
58
145000
2000
a to, že niekedy i malá výhoda,
02:42
someplace in life
59
147000
2000
niekde v živote,
02:44
can yield tremendous results someplace else.
60
149000
3000
môže mať za následok ohromné dôsledky niekde inde.
02:48
Live long and prosper.
61
153000
2000
Žite dlho a úspešne.
02:50
(Applause)
62
155000
3000
