When I was 14 years old,

Keď som mal 14 rokov,
00:24
I had low self-esteem.
1
12015
2633
nemal som o sebe dobrú mienku.
00:26
I felt I was not talented at anything.
2
14648
4452
Mal som pocit, že nie som v ničom dobrý.
00:31
One day, I bought a yo-yo.
3

Jedného dňa som si kúpil jojo.
00:34
When I tried my first trick, it looked like this.
4
22871
3997
Môj prvý trik vyzeral takto.
00:45
I couldn't even do the simplest trick,
5
33390
2965
Nevedel som urobiť ani ten
najjednoduchší trik,
najjednoduchší trik,
00:48
but it was very natural for me,
6
36355
2387
ale to bolo u mňa prirodzené,
00:50
because I was not dextrous, and hated all sports.
7
38742
4545
lebo som nebol zručný a
neznášal som všetky športy.
neznášal som všetky športy.
00:55
But after one week of practicing,
8
43287
3035
Ale po týždni tréningu
00:58
my throws became more like this.
9
46322
3236
boli moje hody skôr takéto.
01:06
A bit better.
10
54119
2780
Trochu lepšie.
01:08
I thought, the yo-yo is something for me to be good at,
11
56899
3716
Pomyslel som si, že jojo je niečo,
v čom by som mohol byť dobrý,
v čom by som mohol byť dobrý,
01:12
for the first time in my life.
12
60615
2674
po prvýkrát v živote.
01:15
I found my passion.
13
63289
3154
Našiel som svoju vášeň.
01:18
I was spending all my time practicing.
14
66443
3406
Všetok čas som trávil trénovaním.
01:21
It took me hours and hours a day
15
69849
2181
Trvalo mi hodiny a hodiny denne
01:24
to build my skills up to the next level.
16
72030
2803
kým som sa o trochu zlepšil.
01:26
And then, four years later, when I was 18 years old,
17
74833
4783
A potom, o štyri roky neskôr,
keď som mal 18,
keď som mal 18,
01:31
I was standing onstage at the World Yo-Yo Contest.
18
79616
3733
som stál na pódiu na Svetovej jojo-súťaži.
01:35
And I won.
19
83349
1283
A vyhral som.
01:36
I was so excited. "Yes, I did it! I became a hero.
20
84632
3623
Bol som nadšený. "Áno, dokázal som to!
Stal som sa hrdinom.
Stal som sa hrdinom.
01:40
I may get many sponsors, a lot of money,
21
88255
2789
Možno budem mať veľa sponzorov,
veľa peňazí,
veľa peňazí,
01:43
tons of interviews, and be on TV!" I thought. (Laughter)
22
91044
4556
tony rozhovorov a budem v TV!" myslel som si.
(smiech)
(smiech)
01:47
But after coming back to Japan,
23
95600
3026
Ale keď som sa vrátil do Japonska,
01:50
totally nothing changed in my life.
24
98626
4310
vôbec nič sa v mojom živote nezmenilo.
01:54
I realized society didn't value my passion.
25
102936
5051
Uvedomil som si, že spoločnosť neoceňuje
moju vášeň.
moju vášeň.
01:59
So I went back to my college
26
107987
2643
Tak som sa vrátil na vysokú
02:02
and became a typical Japanese worker
27
110630
2048
a stal som sa typickým
japonským zamestnancom,
japonským zamestnancom,
02:04
as a systems engineer.
28
112678
2456
systémovým inžinierom.
02:07
I felt my passion, heart and soul, had left my body.
29
115134
6218
Cítil som, že moja vášeň, srdce a duša
opustili moje telo.
opustili moje telo.
02:13
I felt I was not alive anymore.
30
121352
2854
Mal som pocit, že už nežijem.
02:16
So I started to consider what I should do,
31
124206
3963
Začal som uvažovať, čo by som mal robiť
02:20
and I thought, I wanted to make my performance better,
32
128169
4249
a napadlo mi, že chcem zlepšiť svoje vystúpenie
02:24
and to show onstage how spectacular the yo-yo could be
33
132418
4637
a na pódiu ukázať, aké veľkolepé môže byť jojo,
02:29
to change the public's image of the yo-yo.
34
137055
4106
aby som zmenil názor verejnosti na jojo.
02:33
So I quit my company
35
141161
2713
Odišiel som z práce
02:35
and started a career as a professional performer.
36
143874
3902
a začal som kariéru ako
profesionálny umelec.
profesionálny umelec.
02:39
I started to learn classic ballet, jazz dance,
37
147776
3278
Začal som sa učiť klasický balet, džezový tanec,
02:43
acrobatics and other things
38
151054
1974
akrobaciu a iné veci,
02:45
to make my performance better.
39
153028
2492
aby som zlepšil svoje vystúpenie.
02:47
As a result of these efforts, and the help of many others,
40
155520
3176
Výsledkom tejto snahy a s pomocou mnohých
02:50
it happened.
41
158696
2260
sa to udialo.
02:52
I won the World Yo-Yo Contest again

48
179543
2859
Jojo ma naučilo,
03:14
if I make enough effort with huge passion,
49
182402

s veľkou vášňou,

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!
