Kako da vam ispričam u 10 minuta
00:18
about the bonds of women over three generations,
1
3000
3000
o vezama žena 3 različite generacije,
00:21
about how the astonishing strength of those bonds
2
6000
3000
i kako je neverovatna snaga tih veza
00:24
took hold in the life
3
9000
2000
obeležila život
00:26
of a four-year-old girl
4
11000
2000
četvorogodišnje devojčice
00:28
huddled with her young sister,
5
13000
2000
koja je u grčevitom zagrljaju sa svojom sestrom,
00:30
her mother and her grandmother
6
15000
2000
majkom i bakom
00:32
for five days and nights
7
17000
2000
provela pet dana i noći
00:34
in a small boat in the China Sea
8
19000
2000
u jednom brodiću usred Kineskog mora
00:36
more than 30 years ago,
9
21000
3000
pre više od 30 godina.
00:39
bonds that took hold in the life of that small girl
10
24000
2000
Veze koje su obeležile život te devojčice
00:41
and never let go --
11
26000
3000
nisu je nikada više napustile.
00:44
that small girl now living in San Francisco
12
29000
2000
Ta devojčica danas živi u San Francisku
00:46
and speaking to you today?
13
31000
3000
i priča vam ovu priču.
00:49
This is not a finished story.
14
34000
3000
Ova priča još uvek nema kraj.
00:52
It is a jigsaw puzzle still being put together.
15
37000
3000
Ona je kao još nedovršen mozaik.
00:55
Let me tell you about some of the pieces.
16
40000
4000
Volela bih da vam opišem neke delove mozaika.
00:59
Imagine the first piece:
17
44000
2000
Zamislite prvi deo:
01:01
a man burning his life's work.
18
46000
3000
čoveka koji spaljuje svoje životno delo.
01:04
He is a poet, a playwright,
19
49000
3000
On je pesnik i dramski pisac,
01:07
a man whose whole life
20
52000
2000
čovek čiji je ceo život bio
01:09
had been balanced on the single hope
21
54000
2000
zasnovan na želji za slobodom i
01:11
of his country's unity and freedom.
22
56000
3000
ujedinjenjem njegove domovine.
01:14
Imagine him as the communists enter Saigon,
23
59000
3000
Zamislite ga dok komunisti ulaze u Sajgon,
01:17
confronting the fact
24
62000
2000
suočenog sa činjenicom da je
01:19
that his life had been a complete waste.
25
64000
2000
ceo njegov životni trud bio uzaludan.
01:21
Words, for so long his friends, now mocked him.
26
66000
3000
Reči koje su mu tako dugo bile bliske, postadoše tuđe.
01:24
He retreated into silence.
27
69000
3000
Povukao se u tišinu.
01:27
He died broken by history.
28
72000
4000
Umro je slomljen istorijom.
01:31
He is my grandfather.
29
76000
2000
To je bio moj deda.
01:33
I never knew him in real life.
30
78000
4000
Nisam ga upoznala za života.
01:37
But our lives are much more than our memories.
31
82000
4000
Ali naši životi su mnogo više nego zbir sećanja.
01:41
My grandmother never let me forget his life.
32
86000
3000
Baka nije dozvolila da zaboravim njegov život.
01:44
My duty was not to allow it to have been in vain,
33
89000
3000
Dužnost mi je bila da ne prihvatim uzaludnost
01:47
and my lesson was to learn
34
92000
2000
i da naučim lekciju da
01:49
that, yes, history tried to crush us,
35
94000
3000
iako je istorija pokušala da nas slomi,
01:52
but we endured.
36
97000
2000
mi smo izdržali.
01:54
The next piece of the jigsaw
37
99000
2000
Drugi deo mozaika
01:56
is of a boat in the early dawn
38
101000
2000
je brodić koji u ranu zoru
01:58
slipping silently out to sea.
39
103000
3000
tiho klizi u more.
02:01
My mother, Mai, was 18
40
106000
2000
Moja majka, Mai, je imala 18 godina
02:03
when her father died --
41
108000
2000
kad joj je umro otac.
02:05
already in an arranged marriage,
42
110000
2000
Već je bila u ugovorenom braku,
02:07
already with two small girls.
43
112000
3000
i gajila dve male devojčice.
02:10
For her, life had distilled itself into one task:
44
115000
3000
Ceo njen život se sveo na jedan zadatak:
02:13
the escape of her family
45
118000
2000
izbeći sa ostatkom porodice
02:15
and a new life in Australia.
46
120000
3000
i početi novi život u Australiji.
02:18
It was inconceivable to her
47
123000
2000
Ona nije ni pojmila
02:20
that she would not succeed.
48
125000
2000
mogućnost neuspeha.
02:22
So after a four-year saga that defies fiction,
49
127000
3000
Posle četiri godine života nalik romanu,
02:25
a boat slipped out to sea
50
130000
2000
brodić je skliznuo u more
02:27
disguised as a fishing vessel.
51
132000
3000
kamufliran kao za ribolov.
02:30
All the adults knew the risks.
52
135000
3000
Svi odrasli su bili svesni rizika.
02:33
The greatest fear was of pirates,
53
138000
2000
Najveća opasnost su bili gusari,
02:35
rape and death.
54
140000
2000
silovanje i smrt.
02:37
Like most adults on the boat,
55
142000
2000
Kao i ostali odrasli na brodu
02:39
my mother carried a small bottle of poison.
56
144000
4000
moja majka je nosila bočicu otrova.
02:43
If we were captured, first my sister and I,
57
148000
3000
Da su nas zarobili, prvo bismo ga popile
02:46
then she and my grandmother would drink.
58
151000
4000
sestra i ja, a onda ona i moja baka.
02:50
My first memories are from the boat --
59
155000
2000
Moja prva sećanja su sa tog broda -
02:52
the steady beat of the engine,
60
157000
2000
postojan zvuk motora,
02:54
the bow dipping into each wave,
61
159000
3000
pramac koji zaronjava u svaki talas,
02:57
the vast and empty horizon.
62
162000
3000
ogroman i prazan horizont.
03:00
I don't remember the pirates who came many times,
63
165000
3000
Ne sećam se gusara koji su napali više puta,
03:03
but were bluffed by the bravado
64
168000
2000
i bili prevareni neustrašivošću
03:05
of the men on our boat,
65
170000
2000
ljudi sa našeg broda.
03:07
or the engine dying
66
172000
2000
Ne sećam se ni kad je motor zamro
03:09
and failing to start for six hours.
67
174000
3000
i nije se mogao šest sati pokrenuti.
03:12
But I do remember the lights on the oil rig
68
177000
2000
Ali se sećam svetlosti sa naftne platforme
03:14
off the Malaysian coast
69
179000
2000
pored obale Malezije
03:16
and the young man who collapsed and died,
70
181000
3000
i mladića koji se onesvestio i umro,
03:19
the journey's end too much for him,
71
184000
3000
za njega je kraj puta stigao prerano.
03:22
and the first apple I tasted,
72
187000
2000
Sećam se prve jabuke koju sam ikad okusila,
03:24
given to me by the men on the rig.
73
189000
3000
koju su mi darovali radnici na platformi.
03:27
No apple has ever tasted the same.
74
192000
3000
Nijedna jabuka posle nije imala isti ukus.
03:32
After three months in a refugee camp,
75
197000
2000
Posle tri meseca u izbegličkom kampu,
03:34
we landed in Melbourne.
76
199000
2000
stigli smo u Melburn.
03:36
And the next piece of the jigsaw
77
201000
2000
Sledeći deo mozaika je o
03:38
is about four women across three generations
78
203000
3000
četiri žene iz tri generacije koje zajedno
03:41
shaping a new life together.
79
206000
3000
zasnivaju novi život.
03:44
We settled in Footscray,
80
209000
2000
Smestili smo se u Futskraju,
03:46
a working-class suburb
81
211000
2000
radničkom predgrađu
03:48
whose demographic is layers of immigrants.
82
213000
3000
šarolikog imigrantskog stanovništva.
03:51
Unlike the settled middle-class suburbs,
83
216000
2000
Za razliku od sređenih četvrti srednje klase,
03:53
whose existence I was oblivious of,
84
218000
2000
za koje nisam ni znala da postoje,
03:55
there was no sense of entitlement in Footscray.
85
220000
3000
u Futskraju nije bilo povlašćenih.
03:58
The smells from shop doors were from the rest of the world.
86
223000
3000
Širili su se mirisi sa raznih strana sveta.
04:01
And the snippets of halting English
87
226000
2000
Ljudi su se sporazumevali nesigurnim
04:03
were exchanged between people
88
228000
2000
i isprekidanim engleskim jezikom
04:05
who had one thing in common,
89
230000
2000
i jedno im je bilo zajedničko:
04:07
they were starting again.
90
232000
3000
svi su počinjali ispočetka.
04:10
My mother worked on farms,
91
235000
2000
Moja majka je prvo radila na farmama,
04:12
then on a car assembly line,
92
237000
2000
a onda u jednom automobilskom pogonu,
04:14
working six days, double shifts.
93
239000
2000
duple smene šest dana nedeljno.
04:16
Somehow she found time to study English
94
241000
3000
Uspela je da nađe vreme da nauči engleski
04:19
and gain IT qualifications.
95
244000
2000
i savlada rad na kompjuteru.
04:21
We were poor.
96
246000
2000
Bili smo siromašni.
04:23
All the dollars were allocated
97
248000
2000
Novac je prebrojavan do poslednje pare,
04:25
and extra tuition in English and mathematics
98
250000
2000
ali nikada nije zafalio za dodatne časove
04:27
was budgeted for
99
252000
2000
engleskog i matematike, iako je to značilo
04:29
regardless of what missed out,
100
254000
3000
da nam je često ponešto nedostajalo,
04:32
which was usually new clothes;
101
257000
2000
najčešće nova odeća -
04:34
they were always secondhand.
102
259000
2000
uvek smo dobijale nešto već nošeno.
04:36
Two pairs of stockings for school,
103
261000
3000
Dva para čarapa za školu,
04:39
each to hide the holes in the other.
104
264000
2000
kako se ne bi videle rupe.
04:41
A school uniform down to the ankles,
105
266000
2000
Školska kecelja do članaka,
04:43
because it had to last for six years.
106
268000
4000
jer je morala da istraje šest godina.
04:47
And there were rare but searing chants
107
272000
2000
I čuli su se retki ali uvredljivi
04:49
of "slit-eye"
108
274000
2000
komentari o "žutaćima"
04:51
and the occasional graffiti:
109
276000
2000
i poneki grafit:
04:53
"Asian, go home."
110
278000
2000
„Azijati, vratite se kući.“
04:55
Go home to where?
111
280000
2000
Vratiti se... kojoj kući?
04:57
Something stiffened inside me.
112
282000
3000
Nešto se u meni ledilo,
05:00
There was a gathering of resolve
113
285000
2000
pojavilo se seme jedne odluke i
05:02
and a quiet voice saying, "I will bypass you."
114
287000
4000
tihi glas u meni je rekao: "I vas ću prevazići."
05:06
My mother, my sister and I
115
291000
2000
Mama, sestra i ja smo
05:08
slept in the same bed.
116
293000
3000
spavale u istom krevetu.
05:11
My mother was exhausted each night,
117
296000
2000
Mama je svako veče dolazila iscrpljena,
05:13
but we told one another about our day
118
298000
2000
ali uvek bismo pričale jedna drugoj kako
05:15
and listened to the movements
119
300000
2000
nam je prošao dan i slušale
05:17
of my grandmother around the house.
120
302000
2000
baku kako radi po kući.
05:19
My mother suffered from nightmares
121
304000
2000
Mama je imala noćne more
05:21
all about the boat.
122
306000
3000
uvek o onom putovanju brodom,
05:24
And my job was to stay awake until her nightmares came
123
309000
3000
i ja sam bila zadužena da bdim i
05:27
so I could wake her.
124
312000
3000
probudim je kad započnu.
05:30
She opened a computer store
125
315000
2000
Uspela je da otvori radnju za računare,
05:32
then studied to be a beautician
126
317000
2000
a posle se školovala za kozmetičarku
05:34
and opened another business.
127
319000
2000
i otvorila je još jednu firmu.
05:36
And the women came with their stories
128
321000
2000
Klijentkinje su joj pričale o svojim muževima
05:38
about men who could not make the transition,
129
323000
2000
koji nisu uspeli da se prilagode novom životu,
05:40
angry and inflexible,
130
325000
2000
i postali ogorčeni i nepopustljivi,
05:42
and troubled children caught between two worlds.
131
327000
3000
i o deci razapetoj između dva sveta.
05:45
Grants and sponsors were sought.
132
330000
3000
Tražili smo sponzore i zajmove.
05:48
Centers were established.
133
333000
2000
Osnivali centre za pomoć.
05:50
I lived in parallel worlds.
134
335000
2000
Živela sam u dva paralelna sveta.
05:52
In one, I was the classic Asian student,
135
337000
4000
U prvom sam bila tipična azijska studentkinja,
05:56
relentless in the demands that I made on myself.
136
341000
3000
koja je stalno od sebe zahtevala više.
05:59
In the other, I was enmeshed in lives that were precarious,
137
344000
3000
U drugom sam bila upletena u
06:02
tragically scarred by violence,
138
347000
2000
nesigurne živote obeležene
06:04
drug abuse and isolation.
139
349000
3000
nasiljem, drogom i izolacijom.
06:07
But so many over the years were helped.
140
352000
2000
Ali mnogima smo vremenom uspeli da pomognemo.
06:09
And for that work, when I was a final year law student,
141
354000
3000
Za taj trud sam, kao apsolventkinja prava
06:12
I was chosen as the young Australian of the year.
142
357000
3000
bila izabrana za mladu Australlijanku godine.
06:15
And I was catapulted
143
360000
2000
Nagrada je bila katapult
06:17
from one piece of the jigsaw to another,
144
362000
2000
ka sledećem deliću mozaika
06:19
and their edges didn't fit.
145
364000
2000
koji se nije baš dobro uklapao.
06:21
Tan Le, anonymous Footscray resident,
146
366000
2000
Anonimna Tan Li iz Futskraja je sada
06:23
was now Tan Le, refugee and social activist,
147
368000
4000
postala Tan Li, aktivistkinja za izbeglice,
06:27
invited to speak in venues she had never heard of
148
372000
3000
pozivana da govori na mestima za koje
06:30
and into homes whose existence
149
375000
2000
nikad nije čula i u kuće kakve
06:32
she could never have imagined.
150
377000
2000
nije ni sanjala da postoje.
06:34
I didn't know the protocols.
151
379000
2000
Nisam znala ništa o protokolima.
06:36
I didn't know how to use the cutlery.
152
381000
3000
Nisam znala da koristim pribor za jelo.
06:39
I didn't know how to talk about wine.
153
384000
3000
Nisam znala da razgovaram o vinu.
06:42
I didn't know how to talk about anything.
154
387000
4000
Nisam ni o čemu znala da razgovaram.
06:46
I wanted to retreat to the routines and comfort
155
391000
3000
Žudela sam da se vratim u rutinu i udobnost
06:49
of life in an unsung suburb --
156
394000
3000
života u anonimnom predgrađu -
06:52
a grandmother, a mother and two daughters
157
397000
3000
tamo gde bi baka, mama i dve ćerke
06:55
ending each day as they had for almost 20 years,
158
400000
3000
završavale dan kao i prethodnih 20 godina,
06:58
telling one another the story of their day
159
403000
2000
pričom o tome kako je im protekao dan
07:00
and falling asleep,
160
405000
2000
i odlazile da spavaju
07:02
the three of us still in the same bed.
161
407000
4000
sve tri još uvek u istom krevetu.
07:06
I told my mother I couldn't do it.
162
411000
4000
Rekla sam mami da ne mogu više.
07:10
She reminded me that I was now the same age she had been
163
415000
3000
Podsetila me je da mi je isto godina kao njoj
07:13
when we boarded the boat.
164
418000
3000
kad smo se ukrcale na onaj brod.
07:16
No had never been an option.
165
421000
3000
"Ne mogu" nikad nije bila opcija.
07:19
"Just do it," she said,
166
424000
2000
"Stisni zube i uradi to" rekla je,
07:21
"and don't be what you're not."
167
426000
3000
"i nemoj da budeš ono što nisi."
07:24
So I spoke out on youth unemployment and education
168
429000
3000
Nastavila sam da pričam o nezaposlenosti i obrazovanju,
07:27
and the neglect of the marginalized and the disenfranchised.
169
432000
3000
o nebrizi za marginalizovane i obespravljene.
07:30
And the more candidly I spoke,
170
435000
2000
Što sam otvorenije govorila,
07:32
the more I was asked to speak.
171
437000
3000
sve češće su me zvali da govorim.
07:35
I met people from all walks of life,
172
440000
3000
Sretala sam ljude različitih životnih puteva,
07:38
so many of them doing the thing they loved,
173
443000
2000
i mnogi od njih su radili ono što vole,
07:40
living on the frontiers of possibility.
174
445000
3000
idući do granica mogućnosti.
07:43
And even though I finished my degree,
175
448000
3000
Iako sam već diplomirala, shvatila sam
07:46
I realized I could not settle into a career in law.
176
451000
3000
da mi pravnička karijera nije dovoljna.
07:49
There had to be another piece of the jigsaw.
177
454000
3000
Morao je da postoji još jedan deo mozaika.
07:52
And I realized at the same time
178
457000
3000
Shvatila sam takođe da
07:55
that it is okay to be an outsider,
179
460000
2000
nije problem biti autsajder,
07:57
a recent arrival,
180
462000
2000
neko ko je tek stigao,
07:59
new on the scene --
181
464000
2000
neko nov -
08:01
and not just okay,
182
466000
2000
i ne samo da nije problem,
08:03
but something to be thankful for,
183
468000
2000
nego da može da bude prednost,
08:05
perhaps a gift from the boat.
184
470000
3000
možda je to bio poklon onog broda.
08:08
Because being an insider
185
473000
2000
Zato što biti insajder može lako
08:10
can so easily mean collapsing the horizons,
186
475000
2000
da znači prihvatanje granica,
08:12
can so easily mean
187
477000
2000
i olako prelaženje preko
08:14
accepting the presumptions of your province.
188
479000
3000
predrasuda sopstvenog zavičaja.
08:17
I have stepped outside my comfort zone enough now
189
482000
3000
Sad kad sam dovoljno dugo van mog ličnog
08:20
to know that, yes, the world does fall apart,
190
485000
2000
udobnog kutka, znam da svet ide nagore,
08:22
but not in the way that you fear.
191
487000
3000
ali ne onako kako se pribojavamo.
08:25
Possibilities that would not have been allowed
192
490000
2000
Mogućnosti kojih do tada nije bilo
08:27
were outrageously encouraged.
193
492000
2000
su sada dobijale podršku.
08:29
There was an energy there,
194
494000
2000
Postojala je neka nova energija,
08:31
an implacable optimism,
195
496000
2000
nezaustavljiv optimizam,
08:33
a strange mixture of humility and daring.
196
498000
3000
čudna mešavina skromnosti i smelosti.
08:36
So I followed my hunches.
197
501000
2000
Tako da sam poslušala svoju intuiciju
08:38
I gathered around me a small team of people
198
503000
3000
i okupila oko sebe malu grupu ljudi
08:41
for whom the label "It can't be done"
199
506000
2000
za koju je etiketa "nije moguće"
08:43
was an irresistible challenge.
200
508000
3000
predstavljala neodoljiv izazov.
08:46
For a year we were penniless.
201
511000
2000
Cele jedne godine nismo ništa zaradili.
08:48
At the end of each day, I made a huge pot of soup
202
513000
2000
Na kraju svakog dana napravila bih veliki
08:50
which we all shared.
203
515000
2000
lonac čorbe koju bismo zajedno jeli.
08:52
We worked well into each night.
204
517000
3000
Radili smo do kasno u noć.
08:55
Most of our ideas were crazy,
205
520000
2000
Većina naših ideja su bile lude,
08:57
but a few were brilliant,
206
522000
2000
ali neke su bile briljantne,
08:59
and we broke through.
207
524000
3000
i uspeli smo da se probijemo.
09:02
I made the decision to move to the U.S.
208
527000
2000
Odlučila sam da se preselim u Ameriku
09:04
after only one trip.
209
529000
2000
posle samo jedne posete.
09:06
My hunches again.
210
531000
2000
Opet moja intuicija.
09:08
Three months later I had relocated,
211
533000
2000
Tri meseca kasnije sam se preselila,
09:10
and the adventure has continued.
212
535000
3000
i avantura se nastavila.
09:13
Before I close though,
213
538000
2000
Pre nego što završim volela bih
09:15
let me tell you about my grandmother.
214
540000
3000
da vam kažem nešto o mojoj baki.
09:18
She grew up at a time
215
543000
2000
Ona je odrasla u vreme kad je
09:20
when Confucianism was the social norm
216
545000
2000
konfučijanizam bio socijalna norma
09:22
and the local Mandarin was the person who mattered.
217
547000
3000
i lokalni mandarin je bio osoba od značaja.
09:25
Life hadn't changed for centuries.
218
550000
3000
Život se nije menjao vekovima.
09:28
Her father died soon after she was born.
219
553000
4000
Otac joj je umro ubrzo nakon njenog rođenja.
09:32
Her mother raised her alone.
220
557000
3000
Majka ju je odgajala sama.
09:35
At 17 she became the second wife
221
560000
3000
U sedamnaestoj je postala druga žena
09:38
of a Mandarin whose mother beat her.
222
563000
3000
mandarina čija ju je majka tukla.
09:41
With no support from her husband,
223
566000
2000
Nije imala podršku muža,
09:43
she caused a sensation by taking him to court
224
568000
3000
i izazvalo je senzaciju to što ga je
09:46
and prosecuting her own case,
225
571000
2000
izvela pred sud gde je zastupala samu sebe,
09:48
and a far greater sensation when she won.
226
573000
3000
i još veću senzaciju kad je spor i dobila.
09:51
(Laughter)
227
576000
2000
(Smeh)
09:53
(Applause)
228
578000
4000
(Aplauz)
09:57
"It can't be done" was shown to be wrong.
229
582000
4000
"Nije moguće" se dokazalo kao pogrešno.
10:03
I was taking a shower in a hotel room in Sydney
230
588000
3000
Bila sam pod tušem u jednoj hotelskoj sobi u Sidneju
10:06
the moment she died
231
591000
2000
u momentu kad je umrla
10:08
600 miles away in Melbourne.
232
593000
3000
u Melburnu, 1000 kilometara daleko.
10:11
I looked through the shower screen
233
596000
2000
Pogledala sam kroz staklo kabine
10:13
and saw her standing on the other side.
234
598000
3000
i videla je kako stoji sa druge strane.
10:16
I knew she had come to say goodbye.
235
601000
2000
Znala sam da je došla da se oprosti.
10:18
My mother phoned minutes later.
236
603000
3000
Par minuta kasnije pozvala me je mama.
10:21
A few days later,
237
606000
2000
Nakon nekoliko dana,
10:23
we went to a Buddhist temple in Footscray
238
608000
2000
otišle smo u budistički hram u Futskraju
10:25
and sat around her casket.
239
610000
2000
i sedele pored njenog kovčega.
10:27
We told her stories
240
612000
2000
Pričale smo joj priče
10:29
and assured her that we were still with her.
241
614000
3000
i uverile je da smo još uvek uz nju.
10:32
At midnight the monk came
242
617000
3000
U ponoć je došao monah i
10:35
and told us he had to close the casket.
243
620000
3000
rekao da mora da zatvori kovčeg.
10:38
My mother asked us to feel her hand.
244
623000
3000
Mama nas je zamolila da joj dodirnemo ruku
10:41
She asked the monk,
245
626000
2000
i upitala monaha:
10:43
"Why is it that her hand is so warm
246
628000
2000
"Kako to da joj je ruka tako topla,
10:45
and the rest of her is so cold?"
247
630000
3000
a ostatak tela tako hladan?"
10:48
"Because you have been holding it since this morning," he said.
248
633000
4000
"Zato što ste je držali ceo dan," rekao je.
10:52
"You have not let it go."
249
637000
3000
"Niste je pustili ni za trenutak."
10:57
If there is a sinew in our family,
250
642000
2000
Ako ima snage u našoj porodici,
10:59
it runs through the women.
251
644000
2000
nose je žene.
11:01
Given who we were and how life had shaped us,
252
646000
3000
Gledajući odakle smo došle i kako nas je
11:04
we can now see
253
649000
2000
život oblikovao, sada možemo da vidimo
11:06
that the men who might have come into our lives
254
651000
2000
da bi nas muškarci koje bismo
11:08
would have thwarted us.
255
653000
2000
eventualno srele, usporili na našem putu.
11:10
Defeat would have come too easily.
256
655000
3000
Olako bismo prihvatile poraz.
11:13
Now I would like to have my own children,
257
658000
2000
Sada bih volela da imam svoju decu,
11:15
and I wonder about the boat.
258
660000
3000
i razmišljam o onom brodu.
11:18
Who could ever wish it on their own?
259
663000
3000
Ko bi to poželeo nekom svom?
11:21
Yet I am afraid of privilege,
260
666000
2000
Ali zazirem od privilegija,
11:23
of ease,
261
668000
2000
od lagodnosti,
11:25
of entitlement.
262
670000
2000
od povlastica.
11:27
Can I give them a bow in their lives,
263
672000
2000
Da li smem da ih ostavim na pramcu
11:29
dipping bravely into each wave,
264
674000
3000
broda koji hrabro uranja u talase,
11:32
the unperturbed and steady beat of the engine,
265
677000
3000
nošen sigurnim ritmom motora,
11:35
the vast horizon
266
680000
2000
ka široko otvorenom horizontu
11:37
that guarantees nothing?
267
682000
2000
u kome, pak, nema garancija?
11:39
I don't know.
268
684000
2000
Ne znam.
11:41
But if I could give it
269
686000
2000
Ali kada bih mogla to da im dam,
11:43
and still see them safely through,
270
688000
2000
a da znam da će to sigurno da prebrode,
11:45
I would.
271
690000
3000
svakako bih.
11:48
(Applause)
272
693000
12000
(Aplauz)
12:00
Trevor Neilson: And also, Tan's mother is here today
273
705000
3000
Trevor Nilson: Samo da znate, Tanina mama
12:03
in the fourth or fifth row.
274
708000
3000
je danas sa nama, sedi u petom redu.
12:06

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Tan Le - EntrepreneurTan Le is the founder & CEO of Emotiv, a bioinformatics company that's working on identifying biomarkers for mental and other neurological conditions using electroencephalography (EEG).
Why you should listen
Tan Le is the co-founder and president of Emotiv. Before this, she headed a firm that worked on a new form of remote control that uses brainwaves to control digital devices and digital media. It's long been a dream to bypass the mechanical (mouse, keyboard, clicker) and have our digital devices respond directly to what we think. Emotiv's EPOC headset uses 16 sensors to listen to activity across the entire brain. Software "learns" what each user's brain activity looks like when one, for instance, imagines a left turn or a jump.
Le herself has an extraordinary story -- a refugee from Vietnam at age 4, she entered college at 16 and has since become a vital young leader in her home country of Australia.
