When I was 14 years old,

Kad sam imao 14 godina,
00:24
I had low self-esteem.
1
12015
2633
imao sam nizak nivo samopouzdanja.
00:26
I felt I was not talented at anything.
2
14648
4452
Osećao sam da nisam talentovan ni za šta.
00:31
One day, I bought a yo-yo.
3
19100
3771
Jednog dana kupio sam jo-jo.
00:34
When I tried my first trick, it looked like this.

3997
Kad sam pokušao svoj prvi trik
izgledalo je ovako.
izgledalo je ovako.
00:45
I couldn't even do the simplest trick,
5
33390
2965
Nisam mogao da napravim
ni najjednostavniji trik,
ni najjednostavniji trik,
00:48
but it was very natural for me,
6
36355
2387
ali to je bilo prirodno za mene,
00:50
because I was not dextrous, and hated all sports.
7
38742
4545
jer nisam bio spretan
i mrzeo sam sve sportove.
i mrzeo sam sve sportove.
00:55
But after one week of practicing,
8
43287
3035
Ali nakon nedelju dana vežbanja,
00:58
my throws became more like this.
9
46322
3236
moji pokreti su izgledali ovako.
01:06
A bit better.
10
54119
2780
Za nijansu bolje.
01:08
I thought, the yo-yo is something for me to be good at,
11
56899
3716
Pomislio sam, jo-jo je nešto u čemu
mogu da budem dobar,
mogu da budem dobar,
01:12
for the first time in my life.
12
60615
2674
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
Provodio sam sve vreme vežbajući.
01:21
It took me hours and hours a day
15
69849
2181
Bili su potrebni sati i sati svakog dana
01:24
to build my skills up to the next level.
16
72030
2803
da podignem svoje veštine
na sledeći nivo.
na sledeći nivo.
01:26
And then, four years later, when I was 18 years old,
17
74833
4783
I onda, nakon četiri godine,
kad sam imao 18 godina,
kad sam imao 18 godina,
01:31
I was standing onstage at the World Yo-Yo Contest.
18
79616
3733
stajao sam na pozornici
Svetskog Jo-Jo takmičenja.
Svetskog Jo-Jo takmičenja.
01:35
And I won.
19
83349
1283
I pobedio sam.
01:36
I was so excited. "Yes, I did it! I became a hero.
20
84632
3623
Bio sam toliko uzbuđen.
"Da, uspeo sam! Postao sam heroj.
"Da, uspeo sam! Postao sam heroj.
01:40
I may get many sponsors, a lot of money,
21
88255
2789
Mogao bih dobiti mnogo sponzora,
novca,
novca,
01:43
tons of interviews, and be on TV!" I thought. (Laughter)
22
91044
4556
tone intervjua i biti na TV-u!"
Pomislio sam. (Smeh)
Pomislio sam. (Smeh)
01:47
But after coming back to Japan,
23
95600
3026
Međutim po povratku u Japan,
01:50
totally nothing changed in my life.
24
98626
4310
baš ništa se nije promenilo.
01:54
I realized society didn't value my passion.
25
102936
5051
Shvatio sam da društvo
ne ceni moju strast.
ne ceni moju strast.
01:59
So I went back to my college
26
107987
2643
Vratio sam se na koledž
02:02
and became a typical Japanese worker
27
110630
2048
i postao tipični japanski radnik,
02:04
as a systems engineer.
28
112678
2456
inženjer za sisteme.
02:07
I felt my passion, heart and soul, had left my body.
29
115134
6218
Osećao sam da su moja strast,
moje srce i duša, napustili telo.
moje srce i duša, napustili telo.
02:13
I felt I was not alive anymore.
30
121352
2854
Nisam se više osećao živim.
02:16
So I started to consider what I should do,
31
124206
3963
Počeo sam da razmišljam
šta da uradim
šta da uradim
02:20
and I thought, I wanted to make my performance better,
32
128169
4249
i pomislio sam da želim
da poboljšam svoj nastup
da poboljšam svoj nastup
02:24
and to show onstage how spectacular the yo-yo could be
33
132418
4637
i pokažem na pozornici koliko
jo-jo može biti spektakularan
jo-jo može biti spektakularan
02:29
to change the public's image of the yo-yo.
34
137055
4106
i time promenim mišljenje publike o jo-jo-u.
02:33
So I quit my company
35
141161
2713
Dao sam otkaz u kompaniji
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 da učim klasični balet,
džez-ples,
džez-ples,
02:43

151054

02:45
to make my performance better.
39
153028

u cilju poboljšanja performansa.
02:47
As a result of these efforts, and the help of many others,
40
155520
3176
Kao rezultat ovih nastojanja
i pomoći mnogih drugih,
i pomoći mnogih drugih,
02:50

What I learned from the yo-yo is,
48
179543
2859
Ono što sam naučio zahvaljujući jo-jo-u,
03:14
if I make enough effort with huge passion,
49
182402
5037
je da ako uložim dovoljan napor
sa velikom strašću,

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!
