Unutar svakog od nas su dve osobe, tvrdi Dejvid Bruks u ovom kratkom, meditativnom govoru - onaj deo koji želi uspeh, koji gradi biografiju, i onaj deo koji traži povezanost, zajednicu, ljubav - vrednosti koje čine dostojan posmrtni govor. (Džozef Solovečik je ove delove ličnosti nazvao "Adam I" i "Adam II"). Bruks pita - možemo li da držimo ova dva dela ličnosti u ravnoteži?

to su veštine koje su bitne na tržištu.
00:23
The eulogy virtues are the ones
4
11909
1738
Hvalospevi su one vrline
00:25
that get mentioned in the eulogy,
5
13647
1482
koje se pominju na opelu
00:27
which are deeper: who are you,
in your depth,
in your depth,
6
15129
2938
i one su dublje: ko ste, u suštini,
00:30
what is the nature of your relationships,
7
18067
1776
kakvi su vaši odnosi sa ljudima,
00:31

3564
da li ste hrabri, nežni,
pouzdani i dosledni.

00:35
And most of us, including

Većina nas, uključujući i mene
00:36
that the eulogy virtues are the
more important of the virtues.

rekli bi da su osobine u govoru
na opelu najvažnije osobine.
na opelu najvažnije osobine.
00:40
But at least in my case,
are they the ones that
are they the ones that
11
28127
2073
Ali po mom mišljenju,
da li su te osobine
da li su te osobine
00:42
I think about the most?
And the answer is no.
And the answer is no.
12
30200
2802
one o kojima najviše razmišljam?
Odgovor je ne.
Odgovor je ne.
00:45
So I've been thinking about that problem,
13
33002
2293
Tako da sam razmišljao o tom problemu,
00:47
and a thinker who has
helped me think about it
helped me think about it

i u tome mi je pomogao

And the tricky thing,
I'd say, about these

A zanimljivo je, rekao bih,
kod ove dve strane
kod ove dve strane
01:51
two sides of our nature is they work
40
99578
1692
naše prirode, što one rade
01:53
by different logics.

is a moral logic and

And the problem is, that turns
you into a shrewd animal

Problem je, što te pretvaraju
u lukavu životinju koja na život

02:56
I was reminded of a common
response through history

66
164180
3447
Podsetio sam se uobičajenog
odgovora tokom istorije

02:59
of how you build a solid Adam II,

kako izgraditi čvrstog Adama II,

how you build a depth of character.

Through history, people
have gone back

Tokom istorije, ljudi su se vraćali
03:07

sometimes to a precious

and often, the mind
gravitates in the past

03:38
You go into yourself,
you find the sin

81
206409
2858
Pogledajte sebe iznutra,
pronaći ćete greh koji ste stalno

03:41
which you've committed over
and again through your life,
and again through your life,
82
209267
1672
ponavljali tokom svog života,
03:42
your signature sin
83
210939
1801
vaš lični greh
03:44
out of which the others emerge,
84
212740
2691
iz koga se javljaju ostali
03:47
and you fight that sin and you wrestle with that sin,
85
215431
2864
i borite se sa tim grehom
i rvite se sa tim grehom,

03:50
and out of that wrestling,
that suffering,
that suffering,
86
218295
3136
i iz te borbe, te patnje
03:53
then a depth of character is constructed.
87
221431
3618
izgrađena je dubina vašeg karaktera.
03:57
And we're often not
taught to recognize

88
225049
1902
I često nismo naučeni da prepoznajemo
03:58
the sin in ourselves,
89
226951
1136
greh u sebi
04:00
in that we're not taught in this culture
90
228087
1848
pa nismo naučeni u ovoj kulturi
04:01
how to wrestle with it,

04:06
We live in a culture
with an Adam I mentality

where we're inarticulate
about Adam II.

i u kome ne razumemo Adama II.
04:13
Finally, Reinhold Niebuhr
95
241054
1656
Konačno, Rajnhold Nibur
04:14
summed up the confrontation, the fully lived

242710
2135
sažeo je tu suprotnost, prisutnost

Ništa što je istina

nema smisao u bilo kom

Nothing we do, however virtuous,

therefore we must
be saved by love.

104
266672

zato nas mora spasiti ljubav.
04:41
No virtuous act is quite as virtuous
