You know, I'm struck by how one of the implicit themes of TED
0
1000
4000
Znate, zadivljen sam time kako je saosećajnost jedna od tema koje se podrazumevaju na TED-u.
00:17
is compassion, these very moving demonstrations we've just seen:
1
5000
3000
Ovi veoma dirljivi prikazi koje smo upravo videli:
00:21
HIV in Africa, President Clinton last night.
2
9000
4000
HIV u Africi, predsednik Klinton sinoć.
00:25
And I'd like to do a little collateral thinking, if you will,
3
13000
5000
Dodao bih, na jedan indirektan način, razmišljanje
00:30
about compassion and bring it from the global level to the personal.
4
18000
5000
o saosećanju i preneo ga sa globalnog na lični nivo.
00:35
I'm a psychologist, but rest assured,
5
23000
2000
Ja sam psiholog, ali ne brinite,
00:37
I will not bring it to the scrotal.
6
25000
1000
neću svesti priču ispod pojasa.
00:39
(Laughter)
7
27000
4000
(smeh)
00:44
There was a very important study done a while ago
8
32000
2000
Veoma važno istraživanje sprovedeno je pre izvesnog vremena
00:46
at Princeton Theological Seminary that speaks to why it is
9
34000
4000
na prinstonskoj bogosloviji, koje govori o tome zašto se dešava
00:51
that when all of us have so many opportunities to help,
10
39000
3000
da iako svi imamo toliko mnogo mogućnosti da pomognemo,
00:54
we do sometimes, and we don't other times.
11
42000
3000
ponekad pomažemo, a ponekad ne.
00:58
A group of divinity students at the Princeton Theological Seminary
12
46000
3000
Grupi studenata teologije na prinstonskoj bogosloviji
01:02
were told that they were going to give a practice sermon
13
50000
4000
rečeno je da će održati probnu propoved
01:06
and they were each given a sermon topic.
14
54000
3000
i svakom je data tema propovedi.
01:09
Half of those students were given, as a topic,
15
57000
3000
Polovina tih studenata za temu je dobila
01:12
the parable of the Good Samaritan:
16
60000
2000
parabolu o Dobrom Samarićaninu:
01:14
the man who stopped the stranger in --
17
62000
2000
o čoveku koji se zaustavio
01:17
to help the stranger in need by the side of the road.
18
65000
2000
da pomogne neznancu pored puta u nevolji.
01:19
Half were given random Bible topics.
19
67000
3000
Polovini je data neka slučajno odabrana tema iz Biblije.
01:22
Then one by one, they were told they had to go to another building
20
70000
3000
Onda je, jednom po jednom, rečeno da moraju da odu u drugu zgradu
01:26
and give their sermon.
21
74000
1000
da održe propoved.
01:27
As they went from the first building to the second,
22
75000
3000
Na putu iz jedne u drugu zgradu,
01:30
each of them passed a man who was bent over and moaning,
23
78000
3000
svaki od njih prošao je pored čoveka koji je bio sagnut i stenjao je,
01:34
clearly in need. The question is: Did they stop to help?
24
82000
4000
očigledno u nevolji. Pitanje je: da li su se zaustavili da pomognu?
01:38
The more interesting question is:
25
86000
1000
Još interesantnije pitanje je:
01:40
Did it matter they were contemplating the parable
26
88000
3000
da li je uticalo to što su razmišljali o paraboli
01:43
of the Good Samaritan? Answer: No, not at all.
27
91000
4000
o Dobrom Samarićaninu? Odgovor: Ne, uopšte.
01:48
What turned out to determine whether someone would stop
28
96000
3000
Ispostavilo se da je ono što određuje da li će se neko zaustaviti
01:51
and help a stranger in need
29
99000
1000
da pomogne neznancu u nevolji
01:52
was how much of a hurry they thought they were in --
30
100000
3000
bilo njihovo mišljenje o tome koliko su se žurili --
01:56
were they feeling they were late, or were they absorbed
31
104000
4000
da li su se osećali da kasne, ili su bili udubljeni
02:00
in what they were going to talk about.
32
108000
1000
u ono o čemu je trebalo da pričaju.
02:02
And this is, I think, the predicament of our lives:
33
110000
2000
I to je, po mom mišljenju, neprilika naših života:
02:05
that we don't take every opportunity to help
34
113000
4000
ne prihvatamo svaku priliku da pomognemo,
02:09
because our focus is in the wrong direction.
35
117000
3000
jer je naša pažnja usmerena u pogrešnom pravcu.
02:12
There's a new field in brain science, social neuroscience.
36
120000
3000
Postoji novo polje u neurologiji, socijalna neuronauka.
02:16
This studies the circuitry in two people's brains
37
124000
4000
Ona proučava povezivanje u mozgovima dvoje ljudi
02:20
that activates while they interact.
38
128000
2000
koje se aktivira kad su oni u interakciji.
02:22
And the new thinking about compassion from social neuroscience
39
130000
4000
I novo mišljenje socijalne neuronauke o saosećanju je
02:26
is that our default wiring is to help.
40
134000
4000
da smo programirani da pomognemo.
02:30
That is to say, if we attend to the other person,
41
138000
4000
Što znači, ako obratimo pažnju na drugu osobu,
02:35
we automatically empathize, we automatically feel with them.
42
143000
3000
mi automatski empatišemo, automatski saosećamo.
02:39
There are these newly identified neurons, mirror neurons,
43
147000
2000
Postoje ti novootkriveni neuroni, neuroni ogledala,
02:41
that act like a neuro Wi-Fi, activating in our brain
44
149000
4000
koji se ponašaju kao neuronska bežična mreža i u našem mozgu aktiviraju
02:45
exactly the areas activated in theirs. We feel "with" automatically.
45
153000
4000
tačno one oblasti koje su aktivne u mozgu druge osobe. Mi automatski osećamo "sa".
02:49
And if that person is in need, if that person is suffering,
46
157000
4000
I ako je ta osoba u nevolji, ako ta osoba pati,
02:54
we're automatically prepared to help. At least that's the argument.
47
162000
4000
mi smo automatski pripremljeni da pomognemo. Barem tako tvrde.
02:58
But then the question is: Why don't we?
48
166000
3000
Ali pitanje je: zašto ne pomognemo?
03:01
And I think this speaks to a spectrum
49
169000
2000
Mislim da se ovo odnosi na spektar
03:04
that goes from complete self-absorption,
50
172000
2000
koji ide od potpune okupiranosti sobom,
03:07
to noticing, to empathy and to compassion.
51
175000
2000
preko primećivanja, do empatije i saosećanja.
03:09
And the simple fact is, if we are focused on ourselves,
52
177000
4000
A jednostavna činjenica je ta da ako smo fokusirani na sebe,
03:14
if we're preoccupied, as we so often are throughout the day,
53
182000
3000
ako smo preokupirani, kao što često i jesmo u toku dana,
03:17
we don't really fully notice the other.
54
185000
3000
mi zapravo ne primećujemo drugu osobu potpuno.
03:20
And this difference between the self and the other focus
55
188000
2000
Ova razlika između usredsređenosti na sebe i na drugog
03:22
can be very subtle.
56
190000
1000
može biti vrlo suptilna.
03:23
I was doing my taxes the other day, and I got to the point
57
191000
4000
Pre neki dan sam sređivao svoj porez i stigao sam do tačke
03:27
where I was listing all of the donations I gave,
58
195000
2000
gde navodim sve donacije koje sam dao
03:30
and I had an epiphany, it was -- I came to my check
59
198000
3000
i doživeo sam otkrovenje, naišao sam na ček
03:33
to the Seva Foundation and I noticed that I thought,
60
201000
3000
za Seva Fondaciju i primetio sam kako sam pomislio,
03:36
boy, my friend Larry Brilliant would really be happy
61
204000
2000
čoveče, moj prijatelj Leri Briliant bi bio presrećan
03:39
that I gave money to Seva.
62
207000
1000
što sam dao pare Sevi.
03:40
Then I realized that what I was getting from giving
63
208000
3000
Onda sam shvatio da je ono što dobijam od davanja
03:43
was a narcissistic hit -- that I felt good about myself.
64
211000
4000
bio narcistički udar -- osećao sam se dobro u vezi sa sobom.
03:47
Then I started to think about the people in the Himalayas
65
215000
5000
Onda sam počeo da razmišljam o ljudima na Himalajima
03:52
whose cataracts would be helped, and I realized
66
220000
2000
kojima će katarakte biti izlečene, i shvatio sam
03:55
that I went from this kind of narcissistic self-focus
67
223000
3000
da sam se pomerio od ove narcističke samousredsređenosti
03:59
to altruistic joy, to feeling good
68
227000
3000
na altruističku radost, na osećanje zadovoljstva
04:02
for the people that were being helped. I think that's a motivator.
69
230000
4000
zbog ljudi kojima se pomaže. Mislim da je to motiv.
04:06
But this distinction between focusing on ourselves
70
234000
3000
Ali ova razlika između fokusiranosti na sebe
04:09
and focusing on others
71
237000
1000
i fokusiranosti na druge
04:10
is one that I encourage us all to pay attention to.
72
238000
3000
je ono na šta želim da obratimo pažnju.
04:13
You can see it at a gross level in the world of dating.
73
241000
3000
To možete u velikoj meri primetiti u sferi zabavljanja.
04:17
I was at a sushi restaurant a while back
74
245000
3000
Pre izvesnog vremena bio sam u suši restoranu
04:20
and I overheard two women talking about the brother of one woman,
75
248000
3000
i načuo sam dve žene koje su razgovarale o bratu jedne od njih
04:24
who was in the singles scene. And this woman says,
76
252000
3000
koji je bio samac. Jedna žena kaže,
04:27
"My brother is having trouble getting dates,
77
255000
2000
"Moj brat ima poteškoća da pronađe devojku za izlazak
04:29
so he's trying speed dating." I don't know if you know speed dating?
78
257000
2000
pa isprobava upoznavanje na brzaka." Ne znam da li znate šta je to upoznavanje na brzaka?
04:31
Women sit at tables and men go from table to table,
79
259000
4000
Žene sede za stolovima, a muškarci idu od stola do stola
04:35
and there's a clock and a bell, and at five minutes, bingo,
80
263000
3000
tu se nalaze sat i zvono i kroz pet minuta, bingo,
04:39
the conversation ends and the woman can decide
81
267000
2000
razgovor se završava i žena odlučuje
04:41
whether to give her card or her email address to the man
82
269000
4000
da li da da svoj broj ili email adresu muškarcu
04:45
for follow up. And this woman says,
83
273000
2000
kako bi nastavili. I ova žena priča,
04:47
"My brother's never gotten a card, and I know exactly why.
84
275000
4000
"Moj brat nikada nije dobio broj telefona. I tačno znam zašto.
04:51
The moment he sits down, he starts talking non-stop about himself;
85
279000
5000
U trenutku kada sedne, on počinje neprekidno da priča o sebi,
04:56
he never asks about the woman."
86
284000
1000
nikada ništa ne pita o ženi."
04:58
And I was doing some research in the Sunday Styles section
87
286000
5000
Malo sam istraživao u odeljku Sunday Styles
05:03
of The New York Times, looking at the back stories of marriages --
88
291000
3000
u New York Times-u, čitao sam priče o nastanku brakova --
05:06
because they're very interesting -- and I came to the marriage
89
294000
3000
jer su veoma interesantne -- i stigao sam do braka
05:09
of Alice Charney Epstein. And she said
90
297000
3000
Alis Čarni Epstin. I ona kaže
05:12
that when she was in the dating scene,
91
300000
2000
da je dok je bila sama i izlazila,
05:15
she had a simple test she put people to.
92
303000
2000
imala jednostavan test koji je zadavala ljudima.
05:18
The test was: from the moment they got together,
93
306000
2000
Test je bio sledeći: od momenta kad se nađu,
05:20
how long it would take the guy to ask her a question
94
308000
3000
koliko dugo je potrebno momku da joj postavi pitanje
05:23
with the word "you" in it.
95
311000
2000
koje sadrži reč "ti".
05:25
And apparently Epstein aced the test, therefore the article.
96
313000
4000
I očigledno je Epstin prošao test, otuda i članak.
05:29
(Laughter)
97
317000
1000
(smeh)
05:30
Now this is a -- it's a little test
98
318000
2000
Ovo je -- to je mali test
05:32
I encourage you to try out at a party.
99
320000
2000
koji vam savetujem da isprobate na žurci.
05:34
Here at TED there are great opportunities.
100
322000
2000
I ovde na TED-u imate odlične prilike.
05:38
The Harvard Business Review recently had an article called
101
326000
3000
U "The Harvard Business Review" nedavno je izašao članak koji se zove
05:41
"The Human Moment," about how to make real contact
102
329000
3000
"Ljudski trenutak", o tome kako uspostaviti pravi kontakt
05:44
with a person at work. And they said, well,
103
332000
3000
sa osobom na poslu. I oni kažu pa,
05:47
the fundamental thing you have to do is turn off your BlackBerry,
104
335000
3000
osnovna stvar koju treba da uradite je da ugasite svoj BlackBerry,
05:51
close your laptop, end your daydream
105
339000
3000
zatvorite laptop, završite sa sanjarenjem
05:55
and pay full attention to the person.
106
343000
2000
i usmerite punu pažnju na osobu.
05:58
There is a newly coined word in the English language
107
346000
4000
Postoji jedna nova kovanica u engleskom jeziku
06:03
for the moment when the person we're with whips out their BlackBerry
108
351000
3000
za trenutak u kom osoba sa kojom smo izvadi svoj BlackBerry
06:06
or answers that cell phone, and all of a sudden we don't exist.
109
354000
3000
ili se javi na mobilni, i odjednom mi ne postojimo.
06:10
The word is "pizzled": it's a combination of puzzled and pissed off.
110
358000
4000
Reč je "pizzled": kombinacija "puzzled" i "pissed off". ("zbunjiran": zbunjen i iznerviran)
06:14
(Laughter)
111
362000
3000
(smeh)
06:17
I think it's quite apt. It's our empathy, it's our tuning in
112
365000
6000
Mislim da je prilično prikladno. Naša empatija, uključivanje,
06:24
which separates us from Machiavellians or sociopaths.
113
372000
3000
je ono što nas odvaja od makijavelista ili sociopata.
06:27
I have a brother-in-law who's an expert on horror and terror --
114
375000
5000
Imam zeta koji je stručnjak za stravu i užas --
06:32
he wrote the Annotated Dracula, the Essential Frankenstein --
115
380000
3000
napisao je "Objašnjeni drakula, suštinski Frankenštajn" --
06:35
he was trained as a Chaucer scholar,
116
383000
1000
proučavao je Čosera,
06:36
but he was born in Transylvania
117
384000
2000
ali rođen je u Transilvaniji
06:38
and I think it affected him a little bit.
118
386000
2000
i mislim da je to malo uticalo na njega.
06:40
At any rate, at one point my brother-in-law, Leonard,
119
388000
4000
U svakom slučaju, u jednom trenutku moj zet, Leonard,
06:44
decided to write a book about a serial killer.
120
392000
2000
odlučuje da napiše knjigu o jednom serijskom ubici.
06:46
This is a man who terrorized the very vicinity we're in
121
394000
3000
To je čovek koji je terorisao upravo okruženje u kom se nalazimo,
06:50
many years ago. He was known as the Santa Cruz strangler.
122
398000
2000
pre mnogo godina. Bio je poznat kao davitelj iz Santa Kruza.
06:53
And before he was arrested, he had murdered his grandparents,
123
401000
4000
Pre nego što je uhapšen ubio je svoju babu i dedu,
06:57
his mother and five co-eds at UC Santa Cruz.
124
405000
3000
svoju majku i pet studentkinja sa Santa Kruz univerziteta u Kaliforniji.
07:01
So my brother-in-law goes to interview this killer
125
409000
2000
I tako moj zet ide da intervjuiše ovog serijskog ubicu
07:04
and he realizes when he meets him
126
412000
2000
i shvata, kada ga upoznaje
07:06
that this guy is absolutely terrifying.
127
414000
1000
da je ovaj tip apsolutno zastrašujuć.
07:08
For one thing, he's almost seven feet tall.
128
416000
2000
Za početak, visok je preko dva metra.
07:10
But that's not the most terrifying thing about him.
129
418000
3000
Ali to nije najstrašnije u vezi sa njim.
07:13
The scariest thing is that his IQ is 160: a certified genius.
130
421000
5000
Najstrašnija stvar je ta da je njegov IQ 160: osvedočeni genije.
07:19
But there is zero correlation between IQ and emotional empathy,
131
427000
4000
Ali korelacija između IQ i emocionalne empatije,
07:23
feeling with the other person.
132
431000
1000
osećanja sa drugom osobom, je nula.
07:25
They're controlled by different parts of the brain.
133
433000
2000
Kontrolišu ih različiti delovi mozga.
07:28
So at one point, my brother-in-law gets up the courage
134
436000
2000
I u jednom trenutku moj zet skupi hrabrost
07:31
to ask the one question he really wants to know the answer to,
135
439000
2000
da postavi to jedno pitanje na koje stvarno želi da sazna odgovor.
07:33
and that is: how could you have done it?
136
441000
3000
A to je: Kako si mogao to da uradiš?
07:36
Didn't you feel any pity for your victims?
137
444000
2000
Zar nisi osećao nimalo sažaljenja prema svojim žrtvama?
07:38
These were very intimate murders -- he strangled his victims.
138
446000
3000
To su bila veoma intimna ubistva -- on je zadavio svoje žrtve.
07:42
And the strangler says very matter-of-factly,
139
450000
2000
I davitelj kaže vrlo činjenično,
07:44
"Oh no. If I'd felt the distress, I could not have done it.
140
452000
5000
"O, ne. Da sam osećao patnju, ne bih mogao to da uradim.
07:49
I had to turn that part of me off. I had to turn that part of me off."
141
457000
6000
Morao sam da isključim taj deo sebe. Morao sam da isključim taj deo sebe."
07:55
And I think that that is very troubling,
142
463000
5000
I mislim da je upravo to veoma uznemiravajuće.
08:01
and in a sense, I've been reflecting on turning that part of us off.
143
469000
4000
I na neki način sam razmišljao o isključivanju tog našeg dela.
08:05
When we focus on ourselves in any activity,
144
473000
2000
Kad se fokusiramo na sebe u bilo kojoj aktivnosti,
08:08
we do turn that part of ourselves off if there's another person.
145
476000
3000
mi stvarno isključimo taj deo sebe ako je tu neka druga osoba.
08:12
Think about going shopping and think about the possibilities
146
480000
5000
Pomislite na odlazak u kupovinu i pomislite na mogućnosti
08:17
of a compassionate consumerism.
147
485000
2000
saosećajnog konzumerizma.
08:20
Right now, as Bill McDonough has pointed out,
148
488000
2000
U ovom trenutku, kako je Bil MekDana istakao,
08:24
the objects that we buy and use have hidden consequences.
149
492000
4000
predmeti koje kupujemo i koristimo imaju skrivene posledice.
08:28
We're all unwitting victims of a collective blind spot.
150
496000
3000
Svi smo nenamerne žrtve kolektivne slepe mrlje.
08:32
We don't notice and don't notice that we don't notice
151
500000
2000
Ne primećujemo i ne primećujemo da ne primećujemo
08:35
the toxic molecules emitted by a carpet or by the fabric on the seats.
152
503000
6000
toksične molekule koje ispušta neki tepih ili tkanina sa sedišta.
08:42
Or we don't know if that fabric is a technological
153
510000
5000
Ili ne znamo da li je ta tkanina tehnološki
08:47
or manufacturing nutrient; it can be reused
154
515000
4000
ili fabrički hranljiva; da li se može ponovo koristiti
08:51
or does it just end up at landfill? In other words,
155
519000
2000
ili jednostavno završi na deponiji? Drugim rečima,
08:53
we're oblivious to the ecological and public health
156
521000
5000
nismo svesni ekološkog i javnog zdravlja
08:59
and social and economic justice consequences
157
527000
3000
i socijalnih i ekonomskih posledica
09:02
of the things we buy and use.
158
530000
2000
stvari koje kupujemo i koristimo.
09:06
In a sense, the room itself is the elephant in the room,
159
534000
4000
Na neki način, sama soba je slon u sobi,
09:10
but we don't see it. And we've become victims
160
538000
4000
ali mi ga ne vidimo. I postali smo žrtve
09:14
of a system that points us elsewhere. Consider this.
161
542000
3000
sistema koji nas usmerava na druge strane. Razmislite o ovome.
09:18
There's a wonderful book called
162
546000
3000
Postoji izvanredna knjiga koja se zove
09:22
Stuff: The Hidden Life of Everyday Objects.
163
550000
2000
"Stvari: skriveni život svakodnevnih predmeta".
09:25
And it talks about the back story of something like a t-shirt.
164
553000
3000
I govori o poreklu na primer majice.
09:28
And it talks about where the cotton was grown
165
556000
3000
Govori o tome gde je pamuk uzgajan
09:31
and the fertilizers that were used and the consequences
166
559000
2000
i o đubrivima koja su korišćena i posledicama
09:33
for soil of that fertilizer. And it mentions, for instance,
167
561000
4000
koje imaju na tlo. I spominje, na primer,
09:37
that cotton is very resistant to textile dye;
168
565000
3000
da je pamuk veoma otporan na boju za tekstil;
09:40
about 60 percent washes off into wastewater.
169
568000
3000
otprilike 60 procenata se ispere i ode u otpadnu vodu.
09:43
And it's well known by epidemiologists that kids
170
571000
3000
A epidemiolozi veoma dobro znaju da deca
09:46
who live near textile works tend to have high rates of leukemia.
171
574000
5000
koja žive blizu tekstilnih fabrika često obolevaju od leukemije.
09:52
There's a company, Bennett and Company, that supplies Polo.com,
172
580000
4000
Ima jedna kompanija, "Bennett and Company" koja snabdeva Polo.com,
09:57
Victoria's Secret -- they, because of their CEO, who's aware of this,
173
585000
5000
Victoria's Secret -- oni su, zbog svog generalnog direktora koji je svestan ovoga,
10:03
in China formed a joint venture with their dye works
174
591000
4000
osnovali u Kini zajedničku firmu sa svojim proizvođačima boje
10:07
to make sure that the wastewater
175
595000
2000
kako bi osigurali da se otpadne vode
10:09
would be properly taken care of before it returned to the groundwater.
176
597000
4000
prečiste na odgovarajući način pre nego što se vrate u reke.
10:13
Right now, we don't have the option to choose the virtuous t-shirt
177
601000
4000
Trenutno nemamo mogućnost da izaberemo plemenite majice
10:18
over the non-virtuous one. So what would it take to do that?
178
606000
4000
nad ne-plemenitim. Šta bi bilo potrebno da bi se to ostvarilo?
10:25
Well, I've been thinking. For one thing,
179
613000
3000
Razmišljao sam o tome. Za početak,
10:28
there's a new electronic tagging technology that allows any store
180
616000
5000
postoji nova tehnika elektronskog obeležavanja koja omogućava bilo kojoj prodavnici
10:33
to know the entire history of any item on the shelves in that store.
181
621000
4000
da zna celokupnu istoriju bilo kog predmeta koji se nalazi na policama u toj radnji.
10:38
You can track it back to the factory. Once you can track it
182
626000
2000
Možete ga pratiti unazad sve do fabrike. Kada saznate iz koje
10:40
back to the factory, you can look at the manufacturing processes
183
628000
4000
je fabrike, možete saznati na koji način je proizveden,
10:44
that were used to make it, and if it's virtuous,
184
632000
4000
i ako je prihvatljiv
10:48
you can label it that way. Or if it's not so virtuous,
185
636000
4000
možete ga tako označiti. Ili ako nije prihvatljiv,
10:52
you can go into -- today, go into any store,
186
640000
4000
možete otići u -- danas u bilo koju radnju
10:56
put your scanner on a palm onto a barcode,
187
644000
3000
i skenirati bar kod
10:59
which will take you to a website.
188
647000
2000
koji će vas odvesti na web sajt.
11:01
They have it for people with allergies to peanuts.
189
649000
2000
To postoji zbog ljudi koji imaju alergije na kikiriki.
11:04
That website could tell you things about that object.
190
652000
2000
Taj sajt će vam dati podatke o tom predmetu.
11:07
In other words, at point of purchase,
191
655000
1000
Drugim rečima, u trenutku kupovine
11:08
we might be able to make a compassionate choice.
192
656000
4000
moći ćemo saosećajno da biramo.
11:12
There's a saying in the world of information science:
193
660000
6000
Postoji jedna izreka u informatičkom svetu:
11:18
ultimately everybody will know everything.
194
666000
3000
na kraju krajeva, svi će znati sve.
11:21
And the question is: will it make a difference?
195
669000
2000
A pitanje je: da li će to nešto promeniti?
11:25
Some time ago when I was working for The New York Times,
196
673000
3000
Ranije dok sam radio za New York Times,
11:29
it was in the '80s, I did an article
197
677000
2000
bilo je to osamdesetih, napisao sam članak o
11:31
on what was then a new problem in New York --
198
679000
2000
onome što je tada bio novi problem u Njujorku -
11:33
it was homeless people on the streets.
199
681000
2000
o beskućnicima na ulicama.
11:35
And I spent a couple of weeks going around with a social work agency
200
683000
4000
Proveo sam dve nedelje idući okolo sa socijalnim radnicima
11:39
that ministered to the homeless. And I realized seeing the homeless
201
687000
3000
koji su pomagali beskućnicima. Gledajući beskućnike
11:42
through their eyes that almost all of them were psychiatric patients
202
690000
5000
njihovim očima shvatio sam da su to većinom psihijatrijski pacijenti
11:47
that had nowhere to go. They had a diagnosis. It made me --
203
695000
4000
koji nisu imali kuda da odu. Imali su dijagnozu. To me je
11:52
what it did was to shake me out of the urban trance where,
204
700000
3000
protreslo iz urbanog transa u kom,
11:56
when we see, when we're passing someone who's homeless
205
704000
3000
kada u prolazu vidimo nekoga ko je beskućnik,
11:59
in the periphery of our vision, it stays on the periphery.
206
707000
3000
on ostaje na periferiji našeg vida.
12:04
We don't notice and therefore we don't act.
207
712000
2000
Ne primećujemo i stoga ni ne reagujemo.
12:09
One day soon after that -- it was a Friday -- at the end of the day,
208
717000
5000
Jednog dana ubrzo posle toga -- bio je petak -- na kraju dana
12:14
I went down -- I was going down to the subway. It was rush hour
209
722000
3000
silazio sam u podzemnu železnicu. Bio je špic
12:17
and thousands of people were streaming down the stairs.
210
725000
2000
i hiljade ljudi je jurilo niz stepenice.
12:19
And all of a sudden as I was going down the stairs
211
727000
2000
Dok sam silazio odjednom
12:21
I noticed that there was a man slumped to the side,
212
729000
3000
sam primetio da neki čovek čuči sa strane,
12:24
shirtless, not moving, and people were just stepping over him --
213
732000
4000
bez majice, ne pomera se, a ljudi samo prelaze preko njega --
12:29
hundreds and hundreds of people.
214
737000
1000
stotine i stotine ljudi.
12:31
And because my urban trance had been somehow weakened,
215
739000
3000
I pošto je moj urbani trans bio oslabljen,
12:35
I found myself stopping to find out what was wrong.
216
743000
3000
zastao sam da vidim šta nije u redu.
12:39
The moment I stopped, half a dozen other people
217
747000
2000
U momentu kad sam se zaustavio, još šestoro drugih ljudi
12:42
immediately ringed the same guy.
218
750000
1000
je primetilo tog čoveka.
12:44
And we found out that he was Hispanic, he didn't speak any English,
219
752000
2000
Saznali smo da je Hispano, nije uopšte znao engleski,
12:46
he had no money, he'd been wandering the streets for days, starving,
220
754000
5000
nije imao para, lutao je ulicama danima, izgladneo,
12:51
and he'd fainted from hunger.
221
759000
1000
i onesvestio se od gladi.
12:52
Immediately someone went to get orange juice,
222
760000
2000
U trenutku je neko doneo sok,
12:54
someone brought a hotdog, someone brought a subway cop.
223
762000
2000
neko je doneo hotdog, neko je pozvao policajca.
12:57
This guy was back on his feet immediately.
224
765000
3000
Čovek je ubrzo ponovo bio na nogama.
13:00
But all it took was that simple act of noticing,
225
768000
4000
A samo je bilo potrebno primetiti.
13:05
and so I'm optimistic.
226
773000
1000
I zato sam optimističan.
13:06
Thank you very much.
227
774000
1000
Hvala vam mnogo
13:07
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Daniel Goleman - PsychologistDaniel Goleman, psychologist and award-winning author of Emotional Intelligence and other books on EI, challenges traditional measures of intelligence as a predictor of life success.
Why you should listen
Daniel Goleman brought the notion of "EI" to prominence as an alternative to more traditional measures of IQ with his 1995 mega-best-seller Emotional Intelligence.
Since the publication of that book, conferences and academic institutes have sprung up dedicated to the idea. EI is taught in public schools, and corporate leaders have adopted it as a new way of thinking about success and leadership. EI, and one's "EIQ," can be an explanation of why some "average" people are incredibly successful, while "geniuses" sometimes fail to live up to their promise.
