Vi ste više od onoga što mislite da ste, kaže bivši profesionalni rvač Maj Kinej. Morate samo da otkrijete ono što vas čini jedinstvenim i iskoristite to kao svoju prednost. Godinama je Kinej „razotkrivao“ delove sebe koji su ga učinili posebnim dok je stvorao i usavršavao svoju rvačku ličnost, Kauboja Gatora Margroa. U ovom duhovitom i mudrom govoru on prenosi znanje iz ringa u svakodnevni život, savetujući nas kako svi možemo da živimo sa vi[e samopouzdanja i dostignemo svoj puni potencijal.

I grew up watching professional wrestling
20
51224

Odrastao sam gledajući
profesionalno rvanje
profesionalno rvanje
01:05
with my dad.
21
53527
1178
sa svojim ocem.
01:07
And like him, I loved everything about it:
22
55252
2133
Poput njega, voleo sam sve vezano za to:
umešnost zabavljača, atletsku veštinu,
01:09
the showmanship, the athletic skill,
23
57409
2044
01:11
the drama.

01:13
I'd be this little boy, bouncing
all over our living room,

25
61062
3452
Bio sam dečak koji je skakao
po dnevnoj sobi,

glumeći svoje omiljene rvače sa TV-a.
01:16
pretending to be my favorite
wrestlers from TV.

26
64538
2560
01:19
My dad actually reminded me
a little bit of Hulk Hogan,

27
67530

Otac me je podsetio na Hulka Hogana,
ali sam ja bio Hulk Hogan,
a on Andre Ogromni.

01:22
but I was Hulk Hogan
and he was Andre the Giant.
and he was Andre the Giant.
28
70185

01:24
I'd get all serious on him
and say things like, "Dad ...

29
72764

Uozbiljio bih se i rekao
nešto poput: „Tata...

01:32
And he would usually smile
and very calmly say,

Uglavnom bi se nasmejao i mirno rekao:
01:36
"OK, then I guess I can count on you
to be my retirement fund."

32
84183

Kada sam imao 16 godina,
01:42
When I was 16,
34
90019
1155
malo rvačko takmičenje održalo se
u mom malom gradu u Minesoti.

01:43
a small wrestling show came
to my little town in Minnesota.

35
91198
2849
Nisam mogao da verujem.
01:46
I couldn't believe it.
36
94071
1170
Ništa slično se nikada ranije
nije održalo u mom mestu.
nije održalo u mom mestu.
01:47
Nothing like that had ever
come to my town before.
come to my town before.
37
95265
2616
Stoga sam ušao u arenu rano ujutru
na dan takmičenja,

01:49
So I got to the arena
early in the morning the day of the show,
early in the morning the day of the show,
38
97905
3057
01:52
waiting out in the parking lot
to see if I could spot some wrestlers

čekajuću na parkingu kako bih mogao
da vidim neke od rvača
da vidim neke od rvača
kako se parkiraju.
01:56
pulling up in their cars.
40
104249
1236
Nije bilo jezivo kao što zvuči.
01:58
It wasn't as creepy as it sounds.
41
106121
2263
02:01
But I could definitely tell
who the wrestlers were,
who the wrestlers were,
42
109229
2411
Ali sam definitivno mogao
da razaznam ko su bili rvači
da razaznam ko su bili rvači
02:03
just the way they walked.
43
111664
1230
na osnovu njihovog hoda.
02:04
They were tall and confident
and intimidating,
and intimidating,
44
112918
2184
Bili su visoki, samouvereni
i zastrašujući,
i zastrašujući,
sa svojim majicama, pantalonama
„Zubaz“ i pederušama.

02:07
with their tank tops
and Zubaz and fanny packs.

45
115126
3023
02:10
Why wouldn't I want to be them?
46
118733
1838
Zašto ne bih poželeo da budem poput njih?
02:12
(Laughter)
47
120595
1233
(Smeh)
Samo sam mislio na to
ko su ti ljudi i kakvi su.
ko su ti ljudi i kakvi su.
02:13
All I could think about
was who are these people,
was who are these people,
48
121852
2591
02:16
and what are they like?
49
124467
1450
Kako su postali rvači?
02:17
How did they become wrestlers?
50
125941
1720
Pre nego što je takmičenje počelo,
ušetao sam u malu arenu,
ušetao sam u malu arenu,
02:20
So before the show started,
51
128429
1286
02:21
I walked into this tiny arena --
52
129739
2267
koja je bila više poput fiskulturne sale,
02:24
more like a gymnasium --
53
132030
1789
i pitao ih da li mogu da pomognem
da nameste rvački ring.
da nameste rvački ring.
02:25
and I asked them if I could help
set up the wrestling ring.
set up the wrestling ring.
54
133843
2789
„Naravno, mali. Nema problema.“
02:28
"Sure, kid. No problem."
55
136656
1613
02:31
And then I pleaded with them
to show me some wrestling moves.
to show me some wrestling moves.
56
139203
3037
Zatim sam se nagodio sa njima
da mi pokažu neke rvačke pokrete.
da mi pokažu neke rvačke pokrete.
02:34
"Sure, kid. No problem."
57
142264
2338
„Naravno, mali. Nema problema.“
Čoveče, samo su me
pesničili i udarali - jako!
pesničili i udarali - jako!
02:37
Man, they would just punch
and kick me -- hard!
and kick me -- hard!
58
145074
2552
Ali, nikada se nisam žalio.
02:39
But I never complained.
59
147650
1817
Dolazili su u moj grad jednom
u nekoliko meseci te godine i onda - puf!
u nekoliko meseci te godine i onda - puf!
02:41
They would come to my town for one night
every couple of months that year,
every couple of months that year,
60
149491
3536
Sledećeg dana bi nestali.
02:45
and then -- poof! --
next day, they were gone.
next day, they were gone.
61
153051
2173
Sledeće godine su mi konačno rekli
za kamp za obuku rvača
za kamp za obuku rvača
02:47
By the next year,
62
155248
1158
02:48
they finally told me about an actual
wrestling training camp
wrestling training camp
63
156430
2865
koji je vodio jedan od rvača.
02:51
that one of the wrestlers was running,
64
159319
1827
Preklinjao sam svoje roditelje
da me prijave.
da me prijave.
02:53
and I begged my parents to sign me up.
65
161170
2351
Sledeće čega se sećam
je da sam bio maturant po danu
je da sam bio maturant po danu
02:55
Next thing I knew,
I was a high school senior by day
I was a high school senior by day
66
163545
2868
02:58
and wrestling in front of live
audiences by night.

67
166437

koji se rve ispred žive publike uveče.
Imao sam ogroman poster aligatora
na zidu svoje spavaće sobe.

03:01
I had this giant poster of an alligator
hanging on my bedroom wall.

68
169383
3592
Kada je trebalo da smislim
rvačko ime u poslednjem trenutku
rvačko ime u poslednjem trenutku
03:04
So when I needed to come up with
a wrestling name at the last minute
a wrestling name at the last minute
69
172999
3235
a Džes „Telo“ Ventura
je već bilo zauzeto -
je već bilo zauzeto -
03:08
and Jesse "The Body" Ventura
was already taken --
was already taken --
70
176258
2300
(Smeh)
03:10
(Laughter)
71
178582
1018
izmislio sam „Gejtor“.
03:11
I went with "Gator."
72
179624
1280
Takođe sam se rvao u majici
i kamuflažnim pantalonama
i kamuflažnim pantalonama
03:12
I also wrestled in a t-shirt
and camouflage pants
and camouflage pants
73
180928
2287
03:15
because that's what I had in my closet.
74
183239
2298
jer sam to imao u svom ormaru.
Nisam još uvek smislio
kako da razvijem svoju ličnost,
kako da razvijem svoju ličnost,
03:18
I hadn't quite figured out
how to develop my own persona yet,
how to develop my own persona yet,
75
186444
2896
ali sam učio.
03:21
but I was learning.
76
189364
1151
Bilo je to nešto poput prakse,
03:22
It was sort of like an apprenticeship.
77
190539
1834
ali sam bio rvač.
03:24
But I was a wrestler.
78
192397
1167
Otac mi je dolazio na sve mečeve
03:25
And my dad would come to all my matches
79
193588
1972
noseći majicu sa natpisom
„Tata Gejtor“ na grudima.
„Tata Gejtor“ na grudima.
03:27
wearing a t-shirt that said,
"Papa Gator" across the front.
"Papa Gator" across the front.
80
195584
2879
(Smeh)
03:30
(Laughter)
81
198487
1151
03:31
And he'd brag to his friends
82
199662
1338
Onda se hvalio prijateljima
03:33
about how his son was going to pay
for his retirement someday.
for his retirement someday.
83
201024
2964
kako će njegov sin
da plati njegovo penziono jednog dana.
da plati njegovo penziono jednog dana.
(Smeh)
03:36
(Laughter)
84
204012
1023
I uradio bih to.
03:37
And I would've.
85
205059
1383
Nedugo nakon što sam počeo sa rvanjem,
03:39
Not long after I started wrestling,
86
207768
1677
otac mi je iznenada preminuo.
03:41
my dad unexpectedly passed away.
87
209469
2058
Kao što možete da zamislite,
03:46
And as you can imagine,
88
214254
2125
posebno zato što sam bio tinejdžer,
03:48
especially as a teenage boy,
89
216403
2056
to me je dotuklo.
03:50
it destroyed me.
90
218483
1314
03:54
If you've ever lost someone,
91
222913
1422
Ako ste ikada izgubili nekoga
znate kako vremena mogu da budu teška.
znate kako vremena mogu da budu teška.
03:56
you know what a difficult
time that can be.
time that can be.
92
224359
2265
Vaš um ne radi pravilno.
03:58
Your mind -- it's not working right.
93
226648
2470
Čitava situacija je toliko nadrealna.
04:01
The whole thing is just so surreal.
94
229142
1740
04:05
I wanted to feel normal again,
even if it was for just a second,
even if it was for just a second,
95
233505
3168
Želeo sam da se ponovo osetim normalno,
čak i samo na trenutak,
čak i samo na trenutak,
pa sam se vratio rvanju
gotovo momentalno.
gotovo momentalno.
04:08
so I went back to wrestling
almost immediately.
almost immediately.
96
236697
2558
Rvanje je pripadalo meni i mom ocu, znate?
04:11
Wrestling belonged to me
and my dad, you know?
and my dad, you know?
97
239813
2443
I eto me
04:15
So there I was,
98
243278
1379
dok sedim u svlačionici,
04:16
sitting in the locker room,
99
244681
1345
spremajući se za meč
nekoliko dana nakon smrti mog oca.

04:18
getting ready for a match within days
of my dad passing away.
of my dad passing away.
100
246050
3329
04:22
He was gone.
101
250127
1199
Nije ga bilo više.
04:24
And sitting there alone --
102
252433
1808
Dok sam sedeo tamo sam
04:27
it felt like I was hiding.
103
255532
1314
osećao sam se kao da se skrivam,
ali sam osećao i da je trebalo
da budem tamo.
da budem tamo.
04:29
But it also felt like
I needed to be there.
I needed to be there.
104
257680
2207
Jedan od rvača koji je dugo bio na sceni
04:33
One of the wrestlers who'd been
on the scene a long time
on the scene a long time
105
261230
2690
znao je kroz šta prolazim
i prišao je da vidi kako se držim.
i prišao je da vidi kako se držim.
04:35
knew what I was going through,
106
263944
1459
04:37
and he came over to see
how I was holding up.
how I was holding up.
107
265427
2268
Nisam mogao ništa da izustim.
04:39
I couldn't get the words out.
108
267719
1676
Samo sam rekao: „Ne znam šta radim.“
04:41
I just said, "I don't know
what I'm doing."
what I'm doing."
109
269419
2866
I samo smo sedeli tamo u tišini;
04:45
And then we just sat there in silence --
110
273381
1992
samo...tišina.
04:47
just ... silence.
111
275397
1601
Pre nego što se spremio
za svoj meč, dao mi je savet
za svoj meč, dao mi je savet
04:51
Before he got up to get ready
for his own match,
for his own match,
112
279123
2259
04:53
he gave me this piece of advice
113
281406
1516
koji mi je promenio čitav pravac života.
04:54
that would change the entire
direction of my life.
direction of my life.
114
282946
2598
Rekao mi je da su najbolji rvači
apslutno svoji, ali „razotkriveni“.
apslutno svoji, ali „razotkriveni“.
04:57
He told me the best wrestlers
are just themselves, but "turned up."
are just themselves, but "turned up."
115
285568
4216
05:03
He said successful wrestlers
find the traits within themselves
find the traits within themselves
116
291058
3380
Rekao mi je da najbolji rvači
nalaze najsnažnije osobine u sebi
nalaze najsnažnije osobine u sebi
05:06
they're the strongest at
117
294462
1318
i čine ih ključnim
za ono što postaju u ringu.
za ono što postaju u ringu.
05:07
and make those the focus
of who they become in the ring.
of who they become in the ring.
118
295804
2865
Tako sam sedeo tamo,
05:11
So there I sat --
119
299902
1459
uplašeni tinejdžer koji nije znao ko je
05:13
a scared teenager
who didn't know who he was
who didn't know who he was
120
301385
2071
ili zašto se više uopšte rvao.
05:15
or why he was even wrestling anymore.
121
303480
2139
Obišao sam svlačionicu
u potrazi za drugim rvačima i pomislio:
u potrazi za drugim rvačima i pomislio:
05:18
I looked around the locker room
at some of the other wrestlers,
at some of the other wrestlers,
122
306375
2997
„Izgledam potpuno drugačije.
Kako bih ikada mogao da budem kao oni?“
Kako bih ikada mogao da budem kao oni?“
05:21
and I thought,
123
309396
1174
05:22
"I look so different.
How can I ever be like them?"
How can I ever be like them?"
124
310594
2516
I onda sam shvatio.
05:25
And then it hit me.
125
313826
1166
To je momenat kada sam shvatio
da ne moram da budem poput njih.
da ne moram da budem poput njih.
05:27
That's the moment I realized
I didn't have to be like them.
I didn't have to be like them.
126
315422
2941
05:31
What I did have to do was find out:
What did it mean to be me?
What did it mean to be me?
127
319269
2950
Ono što je trebalo da shvatim
je šta znači biti ja.
je šta znači biti ja.
05:34
What made me unique,
128
322699
1622
Šta me čini jedinstvenim
i kako bih mogao da iskoristim to
kao svoju prednost?
kao svoju prednost?
05:36
and how could I use it to my advantage?
129
324345
1864
05:39
I knew I wasn't a chiseled athlete
like some of these guys,
like some of these guys,
130
327005
2814
Znao sam da nisam izvajani atletičar
poput tih momaka, ali me nije bilo briga.
poput tih momaka, ali me nije bilo briga.
05:41
but I really didn't care.
131
329843
1290
Prvo što sam pomislio bilo je:
05:43
So the first thing I thought was,
132
331157
1585
„Kako mogu da uvećam
nešto toliko jednostavno
nešto toliko jednostavno
05:44
"How can I amplify something as simple
as: comfortable with my own body?"
as: comfortable with my own body?"
133
332766
3789
kao što je osećati se ugodno
u sopstvenom telu?“
u sopstvenom telu?“
Nisam znao.
05:49
I didn't know.
134
337370
1150
Zatim sam pomislio:
05:51
And then I thought:
135
339121
1388
„Spido.“
05:53
Speedo.
136
341353
1165
(Smeh)
05:54
(Laughter)
137
342542
2598
05:57
(Applause)
138
345649
4362
(Aplauz)
Ili „gaćice“, kako smo ih zvali u rvanju.
06:04
Or "trunks,"
139
352635
1150
06:05
as we call them in wrestling.
140
353809
1403
Da, gaćice.
06:07
Yeah, trunks.
141
355904
1150
Mogao sam da budem krupni lik
06:09
I could be this big guy
142
357078
1160
koji se osećao ugodno
noseći te tesne gaćice
noseći te tesne gaćice
06:10
who was comfortable
wearing these little trunks
wearing these little trunks
143
358262
2251
ispred gomile stranaca.
06:12
in front of a bunch of strangers.
144
360537
1592
Skinuo sam majicu
i kamuflažne pantalone
i kamuflažne pantalone
06:14
So I ditched the t-shirt
and camouflage pants,
and camouflage pants,
145
362153
2163
i Gejtorova nova odeća je stvorena.
06:16
and Gator's new wardrobe was born.
146
364340
1746
(Smeh)
06:18
(Laughter)
147
366110
1353
Bio sam prilično dobar u crtanju stripova,
pa sam razmišljao kako da i to iskoristim.
pa sam razmišljao kako da i to iskoristim.
06:19
I was also pretty good
at drawing cartoons,
at drawing cartoons,
148
367487
2075
06:21
so I wondered if I could turn that up.
149
369586
1874
Mogao sam da dizajniram
svoje kostime za rvanje,
svoje kostime za rvanje,
06:23
I could design my own wrestling costumes,
150
371869
2398
pa je svaki par gaćica imao
jedinstveni dizajn i boju,
jedinstveni dizajn i boju,
06:26
so each pair of trunks would have
its own unique design and color,
its own unique design and color,
151
374291
3248
i svaki od njih je bio potpuno drugačiji
06:29
all of them completely different --
152
377563
2173
i pri tom izuzetno udoban.
06:31
and extremely comfortable, by the way.
153
379760
2102
(Smeh)
06:33
(Laughter)
154
381886
1150
Bio sam i smešan klinac u školi,
06:35
And I was also the funny kid in school,
155
383672
1938
verovali ili ne.
06:37
believe it or not.
156
385634
1150
Stoga sam pomislio
da možda i to mogu da iskoristim.
da možda i to mogu da iskoristim.
06:39
So I thought maybe I could turn that up.
157
387198
2037
Možda bih mogao da se iz momka
koji je zasmejavao svoje drugare pretvorim
koji je zasmejavao svoje drugare pretvorim
06:41
Maybe I could go from the boy
who made his buddies laugh
who made his buddies laugh
158
389840
3888
u čoveka koji može da zasmejava
stotine i hiljade ljudi.
stotine i hiljade ljudi.
06:45
to the man who could rally
hundreds or thousands.
hundreds or thousands.
159
393752
3034
Stoga sam se posvetio ideji
06:48
So I committed to the idea
160
396810
1287
da moj lik neće biti strašan
kao neki drugi likovi.
kao neki drugi likovi.
06:50
that my character wasn't going to be
as scary as some of the others.
as scary as some of the others.
161
398121
3271
Bio sam urnebesan od momenta
ulaska u arenu.
ulaska u arenu.
06:53
I'd be hilarious from the moment
I walked into the arena.
I walked into the arena.
162
401416
2816
Sa svakom daljom borbom
više sam se razvijao.
više sam se razvijao.
06:56
With every wrestling match, I dug deeper.
163
404256
2308
Otkrio sam da mogu
da se podsmevam sebi.
da se podsmevam sebi.
06:59
I found out that I could laugh at myself.
164
407140
2003
Ovaj momak je igrao i pevao
svoju muzičku tačku sve do ringa.
svoju muzičku tačku sve do ringa.
07:01
So this guy would dance
and sing his entrance music
and sing his entrance music
165
409167
2414
07:03
all the way to the ring.
166
411605
1513
Inače, to je bio ples.
07:05
That was dancing, by the way.
167
413142
1630
(Smeh)
07:06
(Laughter)
168
414796
1317
Otkrio sam da sam solidan rvač,
07:08
I found out that I was an OK wrestler,
169
416137
1827
ali da sam još bolji zabavljač.
07:09
but I was an even better entertainer.
170
417988
1834
Moje preusmeravanje učinilo je
da sam postao nezaboravan za fanove.
da sam postao nezaboravan za fanove.
07:11
And turning myself up made me
unforgettable to the fans.
unforgettable to the fans.
171
419846
3062
Pokušavao sam
da otkrijem te stvari o sebi,
da otkrijem te stvari o sebi,
07:14
I was trying to find
those things about me --
those things about me --
172
422932
2179
jednostavne stvari koje su bile posebne,
07:17
the simple things that were special,
173
425135
1830
a zatim da se zapitam:
„Kako mogu da ih razotkrijem?“
„Kako mogu da ih razotkrijem?“
07:18
and then ask, "How can I turn them up?"
174
426989
2260
07:21
Now, I knew I wanted my character
to be a man's man like my dad was.
to be a man's man like my dad was.
175
429884
3678
Znao sam da sam želeo da moj lik bude
pravi muškarac kakav je moj otac bio.
pravi muškarac kakav je moj otac bio.
07:25
I thought, "What's more
of a man's man than a cowboy?"
of a man's man than a cowboy?"
176
433586
4235
Pitao sam se:
„Šta je muževnije od kauboja?“
„Šta je muževnije od kauboja?“
07:30
And that's when Gator became
"Cowboy" ... Gator ...
"Cowboy" ... Gator ...
177
438427
4222
I tu je Gejtor postao Kauboj Gejtor...
Da, trebalo mi je prezime.
07:35
Yeah, I needed a last name.
178
443865
1452
Razmišljao sam o tome
dok me glava nije zabolela.
dok me glava nije zabolela.
07:37
I thought about it until my head hurt.
I couldn't come up with anything.
I couldn't come up with anything.
179
445770
3416
Ništa nisam mogao da smislim.
07:41
I'm sitting there watching TV one night,
flipping through the channels,
flipping through the channels,
180
449210
3370
Sedim i gledam TV
jedne noći, listajući kanale,
jedne noći, listajući kanale,
i pojavljuje se reklama o kantri pevaču
07:44
and this commercial comes on
181
452604
1348
07:45
about a country singer who had just won
an Entertainer of the Year award.
an Entertainer of the Year award.
182
453976
3456
koji je upravo osvojio
nagradu Zabavljača godine.
nagradu Zabavljača godine.
Tim Mekgra.
On je kul kauboj sa sjajnim prezimenom.
I sviđala mi se njegova muzika.
I sviđala mi se njegova muzika.
07:49
Tim McGraw.
183
457456
1158
07:50
He's a cool cowboy with a great last name.
184
458638
2007
07:52
And I liked his music.
185
460669
1175
Sve je to bilo deo mog procesa,
07:53
It was just all part of my process.
186
461868
2007
ali sam nastavio da se preusmeravam
07:55
But I just kept turning myself up
187
463899
1735
dok nisam postao Kauboj Gejtor Mekgra!
07:57
until I became Cowboy Gator Magraw!
188
465658
3934
08:02
(Laughter)
189
470304
1323
(Smeh)
08:04
(Applause)
190
472224
3295
(Aplauz)
Znao sam, ako nastavim da se razotkrivam
08:10
And I knew that if I kept
turning myself up
turning myself up
191
478351
3506
i da se više trudim,
08:13
and pushing myself harder,
192
481881
1509
prilike će same doći.
08:15
the opportunities would come.
193
483414
1422
I onda se to konačno dogodilo.
08:17
And then it finally happened.
194
485971
1471
08:20
In the middle of the night,
195
488093
1378
Usred noći sam primio poziv.
08:21
I got a phone call.
196
489495
1306
08:24
It was the call I wish
my dad was around to hear.
my dad was around to hear.
197
492235
2618
Bio je to razgovor koji sam želeo
da je moj otac mogao da čuje.
da je moj otac mogao da čuje.
08:28
The WWE,
198
496415
1660
WWE,
08:30
the biggest wrestling
organization in the world,
organization in the world,
199
498099
2740
najveća rvačka organizacija na svetu
želela je da dođem
i budem deo Primarne sile.
i budem deo Primarne sile.
08:32
wanted me to come and be a part
of Monday Night Raw.
of Monday Night Raw.
200
500863
3548
Da, sav moj naporni rad i kilometri
pređenog puta su se konačno isplatili.
pređenog puta su se konačno isplatili.
08:36
Yes -- all of my hard work and miles
on the road were finally paying off.
on the road were finally paying off.
201
504435
5121
Dobio sam priliku da prošetam
do ulazne rampe Primarne sile
do ulazne rampe Primarne sile
08:42
I got to walk down the WWE Raw
entrance ramp on live television --
entrance ramp on live television --
202
510140
5012
uživo na televiziji -
(Smeh)
08:47
(Laughter)
203
515176
1150
08:49
dressed up as a fake security guard --
204
517046
2772
obučen kao lažno obezbeđenje
(Smeh)
08:51
(Laughter)
205
519842
1008
da ispratim drugog rvača do ringa.
08:52
to escort another wrestler to the ring.
206
520874
1953
(Smeh)
08:54
(Laughter)
207
522851
1603
Svakako da sam bio razočaran
što se nisam rvao,
što se nisam rvao,
08:57
Sure, I was disappointed
I didn't get to wrestle,
I didn't get to wrestle,
208
525264
2362
ali samo nekoliko rvača dobije
neku vrstu poziva od WWA-a.
neku vrstu poziva od WWA-a.
08:59
but very few wrestlers get
any kind of call from the WWE.
any kind of call from the WWE.
209
527650
2913
Možda jedan u nekoliko stotina.
09:02
Maybe one in a few hundred.
210
530587
1867
09:05
And becoming Cowboy Gator Magraw
is what got me there.
is what got me there.
211
533255
2908
A to što sam postao Kauboj
Gejtor Mekgra me je dovelo tamo.
Gejtor Mekgra me je dovelo tamo.
Umesto da sam otišao tog dana,
09:08
So instead of walking away that day,
212
536949
2760
odlučio sam da se ponovo razotkrijem
09:11
I decided to turn myself up again
213
539733
1941
i postanem najbolje obezbeđenje
koje sam mogao biti.
koje sam mogao biti.
09:13
and become the best
security guard I could.
security guard I could.
214
541698
2172
Zapravo sam toliko dobro to odradio
09:16
In fact, I did it so well,
215
544232
1500
09:17
I was the only guard to get
a close-up on TV that night.
a close-up on TV that night.
216
545756
2743
da sam bio jedini član obezbeđenja
koji je toliko bio blizu kameri te noći.
koji je toliko bio blizu kameri te noći.
09:21
That's a big deal, you know?
217
549725
1653
To je velika stvar, zar ne?
09:23
(Laughter)
218
551402
1225
(Smeh)
09:26
And I got to sit backstage that entire day
219
554503
2394
Mogao sam da sedim u bekstejdžu celog dana
sa nekim od najpoznatijih
profesionalnih rvača sveta,
profesionalnih rvača sveta,
09:28
with some of the most famous
pro wrestlers in the world,
pro wrestlers in the world,
220
556921
2698
od kojih su neki bili heroji
iz mog detinjstva.
iz mog detinjstva.
09:31
some of which were heroes
of mine as a kid.
of mine as a kid.
221
559643
2093
09:33
And I got to listen to them
and learn from them,
and learn from them,
222
561760
2803
Mogao sam da ih slušam i učim od njih,
i tog dana
09:36
and for that day,
223
564587
2026
09:38
I was accepted as one of them.
224
566637
1820
bio sam prihvaćen kao jedan od njih.
Možda moje iskustvo
sa WWE-om nije bilo idealno.
sa WWE-om nije bilo idealno.
09:41
Maybe my experience
with the WWE wasn't ideal.
with the WWE wasn't ideal.
225
569831
2779
Mislim, nisam se rvao.
09:44
I mean, I didn't get to wrestle.
226
572634
1689
Ali mi je pomoglo da još napornije radim,
09:46
But it made me work harder,
227
574838
2398
razotkrivajući se sve glasnije
iz godine u godinu,
iz godine u godinu,
09:49
turning myself up louder year after year.
228
577260
2771
Postao sam najveća verzija sebe u ringu,
09:52
I was becoming the biggest
version of myself in the ring,
version of myself in the ring,
229
580055
3038
a drugi ljudi su to primetili.
09:55
and other people took notice.
230
583117
1604
Pre nego što sam shvatio,
09:57
Before I knew it,
231
585411
1238
stigao sam od rvanja
jednom mesečno u Minesoti
jednom mesečno u Minesoti
09:58
I'd gone from wrestling
maybe once a month in Minnesota
maybe once a month in Minnesota
232
586673
2930
do četiri puta nedeljno
širom Sjedinjenih Država
širom Sjedinjenih Država
10:01
to as often as four times a week
all over the United States
all over the United States
233
589627
2924
na nezavisne rvačke turneje.
10:04
on the independent wrestling circuit.
234
592575
2148
Doslovno sam živeo svoj san.
10:06
I was literally living my dream.
235
594747
1880
10:11
While wrestling over the next few years,
236
599131
2024
Dok sam se rvao narednih nekoliko godina
patio sam od prilično teške povrede ramena
10:13
I suffered a pretty bad shoulder injury
237
601179
1906
10:15
right around the same time
my wife and I found out
my wife and I found out
238
603109
2369
u isto vreme kada smo
moja supruga i ja shvatili
moja supruga i ja shvatili
da očekujemo svoje prvo dete.
10:17
that we were expecting our first child.
239
605502
1901
Znam šta mislite,
10:19
I know what you're thinking,
240
607427
1343
ali verujte mi kada kažem
da su ta dva događaja potpuno nepovezana.
da su ta dva događaja potpuno nepovezana.
10:20
but believe me when I say
those two events are completely unrelated.
those two events are completely unrelated.
241
608794
3274
(Smeh)
10:24
(Laughter)
242
612092
3242
10:30
But I needed shoulder surgery,
243
618168
3104
Trebala mi je operacija ramena,
a ja sam želeo da ostanem
kod kuće sa porodicom.
kod kuće sa porodicom.
10:33
and I wanted to be home with my family.
244
621296
1936
Bio je moj red da budem otac.
10:35
It was my turn to be a dad.
245
623763
1513
10:38
So on July 27, 2007,
246
626383
3155
Dvadeset sedmog jula 2007. godine,
rvao sam se u svojoj poslednjoj borbi
10:41
I wrestled my final match,
247
629562
1918
10:43
and walked away
from professional wrestling
from professional wrestling
248
631504
2022
i otišao iz profesionalnog rvanja
da bih otvorio naredno
poglavlje svog života.
poglavlje svog života.
10:45
to pursue the next chapter of my life.
249
633550
1833
10:48
And as time passed,
250
636268
1210
Kako je vreme prolazilo, najčudnije stvari
počele su da se dešavaju.
počele su da se dešavaju.
10:49
the strangest thing started to happen.
251
637502
1934
Shvatio sam da, kada se neko pojavi,
10:51
I found out that once someone
has been turned up,
has been turned up,
252
639814
2355
prilično je teško da ih ignorišete.
10:54
it's pretty hard to turn them down.
253
642193
1830
Napustio sam ring,
ali je Gejtor ostao u meni
ali je Gejtor ostao u meni
10:57
I left the ring but Gator stayed with me,

And by the way --
she does not like pro wrestling.

257

Like, at all.

Uopšte.
Ali, uvek je bila
moja najveća obožavateljka.

But she was always my biggest fan.

Još uvek je.

She still is.

Zna da će uvek postojati
neki deo Gejtora Mekraua ovde

11:16
She knows there's always going to be
some part of Gator Magraw in here,
some part of Gator Magraw in here,
262
664621
3421
i želi da naša ćerka
i blizanci otkriju sebe

11:20
and she wants our daughter and twin sons
to discover themselves

263
668066
3024
na način na koji sam i ja,
11:23
the way that I did,
264
671114
1159
ali verovatno sa manje modrica na telu
i udaraca od čelične stolice o glavu.

11:24
but probably with fewer body slams
and steel chair shots to the head.

Da li znate koliko je puta
morala da podseti

11:27
I mean, do you know how many times
she's had to remind me

266
675616
2691
da ne napadam sudije
na fudbalskoj utakmici svog sina?

Desilo se samo jednom,
11:34
I mean, it was just the one time,
269
682138
1604
i moja ćerka je bila očigledno faulirana!
11:35
and my daughter was clearly fouled!

(Smeh)
11:37
(Laughter)

As a parent now, I've begun to realize
that my dad wanted something

272
688608
3247
Kao roditelj, počeo sam da shvatam
da je moj otac želeo nešto
da je moj otac želeo nešto
mnogo vrednije od penzionog fonda.
11:43
much more valuable than a retirement fund.
273
691879
2189
Poput mnogih očeva,
11:46
Like most parents,
274
694092
1282
11:47
he just wanted his kids
to reach their fullest potential.

samo je želeo da njegova deca
dostignu svoj najveći potencijal.

Pokušavam da učim svoju decu
11:50
I'm trying to teach my children
276
698888
1551
da razotkrivanje sebe nije neka
savršena ideja kako biti sjajan,
savršena ideja kako biti sjajan,
11:52
that turning yourself up is just not some
perfect idea of how to be great,
perfect idea of how to be great,
277
700463
3621
11:56
it's a way of living --
278
704108
1697
već da je to način življenja,
11:57
constantly looking
for what makes you different
for what makes you different
279
705829
2273
neprekidno traženje
onoga što vas čini različitim

12:00
and how you can amplify it
for the world to see.

280
708126
2304
i kako možete to da pojačate
da i svet to vidi.

Inače, ni moja deca ne vole rvanje.
12:02
And by the way, my kids
don't like wrestling, either.

1110
Ali, ja se slažem sa time,
12:06
But that's OK with me,
283
714963
1168
jer svako od njih ima svoje
posebne talente koji mogu da se razotkriju
posebne talente koji mogu da se razotkriju
12:08
because they each have their own
unique talents that can be turned up

284
716155

kao i kod svih nas.
12:11
just like the rest of us.

Jedan od moji sinova
čini čuda sa elektronikom.

12:12
My one son -- he's a whiz at electronics.

Možda bi pomoć da se razotkrije
učinila da postane sledeći Stiv Džobs.

12:15
So maybe helping him turn up
makes him become the next Steve Jobs.

Moj drugi sin i ćerka
su sjajni u umetnosti,

12:20
My other son and my daughter --
they're great at art,

288
728062
2769
pa bi možda razotkrivanje
njihovih talenata

12:22
so maybe helping them turn up their gifts
289
730855
2057
pomoglo da postanu sledeći Pablo Pikaso.
12:24
helps them become the next Pablo Picasso.
290

Nikada ne znate za šta ste sposobni
12:28
You never know what
you have the ability to do

And don't be afraid
to put yourself out there.

293
740669
2221
Pogledajte oko sebe.

I mean, look around.

742914
1154
Kažu da, ako se unervozite ispred publike,
12:36
They say that if you get nervous
in front of an audience,
in front of an audience,
295
744092
2695
samo ih zamislite u donjem vešu.
12:38
just imagine them in their underwear.
296
746811
1967
Tada pomislim: „Hej, pa ja sam se rvao
sa manje stvari na sebi.“

12:40
But then I think, "Hey,
I've wrestled in less."

Razotkrivanje sebe znači gledati
