When I was 14 years old,

我係十四歲嘅時候，
00:24
I had low self-esteem.
1
12015
2633
我好自卑。
00:26
I felt I was not talented at anything.
2
14648
4452
我覺得我冇任何嘅天份。
00:31
One day, I bought a yo-yo.
3
19100
3771
有一日，我買咗個搖搖。
00:34
When I tried my first trick, it looked like this.
4
22871
3997
當我嚐試我第一個花樣嘅時候，它睇起唻好似咁。
00:45
I couldn't even do the simplest trick,
5
33390
2965
我連最簡單的花樣都唔識，
00:48
but it was very natural for me,
6
36355
2387
不過呢個對我唻講係好自然嘅事，
00:50
because I was not dextrous, and hated all sports.
7
38742
4545
因為我手腳唔靈活，而且好憎運動。
00:55
But after one week of practicing,
8
43287
3035
但係，經過一個禮拜嘅練習之後，
00:58
my throws became more like this.
9
46322
3236
我del出唻嘅比較似咁。
01:06
A bit better.
10
54119
2780
好咗d。
01:08
I thought, the yo-yo is something for me to be good at,
11
56899
3716
我覺得，係我嘅人生中，遙遙係我第一個
01:12
for the first time in my life.
12
60615
2674
令我覺得我會做得好嘅嘢。
01:15
I found my passion.
13
63289
3154
我搵到我嘅熱情。
01:18
I was spending all my time practicing.
14
66443
3406
我用唒我所有嘅時間係個練習度。
01:21
It took me hours and hours a day
15
69849
2181
我一日要花好幾粒鐘先至可以
01:24
to build my skills up to the next level.
16
72030
2803
將我嘅技能升上另一級。
01:26
And then, four years later, when I was 18 years old,
17
74833
4783
跟住，四年之後，我十八歲，
01:31
I was standing onstage at the World Yo-Yo Contest.
18
79616
3733
我企係世界遙遙比賽嘅舞台上。
01:35
And I won.
19
83349
1283
我仲贏咗。
01:36
I was so excited. "Yes, I did it! I became a hero.
20
84632
3623
我嗰陣時好興奮。「耶！我掂咗！我係英雄。
01:40
I may get many sponsors, a lot of money,
21
88255
2789
我會有好多贊助商、好多錢、
01:43
tons of interviews, and be on TV!" I thought. (Laughter)
22
91044
4556
好多訪問，甚至乎上電視！」我當時係咁諗。(笑)
01:47
But after coming back to Japan,
23
95600
3026
但係返到日本之後，
01:50
totally nothing changed in my life.
24
98626
4310
我嘅人生完全冇改變到。
01:54
I realized society didn't value my passion.
25
102936
5051
我發現個社會並唔重視我嘅勢情。
01:59
So I went back to my college
26
107987
2643
所以，我返去學校，
02:02
and became a typical Japanese worker
27
110630
2048
並且成為咗日本典型勞工--
02:04
as a systems engineer.
28
112678
2456
一名系統工程師。
02:07
I felt my passion, heart and soul, had left my body.
29
115134
6218
我發覺我嗰熱情、心同埋靈魂都離開咗我嘅肉體。
02:13
I felt I was not alive anymore.
30
121352
2854
我覺得我死咗。
02:16
So I started to consider what I should do,
31
124206
3963
跟住我就開始諗我究竟應該點做，
02:20
and I thought, I wanted to make my performance better,
32
128169
4249
我想將我嘅表演表演得再好d，
02:24
and to show onstage how spectacular the yo-yo could be
33
132418
4637
跟住上台表演俾大家睇吓遙遙好可幾咁精彩以
02:29
to change the public's image of the yo-yo.
34
137055
4106
改變遙遙嘅公眾形象。
02:33
So I quit my company
35
141161
2713
所以，我辭咗我間公司，
02:35
and started a career as a professional performer.
36
143874
3902
並且開始咗表演家嘅職業。
02:39
I started to learn classic ballet, jazz dance,
37
147776
3278
我開始學習古典芭蕾舞、爵士舞、
02:43
acrobatics and other things
38
151054
1974
雜技，同埋其他
02:45
to make my performance better.
39
153028
2492
可以令到我表演更加出眾嘅嘢。
02:47
As a result of these efforts, and the help of many others,
40
155520
3176
我努力嘅結果，加埋好多其他嘢嘅幫助之下，
02:50
it happened.
41
158696
2260
它終於發生勒。
02:52
I won the World Yo-Yo Contest again
42
160956
2147
我再一次贏咗世界遙遙大賽，
02:55
in the artistic performance division.
43
163103
2194
今次係藝術表演項目。
02:57
I passed an audition for Cirque du Soleil.
44
165297
3296
我過咗太陽馬戲團嘅面試。
03:00
Today, I am standing on the TED stage
45
168593

今日，我企係TED嘅舞台上，
03:04

03:07
(Applause)
47
175705
3838
(掌聲)
03:11
What I learned from the yo-yo is,
48
179543
2859
我從遙遙上高學到嘅係
03:14
if I make enough effort with huge passion,
49
182402
5037
如果我盡自己所能、並且熱愛我所做嘅嘢，
03:19
there is no impossible.
50
187439
2299
冇嘢係冇可能嘅。
03:21

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!
