about the size of a golf ball.

på størrelse med en golfbold.

23
61000

The price?
37
98000
2000
Prisen for dette?
01:55
$55,000,
38
100000
3000
55.000 dollars.
01:58
and that's an incredible deal.
39
103000
3000
Og det er en utrolig handel.
02:01
By now I know you're dying to know
40
106000
2000
Du kan sikkert ikke vente til at høre
02:03
what it is and where you can get one.
41
108000
3000
hvad det er og hvor du kan få en.
02:06
Does Amazon carry it?
42
111000
2000
Har Amazon det?
02:08
Does it have the Apple logo on it?
43
113000
2000
Har den Apple logoet på den?
02:10
Is there a waiting list?
44
115000
3000
Er der en venteliste?
02:13
Not likely.
45
118000
2000
Ikke sandsynligt.
02:15
This gift came to me about five months ago.
46
120000
3000
Jeg fik denne gave for 5 måneder siden.
02:18
It looked more like this when it was all wrapped up --
47
123000
2000
Det så mere ud som denne, da den var helt pakket ind --
02:20
not quite so pretty.
48
125000
2000
ikke særlig pæn.
02:23
And this,
49
128000
2000
Og det.
02:26
and then this.
50
131000
3000
Og så det.
02:29
It was a rare gem --
51
134000
2000
Det var en sjælden perle,
02:31
a brain tumor,
52
136000
2000
en hjernesvulst,
02:33
hemangioblastoma --
53
138000
3000
hemangioblastoma,
02:36
the gift that keeps on giving.
54
141000
3000
gaven der bliver ved med at give.
02:39
And while I'm okay now,
55
144000
2000
Og mens jeg er okay nu,
02:41
I wouldn't wish this gift for you.
56
146000
2000
ville jeg ikke ønske denne gave for dig.
02:43
I'm not sure you'd want it.
57
148000
2000
Jeg er ikke sikker på at du ville have den.
02:45
But I wouldn't change my experience.
58
150000
3000
Men jeg ville ikke ændre min erfaring.
02:48
It profoundly altered my life
59
153000
3000
For det ændrede mit liv markant,
02:51
in ways I didn't expect
60
156000
2000
på måder jeg ikke forventede
02:53
in all the ways I just shared with you.
61
158000
2000
på alle de måder jeg lige har delt med dig.
02:55
So the next time you're faced
62
160000
2000
Så næste gang du står ansigt til ansigt
02:57
with something that's unexpected,
63
162000
3000
med noget uventet,
03:00
unwanted and uncertain,
64
165000
3000
uønsket og usikkert,
03:03
consider
65
168000
2000
overvej,
03:05
that it just may be a gift.
66
170000
3000
at det måske er en gave.
03:08
(Applause)
