Susan Robinson, kellel on kaasasündinud ravimatu geneetiline nägemispuue, on ametlikult pime (või piiratud nägemisega, nagu ta ise eelistab öelda), teisisõnu, ta kvalifitseerub “puudega” inimeseks, kuigi ta ise sellist sildistamist südamest põlgab.
Selles humoorikas ja väga isiklikus kõnes puudutab särav Susan Robinson puuetega inimeste kohta käivaid eelarvamusi ja annab viis nõuannet, kuidas need puudest tulenevate eeldatavate piirangutega seotud ootused pea peale pöörata.

I'd like to introduce you to my mom.

Tahaksin teile tutvustada oma ema.

(Naer)
00:20
I'm guessing that's not what you expected,
2
8920
3096
Ilmselt ei ole päris see, mida ootasite,
00:24
and it's not what I expected either,
3
12040
1976
ega mina ka mitte.
00:26
and thank goodness I realized
that an Asian man was not my mom
that an Asian man was not my mom
4
14040
4456
Ja jumal tänatud, et tabasin ära,
et see Aasia mees polegi mu ema,
et see Aasia mees polegi mu ema,
00:30
before I hugged him,
5
18520
2096
enne kui teda kallistama läksin,
00:32
because that would have been so awkward.
6
20640
2720
sest see oleks nii piinlik olnud.
00:36
Recognizing people
isn't one of my strengths

Inimeste äratundmine ei kuulu
mu tugevuste hulka,

nägemispuue, mis on ravimatu.
nägemispuue, mis on ravimatu.
00:44
As a result, I am legally blind,
9
32759
2937
Seetõttu olen ma ametlikult pime,
kuigi eelistan nimetust
“osalise nägemisega”
“osalise nägemisega”
00:47
though I prefer "partially sighted"
because it's more optimistic.
because it's more optimistic.
10
35720
3696
sest see on optimistlikum.
00:51
(Laughter)
11
39440
1616
(Naer)
Mul on õigus nimetada ennast
"puudega inimeseks"
"puudega inimeseks"
00:53
And I'm entitled to the label "disabled."
12
41080
3840
Ma vihkan, et inimesi liigitatakse
”puudega inimesteks”.
”puudega inimesteks”.
00:58
I hate the word disabled
when it's used to describe people.
when it's used to describe people.
13

3400
See rõhutab puudulikkust
01:03
It detonates a mindset of less than
14
51120
3440
01:07
that utterly disregards capacity,
15
55360
2896
jättes täiesti kõrvale inimese
suutlikkuse, oskused ja potentsiaali
suutlikkuse, oskused ja potentsiaali
01:10
ability, potential,
16
58280
1840
seades selle asemel esikohale
01:12
instead prioritizing brokenness
17
60920
3120
tema mittetoimimise ja vajaku.
01:16
and lack.
18
64800
1200
01:19
The perspective can be overt.
19
67520
2240
Selline suhtumine võib olla päris avalik:
01:23
What can't he do for himself
that I'm going to have to do for him?
that I'm going to have to do for him?
20
71320
3120
“Mida kõike ma tema eest
ära tegema pean hakkama?”
ära tegema pean hakkama?”
01:27
She'll probably need some accommodation

2096
"Ta vajab kindlasti eritingimusi,
mida ükski teine selle firma
töötaja ei vaja.”

Sometimes, the hidden bias
23
81600
2600
Teinekord on see varjatud eelarvamus
väga võluvalt looritatud:
01:37
is so sweetly conveyed.
24
85120
1720

"Wow, Susan,

88440

"Vau, Susan,
sa oled oma elus ja
töös nii kaugele jõudnud!

How did you do all of that

Kuidas sa seda kõike suutsid,
olles tõsise nägemispuudega?”

01:51
(Laughter)
28
99880

(Naer)
Mul ei tule see puudega
inimeseks olemine üldse välja.
inimeseks olemine üldse välja.
01:56
I fail at being disabled.

(Laughter)
30
107320

(Naer)
02:00
So in the spirit of incentivizing
the rampant failure

31
108720
3336
Õhutamaks kõiki maailma inimesi
suurejooneliselt ebaõnnestuma
02:04
of people all over the world
32
112080
2296
02:06
and enticing the so-called normal
to just give it a rest already,
to just give it a rest already,
33
114400
5536
ja ahvatlemaks nn normaalsust
sellega lõpuks ära harjuma,
sellega lõpuks ära harjuma,
02:11
here are five tips
34
119960
1936
jagan teiega viit nippi,
kuidas üle olla sellest sildist “puudega”.
02:13
to fail at being disabled.
35
121920
3040
Esimene nipp:
02:18
Tip one:
36
126120
1416
tunne oma supervõimeid.
02:19
know your superpowers.
37
127560
1479
02:21
The best team I ever led in my career
38
129639
2777
Parim tiim, mida ma juhtinud olen,
02:24
was based on superpowers,
39
132440
2016
tegutses tänu oma supervõimetele,
02:26
and we even gave ourselves
fancy-pantsy titles
fancy-pantsy titles
40
134480
2656
võtsime endale isegi väga peened nimed
02:29
like "the Pillar of Masterly Acumen."
41
137160
3080
nagu “Tarkusesammas"
“Suhkrusai"
02:33
"The Biscuit Butterer."
42
141600
1856
02:35
(Laughter)
43
143480
1616
(Naer)
02:37
"The Voice of Reason."
44
145120
1240
"Mõistuse hääl"
02:39
Because we relied on our strengths,
45
147360
2776
Kuna toetusime oma tugevustele,
oma parimatele külgedele,
02:42
our best strengths,
46
150160
2256
suutsime saavutada uskumatuid tulemusi.
02:44
we achieved tremendous outcomes.
47
152440
2200
02:48
The trait that prevents me
from recognizing my mom
from recognizing my mom
48
156640
3296
Seesama omadus, mille tõttu
ma ei tunne ära oma ema,
ma ei tunne ära oma ema,
02:51
allows me to smoothly adapt,
49
159960
2856
võimaldab mul kiirelt kohaneda,
02:54
to quickly absorb and accurately process
an exhausting volume of cues,
an exhausting volume of cues,
50
162840
5816
kiiresti võtta vastu ja
töödelda meeletut kogust infot
töödelda meeletut kogust infot
leida üles see, mis on oluline,
03:00
tease out what's important,
51
168680
1896
näha ükskõik millises olukorras
erinevaid protsesse ja võimalusi
erinevaid protsesse ja võimalusi
03:02
determine multiple processes or potentials
for any situation that I'm in,
for any situation that I'm in,
52
170600
5056
ja valida välja neist kõige mõistlikum.
03:07
and then select the one
that makes the most sense,
that makes the most sense,
53
175680
2960
Ja kõike vaid mõne hetkega.
03:11
all in a matter of seconds.
54
179680
1480
03:14
I see what other people do not.
55
182240
3000
Näen asju, mida teised inimesed ei näe.
03:18
Some people think that's a superpower,
56
186040
1810
Mõned peavad seda supervõimeks,
aga mu tõeliseks supervõimeks on hoopis
03:20
but my real superpowers
57
188800
1520
klaasseintelt tagasipõrkumine --
03:23
are ricocheting off of glass walls --
58
191320
2096
03:25
(Laughter)
59
193440
1496
(Naer)
03:26
and letting my friends
walk around with kale in their teeth.
walk around with kale in their teeth.
60
194960
3136
ja sõprade hammastel roheliste
salatiliblede mittemärkamine
salatiliblede mittemärkamine
03:30
(Laughter)
61
198120
3296
(Naer)
Päriselt ka.
03:33
It's true. Don't have lunch with me,
62
201440
2520
Minuga ei tasu lõunale
või õhtusöögile minna
või õhtusöögile minna
03:37
or dinner.
63
205320
1200
03:39
Tip two: be supremely skilled,
64
207760
3976
Teine nipp:
ole superhea, ülimalt hea eksija.
03:43
supremely skilled at getting it wrong.
65
211760
2440
03:47
It is important to be
as equally confident in your superpowers
as equally confident in your superpowers
66
215480
3776
Usu oma supervõimetesse sama kindlalt
kui oma TPVdesse.
03:51
as you are in you FUBARs.
67
219280
2280
Noorematele selgituseks:
03:54
That's "effed up beyond all recognition"
68
222640
2536
TPV on “täiesti pekkikeeratud värk".
03:57
for you millennials.
69
225200
1216
03:58
(Laughter)
70
226440
1456
Näiteks nii:
03:59
Here's a good example.
71
227920
1200
04:02
It is not a great idea to say,
72
230240
3896
Ei tasu öelda, et ärge pange mind tähele,
04:06
"Don't worry, everything in here
is too small for me to see"
is too small for me to see"
73
234160
3760
siin on kõik liiga väike,
et ma midagi üldse näeksin...
et ma midagi üldse näeksin...
...olles kogemata meeste WCsse sattunud.
04:10
when you accidentally
walk into the men's room --
walk into the men's room --
74
238960
3776
04:14
(Laughter)
75
242760
5896
(Naer)
…või maailma ühel suurimal staadionil --
04:20
at one of the world's
largest sporting arenas --
largest sporting arenas --
76
248680
4296
04:25
(Laughter)
77
253000
2736
(Naer)
04:27
or anywhere.
78
255760
2096
või kus iganes.
04:29
I really wish that one wasn't true.
79
257880
2120
Ma nii tahaks, et seda poleks juhtunud.
Tõsiselt, parem on minema jalutada ja
lasta teistel mõelda, et oled purjus.
lasta teistel mõelda, et oled purjus.
04:33
I'm serious. It is better to just walk out
and let them think you're drunk.
and let them think you're drunk.
80
261720
4456
04:38
(Laughter)
81
266200
1896
(Naer)
04:40
Tip three: know that everyone
is disabled in some way,
is disabled in some way,
82
268120
4040
Kolmas nipp: pea meeles,
et kõigil meil on mõni puue,
et kõigil meil on mõni puue,
04:45
like when you have a cold
and you can't smell
and you can't smell
83
273080
2296
näiteks kui on nohu ja ei tunne lõhna
04:47
and you realize that the milk
that you splashed in your coffee was sour
that you splashed in your coffee was sour
84
275400
3376
et selle, piim on tilgastanud
avastad alles siis
avastad alles siis
kui oled esimese kohvilonksu võtnud.
04:50
only after you've tasted it.
85
278800
1960
04:53
Very recently, a woman
walked up to me frantic.
walked up to me frantic.
86
281920
3376
Hiljuti tuli tänaval mu juurde
üks ärritunud naine,
üks ärritunud naine,
04:57
She could not find
the bakery she was looking for.
the bakery she was looking for.
87
285320
2680
kes kuidagi ei leidnud üht pagariäri.
05:00
As I motioned in the direction
I thought she should go,
I thought she should go,
88
288880
2616
Näitasin käega sinna suunas,
kus see minu arust olema pidi
kus see minu arust olema pidi
ja ütlesin: “Siinpool tänavat
ei ole ühtegi poodi,
ei ole ühtegi poodi,
05:03
saying, "There are no stores
on this side of the street
on this side of the street
89
291520
2936
nii et pigem tasuks teil üle tee...”
05:06
so your best bet is to cross --"
90
294480
2016
“Appikene”, hüüatas ta,
05:08
"Oh my goodness," she interrupted.
91
296520
3376
“seal see ju ongi.
05:11
"There it is.
92
299920
1816
Mul oli lihtsalt üht lisa
silmapaari vaja".
silmapaari vaja".
05:13
All I needed was another set of eyes."
93
301760
2896
05:16
(Laughter)
94
304680
5336
(Naer)
05:22
I just let her have it.
95
310040
1280
Ma ei hakanud temaga vaidlema.
05:24
I would have said that, you know,
96
312920
3176
Oleksin öelnud, tegelikult oleks
loogiline mõtlemine ja keskendumine
05:28
being logical and paying attention
97
316120
2696
ja rahulikkus teda sama hästi aidanud,
05:30
and staying calm
would have done the trick,
would have done the trick,
98
318840
2936
05:33
but who am I?
99
321800
1200
aga kes olen mina seda ütlema?
05:36
Tip four: point out
the disability in others.
the disability in others.
100
324240
3760
Neljas näpunäide: juhi
tähelepanu teiste puudustele.
tähelepanu teiste puudustele.
Seda nippi tasub kasutada –
kuulake nüüd hoolega –
kuulake nüüd hoolega –
05:41
This one is best reserved --
very important note --
very important note --
101
329080
2416
seda tasub kasutada heade tuttavate puhul,
05:43
this one is best reserved
for people you know well,
for people you know well,
102
331520
2696
sest võõrad ei oska tavaliselt
05:46
because random strangers
typically don't appreciate
typically don't appreciate
103
334240
3560
neid õpetlikke momente hinnata.
05:50
teachable moments.
104
338720
1200
Paar aastat tagasi käisin vanematega
vaatamas The Rockettes šõud,
vaatamas The Rockettes šõud,
05:52
A few years ago, my parents and I
went to see the Rockettes,

Radio City jalgu loopivaid tantsijaid.
05:56
Radio City's high-kicking dancers.
106
344520
2880
Kallutasin end isa poole ja sosistasin:
06:00
I leaned over to my dad.
107
348040
1560
06:02
"The two Rockettes on the left
aren't kicking in a straight line."
aren't kicking in a straight line."
108
350760
3680
“Kaks vasakpoolset tantsijat ei
hoia teistega sirget rida.”
hoia teistega sirget rida.”
“Hoiavad küll.”
06:07
"Yes, they are."
109
355800
1200
“Ei hoia."
06:09
"No, they're not."
110
357800
1200
06:12
"Yes, they are, and how do you know?
111
360120
1736
“Hoiavad küll, ja kuidas sina seda tead?
Sa ei näe ju."
06:13
You can't see."
112
361880
1200
06:15
But I know what
a straight line looks like.
a straight line looks like.
113
363880
2960
Ma ju tean, milline sirge rida välja näeb!
06:19
I had snapped a picture
during our back and forth
during our back and forth
114
367880
2656
Tegin meie vaidluse ajal esinejatest pilti
ja näitasin seda talle
tõestamaks, et mul oli õigus.
tõestamaks, et mul oli õigus.
06:22
and presented him the evidence
that proved I was right.
that proved I was right.
115
370560
3240
06:26
He looked at the picture.
116
374840
1240
Mu isa vaatas fotot.
06:28
I leaned in further.
117
376840
1320
Kummardusin lähemale:
06:30
"Who's disabled now?"
118
378840
1240
“Kumb meist nüüd see puudega on?”
06:34
Tip five: pursue audacious goals.
119
382520
3320
Viies nipp: unista suurelt.
06:38
Flip expectation upside down
120
386520
2416
Keera ootused pea peale
ja tõuka piirangud
kaljuservalt alla kildudeks.
kaljuservalt alla kildudeks.
06:40
and shove limitation off a cliff
to meet its demise.
to meet its demise.

There is a college football linebacker

Ühe ülikooli jalgpallimeeskonnas on mees,
kes kaitseb, peatab ja säilitab tasakaalu,
06:47
who blitzes, tackles, recovers fumbles
123
395960
3256
06:51
while having one hand.
124
399240

ja seda kõike ühekäelisena.

There is a teacher

Tean üht õpetaja, kes edukalt
annab edasi teadmisi

1640
kuigi tal on Downi sündroom.
07:02
And for me,
128
410280
1200
Ja mis puutub minusse,
07:04
on my long list,
