3000
Itxaron zerrendaren bat dago?
02:13
Not likely.
45
118000
2000
Ziurrenik ez.
02:15
This gift came to me about five months ago.
46
120000
3000
Opari hau duela bost hilabete heldu zitzaidan.
02:18
It looked more like this when it was all wrapped up --
47
123000
2000
Horrela ikusten zen guztia bilduta zegoenenan...
02:20
not quite so pretty.
48
125000
2000
ez hain polita.
02:23
And this,
49
128000
2000
Eta horrela.
02:26
and then this.
50
131000
3000
Eta gero horrela.
02:29
It was a rare gem --
51
134000
2000
Harribitxi arrraro bat zen,
02:31
a brain tumor,
52
136000
2000
garuneko tumorea,
02:33
hemangioblastoma --
53
138000
3000
hemangiosblastoma,
02:36
the gift that keeps on giving.
54
141000
3000
jasotzen jarraitzen dudan oparia.
02:39
And while I'm okay now,
55
144000
2000
Eta bai orain ondo nago,
02:41
I wouldn't wish this gift for you.
56
146000
2000
ez dizuet opari hau desio.
02:43
I'm not sure you'd want it.
57
148000
2000
Ez nago nahi duzuenaren oso ziur.
02:45
But I wouldn't change my experience.
58
150000
3000
Baina nik ez nuke nire esperientzia aldatuko.
02:48
It profoundly altered my life
59
153000
3000
Horek izugarri aldatu zuen nire bizitza
02:51
in ways I didn't expect
60
156000
2000
espero ez nuen moduan
02:53
in all the ways I just shared with you.
61
158000
2000
zeuekin partekatu berri dudan moduan.
02:55
So the next time you're faced
62
160000
2000
Beraz, espero ez duzuen zerbaitekin topo egiten duzuen
02:57
with something that's unexpected,
63
162000
3000
hurrengo aldian,
03:00
unwanted and uncertain,
64
165000
3000
nahi ez den edo ezezaguna den zerbait,
03:03
consider
65
168000
2000
kontutan hartu
03:05
that it just may be a gift.
66
170000
3000
opari bat izan daitekeela.
03:08
(Applause)
