primjetio sam kako brojevi kuća ne idu po redu."
01:24
He sayskaže, "Of coursenaravno they do. They go in the ordernarudžba in whichkoji they were builtizgrađen.

3000
On odgovara, "Naravno da idu. Idu po redoslijedu po kojem su izgrađene.
01:27
The first housekuća ever builtizgrađen on a blockblok is housekuća numberbroj one.
26
72000
3000

28
78000
2000
Treća kuća je broj tri. Jednostavno je. Očito je."
01:35
So, I love that sometimesponekad we need to
29
80000
3000
Volim što ponekad trebamo
01:38
go to the oppositesuprotan sidestrana of the worldsvijet
30
83000
2000
otići na suprotnu stranu svijeta
01:40
to realizeostvariti assumptionspretpostavke we didn't even know we had,
31
85000
2000
kako bi shvatili da imamo pretpostavke za koje uopće nismo znali,
01:42
and realizeostvariti that the oppositesuprotan of them maysvibanj alsotakođer be truepravi.
32
87000
3000
i shvatili kako bi njihova suprotnost mogla biti jednako istinita.
01:45
So, for exampleprimjer, there are doctorsliječnici in ChinaKina
33
90000
2000
Na primjer, postoje doktori u Kini
01:47
who believe that it's theirnjihov jobposao to keep you healthyzdrav.
34
92000
3000
koji vjeruju kako je njihov posao održati vas zdravima.
01:50
So, any monthmjesec you are healthyzdrav you payplatiti them,
35
95000
2000
Tako im za svaki mjesec koji ste zdravi plaćate,
01:52
and when you're sickbolestan you don't have to payplatiti them because they failedneuspjeh
36
97000
2000
a kada ste bolesni ne plaćate im jer su neuspješno
01:54
at theirnjihov jobposao. They get richbogat when you're healthyzdrav, not sickbolestan.
37
99000
2000
obavili posao. Oni se bogate kada ste zdravi, ne bolesni.
01:56
(ApplausePljesak)

(Pljesak)
01:59
In mostnajviše musicglazba, we think of the "one"
39
104000
2000
U većini muzike mislimo kako je "jedan"
02:01
as the downbeatmagazina, the beginningpočetak of the musicalmjuzikl phrasefraza: one, two, threetri, fourčetiri.
40
106000
4000
downtempo, početak muzičke fraze. Jedan, dva, tri, četiri.
02:05
But in WestZapad AfricanAfrička musicglazba, the "one"
41
110000
2000
Ali u zapadno afričkoj glazbi "jedan"
02:07
is thought of as the endkraj of the phrasefraza,
42
112000
2000
je na kraju muzičke fraze
02:09
like the periodrazdoblje at the endkraj of a sentencekazna.
43
114000
2000
kao razdoblje na kraju rečenice.
02:11
So, you can hearčuti it not just in the phrasingformulacijom, but the way they countračunati off theirnjihov musicglazba:
44
116000
2000
To možete čuti ne samo u fraziranju, već i načinu na koji broje u glazbi.
02:13
two, threetri, fourčetiri, one.
45
118000
3000
Dva, tri, četiri, jedan.
02:16
And this mapkarta is alsotakođer accuratetočan.
46
121000
3000
I ova je mapa također sasvim ispravna.
02:19
(LaughterSmijeh)
47
124000
2000
(Smijeh)
02:21
There's a sayingizreka that whateveršto god truepravi thing you can say about IndiaIndija,
48
126000
3000
Postoji izreka koja govori da koju god istinitu stvar možete reći o Indiji,
02:24
the oppositesuprotan is alsotakođer truepravi.
49
129000
2000
suprotno je također istina.
02:26
So, let's never forgetzaboraviti, whetherda li at TEDTED, or anywherebilo kuda elsedrugo,
50
131000
2000
ZAto, nemojmo nikada zaboraviti, bilo na TED-u, ili negdje drugdje,
02:28
that whateveršto god brilliantsjajan ideasideje you have or hearčuti,
51
133000
3000
koju god briljantnu ideju imate ili čujete,
02:31
that the oppositesuprotan maysvibanj alsotakođer be truepravi.
52
136000
2000
da i suprotno također može biti istina.
