The maxim, "Know thyself"
has been around since the ancient Greeks.
Some attribute this golden world
knowledge to Plato, others to Pythagoras.
But the truth is it doesn't really matter
which sage said it first,
because it's still
sage advice, even today.
"Know thyself."
It's pithy almost to the point
of being meaningless,
but it rings familiar
and true, doesn't it?
"Know thyself."
I understand this timeless dictum
as a statement about the problems,
or more exactly, the confusions,
of consciousness.
I've always been fascinated
with knowing the self.
This fascination led me
to submerge myself in art,
study neuroscience,
and later, to become a psychotherapist.
Today I combine all my passions
as the CEO of InteraXon,
a thought-controlled computing company.

Maksima "Spoznaj sebe"
postoji još od stare Grčke.
Neki je pripisuju Platonu,
neki Pitagori,
ali i nije toliko bitno
koji mudrac ju je prvi koristio,
već to da se zadržala do današnjih dana.
Spoznaj sebe.
Precizno pogađa suštinu,
gotovo do tačke besmisla,
ali zvuči poznato i istinito, zar ne?
Spoznaj sebe.
Ja ovu bezvremenu sentencu shvatam
kao izraz problema,
ili preciznije, konfuzije
spoznaje.
Oduvek me je fasciniralo spoznavanje sebe.
Ta fascinacija me je inspirisala
da "uronim" u svet umetnosti,
proučavam neuronauku
i kasnije postanem psihoterapeut.
Danas kombinujem te svoje strasti
kao izvršni direktor InteraXon-a,
kompanije koja se bavi stvaranjem
umom kontrolisane
kompjuterske tehnologije.
Moj cilj, veoma jednostavno,

English: 
My goal, quite simply, is to help people
become more in tune with themselves.
I take it from this
little dictum, "Know thyself."
If you think about it,
this imperative is kind of the defining
characteristic of our species, isn't it?
I mean, it's self-awareness
that separates Homo sapiens
from earlier instances of our mankind.
Today we're often too busy
tending to our iPhones and iPods
to really stop and get to know ourselves.
Under the deluge of minute-to-minute
text conversations,
e-mails, relentless exchange
of media channels
and passwords and apps
and reminders and Tweets and tags,
we lose sight of what all this fuss is
supposed to be about in the first place:
Ourselves.
Much of the time we're transfixed
by all of the ways we can reflect
ourselves out into the world.
And we can barely find the time to reflect
deeply back in on our own selves.
We've cluttered ourselves up
with all this.
And we feel like we have to get
far, far away to a secluded retreat,
leaving it all behind.

Serbian: 
jeste da pomognem ljudima
da budu usklađeniji sa samim sobom.
On proizlazi iz te kratke sentence,
Spoznaj sebe.
Kad malo razmislite, uvidećete
da je ovaj imperativ neka vrsta
definisanja svojstva naše vrste, zar ne?
Samospoznaja je
ono što odvaja homosapiensa
od ranijih faza čovečanstva.
U današnje vreme smo suviše zauzeti
svojim iPhonima i iPodima
i nemamo vremena da zastanemo
i zaista pogledamo u sebe.
U poplavi SMS komunikacije
iz minuta u minut,
imejlova, neprestanog "bombardovanja"
medija novim sadržajima,
lozinki, aplikacija, podsetnika,
tvitovanja i tagovanja,
gubimo uvid u ono što stoji
iza sve te huke i buke,
a to smo mi sami.
Većinu vremena smo "paralizovani"
svim načinima kojima izražavamo
sebe u odnosu na spoljašnji svet,
i jedva da pronađemo malo vremena
da promislimo o svom unutrašnjem "ja".
Upleteni smo u čitavu tu gungulu,
i čini nam se da moramo da se povučemo

English: 
So we go far away
to the top of a mountain,
assuming that perching
ourselves on a piece
is bound to give us the respite we need
to sort the clutter, the chaotic everyday,
and find ourselves again.
But on that mountain where we gain
that beautiful peace of mind,
what are we really achieving?
It's really only a successful escape.
Think of the term we use, "Retreat."
This is the term that armies use
when they've lost a battle.
It means we've got to get out of here.
Is this how we feel
about the pressures of our world,
that in order to get inside ourselves,
you have to run for the hills?
And the problem with escaping
your day-to-day life
is that you have to come home, eventually.
So when you think about it,
we're almost like a tourist
visiting ourselves over there.
And eventually, that vacation's got
to come to an end.
So my question to you is,
can we find ways to know ourselves
without the escape?

Serbian: 
daleko u neko izolovano utočište
i da ostavimo sve za sobom.
I tako odlazimo daleko,
na vrhove planina,
pretpostavljajući da će nam boravak tamo
doneti preko potreban predah
da se izborimo sa gungulom,
svakodnevnim haosom,
i ponovo pronađemo sebe.
Ali, povlačenjem na tu planinu
koje nam pruža blaženi duševni mir,
šta je to što zaista postižemo?
To je zapravo samo uspešan beg.
Razmislite o terminu
koji koristimo - "povlačenje".
To je termin koji se u vojsci koristi
nakon izgubljene bitke.
To znači da moramo da odemo odavde.
Da li je to ono što osećamo
u vezi sa pritiscima današnjice?
Da li je, da bismo spoznali sebe,
potrebno "bežati u brda"?
Problem u begu od svakodnevnice
je to što se pre ili kasnije
morate vratiti.
Kada malo razmislite o tome,
mi smo poput turista
koji posećuju sebe tamo.
A taj odmor se jednom mora završiti.
Dakle, moje pitanje je:
možemo li pronaći načine da spoznamo sebe

Serbian: 
bez da tražimo utočište u begu?
Možemo li na drugačiji način
da definišemo svoj odnos
prema svetu preplavljenom tehnologijom
u cilju pojačavanja osećaja samosvesti
za kojim tragamo?
Možemo li da živimo ovde i sada
u svojoj globalnoj mreži
a da se pritom još uvek
držimo drevnog saveta:
spoznaj sebe.
Ja smatram da je odgovor - da.
Ovde sam danas da podelim
sa vama novi način
na koji možemo koristiti tehnologiju
da spoznamo svoje unutrašnje ja
kao nikada ranije -
humanizujući tehnologiju
i unapređujući to vekovno traganje
za potpunijom spoznajom sebe.
Zove se umom kontrolisano
korišćenje računarske tehnologije.
Možda ste primetili
da imam malu elektrodu
pričvršćenu na čelo.
To je zapravo senzor moždanih talasa
koji očitava elektro aktivnost mog mozga
dok držim ovaj govor.
Talasi se analiziraju i možemo ih videti
predstavljene u grafikonu.
Ona plava linija predstavlja
moje moždane talase.

English: 
Can we redefine our relationship
with the technologized world
in order to have the heightened
sense of self-awareness that we seek?
Can we live here and now in our wired web
and still follow those ancient
instructions, "Know thyself?"
I say the answer is yes.
And I'm here today to share a new way
that we're working
with technology to this end,
to get familiar with our inner self
like never before...
Humanizing technology
and furthering that age-old quest of ours
to more fully know the self.
It's called thought-controlled computing.
You may or may not have noticed
that I'm wearing a tiny
electrode on my forehead.
This is actually a brainwave sensor
that's reading the electrical
activity of my brain
as I give this talk.
These brainwaves are being analyzed
and we can see them as a graph.
That blue line there is my brainwave.

English: 
It's the direct signal being recorded
from my head, rendered in real time.
The green and red bars show
that same signal displayed by frequency,
with lower frequencies here
and higher frequencies up here.
You're actually looking
inside my head as I speak.
These graphs are compelling,
they're undulating,
but from a human's perspective,
they're actually not very useful.
That's why we've spent a lot of time
thinking about how to make this data
meaningful to the people who use it.
For instance,
what if I could use this data to find out
how relaxed I am at any moment?
Or what if I can take that information
and put it into an organic
shape up on the screen?
The shape on the right over here
has become an indicator
of what's going on in my head.
The more relaxed I am,
the more the energy's going
to fall through it.
I may also be interested in knowing
how focused I am,
so I can put my level of attention
into the circuit board on the other side.
And the more focused my brain is,

Serbian: 
To je direktni signal
koji se beleži iz moje glave,
prikazan u realnom vremenu.
Zeleni i crveni deo predstavljaju
isti taj signal prikazan frekvencijama,
nižim ovde, a višim tamo.
Bukvalno možete videti šta se odigrava
u mojoj glavi dok pričam.
Ovi grafikoni privlače pažnju,
talasasti su,
ali iz perspektive čoveka
oni zapravo i nisu od neke koristi.
Zato smo proveli mnogo vremena
razmišljajući kako da ove
podatke učinimo smislenim
ljudima koji ih koriste.
Na primer, šta ako mogu
da iskoristim ove podatke
da otkrijem koliko sam opuštena?
Ili ako ih predstavim
u organskom obliku na ekranu?
Oblik sa desne strane postaje
pokazatelj procesa
koji se odigravaju u mojoj glavi.
Što sam opuštenija,
više energije će teći kroz njega.
Možda me interesuje
i koliko sam fokusirana,
pa mogu da unesem podatke o nivou
pažnje u kontrolnu ploču sa druge strane.
Što je veći nivo koncentracije,

English: 
the more the circuit board
is going to surge with energy.
Ordinarily, I would have no way
of knowing how focused or relaxed I was
in any tangible way.
As we know, our feelings
about how we're feeling
are notoriously unreliable.
We've all had stress creep up
on us without even noticing it
until we lost it on someone
who didn't deserve it,
and then we realize that we probably
should have checked in with ourselves
a little earlier.
This new awareness
opens up vast possibilities
for applications that help
improve our lives and ourselves.
We're trying to create technology
that uses the insights
to make our work more efficient,
our breaks more relaxing
and our connections deeper
and more fulfilling than ever.
I'm going to share some of these
visions with you in a bit,
but first I want to take
a look at how we got here.
By the way, feel free to check
in on my head at any time.
(Laughter)
My team at InteraXon and I
have been developing thought-controlled
application for almost a decade now.
In the first phase of development,

Serbian: 
veće će biti promene u energiji
koje očitava kontrolna tabla.
Uobičajeno, ne postoji
nikakav opipljiv način
da saznam koliko sam
opuštena ili fokusirana.
Kao što znamo,naša osećanja
o tome kako se osećamo
su nepopravljivo nepouzdana.
Svima nam se dogodilo da i ne primetimo
koliko se stresa u nama nagomilalo
sve dok se ne iskalimo na nekom
ko to uopšte ne zaslužuje
a onda shvatimo
da je trebalo da sami to uvidimo
i sprečimo na vreme.
Ova nova osvešćenost
otvara ogromne mogućnosti
za poboljšanje naših života i nas samih.
Pokušavamo da stvorimo tehnologiju
koja na osnovu uvida u našu unutrašnjost
čini naš rad efikasnijim,
a odmor opuštenijim,
naše veze dublje i smislenije nego ikad.
Podeliću neke od ovih
vizija sa vama uskoro,
ali prvo želim da vam pokažem
kako smo stigli do toga.
Slobodno bacite pogled na to
šta se dešava u mojoj glavi
kad god vam odgovara.
(Smeh)
Moj tim u kompaniji InteraXon i ja radimo
na umom kontrolisanoj
aplikaciji već deset godina.
U prvoj fazi smo bili
oduševljeni količinom
stvari koje se mogu
kontrolisati ljudskim umom.

Serbian: 
Činili smo stvari aktivnim i sjajnim
isključivo razmišljanjem.
Uspeli smo da premostimo razlike
između ljudskog uma i uređaja.
Oživeli smo ogroman broj
prototipa i proizvoda
koje je moguće kontrolisati ljudskim umom,
kao što su npr aparati za domaćinstvo,
slot ili vigeo igre,
ili levitirajuća stolica.
Stvorili smo tehnologiju i aplikacije
koje su podsticale maštu ljudi,
i to je bilo zaista uzbudljivo.
A onda smo dobili zadatak
da uradimo nešto zaista bitno
za Olimpijske igre.
Trebalo je da napravimo
ogromnu instalaciju
na Zimskoj Olimpijadi u Vankuveru 2010,
koja bi kontrolisala
rasvetu na zgradi C.N. Tauera,
zgradama kanadskog Parlamenta
i Nijagarinim vodopadima,
a kojom bi se upravljalo
sa drugog kraja zemlje
snagom ljudskog uma.
U periodu od 17 dana
7.000 posetilaca Olimpijade
imalo je priliku da pojedinačno
kontroliše osvetljenje
na C.N. Taueru, Parlamentu
i Nijagarinim vodopadima u realnom vremenu
snagom svog uma,
sa udaljenosti od 3.000 km.

English: 
we were really enthused by all the things
we could control with our mind.
We were making things activate,
light up and work just by thinking.
We were transcending the space
between the mind and the device.
We brought to life a vast array
of prototypes and products
that you could control with your mind,
like thought-controlled home appliances
or slot-car games or video games
or a levitating chair.
We created technology and applications
that engaged people's imaginations,
and it was really exciting.
And then we were asked to do something
really big for the Olympics.
We were invited to create
a massive installation
at the Vancouver 2010 winter Olympics,
were used in Vancouver,
got to control the lighting
on the CN Tower,
the Canadian Parliament
buildings and Niagara Falls
from all the way across the country
using their minds.
Over 17 days at the Olympics,
7,000 visitors from all over the world
actually got to individually
control the light
from the CN Tower, parliament
and Niagara in real time
with their minds from across
the country, 3,000 km away.

English: 
So controlling stuff
with your mind is pretty cool.
But we're always interested in multitiered
levels of human interaction.
And so we began looking into inventing
thought-controlled applications
in a more complex frame than just control.
And that was responsiveness.
We realized that we had a system
that allowed technology
to know something about you.
And it could join
into the relationship with you.
We created the responsive room
where the lights, music and blinds
adjusted to your state.
They followed these little shifts
in your mental activity.
So as you settled into relaxation
at the end of a hard day,
on the couch in our office,
the music would mellow with you.
When you read, the desk lamp
would get brighter.
If you nod off, the system would know,
dimming to darkness as you do.
We then realized that if technology
could know something about you
and use it to help you,
there's an even more valuable
application than that.
That you could know
something about yourself.

Serbian: 
Dakle, kontrolisanje stvari snagom uma
je prilično kul.
Ali, mi se bavimo i istraživanjem
višeslojne ljudske interakcije,
pa smo započeli rad na osmišljavanju
aplikacija kojima upravlja ljudski um
na kompleksniji način
u odnosu na puko kontolisanje,
a to je povratna sprega.
Shvatili smo da postoji sistem
koji omogućava da tehnologija
sazna nešto o vama,
i tako se može stvoriti veza
između nje i vas.
Stvorili smo prostoriju
za ispitivanje povratne sprege
u kojoj su svetlo i muzika
bili prilagođeni nečijem stanju.
Kroz ove stvari praćene su
promene u mentalnoj aktivnosti.
Tako da, ako se opuštate
na kauču u kancelariji
na kraju napornog radnog dana,
i muzika postaje blaža,
u skladu sa raspoloženjem.
Ako čitate, lampa na stolu sija jače.
Ako zadremate, sistem će znati za to,
i svetla će se prigušiti.
Shvatili smo da, ako tehnologija
"sazna" nešto o ljudima,
i to iskoristi da nam pomogne,
dobićemo još vredniju primenu.
Tako možemo saznati nešto novo o sebi.

English: 
We could know sides of ourselves
that were all but invisible
and come to see things
that were previously hidden.
Let me show you an example
of what I'm talking about here.
I do have a video of an application
I created for the iPad.
So the goal of the original game Zen Bound
is to wrap a rope around a wooden form.
So you use it with your headset.
The headset connects wirelessly
to an iPad or a smartphone.
In that headset, you have fabric sensors
on your forehead and above the ear.
In the original Zen Bound game,
you play it by scrolling
your fingers over the pad.
In the game that we created, of course,
you control the wooden form
that's on the screen there with your mind.
As you focus on the wooden form,
it rotates.
The more you focus,
the faster the rotation.
This is for real.
This is not a fake.
What's really interesting to me though
is at the end of the game, you get stats
and feedback about how you did.

Serbian: 
Možemo uvideti neke aspekte svoje ličnosti
kojih nismo ni bili svesni
i otkriti neke stvari
koje su bile skrivene.
Pokazaću vam primer za ovo o čemu pričam.
Imam snimak aplikacije
koju sam napravila za iPad.
Cilj originalne Zen Baund igre
je obmotati uže
oko određene figure od drveta.
Igramo je pomoću uređaja
koji je pričvšćen za glavu.
Ovaj uređaj je bežičnom vezom
povezan sa iPad-om ili smartfonom.
U njemu se nalaze
senzori prikačeni na čelo i iznad uha.
U originalnoj igri, igra se tako što
se prstima skroluje po ekranu.
U igri koju smo mi osmislili,
drvena figura na ekranu
se kontroliše umom.
Ako se koncentrišete na tu figuru,
ona će se okretati.
Što se više koncentrišete,
rotacija je brža.
Ovo je stvarno moguće.
Nije laž.
Ono što je meni interesantno
je to da se po završenoj igri
mogu dobiti statistički podaci
i fidbek o tome koliko ste bili uspešni.
Postoje grafikoni i tabele

English: 
You have graphs and charts
that tell you how your brain was doing...
Not just how much rope you used
or what your high score is,
but what was going on inside of your mind.
And this is valuable feedback
that we can use to understand
what's going on inside of ourselves.
I like to call this "intra-active."
Normally, we think
about technology as interactive.
This technology is intra-active.
It understands what's inside of you
and builds a sort
of responsive relationship
between you and your technology
so that you can use this information
to move you forward.
So you can use this information
to understand you in a responsive loop.
For example,
a thought controlled computer
can teach children with ADD
how to improve their focus.
With ADD, children have a low proportion
of beta waves, or focus state,
and high proportion of theta states.

Serbian: 
sa podacima o tome
kako se vaš mozak ponašao -
ne samo o tome
koliko ste užeta iskoristili
ili koji je vaš najbolji rezultat,
nego i to šta se dešavalo
unutar vašeg uma.
A to su dragoceni povratni podaci
koje možemo da koristimo da saznamo
šta se dešava unutar nas.
Volim da ovaj proces nazivam
intra - aktivnim.
Obično tehnologiju doživljavamo
kao interaktivnu.
Ova tehnologija je intra - aktivna.
Ona razume šta se dešava unutar vas
i gradi neku vrstu povratne sprege
između vas i tehnologije.
Podaci koje dobijamo ovim putem
mogu nam pomoći da napredujemo,
da razumemo svoju ulogu
u povratnoj sprezi.
Na primer, umom kontrolisana
kompjuterska tehnologija
može da nauči decu
koja pate od poremećaja pažnje
kako da poboljšaju koncentraciju.
Deca sa ovim sindromom
imaju nisku proporciju beta talasa
za stanje fokusa
i visoku proporciju teta stanja.

English: 
So you can create applications
that reward focused brain states.
So you can imagine kids playing
video games with their brain waves
and improving their ADD
symptoms as they do it.
This can be as effective as Ritalin.
Perhaps even more importantly,
thought-controlled computing
can give children with ADD
insights into their own fluctuating
mental states,
so they can better understand themselves
and their learning needs.
The way these children will be able to use
their new awareness to improve themselves
will upend many of the damaging
and widespread social stigmas
that people who are diagnosed
as different are challenged with.
We can peer inside our heads
and interact with what was once
locked away from us,
what once mystified and separated us.
Brainwave technology can understand us,
anticipate our emotions
and find the best solutions for our needs.
Imagine this collected
awareness of the individual
computed and reflected
across an entire lifespan.

Serbian: 
Za njih se može napraviti aplikacija
koja nagrađuje stanja fokusa.
Zamislite decu koja igraju video igre
snagom svojih moždanih talasa
i uz to rešavaju problem
poremećaja pažnje.
To može delovati
jednako efikasno kao i ritalin.
Ono što je možda od još većeg značaja,
jeste da ovakva kompjuterska tehnologija
može da pruži uvid ovoj deci
u oscilacije njihovih mentalnih stanja,
tako da mogu bolje da razumeju sebe
i svoje potrebe pri učenju.
Nova svest o rešavanju ovog
problema može da pomogne
deci da rade na sebi i da poboljšaju
svoje stanje, što bi drastično uticalo
na sprečavanje raširene i štetne
društvene stigmatizacije
sa kojom se ove osobe susreću.
Možemo da pogledamo
šta se zbiva unutar naših glava,
i stupimo u vezu sa nečim
što ranije nije bilo dostupno,
nečim što nas je nekada
zbunjivalo i razdvajalo.
Tehnologija moždanih talasa može
da nas razume, da predvidi naša osećanja
i pronađe najbolje rešenje
za naše potrebe.
Zamislite svu ovu
sakupljenu svest pojedinca
kompjuterski obrađenu
i prikazanu kroz čitav životni vek.
Zamislite koliko toga se može saznati

Serbian: 
iz drugačije perspektive.
Bilo bi to kao da ste se konektovali
na svoj sopstveni Gugl.
Govoreći o Guglu,
danas možete naći i označiti slike
na osnovu misli i osećanja
koja ste imali dok ste ih gledali.
Možete obeležiti slike
mladunaca životinja kao srećne,
ili bilo kojim drugim osećanjem
koje oni izazivaju u vama,
a onda možete istraživati bazu podataka,
rukovodeći se svojim osećanjima,
a ne ključnim rečima
koje su samo nagoveštaj.
Ili možete da obeležite
fotografije na Fejsbuku
emocijama koje vas vežu za te uspomene,
i time odmah date prioritet
stvarima koje vam privlače pažnju
ovako.
Humanizovanje tehnologije je uzimanje
onoga što već prirodno postoji
u odnosu ljudi i tehnologije
i stvaranje tehnologije u skladu sa tim.
Usklađujući se sa ljudskim ponašanjem,
tehnologija nam može pružiti
svest o tome šta radimo,
i još važnije, zašto to radimo,
stvarajući širu sliku
napravljenu od mnogo
malih ali bitnih detalja
od kojih smo sačinjeni.

English: 
Imagine the insights that you can gain
from this kind of second sight.
It would be like plugging
into your own personal Google.
On the subject of Google,
today you can search and tag images
based on the thoughts and feelings
you had while you watched them.
You can tag pictures
of baby animals as happy,
or whatever baby animals are to you,
and then you can search that database,
navigating with your feelings,
rather than the keywords
that just hint at them.
Or you could tag Facebook photos
with the emotions that you had
associated with those memories
and then instantly prioritize
the streams that catch your attention,
just like this.
Humanizing technology
is about taking what's already natural
about the human-tech experience
and building technology
seamlessly in tandem with it.
As it aligns with our human behaviors,
it can allow us to make
better sense of what we do
and, more importantly, why.
Creating a big picture
out of all the important little details
that make up who we are.

English: 
With humanized technology we can monitor
the quality of your sleep cycles.
When our productivity starts to slacken,
we can go back to that data
and see how we can make more effective
balance between work and play.
Do you know what causes fatigue in you
or what brings out your energetic self,
what triggers cause you to be depressed
or what fun things are going
to bring you out of that funk?
Imagine if you had access to data
that allowed you to rank
on a scale of overall happiness
which people in your life
made you the happiest,
or what activities brought you joy.
Would you make more time for those people?
Would you prioritize?
Would you get a divorce?
(Laughter)
What thought-controlled computing
can allow you to do
is build colorful layered
pictures of our lives.
And with this, we can get the skinny
on our psychological happenings
and build a story
of our behaviors over time.
We can begin to see the underlying
narratives that propel us forward
and tell us about what's going on.

Serbian: 
Uz pomoć humanizovane tehnologije
možemo pratiti kvalitet ciklusa spavanja.
Kada produktivnost počne da opada,
možemo se vratiti na podatke
i pogledati kako možemo
napraviti bolju ravnotežu
između posla i zabave.
Znate li šta izaziva umor kod vas,
a šta povećava nivo energije,
šta vas čini depresivnim,
a šta vam pričinjava uživanje?
Zamislite da imate pristup podacima
koji, na skali sveukupne sreće,
pružaju mogućnost rangiranja ljudi
koji su vas učinili najsrećnijim,
ili aktivnosti koje su vam pričinile
najviše zadovoljstva.
Da li biste provodili
više vremena sa tim ljudima?
Da li biste se razveli?

Ono što umom kontrolisana
kompjuterska tehnologija omogućava
je stvaranje živih,
slojevitih slika naših života.
Uz pomoć toga, moguće je dobiti
precizne podatke o psihološkim procesima
i stvoriti uvid u naše
ponašanje kroz vreme.
Možemo spoznati stvari
koje postoje ispod površine
koje nam daju podsticaj,
i pružaju detaljniji uvid
u to šta se dešava.

Serbian: 
Na taj način, možemo naučiti
kako da menjamo stvari i utičemo na ishod
i karakter
naših ličnih priča.
Pre dva milenijuma,
Grci su uočili neke zaista moćne istine.
Znali su da će se
najvažniji deo slagalice uklopiti
u čitavu sliku jednom kada ljudi
počnu da se ponašaju u skladu
sa tom njihovom kratkom izrekom,
kada ostvare kontakt sa samim sobom.
Oni su razumeli snagu ljudske priče
i vrednost čoveka
kao bića koje se menja, evoluira, raste.
Ali oni su razumeli i još jednu,
važniju stvar -
a to je sama radost otkrivanja,
zadovoljstvo i fascinacija
koju nam pruža svet oko nas
i mi sami kao deo tog sveta,
bogatstvo koje nam pruža
posmatranje, osećanje i spoznaja
života koji smo mi sami.
Moja majka je umetnica,
i kao dete sam često gledala
kako je oživljavala stvari
jednim potezom četkice.
U jednom trenutku postojalo je
samo prazno platno, mogućnost.
U sledećem, postajalo je živo,
puno raznobojnih ideja i izražaja.

English: 
And from this, we can learn
how to change the plot, the outcome
and the character of our personal stories.
Two millennia ago, those Greeks
had some powerful insights.
They knew that a fundamental
piece falls into place
when you start to live
out their little phrase,
when you come into contact with yourself.
They understood the power
of human narrative
and the value that we place on humans
as changing, evolving and growing.
But they understood something
more fundamental...
The sheer joy in discovery,
the delight and fascination
that we get from the world
and being ourselves in it;
the richness that we get from seeing,
feeling and knowing the lives that we are.
My mom's an artist,
and as a child, I'd often see her bring
things to life with the stroke of a brush.
One moment, it was
all white space, pure possibility.
The next, it was alive
with her colorful ideas and expressions.

English: 
As I sat easel-side, watching her
transform canvas after canvas,
I learned that you could
create your own world.
I learned that our own inner worlds...
Our ideas, emotions and imaginations...
Were, in fact, not bound
by our brains and bodies.
If you could think it,
if you could discover it,
you could bring it to life.
To me, thought-controlled computing
is as simple and powerful
as a paintbrush...
One more tool to unlock and enliven
the hidden worlds within us.
I look forward to the day
that I can sit beside you, easel-side,
watching the world that we can create
with our new toolboxes
and the discoveries
that we can make about ourselves.
Thank you.
(Applause)

Serbian: 
Dok sam sedela kraj štafelaja,
posmatrajući je kako oslikava
platno za platnom,
naučila sam da je moguće
stvoriti svoj sopstveni svet.
Naučila sam da naši unutrašnji svetovi -
naše ideje, osećanja
i mašta nisu, zapravo,
ograničeni našim mozgom i telom.
Ako smo u stanju
da zamislimo određene ideje,
da ih otkrijemo, onda
možemo i da ih oživimo.
Za mene, umom kontrolisano
korišćenje kompjutera
je jednako jednostavno
i moćno kao i potez četkicom po platnu -
to je još jedno od "oruđa"
kojim možemo da oslobodimo
i oživimo skrivene svetove unutar nas.
Radujem se danu
kada ću moći da sedim pored vas,
i posmatram svet koji stvaramo
novim alatkama
i nove stvari koje otkrivamo o sebi.
Hvala.
