Kumi Inoue: True Partne (script I took a dictation)


TEDxUTokyoSalon 2015
Kumi Inoue: True Partner (summary)
Script I made
0:14
Thank you my friends.
0:25
I'm very, very happy to be here and I want to thank l the organizers for inviting me. This is a great opportunity, but this isn't about me. This isn't about you. This is about us designing and creating and unforgettable moments here and now. So we are all in this together, we are partners and for the next few moments. Let's think about it. What is a true partner? I want to show me your hand, if you believe you have a true partner in your life or in your business. Who thinks that you have actually think you have a true partner. Please raise your hand. All right. Many. Okay. So I can say this today. I have partners who are very very lucky or optimists. All right. Now, to me, a true partner shares that cat. C, A, T, cat. Three drivers of happiness. "C" stands for the challenge. "A" stands for alignment. "T" stands for trust. The challenge, alignment and trust.
2:19
A true partner challenges you to choose happiness over hate. To choose freedom over fear. Now, what does it mean? let me ask you. Are you afraid of or do you hate something or somebody... do you have something that you hate or do you have something that you hate to do? Raise your hand. Okay. Very honest. Now, how many of you, you love to clean up your house or clean up your rooms?  Please raise your hand. Some. All right. If you happen to be one of those who hate to do the housework  hate to clean the rooms, rooms clean even your rooms, clean the house. If you happen to have a true partner, this is what has going to say to you. Okay? Hate is a choice if you hate to do the cleaning.
3:25
Cleaning up your mess, your clutter and dusting, etc. etc.  You can ignore to hate it even more. Okay? But as I said hate is a choice. Why not replace it with happiness? And you might ask "How could I be happy doing the housework?" Cleaning the house, cleaning is messy, Such a clutter  and true partner says well". I can tell you that if you switch you're thinking, you're going to have this three happinesses.  Okay? Yes! One, you're vacuuming, dusting and removing.....clutter? One, you get the exercise, right? So you stay fit you. You know you want to go to the gym, you have to jog. That's one. Two, look at this place. Okay? Your clutter  is done. You got more space. Wow! This is  beautiful. You see. That makes you feel good. Three, if you happen to be living with someone, your family, your partner, whoever. You're going to be very happy, even more they can give you a hug. That's win, win, win, and happy, happy, happy. So switch from hate to happiness.
4:51
Make a sense also. Okay? Now, what about choosing freedom over fear. Think about it. Do you have something or somebody that you fear, you'er afraid of? Okay? Be honest.
5:06
The study shows in the United States,  more people fear making a public speech as it was standing in my position and making a speech in front of people even though they'er friends. They fear that more than death. You're pretty that you're afraid. How many of you would like to trade places with me and like to make a speech here? Okay, okay! So if you happen to be those who fear standing up in front of people and making a speech. ......So I'm so scared. Your partner come to and you say "fear is a choice. Why do you choose fear? " Choose freedom. Freedom is much crisis and your partner say "Well, think about standing here and letting yourself go, you really think you're feeling that is freedom.
6:07
You're letting your feelings, ideas experiences. Ideas worth spreading. So that's freedom, right? Do you agree? No reactions. Switch from fear to freedom, from hate to happiness. Right? So that's a challenge.That true partner would challenge you to think about at least and do it. Next is "A" alignment. Alignment means to line up beautifully and properly. So just imagine a marching band. Marching band, Okay? And the band... If the trumpet decides I'm going this way. The Drum decides that I'm going this way. What happens?
7:05
It's out of alignment. It's not very beautiful. You've got to have the same direction and keep the proper related distance, right? So that's alignment. A true partner empowers you to be aligned your mind, to your body and your heart in order to maintain total well being, total health. It's very important because sometimes your mind says, especially your frontal lobe of your brain says "Wow, it's midnight, it's time for snacks, I want soup, noodle, ramen of Japanese". l want some, but your body says "Give me a break". And my body or your body screams and says you know you're what you eat, there's this your conflict. Your heart says "please guys don't fight " That's misalignment.
8: 16
So for you well being, Okay? You need  to align these three. they're very important. They're part of your being. And also to be aligned for happiness well being and also..and also to your dream. You want to move toward as the same direction to the vision to great dream, okay?  So that's very important and also your true partner teaches sometimes very important to keep, to maintain a successful relationship. That is to keep the proper distance between your parent. Proper distance, that's very important. You got to close suffocating. If you're get too far. Where is my partner? Lonely. Lonely. You have to maintain the proper distance in other word ouch. "Ouch!" I don't know if you recognize this picture, these are a couple of animals called porcupine. Porcupine. There are animals. There has many, many sharp needles. Do you know what happens? Sharp needles hurt. They want to kiss each other. It's very difficult. They are very, very challenging. Ouch! Ouch! So they don't have to risk their lives. So keep the proper distance, not too far, not to close. That's the alignment.
9:55
Now, "T" Trust. So every one agrees that trust is important. But if you and when you have a true partner, he enables you to trust that you matter. You matter. And also life matters.  Life matters. You matter because you're here for a reason, you're existing, your presence matters.  And if you're thinking really think about someone, someone who smiles, because you're there. You see. Then you matter if you could make one person smile. Then you matter. You can make a difference. You can change the world. You can save the greater goodness if only you choose to do something.
10:56
And life matters. Life matters, because there're so many reasons. You wake up in the morning and open the windows, you extend your arms to the sky and embrace the sun and listen to the sound of the wind and birds. Listen with your hobby, smell the fresh leaves of early summer and if the sun is taking a break. I'm on vacation.
11:30
You can enjoy the concert of raindrops and after the concert, you can enjoy, you can feel of the freshness of the air and you know, sooner or later. Here comes the sun. See if only you stop and you care and you choose to look, to listen, to smell, to taste, to touch and feel. You know that you need in life is filled with wonder than happiness. Life matters. So true partner share the cat, challenge, alignment and trust. Three  very important drivers of happiness. Now, let me ask you one again. Do you have a true partner? Great! I'm very happy for you. Now as for me I do but before I share my story about me and my true partner. Let me draw your attention to compatibility.
12:58
Whether you get along with your partner or not, compatibility is important. And do you know that many Japanese do to find out if they're compatible with their parent or their potential partners? Look up at the night sky and ask the stars, zodiac sign. How many of you know your zodiac sign? Raise your hand. Okay. Almost every one. Every one knows expect for non Japanese people. Okay? Right?  I also know my zodiac sign. It's a kind of attractive name. Crab in Japanese, and in English cancer. Cute. And I am a cancer. I have cancer but it does not have me. I have cancer but it does not have me because I have always been and I am..and I will always be in charge of my life, I'm the boss of my life. Six years ago, I was visited by this uninvited guest and I was overwhelmed. But over the years, this uninvited guest and I have come to terms with each other and have learned to live with each other and cancer and I have become true partners. You don't believe me? right? But we have truly become true partners and my life is never the same because my true partner has forced disruptive change but and me. I have transformed. I am happier and I believe that I'm a better person. Thanks to my true partner. And I mean that he is my true partner because he shares the cat, "C" "A" "T." And I mean that. And let me tell you a little bit about my story. My true partner challenges me to choose happiness over hate.
15:3
Why do we have to in this position on more happiness over hate? And freedom  over fear and trust me on this. I am afraid of noting. I am afraid of noting. I'm so eager to make most of my life and time. My precious time with my friends every moment. And I was never like that before because I feel nothing. I replace that with freedom. Thanks my partner. And so my true partner challenges me to not just survive  but to thrive, thrive in this incredible journney of life.
16:32
"A" alignment. my true partner empowers me to be aligned to my mind, body and my heart. And now I eat the right food and I do the right thing. I'm very  careful and I also care very much about my total well being before I didn't care it so much. Thanks to my partner and also to my dream. My dream is I want to be more useful. I want to change the world. I want if I can change just one person for better on myself better then, I am very happy. So I have dreams and I know I'm going.
17:22
So my true partner has done all that. And another important thing is keeping the right distance with my partner if I think about my true partner 24 hours a day, ouch! So I don't do that. I sometimes forget about my partner. That's good and next is trust. Trust. My true partner enables me to trust that. I matter. I matter and to trust that life matters because life is filled with so many beautiful things, and wonders, and life is worth living on matter what. So this is what my true partner has done for me. Okay. And I can make right choices now. This is my story about me and my true partner. Now some of you may not be blessed with such a powerful partner like mine. And you may be looking for a true partner and some of you might not be very successful. Where is my partner?  Where is she? Where is he? My advice, trust me on this. Just stop. Perhaps, perhaps, you're not looking for your partner in the right place. Where are you looking? What are you looking for?
19:15
And stop and listen to your inner voice, inner voice. And you'll start listening and hear the voice of your partner, because your true partner is right there with you within your heart waiting to be discovered. Your true partner is you. So this is my story. This is my advice. That's a true partner. I choose to be happy. Thank you very much. Thank you for being great partners.

Summary
I don't believe that this become the last stage for the speaker, because she passed away two months after this. She must have noticed her condition. I wanted her to stand on the TED stage more. My reader who recommend me this talk and I want her talk to be known by many people. This has power and energy that's enough to encourage you and she kindly and beautifully told us.

You and your true partner have to share the challenge, alignment and trust between each other. By challenge, you can choose happiness and freedom. You can switch from hate to happiness and from fear to freedom. You need to have the same mind, heart and thought about health and action with your true partner. You have to align with your true partner. By trusting you and your true partner, you can believe you matter and life matter. Stop looking for a true partner and listen to your inner voice. Your true partner will wait to be discovered by you. Your true partner is you, yourself.

Full text of President Obama’s speech at Pearl Harbor (article)
Summary
Why is Hiroshima only paid attention, when we think and talk about The World War II? Have many Japanese listened carefully to Obama's great speech? People should not blame what other people did but they ignore what themselves did. All countries have bad memories which occurred a long time ago, and which they don't want to talk about. They want to hide them. Obama said, "As nations, and as people, we cannot choose the history that we inherit, but we can choose what lessons to draw from it, and use those lessons to chart our own futures.
However, I think that these words would only deserve the citizens who admit their history. In Hiroshima, no Japanese people would say the same things if Obama speeches about the power of reconciliation in Hiroshima.
Please tell the speech to Hiroshima.
"There is more to be won in peace than in war. The reconciliation carries more rewards than retribution." There are victims of war not only in Hiroshima but in Pearl Harbor and other countries. We should take it very seriously and send the message to the world.

Shinzo Abe at Pearl Harbor: ‘Rest in Peace, Precious Souls of the Fallen’(script)
Summary
On  May 2016, President Obama visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, where the United States first dropped an atomic bomb in Japan nearly 75 years ago. As an American president, he was the first person who visited there.
On December 27, 2016, the prime minister of Japan Shinzo Abe stood there at Pearl Harbor, wherein after the war, Japanese minister had never visited but this is the place where the Imperial Japanese soldiers went into attack first.
The attack led to the United States'entry into The World War II. I want people in the world to think that the two events can create the power of reconciliation. And then I think that the most important thing is that we Japanese people's attitudes have to make this word "reconciliation"  better. When we think and talk about The World War II and Hiroshima, we have to admit what happened at Pearl Harbor more. We have to give precious souls of the fallen rest in peace. We must never repeat the horrors of war again. We continue to remember them but we continue our efforts.

Bono 2: The good news on poverty (Yes, there's good news)


TED2013
Bono 2: The good news on poverty (Yes, there's good news) (script)
Summary
The speaker Bono is Irish who received the TED prize on 2005 and he has tackled the anti-poverty campaigning for 25 years. In fact, there has been inequality and poverty from three millennia. At last, we can see the good news about it and it's speeding up. Some African countries are getting drugs to save from HIV and AIDS and from malaria, children started to be saved. The child mortality rate is decreasing. Thanks to the world financial support. People living in huge poverty is going to zero in 2030.
All people can choose their lives, it'll change despair to hope. However,  the activities should be continued and there's still work to do. We face a new problem that is political corruption. In developing countries, oil is the most important resource but it shouldn't be controlled by government and companies. It should be distributed to people living there.
There's still work to do because the power of people gathering is so much stronger than their authority.

apathy / lack of interest
inertia / a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged.

Summary
The speaker said in this talk that Africa was a magical place. However, many African people are dying every single day but the cause is a preventable or treatable disease. That is not the cause. That has already been an emergency but we don't look at it. This is an unprecedented threat to human dignity and equality. It's never allowed to happen anywhere else. Actually, African might mock our ideas and concern, but we have to do. It's because this is not all that about theoretical charity. This is about justice.  His three wishes are to build a social movement for Africa, to just hit them who are living on less than one dollar a day, and to connect their lives to every hospital, health clinic and school in one African country. What we do is not only to save African lives but we can also receive goodwill, stability, and security of would.
How do you answer if you're asked by African to take his son with you? His son would live in your country, but in his country, his son would die.

TED prize 2013 Sugata Mitra 3: Build a School in the Cloud (script)
Summary
What kind of job can you get in the future by only having the skills you learn now?
The world has lots of computers. However, children, especially children living in poor areas don't know about it and they don't even have a chance to touch them. Education should be equal for all children. They have abilities to learn themselves. They won't need teachers. If someone who teaches children just admires them, their skills will get better.
Self Organized Learning Environment (SOLE) is a school that the speaker wants to create in the cloud. It's designed for the future of learning where children all over the world freely learn with their own hands. Furthermore, they can enjoy and cooperate with their friends. They don't need to go to boring schools unwillingly. They can be ready for their own future.
Words in this story

Sugata Mitra2: The child-driven education (script)
Summary
You can use a computer when you study something, can't you? However, there are many children in the world who can't receive good education still but they don't have a computer. Furthermore, there are very far areas from the city and teachers don't want to go there where English is not used  also.
Then the speaker noticed that all children have a motivation that they can learn themselves and those problems can be solved simultaneously.
He is building a furniture. Why it is called like that. It is because it started in some slums by a computer embedded into a wall like a furniture. It's called the Self Organized  Learning Environments (SOLE) and tested many times. Children can learn many things by themselves, by using it. Even if there is no teacher there, they can study.
It's needed more tests. Education happens when children have interest. It should be started.
Words in this story
mediator / a person who attempts to make people involved in a conflict come to an agreement; a go-between. negotiator, peacemaker.
enthusiastic / prosperous, extensive, energetic

Sugata Mitra1: Kids can teach themselves


TED 2007
Sugata Mitra1: Kids can teach themselves (script)
summary
What do you think about taking education and technology? You think that it won't be needed there, don't you. It shows that there are students who can receive better education already. It's because it's tested in the best schools in the urban. There are perfect teachers and perfect schools there. If students live in areas which are very far from the city, and which teaches don't want to go, they won't receive better education. Future educational technology should be used for such students. We have to think that remoteness affects the quality of education. Educational technology should be introduced into remote areas first. There are values that doctrine and dogma are imposed on the education. Leaving is most likely a self organizing system. It's not how to use the correct technology for education but an educational technology should be digital, automatic, fault tolerant, minimally invasive, connected and self organized. It's because children in the world have skills that can teach themselves.
Words in this story
remoteness / solitude, isolation
doctrine / a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a church, political party, or other group.
dogma /a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true. : teaching, belief

TED prize 2014 Charmian Gooch: My wish: To launch a new era of openness in business (script)
Summary
Now some companies are stealing millions from citizens around the world. Then its companies are hidden by anonymous companies. It makes it almost hard to find and hold them responsible. It quite spread. Anonymous companies really work for sanctions busting. It's because opening an anonymous company is really easy. You don't need indemnification. There are company service providers which legally create anonymous companies. Even if you don't use your true name but you can use nominees, it's not for public record. And then, you can simply add layers that mean that companies owed by companies again and again.
In the past, companies were created to limit financial risk and to give people a chance to innovate, but now it's forgotten. However, it shouldn't be all accepted what companies do or how company structures are used. Anonymous companies shouldn't exist to protect our society and we have to know who owes and control companies.
Words in this story
anonymous / (of a person) not identified by name; of unknown name.

Summary
In the near future, you can probably find Itjtawy which was ancient Egypt's capital over four thousand years ago by using satellite data. It's not enough to see and find it with your naked eyes. Using NASA topography, it can map very subtle landscape where there was  the Nile river. It showed a very slight raised area there and the work that is coring was done. And then, there was a layer of human occupation that was a dense layer of pottery including carnelian, quartz and agate.

Monica Lewinsky: The price of shame (script)
Summary
When you hear the word "culture",  you probably think about music, art and something that you can be proud of. However, culture includes the definition of habits, traditions, and beliefs. Now, our world has the internet. It's created a lot of things. Among them, culture of humiliation has been created unintentionally. So we don't notice that people's private words, actions, conversations or photos are stolen without consent, and it's made them public without compassion. It's not related to either the fact that someone actually makes a mistake, or whether the person who is famous.
Further, online and technology help make them a public shame . It's unlimitedly and permanently accessible and traffics on the website also. It becomes cyber bullying that leads to excruciating and suicidal tendencies but it numbly continues.
The internet should be a great technology, creating wonderful connection with people and the place where can foster minority influence, not the place  where it spreads culture of humiliation.
There is lack of compassion on not only online but also offline. There is no person who doesn't make a mistake. Anyone even who is suffering from shame and public humiliation deserve compassion. We have to change our world to have a more compassionate world.
Words in this story
consent /  agreement, assent, acceptance, approval
compassion /  pity, sympathy, empathy
foster / cultivate
humiliation / stigma, embarrassment, mortification, shame
compassion /  empathy,
traffic / deal or trade in something illegal.
public / done, perceived, or existing in open view.

JR: My wish: Use art to turn the world inside out (script)
Summary
Someone explain the art to someone who didn't understand it. That is art that you try to understand it for a long time and you are listening to its explanation to understand well and discuss with your fellows hard. During that time, you haven't thought about what you're going to eat tomorrow.
The art the speaker do is not difficult. The museums are also not necessary. The streets, paper and glue, he only uses it. Although his art might be an illegal art exhibition, it's wonderful for people who can't go to museums and  who are hungry for art and culture to feel it. By using their photos, they can feel that this art belongs to them. And then, this art can travel with their stories.
Everyone must have something that you want to care about or to stand for or tell the story. He can make it art. You can join and reveal it to the world. This is one step to change the world. It can't directly change, but the art can change perceptions.

Bjorn Lomborg: Global priorities bigger than climate change


TED 2005
Bjorn Lomborg: Global priorities bigger than climate change (script)
Summary
In the world, there are a lot of problems that there are people starving, dying of HIV and AID, without clean drinking water, and without sanitation. There are people who will be severely affected by climate change also.
The speaker suggests us to prioritize the big problems in the world. It means that people decide what should be the top priorities and the bottom priorities of the solutions that they have to the world's biggest issues. It's because we don't actually solve all problems. It won't be good that spending a lot of money doing a little good. Money of the world has a limit. If we use the money to protect some diseases, it's 10 times more than treating it.
Then he made many people who have a different work write the top and the bottom priorities  list.
The surprising answer was figured out. Even while Americans and other people said that the malnutrition and diseases are solved at the top and climate change at the bottom. He summarized that let's do not the things that we can do very little at a very high cost and we don't know how to do, but let's do the great things that we can do an enormous amount of better at very low cost, right now.
However, I don't think that. It's because until now we seek only benefit to do something that everybody wants to do at first. Its outcome is the present. Developing countries force responsibility onto developed countries. Developed countries force all things that developing countries can't do onto them. So this is the time for all countriesto to cooperate. The money have to be used for the protection that the speaker said. Before our earth becomes heavy ill which called climate change, we have to protect it.
Words in this story
prioritize /verb/ designate or treat (something) as more important than other things.
priority /noun/ a thing that is regarded as more important than another.
substantial /  considerable, real, significant, important
pessimistic /  gloomy, negative

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the TEDWomen Conference


December 8, 2010
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the TEDWomen Conference (script)
The Ronald Reagan Building. Washington, D.C.
Summary
Even in the United States, men and women are not equal. In the world, there are many inequalities. The world has its problems such as; women can't go to school, girls have to get married early and there is  violence against women. And then, those problems are hidden and even the victims can't talk about them. If the countries send girls to school even just for one year, their lives and countries can be changed dramatically. The countries, men and boys have to admit to value not only their sisters and daughters but all women and girls, and to invest in them.
Every woman and girl in the world have to be empowered and have a chance to live up their dreams and aspirations as well. There are many things to do together for them. It's worth for us, says the speaker Hillary Clinton .

TED prize 2007 Bill Clinton: My wish: Rebuilding Rwanda (script)
Summary
This TED Talk accepted the 2007 TED Prize. The speaker Bill Clinton was the President of the United States of America from 1993 to 2001.
He now organizes his foundation and tackles some world problems that are to alleviate poverty, fight disease, combat climate change, bridge the religious, racial and other divides that torment the world. His wish is not just helping them but developing a model for rural health care in a very poor area and its model would be spread and implemented in the rest of the poor areas. If it's applied, it could save hundreds of millions of lives over the next decade. It's worth to try. He believes that it would succeed and ask us to support something.
