Derek Sivers
Through his new project, MuckWork, Derek Sivers wants to lessen the burdens (and boredom) of creative people.
Why you should listen
Derek Sivers is best known as the founder of CD Baby. A professional musician since 1987, he started CD Baby by accident in 1998 when he was selling his own CD on his website, and friends asked if he could sell theirs, too. CD Baby was the largest seller of independent music on the web, with over $100M in sales for over 150,000 musician clients.
In 2008, Sivers sold CD Baby to focus on his new ventures to benefit musicians, including his new company, MuckWork, where teams of efficient assistants help musicians do their "uncreative dirty work."
What others say
“Derek Sivers is changing the way music is bought and sold. A musicians' savior. One of the last music-business folk heroes.” — Esquire

So, imagine you're standing on a street anywhere in America and a Japanese man comes up to you and says,
00:18
"Excuse me, what is the name of this block?"
00:20
And you say, "I'm sorry, well, this is Oak Street, that's Elm Street. This is 26th, that's 27th."
00:26
He says, "OK, but what is the name of that block?"
00:28
You say, "Well, blocks don't have names. Streets have names; blocks are just the unnamed spaces in between streets."
00:35
He leaves, a little confused and disappointed.
00:39
So, now imagine you're standing on a street, anywhere in Japan, you turn to a person next to you and say,
00:44
"Excuse me, what is the name of this street?"
00:46
They say, "Oh, well that's Block 17 and this is Block 16."
00:50
And you say, "OK, but what is the name of this street?"
00:53
And they say, "Well, streets don't have names. Blocks have names. Just look at Google Maps here. There's Block 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. All of these blocks have names, and the streets are just the unnamed spaces in between the blocks.
01:07
And you say then, "OK, then how do you know your home address?"
01:10
He said, "Well, easy, this is District Eight. There's Block 17, house number one."
01:16
You say, "OK, but walking around the neighborhood, I noticed that the house numbers don't go in order."
01:20
He says, "Of course they do. They go in the order in which they were built. The first house ever built on a block is house number one. The second house ever built is house number two. Third is house number three. It's easy. It's obvious."
01:31
So, I love that sometimes we need to go to the opposite side of the world to realize assumptions we didn't even know we had, and realize that the opposite of them may also be true.
01:41
So, for example, there are doctors in China who believe that it's their job to keep you healthy. So, any month you are healthy you pay them, and when you're sick you don't have to pay them because they failed at their job. They get rich when you're healthy, not sick. (Applause)
01:55
In most music, we think of the "one" as the downbeat, the beginning of the musical phrase: one, two, three, four. But in West African music, the "one" is thought of as the end of the phrase, like the period at the end of a sentence. So, you can hear it not just in the phrasing, but the way they count off their music: two, three, four, one.
02:12
And this map is also accurate. (Laughter)
02:17
There's a saying that whatever true thing you can say about India, the opposite is also true. So, let's never forget, whether at TED, or anywhere else, that whatever brilliant ideas you have or hear, that the opposite may also be true. Domo arigato gozaimashita.

好,假设你现在站在美国任何一个地方的街道上 一个日本人走过来跟你说,
00:18
“打扰一下,请问这栋街区叫什么名字?”
00:20
而你说,“不知道。不过,这条是橡树街,那条是榆树街。 这条是26街,那条是27街。”
00:26
他说,“哦,好的。那这栋街区叫什么名字呢?”
00:28
你说,“街区是没有名字的。 街道才有名字;街区只不过是 街道之间的未命名的空间。”
00:35
他带着一点疑惑和失望离开了。
00:39
好,现在假设你正站在日本某个地方的街道上, 你找到你旁边的一个人说,
00:44
“打扰一下,请问这条街道叫什么名字?”
00:46
他们说,“哦,那栋是17街区,这栋是16街区。”
00:50
你说,“好的,那这条街道叫什么呢?”
00:53
他们会说,“啊,街道是没有名字的。 街区才有名字。 看一下这张谷歌地图,这里有14,15,16,17,18,19街区。 这些街区都有名字。 街道只不过是街区之间那些未命名的空间。
01:07
那你会说了,“好吧,那你怎么写你的家庭住址呢?”
01:10
他说,“嗨,简单,这里是第八区, 17街区,一号房屋。”
01:16
你说,“好吧,但是在邻里四周转转, 我发现房屋号码不是按顺序排的。”
01:20
他说,“当然不是。他们是按他们建造的时间顺序来排序的。 街区里第一所建造的房子是一号房屋。 第二所建造的房子是二号房屋。 第三所是三号房屋。很简单,很明显。”
01:31
所以,我认为有时候我们需要 去世界的另一端 去验证那些我们不以为意的偏见, 去验证我们偏见的反面可能也是正确的。
01:41
例如,中国的医生 认为保持你的健康是他们的职责。 所以,你健康的时候你得付钱给他们, 而当你生病的时候你不需要付钱给他们,因为他们 在他们的工作上失职了。他们在你健康而不是生病的时候赚钱。 (掌声)
01:55
在大多数音乐中我们认为第一拍 是强拍,是音阶的开始。一,二,三,四。 但在非洲西部音乐中,第一拍 被认为是音阶的结束, 就像是句子末尾的句号。 因此,你不但可以在音阶中,而且可以从他们打节奏的方法上听到。 二,三,四,一。
02:12
而这张地图也是正确的。 (笑声)
02:17
有个谚语说,无论你说什么关于印度的真理, 反过来它也是正确的。 所以,我们永远不要忘记,无论在TED,或其他任何地方, 无论你有了或听到了什么精妙的思想, 那反面可能也是正确的。 谢谢。(日语)
