00:00:20.749 --> 00:00:22.189
Good afternoon, everyone.

00:00:22.202 --> 00:00:25.856
They say talent is having faith
in yourself, your strength,

00:00:25.856 --> 00:00:27.546
and your abilities.

00:00:27.546 --> 00:00:31.546
I was lucky enough
to be given that gift by God,

00:00:31.546 --> 00:00:34.346
but three things are very important

00:00:34.346 --> 00:00:38.256
in order to develop
that talent to a certain level.

00:00:38.989 --> 00:00:43.149
These are three
very simple words to be said,

00:00:43.149 --> 00:00:48.269
but actually, no one
is really aware how hard that is.

00:00:48.923 --> 00:00:51.243
First among them is, of course, work.

00:00:51.645 --> 00:00:56.135
To develop a talent
during a certain period of time,

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:00.260
one needs to invest many hours in it.

00:01:00.990 --> 00:01:02.620
On the other hand,

00:01:02.620 --> 00:01:08.830
if you dedicate a certain amount of time
to your talent every day,

00:01:09.575 --> 00:01:12.535
then automatically one needs
to sacrifice a lot of things.

00:01:12.905 --> 00:01:19.153
And if it doesn't come to realization,
unfortunately, that talent deteriorates.

00:01:19.164 --> 00:01:23.164
And the third thing is,
of course, inspiration.

00:01:23.744 --> 00:01:29.294
I find my inspiration
in visiting my home town, Gruža.

00:01:29.294 --> 00:01:31.312
That’s a little village near Kragujevac.

00:01:32.022 --> 00:01:35.942
Since I've been playing for twelve years

00:01:35.942 --> 00:01:40.992
and have been working with children
in a music school in Gruža for 8 years,

00:01:40.992 --> 00:01:43.922
I want to share with them the idea

00:01:43.922 --> 00:01:48.692
that has led me in my musical
development and creativity.

00:01:48.692 --> 00:01:54.262
Actually, that idea is that music
and dance are universal languages.

00:01:54.824 --> 00:01:58.974
That is why I would ask you
to allow me to introduce myself

00:01:58.974 --> 00:02:01.764
through the language
that doesn't need a translator.

00:02:10.285 --> 00:02:12.425
(Music starts)

00:06:20.687 --> 00:06:22.077
(Music ends)

00:06:22.077 --> 00:06:24.207
(Applause)
