Bez bazena i koncertnog klavira: Inspirativna priča Melike Buza o uspjehu u BiH

Prateci Olimpijske Igre u Parizu i nase sportiste, pogotovo nasu Lanu Pudar, osjecam potrebu da napisem par rijeci. Iako se bavim muzikom, necim sto neki ne bi nikada povezali sa vrhunskim sportom, moram da kazem da te dvije branse dijele nevjerovatne slicnosti. Procitah jucer u jednom tekstu, da je to sto Lana uspijeva bez bazena, kao da neko nauci svirati koncertni klavir na papiru…Toliko sam se mogla poistovijetiti sa tom recenicom, jer sam cijeli zivot u toj situaciji, sa losim instrumentom kod kuce, koji su moji roditelji sa puno ljubavi priustili, ali koji nije to sto mi treba, sa losom sistemskom podrskom, iz grada koji nema niti polukoncertni klavir, bez stipendije, a ipak sam uspjela da predstavim svoju drzavu u 15 zemalja svijeta i da pokazem da i BiH ima sjajne klasicne muzicare.
Ljudi cesto vide samo nagrade i priznanja, povrsinski poprate, a ne vide koliko rada se krije iza vrhunskog sporta, pijanizma, umjetnosti, nauke, ma bilo cega, sto radimo sa ljubavlju i u zelji sto boljeg predstavljanja, kako sebe, tako i nase drzave.
Kao neko ko se bavi pijanizmom, umjetnoscu u kojoj na takmicenjima isto tako imamo samo jednu sansu, a koja, zbog pritiska i treme moze da bude u potpunosti izgubljena, zelim da kazem da u potpunosti razumijem Lanu i da zamolim sve zvanicnile ove drzave, obicne ljude koji su nam cesto najveca podrska, da otvore oci i usi, a prije svega svoja srca. ♥️ Bosna i Hercegovina ima neizmijerno puno talenata, i najveca zelja bi mi bila da se nama svima pruzi podrska, bez tolikog pritiska, bez ocekivanja, cak i cim se primijeti talenat, a ne nakon sto roditelji ili klubovi moraju da kucaju na sva vrata, da bi dobili pomoc za odlazak na takmicenje…Zelim da i mi imamo dovoljno bazena, koncertnih klavira, uslova, kako bi i neka nova Lana Pudar, novi Ivo Pogorelic ili Stefan Milenkovic izronili na povrsinu sa naseg podneblja.
Lani zelim sve najbolje i glavu gore. Svi smo uz tebe! ♥️🇧🇦

Following the Olympic Games in Paris and our athletes, especially our Lana Pudar, I feel the need to write a few words… Although I am involved in music, something that some would never associate with top-level sports, I must say that these two fields share incredible similarities… I read yesterday in an article that what Lana achieves without a pool is like someone learning to play a concert piano on paper… I could relate so much to that sentence because I have been in that situation my whole life, with a poor-quality instrument at home that my parents lovingly provided but which is not what I need, with poor systemic support, from a city that doesn’t even have a concert piano, without a scholarship, and yet I managed to represent my country in 15 countries around the world and show that Bosnia and Herzegovina also has excellent classical musicians.

People often only see the awards and recognition, follow it superficially, and don’t see how much work is behind top-level sports, piano playing, art, science, or anything we do with love and the desire to represent both ourselves and our country as best we can.

As someone who is involved in piano playing, an art where we also only have one chance at competitions, and which, due to pressure and stage fright, can be completely lost, I want to say that I fully understand Lana and ask all the officials of this country, and the ordinary people who are often our greatest support, to open their eyes and ears, but above all their hearts. ♥️ Bosnia and Herzegovina has an immense amount of talent, and my greatest wish would be for all of us to be given support, without so much pressure, without expectations, even as soon as talent is noticed, and not after parents or clubs have to knock on every door to get help for participating in a competition… I wish that we too have enough pools, concert pianos, conditions, so that a new Lana Pudar, a new Ivo Pogorelic, or Stefan Milenkovic can emerge from our region.

I wish Lana all the best and to keep her head up. We are all with you! ♥️🇧🇦
