Aquesta és una presentació de dues hores per a estudiants de secundària. abreviada a tres minuts. Tot va començar un dia a un avió, anant a una xerrada TED, fa set anys. I al seient del meu costat hi havia una estudiant de secundària, una adolescent, de familia molt pobra. Volia fer alguna cosa de profit amb la seva vida, i em va fer una simple pregunta. Em va dir: " Quina és la clau de l'èxit?" Em vaig sentir molt malament perquè no li podia donar una bona resposta. Vaig baixar de l'avió, vaig venir al TED, I vaig pensar "Ostres! Estic al mig d'una sala plena de triomfadors! Per què no els pregunto què els va portar a l'èxit i ho explico als nois?" I aquí estem, set anys i 500 entrevistes més tard, i us diré quines són les claus de l'èxit i què mou a la gent TED. La primera cosa és la passió. Freeman Thomas diu: "Em mou la meva passió." La gent TED fan les coses per amor, no per diners. Carol Coletta diu, "Pagaria per fer la meva feina" I allò més interessant és que, si ho fas per amor, els diners arriben igualment. Treball! Rupert Murdoch em va dir: "Es tracta d'escarrassar-se" Res ve regalat. Però em diverteixo molt!" Diu que es diverteix? Rupert? Sí! La gent TED es diverteix treballant. I s'hi escarrassen. Tal com m'ho imagino, no són addictes a la feina. S'ho munten amb la feina. Bé! Alex Garden diu que "per triomfar, has de dedicar-te a alguna cosa seriosament
This is really a two-hour presentation I give to high school students, cut down to three minutes. And it all started one day on a plane, on my way to TED, seven years ago. And in the seat next to me was a high school student, a teenager, and she came from a really poor family. And she wanted to make something of her life, and she asked me a simple little question. She said, "What leads to success?" And I felt really badly, because I couldn't give her a good answer. So I get off the plane, and I come to TED. And I think, jeez, I'm in the middle of a room of successful people! So why don't I ask them what helped them succeed, and pass it on to kids? So here we are, seven years, 500 interviews later, and I'm going to tell you what really leads to success and makes TEDsters tick. And the first thing is passion. Freeman Thomas says, "I'm driven by my passion." TEDsters do it for love; they don't do it for money. Carol Coletta says, "I would pay someone to do what I do." And the interesting thing is: if you do it for love, the money comes anyway. Work! Rupert Murdoch said to me, "It's all hard work. Nothing comes easily. But I have a lot of fun." Did he say fun? Rupert? Yes! (Laughter) TEDsters do have fun working. And they work hard. I figured, they're not workaholics. They're workafrolics. (Laughter)
Good!
i fer-t'hi molt bo" No és màgia. És pràctica, pràctica i pràctica. I centrar-se. Norman Jewison em va dir
(Applause) Alex Garden says, "To be successful, put your nose down in something and get damn good at it." There's no magic; it's practice, practice, practice.
"Crec que tot té a veure amb estar centrat en una cosa" I tira endavant! David Gallo diu: "Empeny.
And it's focus. Norman Jewison said to me, "I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing."
Físicament, mentalment, has d'empènyer, empènyer, empènyer" Has d'empènyer més enllà de la timidesa i de la inseguretat. Goldie Hawn diu: "Sempre he estat insegura.
And push! David Gallo says, "Push yourself. Physically, mentally, you've got to push, push, push." You've got to push through shyness and self-doubt.
No era prou bona, ni prou intel·ligent. No creia en mi mateixa. No sempre és fàcil tirar endavant, i és per això que es van inventar les mares. (Riures)
Goldie Hawn says, "I always had self-doubts. I wasn't good enough; I wasn't smart enough. I didn't think I'd make it." Now it's not always easy to push yourself, and that's why they invented mothers.
Frank Gehry -- Frank Gehry em va dir, "La meva mare em va empènyer." Serveix! Sherwin Nuland diu, "Va ser un privilegi exercir de metge."
(Laughter) (Applause) Frank Gehry said to me, "My mother pushed me." (Laughter)
Molts nens em diuen que volen ser milionaris I la primera cosa que els dic és: "Val, però no et pots servir a tu mateix, has de servir als altres alguna cosa de valor. Perquè és així com la gent es fa rica." Idees. Bill Gates diu, "vaig tenir una idea-- fundant la primera companyia de software per micro-ordinadors" Jo diria que va ser una molt bona idea. I no hi ha màgia per a la creativitat a l'hora de trobar bones idees, només es tracta de fer algunes coses molt simples. N'he donat moltes proves. Persisteix. Joe Kraus diu, "La persistència és la raó número 1 per al nostre èxit." Has de persistir a pesar del fracàs. Has de persistir a pesar de la merda (CRAP)! Que significa "Crítica, Rebuig, Ases i Pressió" (Riures) Així doncs, la resposta per a aquesta pregunta és simple: Paga 4.000 dòlars i vine a TED. Si no, fes les vuit coses -- i confia en mi, aquestes són les vuit accions que et portaràn a l'èxit Gràcies gent de TED per les vostres entrevistes!
Serve! Sherwin Nuland says, "It was a privilege to serve as a doctor." A lot of kids want to be millionaires. The first thing I say is: "OK, well you can't serve yourself; you've got to serve others something of value. Because that's the way people really get rich." Ideas! TEDster Bill Gates says, "I had an idea: founding the first micro-computer software company." I'd say it was a pretty good idea. And there's no magic to creativity in coming up with ideas -- it's just doing some very simple things. And I give lots of evidence. Persist! Joe Kraus says, "Persistence is the number one reason for our success." You've got to persist through failure. You've got to persist through crap! Which of course means "Criticism, Rejection, Assholes and Pressure." (Laughter) So, the answer to this question is simple: Pay 4,000 bucks and come to TED. (Laughter) Or failing that, do the eight things -- and trust me, these are the big eight things that lead to success. Thank you TEDsters for all your interviews!
