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.
Ovo je zapravo dvosatna prezentacija za studente, koju sam skratio na tri minuta. Sve je počelo jednog dana u avionu, na mom putu na TED, pre sedam godina. Pored mene je sedela srudentkinja, tinejdžer, koja je poticala iz veoma siromašne porodice. Želela je da napravi nešto od svog života, i postavila mi je malo jednostavno pitanje. Pitala je "Šta vodi ka uspehu?" Osećao sam se jako loše jer joj nisam mogao dati dobar odgovor.
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.
Sišao sam sa aviona i došao na TED. Pomislio sam, u sobi sam punoj uspešnih ljudi! Zašto njih ne ne bih pitao šta im je pomoglo da uspeju, i preneo to mladima? I evo nas danas, sedam godina i 500 intervjua kasnije, i danas vam mogu reći šta zapravo vodi ka uspehu, i šta pokreće TEDstere.
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.
Prva stvar je strast. Frimen Tomas kaže "Vodi me moja strast." TEDsteri rade iz ljubavi, ne rade zbog novca.
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.
Karol Koleta kaže "Platio bih nekome da radi ono što ja radim." A zanimljiva stvar je to što, ako radite iz ljubavi, novac dođe sam po sebi.
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!
Rad. Rupert Mardok mi je rekao "Sve je to naporan rad. Ništa ne dolazi lako. Ipak, puno se i zabavljam." Da li je rekao da se zabavlja? Rupert? Da!
(Laughter)
TEDsteri se zabavljaju dok rade. I rade naporno.
TEDsters do have fun working. And they work hard. I figured, they're not workaholics. They're workafrolics.
Zaključio sam da oni nisu radoholičari. Oni su "zabavoholičari".
(Laughter)
Biti dobar! Aleks Garden je rekao "Da bi bio uspešan u nečemu moraš se tome posvetiti
Good!
(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.
i postati jako dobar u tome." Nema magije, sve je vežba, vežba i vežba. I tu je fokus. Norman Džejvison mi je rekao
And it's focus. Norman Jewison said to me, "I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing."
"Mislim da to sve ima veze sa fokusiranjem na jednu stvar." Trudi se. Dejvid Galo je rekao "Trudi se.
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.
Fizički, mentalno, moraš se truditi, truditi i truditi." Moraš nadvladati sramežljivost i nesigurnost. Goldi Hon kaže "Uvek sam bila nesigurna u sebe.
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."
Nisam bila dovoljno dobra, nisam bila dovoljno pametna. Nisam mislila da ću uspeti."
Now it's not always easy to push yourself, and that's why they invented mothers.
Nije lako sam sebe gurati ali zato su izmislili mene. (Smeh)
(Laughter)
(Applause) Frank Gehry said to me, "My mother pushed me."
Frenk Geri - Frenk Geri mi je rekao "Moja majka me je gurala."
(Laughter)
Služiti. Šervin Nulend kaže "Bilo je privilegija služiti kao doktor."
Serve! Sherwin Nuland says, "It was a privilege to serve as a doctor."
Mnogo mladih mi kaže da žele biti milioneri.
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."
I prva stvar koju im kažem je "Dobro, ali ne možeš raditi samo za sebe, moraš i drugima pružiti nešto što ima vrednost. To je način kako ljudi postaju zaista bogati."
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.
Ideje. TEDster Bil Gejts kaže "Imao sam ideju - osnovati prvu firmu koja se bavi softverom za mikro-računare." Rekao bih da je to bila prilično dobra ideja. I nema neke velike čarolije u stvaranju dobrih ideja treba samo raditi par jednostavnih stvari. I potkrepiti ih sa puno primera.
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."
Istrajnost. Džo Kraus kaže "Istrajnost je osnova našeg uspeha." Moraš istrajati uprkos padovima i problemima! To uključuje i kritike, odbijanja, kretene i pritiske." (Smeh)
(Laughter)
Prema tome, odgovor na pitanje je jednostavan:
So, the answer to this question is simple: Pay 4,000 bucks and come to TED.
Plati 4000 dolara i dođi na TED.
(Laughter)
Ili ako ti to ne uspe, praktikuj ovih osam stvari - i veruj mi,
Or failing that, do the eight things -- and trust me, these are the big eight things that lead to success.
ovo je osam ključnih stvari, koje dovode do uspeha.
Thank you TEDsters for all your interviews!
Hvala vam TEDsteri za sve intervjue!
(Applause)
