When I was seven years old and my sister was just five years old, we were playing on top of a bunk bed. I was two years older than my sister at the time -- I mean, I'm two years older than her now -- but at the time it meant she had to do everything that I wanted to do, and I wanted to play war. So we were up on top of our bunk beds. And on one side of the bunk bed, I had put out all of my G.I. Joe soldiers and weaponry. And on the other side were all my sister's My Little Ponies ready for a cavalry charge.
Kur une isha shtate vjece dhe motra ime ishte vetem pese vjece, ne ishim duke lujatur mbi krevat. Ne ate kohe une isha dy vite me i madhe se motra ime-- Domethene, une jam dy vite me i madh se ajo edhe tani-- por në atë kohë do te thoshte se ajo kishte për të bërë gjithçka që kam kërkuar për të bërë, dhe une deshiroja te luanim me lufte. Pra ne u ngritem lart ne krevatet tane. Dhe ne njeren pjese te krevatit, U desh te nxirrja te gjithe ushtaret e mi G.I. Joe dhe armet. Dhe ne anen tjeter ishin gjithe motrat e mia My Little Ponies gati per nje pagese kaloresi.
There are differing accounts of what actually happened that afternoon, but since my sister is not here with us today, let me tell you the true story --
Ka shpjegime te ndryshme se cfare me te vertete ndodhi ate pasdite, por perderisa motra ime nuk eshte me ne ketu sot, me lejoni te ju tregoj historine e vertete --
(Laughter)
(Buzeqeshje) --
which is my sister's a little on the clumsy side. Somehow, without any help or push from her older brother at all, Amy disappeared off of the top of the bunk bed and landed with this crash on the floor. I nervously peered over the side of the bed to see what had befallen my fallen sister and saw that she had landed painfully on her hands and knees on all fours on the ground.
e cila eshte nje histori qe tregon anen e ngathte te saj. Disi, pa asnjë ndihmë ose shtytje nga vëllai i saj me i madh, papritmas Amy zhduket nga maja e shtratit dhe zbriti me kete perplasje ne dysheme. Tani une me nervozizem dal mbi anen tjeter te shtratit per te pare cka kishte ndodhur me motren time te rene dhe e pash qe ajo kishte rene ne toke ne duar dhe gjunje me te kater gjymtyret ne toke.
I was nervous because my parents had charged me with making sure that my sister and I played as safely and as quietly as possible. And seeing as how I had accidentally broken Amy's arm just one week before --
Une isha nervoz sepse prinderit e mi me kishin angazhuar mua te sigurohesha qe motra ime dhe une te luanin sa me te sigurt e te qete qe te ishte e mundur. Dhe duke pare se si une aksidentalisht e theva krahun e Amy-t vetem nje jave para..
(Laughter)
(Buzeqeshje)
(Laughter ends)
....heroikisht duke e shtyre ate nga rruga
heroically pushing her out of the way of an oncoming imaginary sniper bullet,
nga një plumb që vjen përballë snajperit imagjinar,
(Laughter) for which I have yet to be thanked, I was trying as hard as I could -- she didn't even see it coming -- I was trying hard to be on my best behavior.
(Buzeqeshje) per te cilen une ende kam per ta falenderuar, Une ishte duke tentuar aq shume sa une mundesha -- ajo as qe e e pa ate duke ardhur -- Une isha duke tentuar aq shume te sillesha me se miri.
And I saw my sister's face, this wail of pain and suffering and surprise threatening to erupt from her mouth and wake my parents from the long winter's nap for which they had settled. So I did the only thing my frantic seven year-old brain could think to do to avert this tragedy. And if you have children, you've seen this hundreds of times. I said, "Amy, wait. Don't cry. Did you see how you landed? No human lands on all fours like that. Amy, I think this means you're a unicorn."
Dhe une pash fytyren e motres time, ky renkim i dhimbjes dhe vuajtjes dhe surpizes duke me kercenuar se do te tregoj dhe duke me kercenuar te zgjoj prinderit e mi nga gjumi i dimrit. Keshtu qe une bera vetem nje gje truri im prej shtate vjecari po mendonte sesi ta anashkalonte kete tragjedi. Dhe nese ju keni femije, ju e keni pare kete me mijera here me pare. Une thashe, "Amy, Amy, prit. Mos qaj. Mos qaj. A e pe sesi re? Ne asnje toke njerezore nuk pelqehet ajo. Amy, une mendoj se kjo do te thote ju jeni nje njebrireshe."
(Laughter)
(Te qeshura)
Now, that was cheating, because there was nothing she would want more than not to be Amy the hurt five year-old little sister, but Amy the special unicorn. Of course, this option was open to her brain at no point in the past. And you could see how my poor, manipulated sister faced conflict, as her little brain attempted to devote resources to feeling the pain and suffering and surprise she just experienced, or contemplating her new-found identity as a unicorn. And the latter won. Instead of crying or ceasing our play, instead of waking my parents, with all the negative consequences for me, a smile spread across her face and she scrambled back up onto the bunk bed with all the grace of a baby unicorn --
Tani ky ishte mashtrim, sepse nuk kishte asgje ne bote qe motra ime do ta deshironte me shume sesa te mos ishte Amy motra e vogel pese vjecare e lenduar, por Amy njebrireshja speciale. Sigurisht, ky ishte nje opsion qe ishte i hapur ne trurin e saj ne asnje pike ne te kaluaren. Dhe ju mund ta shihni si motra ime e gjore dhe e manipular u ballafaqua me konfliktin, pasi truri i saj i vogel tentoi ti perkushtohet burimeve per te ndjere dhimbjen dhe vuajtjen dhe surprizen qe ajo posa ekspeimentoi, ose duke menduar identitetin e saj te ri si nje njebrireshe. Dhe kjo e fundit fitoi. Ne vend te qarjes, ne vend te nderprerjes se lojes sone, ne vend te zgjimit te prinderve, me te te gjitha pasojat negative qe do te rezultonin per mua, ne vend te kesaj buzeqeshjeje qe u shpernda ne fytyren e saj dhe ajo hipi prape ne shtrat me gjithe hijeshin e nje femije njebriresh.. (Te qeshura)
(Laughter)
....me nje kembe te thyer.
with one broken leg.
Ajo cka na pengonte
What we stumbled across at this tender age of just five and seven -- we had no idea at the time -- was was going be at the vanguard of a scientific revolution occurring two decades later in the way that we look at the human brain. We had stumbled across something called positive psychology, which is the reason I'm here today and the reason that I wake up every morning.
ne kete moshe te brishte te vetem pese dhe shtate vjecareve -- ne nuk kishim asnje ide ne ate kohe -- ishte dicka qe do te ishte ne revulucionin shkencor qe ndodhi dy dekada me vone ne menyre se si ne shikojme trurin njerezor. Ate qe kishin ngecur te gjithe ne eshte dicka qe quhet psikologji pozitive, qe eshte arsyeja qe une jam sot ketu dhe arsyeja qe une zgjohem cdo mengjes. Kur se pari fillova te flas per kete hulumtim
When I started talking about this research outside of academia, with companies and schools, the first thing they said to never do is to start with a graph. The first thing I want to do is start with a graph. This graph looks boring, but it is the reason I get excited and wake up every morning. And this graph doesn't even mean anything; it's fake data. What we found is --
jashte akademise, neper kompani dhe shkolla, gjeja e pare qe ata thane qe mos ta beje kurre eshte te filloj fjalimin me nje grafike. Gjeja e pare qe une dua te beje eshte te filloj fjalimin tim me nje grafike. Ky grafik duket i merzitshem, por ky grafike eshte arsyeja qe une merakosem dhe zgjohem cdo mengjes. Dhe ky grafik nuk nenkupton asgje; jane te dhena te rreme. Cka ne gjejme eshte --
(Laughter)
(Te qeshura)
If I got this data studying you, I would be thrilled, because there's a trend there, and that means that I can get published, which is all that really matters. There is one weird red dot above the curve, there's one weirdo in the room -- I know who you are, I saw you earlier -- that's no problem. That's no problem, as most of you know, because I can just delete that dot. I can delete that dot because that's clearly a measurement error. And we know that's a measurement error because it's messing up my data.
Nese do ti merrja ato te dhena ketu per t'i studiuar, une do te tronditesha, sepse aty eshte shume qarte nje trend qe po ndodh atje, dhe kjo nenkupton se une mundem te publikoj. gje qe ka shume rendesi. Fakti qe eshte nje pike te pazakonte e kuqe qe eshte larte mbi kurbe, eshte nje e cuditshme ne kete dhome -- Une e di kush je, te pash me heret-- nuk ka problem. Nuk ka problem, si shumica prej jush, sepse une nuk mundem ta fshije ate pike. Une mund ta fshije ate pike sepse qarte shihet qe eshte nje gabim ne matje. Dhe ne e dime qe eshte nje gabim ne matje
(Laughter)
sepse po i ngaterron te dhenat.
So one of the first things we teach people in economics, statistics, business and psychology courses is how, in a statistically valid way, do we eliminate the weirdos. How do we eliminate the outliers so we can find the line of best fit? Which is fantastic if I'm trying to find out how many Advil the average person should be taking -- two.
Pra nje nder gjerat e para qe ne i mesojme njerezve ne ekonomi dhe statistike dhe biznes dhe kurse te psikologjise eshte si ne nje menyre statistike valide, ne i elimonojme te cuditshmet. Si i eliminojme personat e vecuar pra ne mund te gjejme vijen se si te pershtatemi me se miri? E cila eshte fantastike nese une tentoj ta gjej sa eshte sasid e Advilit qe nje person mesatar duhet te marr -- dy.
But if I'm interested in your potential, or for happiness or productivity or energy or creativity, we're creating the cult of the average with science. If I asked a question like, "How fast can a child learn how to read in a classroom?" scientists change the answer to "How fast does the average child learn how to read in that classroom?" and we tailor the class towards the average. If you fall below the average, then psychologists get thrilled, because that means you're depressed or have a disorder, or hopefully both. We're hoping for both because our business model is, if you come into a therapy session with one problem, we want to make sure you leave knowing you have ten, so you keep coming back. We'll go back into your childhood if necessary, but eventually we want to make you normal again. But normal is merely average.
Por nese une jam e interesuar ne potencial, nese une jam e interesuar ne potencialin tuaj, ose per lumturine ose produktivitetin ose energjine ose kreativitetin, cka ne jemi duke bere eshte qe ne jemi duke krijuar kultin e mesatares me shkence. Nese une do te beja nje pyetje sikur, " Sa shpejte mundet nje femije te mesoj si te lexoj ne nje klase?" shkenctaret ndryshojne pergjigjen ne" Sa shpejte nje femije mesatar meson si te lexoj ne ate klase?" dhe pastaj e rregullojme klasen drejt mesatares. Tani nese bini poshte mesatares se kesaj kurbe, atehere psikologu do te merakoset, sepse ajo do te thote se ju ose jeni te deshpruar ose ju keni nje crregullim, ose ndoshta te dyja. Ne jemi duke shpresuar per te dyja sepse modeli yne i biznesit eshte, nese ju vini ne nje sesion terapie me nje problem, ne duam te sigruohemi qe ju shkoni duke i ditur qe i keni 10, pra ju vazhdoni te vini perseri e perseri. Ne do te shkojme ne femijerine tuaj nese eshte e nevojshme, por perfundimisht cka ne deshirojme te bejme eshte t'ju bejme perseri normal. Por normal eshte vetem mesatarja.
And positive psychology posits that if we study what is merely average, we will remain merely average. Then instead of deleting those positive outliers, what I intentionally do is come into a population like this one and say, why? Why are some of you high above the curve in terms of intellectual, athletic, musical ability, creativity, energy levels, resiliency in the face of challenge, sense of humor? Whatever it is, instead of deleting you, what I want to do is study you. Because maybe we can glean information, not just how to move people up to the average, but move the entire average up in our companies and schools worldwide.
Dhe cka parashtroj dhe cka parashtron psikologjia pozitive eshte se nese ne studjojme cka eshte vetem mesatare, ne do te mbesim vetem mesatar. Pastaj ne vend qe te fshijme ata persona te vecuar, ajo cka une qellimisht bej eshte te vije ne nje popullesi si kjo dhe te them, pse? Pse ekziston qe disa prej jush jeni shume lart mbi kurbe ne periudha te aftesise tuaj intelektuale, aftesise atletike, aftesise muzikore, kreativitetit, niveleve te energjise, elasticitetit tuaj përballë sfidës, ndjenjes tuaj te humorit? Cfaredo qe te jete, ne vend te fshirjes tuaj, cka une dua te beje eshte te ju studjoj. Sepse ndoshta ne mund te mbledhim informacione -- jo vetem si t'i levizim njerezit tek mesatarja, por si mund te levizim tere mesataren ne kompanite tona dhe shkollat ne mbare boten.
The reason this graph is important to me is, on the news, the majority of the information is not positive. in fact it's negative. Most of it's about murder, corruption, diseases, natural disasters. And very quickly, my brain starts to think that's the accurate ratio of negative to positive in the world. This creates "the medical school syndrome." During the first year of medical training, as you read through a list of all the symptoms and diseases, suddenly you realize you have all of them.
Arsyeja pse ky grafik eshte i rendesishme per mua eshte, kur une ndez lajmet, duket sikur pjesa me e madhe e informacionit nuk eshte pozitive, ne fakt eshte negative. Shumica e tyre është në lidhje me vrasjen, korrupsionin, sëmundjet, fatkeqësitë natyrore. Dhe shume shpejte, truri ime filon te mendoj ky eshte raporti i sakte i negatives tek pozitvja ne bote. Cka po bene ajo eshte krijimi i dickaje i quajtur sindromi mjekesor shkollor -- ku, nese ju njihni njerez qe kane qene ne shkollen e mjeksise, gjate vitit te pare te trajnimit mjekesor, perderisa ju lexoni neper listen te te gjitha simptomave dhe semundjeve qe mund te ju ndodhin, papritmas ju e kuptoni qe ju i keni te gjitha prej tyre.
(Laughter)
Une kam nje dhender i quajtur Bobo -- i cili eshte nje histori tjeter.
I have a brother in-law named Bobo, which is a whole other story. Bobo married Amy the unicorn. Bobo called me on the phone --
Bobo u martua me Amy njebrireshen. Bobo me telefoni mua
(Laughter)
nga Yale Shkolla e Mjekesise,
from Yale Medical School, and Bobo said, "Shawn, I have leprosy."
dhe Bobo tha, "Shawn, une kam lebroz."
(Laughter)
(Te qeshura)
Which, even at Yale, is extraordinarily rare. But I had no idea how to console poor Bobo because he had just gotten over an entire week of menopause.
E cila, edhe ne Yale, eshte jashtezakonisht e rralle. Por une nuk kisha ide si ta ngushelloja te shkretin Bobo sepse ai kishte marrë vetëm mbi një javë të tërë të menopauzës.
(Laughter)
(Te qeshura)
We're finding it's not necessarily the reality that shapes us, but the lens through which your brain views the world that shapes your reality. And if we can change the lens, not only can we change your happiness, we can change every single educational and business outcome at the same time.
Ajo cfare ne gjejme ekziston e nuk eshte domosdosshmeri realiteti qe i jep forme asaj por lentet nëpërmjet të cilit truri juaj sheh botën që formon realitetin tuaj. Dhe nese ne mund te ndryshojme lentet, jo vetem qe ne mund te ndryshojme lumturine tuaj, ne mund te ndryshojme cdo rezultat te vetem arsimor dhe biznesor ne te njejten kohe.
I applied to Harvard on a dare. I didn't expect to get in, and my family had no money for college. When I got a military scholarship two weeks later, they let me go. Something that wasn't even a possibility became a reality. I assumed everyone there would see it as a privilege as well, that they'd be excited to be there. Even in a classroom full of people smarter than you, I felt you'd be happy just to be in that classroom. But what I found is, while some people experience that, when I graduated after my four years and then spent the next eight years living in the dorms with the students -- Harvard asked me to; I wasn't that guy.
Kur une aplikova ne Harvard, une aplikova me nje sfide. Nuk e prisja te futesha, dhe familja ime nuk kishte para per kolegj. Kur mora nje burse ushtarake dy jave me vone, ata me lejuan te shkoj. Papritmas, dicka qe nuk ishte mundesi u be realitet. Kur une shkova atje, une supuzova se cdo njeri do ta shihte ate si privilegj, qe ata do te ishin te gezuar qe jane atje. Edhe nese je ne nje klase te mbushur me njerez me te mencur se ti ju do te ishit te lumtur te jeni ne ate klase, kjo eshte ajo cka une ndjeva. Por cka une gjeta atje eshte, qe derisa disa njerez e provojne ate, kur une u diplomva pas kater viteve dhe pastaj kalova tete vitet e ardhshme duke jetuar ne konvikte me studentet -- Hravard me pyeti mua; Une nuk isha ai djali. (Te qeshura)
(Laughter)
I was an officer to counsel students through the difficult four years. And in my research and my teaching, I found that these students, no matter how happy they were with their original success of getting into the school, two weeks later their brains were focused, not on the privilege of being there, nor on their philosophy or physics, but on the competition, the workload, the hassles, stresses, complaints.
Une isha nje oficer i Harvardit per te keshilluar studentet gjate kater viteve te veshtira. Dhe cka une zbulova ne hulumtimin dhe mesimdhenien time eshte se keta student, pa marre parasysh sa te lumtur ishin ata me suksesin e tyre origjinal te hyrjes ne shkolle, dy jave me vone truri i tyre ishte i fokusara, jo ne privilegjin e te qenurit aty, as ne filozofine e tyre ose ne fizikun e tyre. Truri i tyre ishte fokusuar ne konkursin, ne ngarkesen e punes, streset, ankesat.
When I first went in there, I walked into the freshmen dining hall, which is where my friends from Waco, Texas, which is where I grew up -- I know some of you know this. When they'd visit, they'd look around, and say, "This dining hall looks like something out of Hogwart's." It does, because that was Hogwart's and that's Harvard. And when they see this, they say, "Why do you waste your time studying happiness at Harvard? What does a Harvard student possibly have to be unhappy about?"
Kur une se pari shkova atje, une shkova ne sallen e ngrenies se freshmenve, ne te cilen jane shoket e mi mga Waco, Texas, vendi ku une u rrita -- E di qe disa prej jush keni degjuar per te. Kur ata erdhen per te me vizituar, ata shikuan rreth e rrotull, ata thane, " Kjo salle e ngrenies duket si dicka nga Hogwart nga filmi "Harry Potter", të cilën e bën. Ky eshte Hogwart nga filmi "Harry Poter" dhe ky Harvard. Dhe kur ju e shihni kete, ata thone, " Shawn, pse e humbni kohen tuaj duke studiuar lumturine ne Harvard? Serizisht, cka kane studentet e Harvardit qe te jene te pa lumtur?"
Embedded within that question is the key to understanding the science of happiness. Because what that question assumes is that our external world is predictive of our happiness levels, when in reality, if I know everything about your external world, I can only predict 10% of your long-term happiness. 90 percent of your long-term happiness is predicted not by the external world, but by the way your brain processes the world. And if we change it, if we change our formula for happiness and success, we can change the way that we can then affect reality. What we found is that only 25% of job successes are predicted by IQ, 75 percent of job successes are predicted by your optimism levels, your social support and your ability to see stress as a challenge instead of as a threat.
Ngulititja brenda kesaj pytjeje eshte celesi per te kuptuar shkencen e lumturise. Sepse cka supozon kjo pyetje është se bota jonë e jashtme është parashikuese e niveleve tona lumturise, ku ne realitet, nese une di cdo gje rreth botes tuaj te jashtme, une mund te parashikoj vetem 10 perqind te jete-gjatesise se lumturise tuaj. 90 perqind te jete-gjatesise se lumturise tuaj eshte e parashikuar nga bota e jashtme por meqe ra fjala truri juaj proceson boten. Dhe nese ne e ndryshojme ate, nese ne e ndryshojme formulen tone per lumturi dhe sukses, cka ne mund te bejme eshte te ndryshojme menyren qe pastaj te mund te ndikojme ne realitet. Cka ne gjetem eshte se vetem 25 perqind e sukseseve te punes parashikohen nga I.Q. 75 perqind e sukseseve te punes parashikohen nga niveli juaj optimistik, nga perkrahja sociale dhe aftesia te shihni stresin si nje sfide ne vend te nje kercenimi.
I talked to a New England boarding school, probably the most prestigious one, and they said, "We already know that. So every year, instead of just teaching our students, we have a wellness week. And we're so excited. Monday night we have the world's leading expert will speak about adolescent depression. Tuesday night it's school violence and bullying. Wednesday night is eating disorders. Thursday night is illicit drug use. And Friday night we're trying to decide between risky sex or happiness."
Une fola me nje shkolle konviktu ne Angli, ndoshta shkolla me prestigjioze, dhe ata thane, " Ne tani e dime ate. Keshtu qe cdo vit, ne vend qe vetem t'i mesojme studentet tane, ne gjithashtu kemi javen e miresise. Dhe ne jemi shume te ngazellyer. Te henen mbrema ne kemi ekspertin e udheheqjes se botes qe do te vije te flas rreth depresionit ne adoleshence. Te marten mbrema eshte dhuna ne shkolla dhe fyerjet. Te merkuren mbrema jane crregullimet e ushqimit. Te ejten mbrema perdorimi i droges. Dhe te premten mbrema ne jemi duke provuar te vendosim ndermjet marredhenieve te rrezikshme seksuale dhe lumturise."
(Laughter)
(Te qeshura)
I said, "That's most people's Friday nights."
Une thashe, " Kjo eshte e Premtja e shumices prej njerezve."
(Laughter)
(Te qeshura)
(Applause)
(Duartroktije)
Which I'm glad you liked, but they did not like that at all. Silence on the phone. And into the silence, I said, "I'd be happy to speak at your school, but that's not a wellness week, that's a sickness week. You've outlined all the negative things that can happen, but not talked about the positive."
Te cilen jam i kenqaur qe e pelqyet, por ata nuk e perlqyen ate aspak. Qetesi ne telefon. Dhe ne qetesi, Une thashe, " Une do te isha i lumtur te flas ne shkollen tuaj, por vetem qe ta dini, kjo nuk eshte java e miresise, kjo eshte java e semundjes. Çfarë keni bërë është që ju keni paraqitur të gjitha gjërat negative që mund të ndodhin, por nuk keni folur per pozitivet."
The absence of disease is not health. Here's how we get to health: We need to reverse the formula for happiness and success. In the last three years, I've traveled to 45 countries, working with schools and companies in the midst of an economic downturn. And I found that most companies and schools follow a formula for success, which is this: If I work harder, I'll be more successful. And if I'm more successful, then I'll be happier. That undergirds most of our parenting and managing styles, the way that we motivate our behavior.
Mungesa e semundjes nuk eshte shendet. Ketu eshte si te fitojme shendet: Ne duhet te ndryshojme formulen per lumturi dhe sukses. Ne tri vitet e fundit, une kam udhetuar ne 45 vende te ndryshme, duke punuar me shkolla dhe kompani ne mes te renies ekonomike. Dhe cka une gjeta eshte se shumica e kompanive dhe shkollave ndjekin nje formule per sukses, e cila eshte kjo: Nese une punoj me shume, une do te jem me i sukseshem. Dhe nese une jam me i sukseshem, pastaj une do te jem me i lumtur. Kjo mbeshtet shumicen prej prinderve tane, stilet tona menaxhuese, menyra si ne motivojme sjelljen tone.
And the problem is it's scientifically broken and backwards for two reasons. Every time your brain has a success, you just changed the goalpost of what success looked like. You got good grades, now you have to get better grades, you got into a good school and after you get into a better one, you got a good job, now you have to get a better job, you hit your sales target, we're going to change it. And if happiness is on the opposite side of success, your brain never gets there. We've pushed happiness over the cognitive horizon, as a society. And that's because we think we have to be successful, then we'll be happier.
Dhe problemi është se eshte thyer shkencërisht dhe prapa për dy arsye. Se pari, cdo here truri juaj ka nje sukses, ju vetem e ndryshuat qellimin se si u duk suksesi. Ju keni nota te mira, tani ju duhet te merrni nota me te mira, ju keni hyre ne nje shkolle te mire dhe pasi te hyni ne nje shkolle me te mire ju fitoni nje pune te mire, tani ju duhet te fitoni nje pune me te mire, ju goditni objektivin e shitjes tuaj, ne jemi duke shkuar për të ndryshuar objektivin e shitjes tuaj. Dhe nese lumturia eshte ne anen e kundert te suksesit, truri juaj kurre nuk shkon atje. Cka ne kemi bere eshte qe ne kemi shtyre lumturine mbi horizontin e njohes si shoqeri. Dhe kjo eshte sepse ne mendojme se ne duhet te jemi te sukseshem, pastaj ne do te jemi te lumtur. Por problemi i vertete eshte se truri jone punon ne rendin e kundert.
But our brains work in the opposite order. If you can raise somebody's level of positivity in the present, then their brain experiences what we now call a happiness advantage, which is your brain at positive performs significantly better than at negative, neutral or stressed. Your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, your energy levels rise. In fact, we've found that every single business outcome improves. Your brain at positive is 31% more productive than your brain at negative, neutral or stressed. You're 37% better at sales. Doctors are 19 percent faster, more accurate at coming up with the correct diagnosis when positive instead of negative, neutral or stressed.
Nese ju mund te ngrini nivelin e positivitetit te dikujt ne te tashmen, pastaj pervojat e trurit te tyre cka ne quajme perparesi e lumturise, qe eshte truri juaj ne pozitivitet performon me mire sese tek negatvi, neutrali ose i stresuari. Inteligjenca juaj rritet, kreativiteti juaj rritet, niveli i energjise tuaj rritet. Ne fakt, cka ne gjejme eshte se cdo dalje e biznesit permiresohet. Truri juaj tek pozitivi eshte 31 perqind me produktiv sesa truri juaj tek negativi, neutrali ose i stresuari. Ju jeni 37 perqind me i mire tek shitjet Doktoret jane 19 perqind me te shpejte, me te sakte te sjellin diagnoza korrekte kur pozitivi ne vend te negativit, neutralit ose stresit.
Which means we can reverse the formula. If we can find a way of becoming positive in the present, then our brains work even more successfully as we're able to work harder, faster and more intelligently. We need to be able to reverse this formula so we can start to see what our brains are actually capable of. Because dopamine, which floods into your system when you're positive, has two functions. Not only does it make you happier, it turns on all of the learning centers in your brain allowing you to adapt to the world in a different way.
Qe do te thote se ne mund te ndryshojme formulen. Nese ne mund te gjejme nje rrugedalje qe te behemi pozitiv ne te tashmen, pastaj truri jone punon me me shume sukses pasi ne jemi ne gjendje te punojme me shume, me shpejte dhe më me inteligjence. Cka na duhet te jemi ne gjendje te bejme eshte te ndryshojme kete formule pra ne mund te fillojme te shohim se cka eshte ne gjendje te beje truri jone. Sepse dopamine, e cila permbytet ne sistemin tuaj ku ju jeni pozitiv, ka dy funksione. Jo vetem qe ju bene me te lumtur, kjo rezulton në të gjitha qendrat e mësimit në trurin tuaj duke i'u lejuar juve te adaptoheni me boten ne menyre tjeter. Ne zbuluam se ka menyra qe mund te trajtoni turin tuaj
We've found there are ways that you can train your brain to be able to become more positive. In just a two-minute span of time done for 21 days in a row, we can actually rewire your brain, allowing your brain to actually work more optimistically and more successfully. We've done these things in research now in every company that I've worked with, getting them to write down three new things that they're grateful for for 21 days in a row, three new things each day. And at the end of that, their brain starts to retain a pattern of scanning the world not for the negative, but for the positive first.
qe te jeni ne gjendje te jeni me pozitiv. Ne nje hapsire dy minuteshe te kohes se bere per 21 dite me rradhe, ne faktikisht mund t'ua ri-instalojme trurit tuaj duke lejuar trurin tuaj te punoj me me optimizem dhe me me shume sukses. Ne kemi bere gjera ne hulumtim tani ne secilen kompani qe kam punuar, duke i bindur ata te shkruajne tri gjera te reja per te cilat ata jane mirenjohes per 21 dite me rradhe, tri gjera te reja cdo dite. Dhe ne fund te saj truri i tyre fillon te ruaj nje model te skanimit te botes, jo per negativin, por per pozitivin. Protokolimi rreth nje eksperinece pozitive qe ju keni pasuar pas 24 oreve te shkuara
Journaling about one positive experience you've had over the past 24 hours allows your brain to relive it. Exercise teaches your brain that your behavior matters. We find that meditation allows your brain to get over the cultural ADHD that we've been creating by trying to do multiple tasks at once and allows our brains to focus on the task at hand. And finally, random acts of kindness are conscious acts of kindness. We get people, when they open up their inbox, to write one positive email praising or thanking somebody in their support network.
i lejon trurit tuaj ta zvogeloj ate Ushtrimi meson trurin tuaj se sjellja juaj ka rendesi. Ne zbuluam se meditimi lejon trurin tuaj te mberrij mbi ADHD kulturore qe ne kemi qene duke krijuar duke provuar te bejme detyra te shumfishta njeheresh dhe lejon trurin tone te fokusohet ne detyre. Dhe se fundi, veprime te rastesishme te miresise jane veprime te vetedijshme te miresise. Ne i marrim njerezit, kur ata e hapin inbox-in e tyre, per te shkruar nje email pozitiv duke lavderuar ose falenderuar dike ne rrjetin e tyre social. Dhe duke bere keto aktivitete dhe duke trajnuar turin tuaj ashtu sikur trajnojme trupin tone,
And by doing these activities and by training your brain just like we train our bodies, what we've found is we can reverse the formula for happiness and success, and in doing so, not only create ripples of positivity, but a real revolution.
cka ne kemi gjetur eshte ne mund te ndryshojme formulen e lumturise dhe suksesit, dhe duke bere keshtu, jo vetem krijojme plluquritje te pozitivitetit, por krijojme nje revulucion te vertete. Faleminderit shume. (Duartokitje)
Thank you very much.
