Now, my subject is success,

Moja tema je uspjeh,

so people sometimes call me a "motivational speaker."

pa me ljudi ponekad zovu 'motivacijskim govornikom'.

But I want you to know right up front I'm not a motivational speaker.

Ali želim da znate unaprijed kako ja nisam motivacijski govornik.

I couldn't pass the height requirement.

Nisam ispunio uvjete za visinu.

(Laughter)

(smijeh)

And I couldn't motivate anybody.

I nisam mogao nikoga motivirati.

My employees actually call me a de-motivational speaker.

Moji zaposlenici zapravo me zovu de-motivacijskim govornikom.

(Laughter)

What I try to be is an informational speaker.

Pokušavam biti informacijski govornik.

I went out and found out some information about success,

Otišao sam i našao sam neke informacije o uspjehu,

and I'm just here to pass it on.

i tu sam da ih proslijedim.

And my story started over ten years ago, on a plane.

Moja priča počela je prije deset godina, u avionu.

I was on my way to the TED conference in California,

Bio sam na putu za TED konferenciju u Kaliforniji,

and in the seat next to me was a teenage girl,

i pored mene je sjedila djevojčica,

and she came from a really poor family, but she wanted to get somewhere in life.

i bila je iz siromašne obitelji, ali htjela je uspjeti u životu.

And as I tapped away on my computer, she kept asking me questions,

I dok sam kuckao na računalu, postavljala mi je pitanja,

and then out of the blue, she asked, "Are you successful?"

i onda, iz vedra neba, pitala me, "Jeste li uspješni?"

I said, "No, I'm not successful."

Rekao sam, "Ne, nisam uspješan."

Terry Fox, my hero, now there's a big success.

Terry Fox, moj junak, to je velik uspjeh.

He lost a leg to cancer, then ran thousands of miles

Ostao je bez noge zbog raka, i trčao tisuće milja

and raised millions for cancer research.

i skupio milijune za istraživanje raka.

Or Bill Gates, a guy who owns his own plane

Ili Bill Gates, tip s vlastitim avionom

and doesn't have to sit next to some kid asking him questions.

koji ne mora sjediti pored nekog djeteta koje ga ispituje.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Ali onda sam joj pričao o nekim stvarima koje sam napravio.

But then I told her about some of the stuff I'd done.

I love communications, and I've won lots of awards in marketing.

Volim komunikacije, i dobio sam puno nagrada u marketingu.

I love running, and I still sometimes win my age group,

Volim trčati, i još ponekad pobijedim među vršnjacima,

old farts over 60.

starim prdcima preko 60.

(Laughter)

My fastest marathon is two hours and 43 minutes

Moj najbrži maraton bio je 2 sata i 43 minute

to run the 26 miles, or 42 kilometers.

da otrčim 26 milja, odnosno 42 kilometra.

I've run over 50 marathons, in all 7 continents.

Trčao sam preko 50 maratona na svih sedam kontinenata.

This was a run my wife and I did up the Inca trail to Machu Picchu in Peru.

Ovo je utrka koju smo žena i ja napravili po stazi Inka do Machu Pichua u Peruu.

And to qualify for the 7 continents,

I da bismo se kvalificirali za sedam kontinenata,

we had to run a marathon in Antarctica.

morali smo trčati maraton na Antarktici.

But when we got there, it didn't look nice and calm like this,

Ali kada smo došli tamo, nije izgledalo mirno ilijepo kao ovo, izgledalo je ovako.

it looked like this.

The waves were so high, we couldn't get to shore.

Valovi su bili toliko visoki da nismo mogli doći do obale.

So we sailed 200 miles further south to where the seas were calm

Tako da smo plovili 200 milja na jug gdje je more bilo mirnije

and ran the entire 26-mile marathon

i trčali čitav maraton od 26 milja

on the boat.

na brodu.

422 laps around the deck of that little boat.

422 kruga po palubi tog malog broda.

My wife and I have also climbed two of the world's seven summits,

Moja žena i ja također smo se popeli na dva od sedam svjetskih vrhova,

najviše planine na svakom kontinentu.

the highest mountains on each continent.

Popeli smo se na Akonkagvu, najvišu planinu na američkom kontinentu,

We climbed Aconcagua, the highest mountain on the American continent,

and Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.

i Kilimanjaro, najvišu planinu u Africi.

Well, to be honest, I puked my way to the top of Kilimanjaro,

Da budem iskren, rigao sam do vrha Kilimanjara,

I got altitude sickness.

dobio sam visinsku bolest. Nisam dobio suosjećanje od žene,

I got no sympathy from my wife.

She passed me and did a lap around the top

obišla me i napravila krug po vrhu dok sam se borio da dođem do vrha.

while I was still struggling up there.

In spite of that, we're still together and have been for over 35 years.

Unatoč tome, još smo zajedno, više od 35 godina.

(Applause)

I'd say that's a success these days.

Rekao bih da je to uspjeh danas.

So I said to the girl,

Tako da sam rekao djevojčici,

"Well, you know, I guess I have had some success."

"Znaš, valjda sam imao nekog uspjeha."

And then she said, "Okay, so are you a millionaire?"

A ona je rekla, "Ok, onda si milijunaš?"

(Laughter)

Sad, nisam znao što reći,

Now, I didn't know what to say,

jer kad sam ja odrastao, bilo je nepristojno pričati o novcu.

because when I grew up, it was bad manners to talk about money.

Ali zaključio sam da ću biti iskren,

But I figured I'd better be honest,

and I said, "Yeah. I'm a millionaire.

i rekao sam, "Da, ja sam milijunaš.

But I don't know how it happened.

Ali ne znam kako se to dogodilo. Nikad nisam išao za novcem,

I never went after the money, and it's not that important to me."

i nije mi toliko važan."

She said, "Maybe not to you, but it is to me.

A ona je rekla, "Možda tebi nije, meni jest.

I don't want to be poor all my life.

Ne želim biti siromašna čitav život, želim nešto postići,

I want to get somewhere, but it's never going to happen."

ali to se nikad neće dogoditi."

I said, "Well, why not?"

Rekoh, "Dobro, zašto ne?"

She said, "Well, you know, I'm not very smart.

Rekla je, "Pa, nisam baš pametna.

I'm not doing great in school."

Ne ide mi dobro u školi."

I said, "So what? I'm not smart. I barely passed high school.

Rekoh, "Pa što? Nisam pametan. Jedva sam završio srednju školu.

I had absolutely nothing going for me.

Ništa nije bilo na mojoj strani.

I was never voted most popular or most likely to succeed.

Nikad nisam bio najpopularniji ili najizgledniji za uspjeh.

Za mene je stvorena nova kategorija -- najizgledniji za neuspjeh.

I started a whole new category -- most likely to fail.

But in the end, I did okay. So if I can do it, you can do it."

Ali na kraju, bio sam ok.

Ako ja to mogu, možeš i ti."

I onda me pitala veliko pitanje:

And then she asked me the big question:

"Okay, so what really leads to success?"

"Ok, što zapravo vodi k uspjehu?"

I said, "Jeez, sorry. I don't know.

Rekao sam, "Uhhh, žao mi je, ne znam.

I guess somehow I did it. I don't know how I did it."

Valjda sam nekako uspio. Ne znam kako sam uspio."

So I get off the plane and go to the TED conference,

Siđem s aviona i odem na TED konferenciju,

and I'm standing in a room full of extraordinarily successful people

i stojim u sobi punoj iznimno uspješnih ljudi

in many fields -- business, science, arts,

u toliko polja -- poduzetništvo, znanost, umjetnost,

health, technology, the environment --

zdravlje, tehnologija, okoliš -- i onda sam shvatio:

when it hit me:

Why don't I ask them what helped them succeed,

Zašto ih ne pitam kako su postali uspješni,

and find out what really leads to success for everyone?

i što sve vodi k uspjehu za svakog od nas?

So I was all excited to get out there and start talking to these great people,

Tako da sam bio uzbuđen izaći i pričati sa svim tim ljudima,

when the self-doubt set in.

kada je nastupila samosumnja.

I mean, why would people want to talk to me?

Mislim, zašto bi ljudi pričali samnom?

I'm not a famous journalist. I'm not even a journalist.

Nisam slavni novinar. Nisam uopće novinar.

Tako da sam bio spreman zaustaviti projekt prije no što je započeo,

So I was ready to stop the project before it even began,

when who comes walking towards me but Ben Cohen,

kada prema meni krene nitko drugi do Ben Cohen,

the famous co-founder of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

slavni suosnivač Ben and Jerry's sladoleda.

I figured it was now or never.

Pomislio sma da je sad ili nikad. Probio sam sumnjanje,

I pushed through the self-doubt,

iskočio prednjega i rekao, "Ben, radim na projektu.

jumped out in front of him, and said,

"Ben, I'm working on this project.

I don't even know what to ask you,

Čak ne znam ni što bih te pitao,

but can you tell me what helped you succeed?"

ali možeš mi reći što ti je pomoglo da uspiješ?"

He said, "Yeah, sure, come on. Let's go for a coffee."

Rekao je, "Da, naravno, hajde. Idemo na kavu."

And over coffee and ice cream, Ben told me his story.

I uz kavu i sladoled, Ben mi je ispričao svoju priču.

Now here we are over 10 years later,

Evo nas ovdje 10 godina kasnije,

and I've interviewed over 500 successful people

intervjuirao sam preko 500 uspješnih ljudi

face-to-face, and collected thousands of other success stories.

licem u lice, i skupio tisuće njihovih priča o uspjehu.

I wanted to find the common factors for success in all fields,

Htio sam naći zajedničke čimbenike za uspjeh u svim poljima

so I had to interview people in careers ranging from A to Z.

tako da sam intervjuirao ljude s karijerama od A do Z.

These are just the careers I interviewed beginning with the letter A,

Ovo su samo karijere sa slovom A koje sam intervjuirao,

and in most cases more than one person.

i u većini slučajeva više od jedne osobe.

I interviewed six successful accountants,

Intervjuirao sam šest uspješnih računovođa,

five corporate auditors, five astronauts who had been into space,

pet korporativnih revizora, pet astronauta koji su bili u svemiru,

four actors who had won the Academy Award for Best Actor,

četiri glumca koji su dobili Oscare za najbolje glumce,

three of the world's top astrophysicists,

tri najbolja svjetska astrofizičara,

six of the world's leading architects

šest vodećih arhitekata,

and, oh yeah, four Nobel Prize winners.

i da, četiri dobitnika Nobelove nagrade.

Yeah, I know it doesn't start with A, but it's kind of cool.

Da, znam da ne počinje s A, ali je fora.

(Laughter)

I želim se iskreno zahvaliti

And I want to say a sincere thanks

to all the great people that I've interviewed over the years.

svim velikim ljudima koje sam intervjuirao tijekom godina.

This really is their story; I'm just the messenger.

Ovo je zapravo njihova priča; ja sam samo glasnik.

The really big job was taking all the interviews

Stvarno velik posao bio je uzeti intervjue

and analyzing them, word by word, line by line,

i analizirati ih, riječ po riječ, liniju po liniju,

and sorting them into all the factors that people said helped them succeed.

i slagati ih u sve čimbenike za koje su ljudi rekli da su im pomogli uspjeti.

And then you start to see the big factors that are common to most people's success.

I onda počinjete vidjeti velike čimbenike

koji su zajednički uspjehu većine ljudi.

Altogether, I analyzed and sorted millions of words.

Sve zajedno, analizirao sam i složio milijune riječi.

Do you know how much work that is?

Znate li koliko je to posla?

That's all I do, day and night -- sort and analyze.

To je sve što radim, danonoćno -- slažem i analiziram.

I'll tell you, if I ever get my hands on that kid on the plane --

Kažem vam, ako ikad dohvatim onu malu s aviona...

(Laughter)

Zapravo, ako ju nađem, zahvalit ću joj se.

Actually, if I do, I'll thank her.

Because I've never had so much fun and met so many interesting people.

Jer se nikad nisam tako zabavljao i upoznao toliko zanimljivih ljudi.

And now, I can answer her question.

I sada mogu odgovoriti na njeno pitanje.

I discovered the 8 traits successful people have in common,

Otkrio sam osam osobina koje uspješni ljudi imaju zajedničko,

or the 8 to be great:

ili osam da bi bili veliki:

Love what you do; work really hard;

Volite što radite; radite stvarno puno;

focus on one thing, not everything;

fokusirajte se na jednu stvar, ne sve;

keep pushing yourself; come up with good ideas;

gurajte se dalje; smišljajte dobre ideje;

keep improving yourself and what you do;

radite na sebi i poboljšavajte ono što radite;

serve others something of value, because success isn't just about me, me, me;

dajte drugima nešto vrijedno, jer uspjeh nije samo ja, ja, ja;

and persist, because there's no overnight success.

i ustrajte jer ne postoji uspjeh preko noći.

Why did I pick these?

Zašto sam njih odabrao?

Because when I added up all the comments in my interviews,

Jer kada sam zbrojio sve komentare u mojim intervjuima,

more people said those 8 things helped them

ljudi su rekli da su im te stvari najviše pomogle

than anything else.

od bilo čeg drugog.

The eight traits are really the heart of success, the foundation,

Osam osobina koje su u srcu uspjeha, temelj,

and then on top we build the specific skills

i onda na tome gradimo specifične vještine

that we need for our particular field or career.

koje nam trebaju za naše područje rada ili karijeru.

Technical skills, analytical skills, people skills, creative skills --

Tehničke, analitičke, vještine s ljudima,

kreativne vještine -- mnoge druge koje možemo dodati povrh,

lots of other skills we can add on top,

depending on our field.

ovisno o našem području.

But no matter what field we're in,

Ali nevažno u kojem području smo,

these eight traits will be at the heart of our success.

ovih osam osobina biti će u srcu uspjeha.

(Applause)
