I treći: onaj deo nad kojim imate kontrolu,

the choices you make,

vaši izbori,

the risks you take,

rizici koje preuzimate,

and how you think about and respond to challenges and setbacks.

i kako razmišljate i reagujete na izazove i prepreke.

It isn't possible to completely untangle these three factors,

Nije moguće potpuno razdvojiti ova tri faktora,

but the personal choices we make certainly play a major role

ali naši lični izbori igraju veliku ulogu

in confidence development.

If you're looking for a long-term change,

Ako tragate za dugoročnom promenom,

consider the way you think about your abilities and talents.

razmislite o tome kako gledate na svoje sposobnosti i talente.

Do you think they are fixed at birth,

Da li mislite da su utemeljeni na rođenju

or that they can be developed, like a muscle?

ili da mogu da se razvijaju, kao mišić?

These beliefs matter because they can influence how you act

Ova uverenja su važna, jer mogu da utiču na vaše ponašanje

when you're faced with setbacks.

kad ste suočeni sa preprekama.

If you have a fixed mindset,

Ako vam je način razmišljanja utemeljen,

meaning that you think your talents are locked in place,

you might give up,

možda ćete odustati,

assuming you've discovered something you're not very good at.

izazov je prilika da učite i razvijate se.

getting better grades,

imaju bolje ocene

and doing better in the face of challenges.

i bolje se snalaze kad se suoče sa izazovima.

Tip three: practice failure.

Savet 3: vežbajte neuspeh.

Face it, you're going to fail sometimes.

Priznajte, nekada ćete ga doživeti.

Everyone does.

Svima se dešava.

J.K. Rowling was rejected by twelve different publishers

Dž. K. Rouling je 12 izdavača odbilo

including some of their own,

dodajući i nekoliko svojih,

pre nego što su napravili uspešan avion.

Studies show that those who fail regularly and keep trying anyway

Istraživanja pokazuju da oni koji redovno doživljavaju neuspeh

i nastavljaju da pokušavaju,

are better equipped to respond to challenges and setbacks

na konstruktivniji način reaguju na izazove i neprilike.

They learn how to try different strategies,

Oni nauče da isprobavaju različite strategije,

ask others for advice,

pitaju druge za savet

and perservere.

Dakle, razmislite o izazovu sa kojim želite da se suočite,

realize it's not going to be easy,

shvatite da neće biti lako,

accept that you'll make mistakes,

prihvatite da ćete grešiti

and be kind to yourself when you do.

i budite blagi prema sebi kad se to desi.

Give yourself a pep talk, stand up, and go for it.

Motivišite se, ustanite i krenite.

The excitement you'll feel knowing that whatever the result,

Uzbuđenje koje osećate, znajući da, kakav god bude rezultat,

you'll have gained greater knowledge and understanding.

vi ste stekli mnogo znanja i razumevanja.

This is confidence.

To je samopouzdanje.
