Secrets of success in 8 words, 3 minutes | Richard St. John

Translator: Ken Sy Reviewer: Schubert Malbas

This is really a two-hour presentation I give to high school students,

Sa totoo lang, ito ay dalawang oras na pagtalakay na binibigay ko sa mga mag-aaral ng high school

cut down to three minutes.

na pinaikli sa tatlong minuto.

And it all started one day on a plane, on my way to TED,

Nagsimula ito isang araw sa eroplano habang papunta ako sa TED

seven years ago.

pitong taon na ang nakakalipas.

And in the seat next to me was a high school student, a teenager,

At sa upuang katabi ko

ay isang mag-aaral ng high school, isang dalaga,

and she came from a really poor family.

na nanggaling sa isang mahirap na pamilya.

And she wanted to make something of her life,

At gusto niyang gumawa ng mahalaga ang buhay nya

and she asked me a simple little question.

kaya tinanong niya ako.

Wika niya, "Anu-ano ang magdadala sa tagumpay?"

She said, "What leads to success?"

Sumama ang loob ko,

And I felt really badly,

because I couldn't give her a good answer.

dahil wala akong maibigay na makabuluhang sagot sa kanya.

So I get off the plane, and I come to TED.

Kaya nang makalapag ang eroplano, at makarating ako sa TED

And I think, jeez, I'm in the middle of a room of successful people!

Naisip ko, grabe, napalilibutan ako ng mga matagumpay na tao!

So why don't I ask them what helped them succeed,

Paano kung itanong ko na lang kung anu-ano ang nagtulak sa kanila upang magtagumpay,

and pass it on to kids?

at maibahagi ko sa mga bata?

So here we are, seven years, 500 interviews later,

Kaya andito tayo, makalipas ang pitong taon, at limang daang pakikipanayam,

and I'm going to tell you what really leads to success

sasabihin ko na sa inyo kung paano talaga magtagumpay

and makes TEDsters tick.

at kung anong meron ang mga TED-sters.

And the first thing is passion.

Ang pinaka-una ay ang silakbo ng damdamin.

Freeman Thomas says, "I'm driven by my passion."

Sabi ni Freeman Thomas, "Mahal ko ang ginagawa ko."

TEDsters do it for love; they don't do it for money.

Mahal ng mga TED-ster ang ginagawa nila, at hindi lang dahil sa pera.

Carol Coletta says, "I would pay someone to do what I do."

Wika nga ni Carol Coletta, "Kahit pa magbayad ako upang gawin ang ginagawa ko ngayon."

And the interesting thing is:

At ang maganda doon,

if you do it for love, the money comes anyway.

kapag mahal mo ang ginagawa mo, susunod din naman ang pera.

Work! Rupert Murdoch said to me, "It's all hard work.

Pagsisikap! Sabi ni Rupert Murdoch sa akin, "Nasa pagsisikap yan.

Nothing comes easily. But I have a lot of fun."

Walang madali sa buhay. Pero masaya naman ako."

"Masaya" ba ang sinabi ni Rupert? Oo!

Did he say fun? Rupert? Yes!

(Laughter)

Masaya ang mga TED-sters sa kanilang pagsisikap. At nagtratrabaho sila ng maigi.

TEDsters do have fun working. And they work hard.

I figured, they're not workaholics. They're workafrolics.

Sa tingin ko, hindi naman sila workaholics. Sila ay workafrolics.

(Laughter)

Good!

Kahusayan! Sabi ni Alex Garden, "Para magtagumpay, pumili ka ng pagkakaabalahan

(Applause)

Alex Garden says, "To be successful, put your nose down in something

and get damn good at it."

at paghusayan mo."

There's no magic; it's practice, practice, practice.

Walang salamangka, praktis, praktis, at praktis lang yan.

And it's focus.

At ang pagtuon ng pansin. Wika ni Norman Jewison sa akin,

Norman Jewison said to me,

"I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing."

"Palagay ko, ang pinakamahalaga ay ang pagtutok ng sarili sa iisang bagay"

And push!

At paghamon! Ayon kay David Gallo, "Hamunin ang sarili.

David Gallo says, "Push yourself.

Physically, mentally, you've got to push, push, push."

sa gawa, sa isip, hamunin mo ng lubos."

You've got to push through shyness and self-doubt.

Lagpasan mo ang pagkamahiyain at pagdududa sa sarili.

Goldie Hawn says, "I always had self-doubts.

Sabi ni Goldie Hawn, "Noon lagi akong may pagdududa sa sarili.

I wasn't good enough; I wasn't smart enough.

Di sapat ang galing ko, di sapat ang talino ko.

I didn't think I'd make it."

Hindi ko naisip na magagawa ko."

Now it's not always easy to push yourself,

Gayunman, hindi madaling hamunin ang sarili,

and that's why they invented mothers.

kaya nandiyan ang mga nanay. (Tawanan)

(Laughter)

(Applause)

Frank Gehry said to me,

Frank Gehry -- Sabi ni Frank Gehry sa akin,

"My mother pushed me."

"Ang nanay ko ang nagtulak sa akin."

(Laughter)

Serve!

Magsilbi! Sabi ni Sherwin Nuland, "Isang karangalan ang magsilbi bilang doktor."

Sherwin Nuland says, "It was a privilege to serve as a doctor."

Gayunman, maraming bata ang nagsasabi sa akin na gusto nilang maging milyonaryo.

A lot of kids want to be millionaires.

The first thing I say is:

At ang una kong sinasabi sa kanila ay,

"OK, well you can't serve yourself;

"OK, ngunit hindi naman maaring pagsilbihan ang sarili,

you've got to serve others something of value.

kaya't marapat lang na magbigay ng pagpapahalaga sa iba.

Because that's the way people really get rich."

Dahil iyon ang tunay na yaman."

Ideas!

Ideya. Sabi ni TED-ster Bill Gates, "May naisip akong ideya --

TEDster Bill Gates says, "I had an idea:

founding the first micro-computer software company."

na simulan ang pinaka-unang kumpanya ng micro-computer software."

I'd say it was a pretty good idea.

Masasabi kong napakaganda ng ideyang iyon.

And there's no magic to creativity in coming up with ideas --

At walang salamangka sa paglikha ng mga ideya,

it's just doing some very simple things.

Kinakailangan lang na gumawa ng mga madadaling bagay.

And I give lots of evidence.

At marami akong binibigay na halimbawa.

Persist!

Magtiyaga. Sabi ni Joe Kraus,

Joe Kraus says,

"Persistence is the number one reason for our success."

"Pagtitiyaga ang pangunahing dahilan ng aming tagumpay."

You've got to persist through failure. You've got to persist through crap!

Magtiyaga ka kahit mabigo man. Magtiyaga ka, kahit ito ay CRAP(basura)!

Which of course means "Criticism, Rejection, Assholes and Pressure."

na ang ibig sabihin ay "Criticism (panlalait), Rejection (pagtakwil), Assholes (mga gago), at Pressure (sapilitan)."

(Laughter)

(Tawanan)

So, the answer to this question is simple:

Kung kaya, ang malaking sagot sa ating tanong ay simple lang:

Pay 4,000 bucks and come to TED.

Magbayad ka ng apat na libong dolyar at dumalo sa TED.

(Laughter)

Or failing that, do the eight things -- and trust me,

Kung hindi man, gawin mo ang walong ito -- at maniwala ka sa akin,

these are the big eight things that lead to success.

ito ang walong malalaking bagay na magdadala ng tagumpay.

Thank you TEDsters for all your interviews!

Salamat mga TED-ster sa lahat ng pakikipanayam!

(Applause)
