Try something new for 30 days | Matt Cutts

Prevoditelj: Tilen Pigac - EFZG Recezent: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG

A few years ago, I felt like I was stuck in a rut,

Prije nekoliko godina,

osjećao sam se kao da sam zaglavio u rutini

so I decided to follow in the footsteps

pa sam odlučio slijediti korake

of the great American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock,

velikog američkog filozofa, Morgana Spurlocka

and try something new for 30 days.

i probati činiti nešto novo 30 dana.

The idea is actually pretty simple.

Ideja je prilično jednostavna.

Think about something you've always wanted to add to your life

Razmislite o nečemu što ste oduvijek htjeli dodati svom životu

and try it for the next 30 days.

i pokušajte to raditi 30 dana.

Ispostavlja se

It turns out 30 days is just about the right amount of time

kako je 30 dana prava količina vremena

to add a new habit or subtract a habit --

za dodavanje navike ili rješavanje neke navike --

poput gledanja vijesti --

like watching the news --

from your life.

iz vašeg života.

There's a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges.

Postoji nekoliko stvari koje sam naučio dok sam radio te 30-dnevne izazove.

The first was,

Prva je bila,

instead of the months flying by, forgotten,

umjesto mjesece koji su proletjeli i koje bih zaboravio,

the time was much more memorable.

vrijeme je bilo puno više vrijedno spomena.

This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture every day for a month.

To je bio dio izazova u kojem sam svaki dan uslikao jednu novu sliku i tako mjesec dana.

And I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that day.

I točno se sjećam gdje sam bio

i što sam radio taj dan.

I also noticed

Isto tako sam primjetio

that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges,

da kako sam počeo raditi više i zahtjevnije 30-dnevne izazove,

moje samopouzdanje je raslo.

my self-confidence grew.

I went from desk-dwelling computer nerd

Promijenio sam se od računalnog štrebera koji je stalno za svojim stolom

to the kind of guy who bikes to work.

do momka koji odlazi biciklom na posao --

For fun!

za zabavu.

(Laughter)

Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro,

Čak i prošle godine, planinario sam na planinu Kilimanjaro,

the highest mountain in Africa.

najveću planinu u Africi.

I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30-day challenges.

Nikada nisam bio toliki avanturist

prije nego sam započeo s 30-dnevnim izazovima.

I also figured out that if you really want something badly enough,

Ujedno sam shvatio

da ukoliko doista želite nešto jako,

you can do anything for 30 days.

možete učiniti bilo što u 30 dana.

Jeste li ikada željeli napisati roman?

Have you ever wanted to write a novel?

Svaki studeni,

Every November,

deseci tisuća ljudi

tens of thousands of people

try to write their own 50,000-word novel, from scratch,

pokušavaju napisati svoj roman od 50.000 riječi od početka

in 30 days.

u 30 dana.

It turns out, all you have to do is write 1,667 words a day

Ispostavlja se kako je sve što trebate učiniti

pisati 1.667 riječi na dan

for a month.

i tako mjesec dana.

So I did.

Stoga sam to i učinio.

By the way, the secret is not to go to sleep

Usput rečeno, tajna je ne otići u krevet

tako dugo dok niste napisali svoje riječi za taj dan.

until you've written your words for the day.

You might be sleep-deprived,

Možda ćete patiti od nedostatka sna,

but you'll finish your novel.

ali ćete završiti svoj roman.

Sada, je li moja knjiga novi veliki američki roman?

Now is my book the next great American novel?

No. I wrote it in a month.

Ne. Napisao sam ga u mjesec dana.

It's awful.

Užasan je.

(Laughter)

But for the rest of my life,

Ali do kraja života,

if I meet John Hodgman at a TED party,

ukoliko sretnem Johna Hodgmana na TED-ovoj zabavi,

I don't have to say,

ne moram reći,

"I'm a computer scientist."

"Ja sam računalni znanstvenik."

No, no, if I want to, I can say, "I'm a novelist."

Ne, ne, ukoliko želim, mogu reći, "Ja sam romanopisac."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Dakle, ovo je posljednja stvar koju želim spomenuti.

So here's one last thing I'd like to mention.

I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes,

Naučio sam da kada sam radio male, održive promijene,

things I could keep doing,

stvari koje sam mogao nastavljati raditi,

they were more likely to stick.

oni bi se puno prije "primile".

There's nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges.

Nema ničega lošeg u velikim, ludim izazovima.

In fact, they're a ton of fun.

Zapravo, oni su jako zabavni.

But they're less likely to stick.

Ali puno je manja vjerojatnost kako će se održati.

When I gave up sugar for 30 days,

Kada sam se odrekao šećera na 30 dana,

31. dan je izgledao ovako.

day 31 looked like this.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Dakle, ovo je moje pitanje za vas?

So here's my question to you:

What are you waiting for?

Što čekate?

I guarantee you the next 30 days

Garantiram vam kako će idućih 30 dana

are going to pass whether you like it or not,

proći

željeli vi to ili ne,

so why not think about something you have always wanted to try

dakle, zašto ne razmislite o nečemu

što ste uvijek željeli probati

i probajte to raditi

and give it a shot!

For the next 30 days.

idućih 30 dana.

Thanks.

Hvala.

(Applause)
