How to find work you love | Scott Dinsmore

Prevoditelj: Anja Kolobarić Recezent: Ivan Stamenković

Wow, what an honor. I always wondered what this would feel like.

Ajme, kakva čast! Uvijek sam se pitao kako će ovo izgledati.

So eight years ago, I got the worst career advice of my life.

Prije osam godina dobio sam najgori poslovni savjet u životu.

I had a friend tell me,

Prijatelj mi je rekao:

"Don't worry about how much you like the work you're doing now.

"Nemoj razmišljati o tome koliko voliš trenutni posao.

It's all about just building your resume."

Usredotoči se na 'bildanje' životopisa."

And I'd just come back from living in Spain for a while,

Vratio sam se s kratkotrajnog boravljenja u Španjolskoj

and I'd joined this Fortune 500 company. I thought, "This is fantastic.

i pridružio se tvrtci Fortune 500. Pomislih: "Ovo je sjajno.

I'm going to have big impact on the world."

Imat ću ogroman utjecaj na svijet."

I had all these ideas. And within about two months,

Ima sam tolike ideje, a tijekom otprilike dva mjeseca,

I noticed at about 10am every morning I had this strange urge

primijetio sam da oko 10:00 svakog jutra imam snažnu potrebu

to want to slam my head through the monitor of my computer.

udarati glavom kroz monitor računala.

I don't know if anyone's ever felt that.

Ne znam je li se itko ikada tako osjećao.

And I noticed pretty soon after that that all the competitors in our space

Ubrzo sam primijetio da su svi konkurenti s našeg područja

had already automated my job role.

već automatizirali moju ulogu.

And this is right about when I got this sage advice to build up my resume.

Upravo sam tad dobio ovaj mudar savjet o bildanju životopisa.

Well, as I'm trying to figure out

Dok sam razmišljao

what two-story window I'm going to jump out of and change things up,

s kojeg ću se prozora baciti i začiniti malo stvari,

I read some altogether different advice from Warren Buffett, and he said,

pročitao sam jedan sasvim drugačiji savjet Warrena Buffetta koji je rekao:

"Taking jobs to build up your resume is the same as saving up sex for old age."

"Prihvatiti posao radi bildanja životopisa je kao čuvati se za seks u starosti."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And I heard that, and that was all I needed.

Kad sam to čuo, to je bilo to.

Within two weeks, I was out of there, and I left with one intention:

Za dva tjedna, dao sam otkaz i otišao sam s jednom namjerom:

to find something that I could screw up. That's how tough it was.

pronaći nešto što ću zabrljati. Bio sam tolika faca.

I wanted to have some type of impact. It didn't matter what it was.

Htio sam imati neki utjecaj, bilo kakav.

And I found pretty quickly that I wasn't alone:

Ubrzo sam saznao da nisam jedini:

it turns out that over 80 percent of the people around

preko 80 % ljudi

don't enjoy their work.

ne uživa u svom poslu.

I'm guessing this room is different,

Vjerojatno ste vi drugačiji,

but that's the average that Deloitte has done with their studies.

no to je prosjek do kojeg je Deloitte došao u istraživanjima.

So I wanted to find out, what is it that sets these people apart,

Htio sam otkriti po čemu se razlikuju ljudi

the people who do the passionate, world-changing work,

koji rade strastvene poslove koji mijenjaju svijet

that wake up inspired every day,

i svakog se jutra bude nadahnuti

and then these people, the other 80 percent

od ovih drugih 80 %

who lead these lives of quiet desperation.

koji vode živote tihog očajavanja.

So I started to interview all these people doing this inspiring work,

Počeo sam intervjuirati ljude koji se bave inspirativnim poslovima,

and I read books and did case studies,

čitao sam knjige i provodio analize slučaja.

300 books altogether on purpose and career and all this,

Ukupno 300 knjiga o smislu i karijeri i sve ovo,

totally just self-immersion, really for the selfish reason of --

samo potpuno uronjenje iz sebičnih razloga -

I wanted to find the work that I couldn't not do,

htio sam pronaći posao koji ne mogu ne raditi;

what that was for me.

pronaći ono što je za mene.

But as I was doing this, more and more people started to ask me,

No, dok sam se time bavio, sve me više ljudi pitalo:

"You're into this career thing.

"Ti proučavaš karijere.

I don't like my job. Can we sit down for lunch?"

Ne volim svoj posao. Možemo li ručati zajedno?

I'd say, "Sure." But I would have to warn them,

Pristao bih, ali bih ih morao upozoriti -

because at this point, my quit rate was also 80 percent.

tada je moja stopa davanja otkaza isto bila 80 %.

Of the people I'd sit down with for lunch, 80 percent would quit their job

Od ljudi s kojima sam ručao, 80 % dalo je otkaz

within two months.

u roku od dva mjeseca.

I was proud of this, and it wasn't that I had any special magic.

Ponosio sam se time, a nije da sam imao neke posebne moći,

It was that I would ask one simple question.

samo sam postavljao jednostavno pitanje:

It was, "Why are you doing the work that you're doing?"

"Zašto se bavite poslom kojim se bavite?"

And so often their answer would be,

Često sam dobivao odgovore poput:

"Well, because somebody told me I'm supposed to."

"Pa... netko mi je rekao da bih trebao.

And I realized that so many people around us

Shvatio sam da se puno ljudi oko nas

are climbing their way up this ladder that someone tells them to climb,

uspinje ovim ljestvama na koje ih je netko drugi uputio,

and it ends up being leaned up against the wrong wall,

pa te ljestve završe naslonjene na krivi zid

or no wall at all.

ili ni na kakav zid.

The more time I spent around these people and saw this problem,

Što sam više bio među tim ljudima i uvidio taj problem,

I thought, what if we could create a community,

dosjetio sam se da stvorimo zajednicu,

a place where people could feel like they belonged

mjesto na kojem bi se ljudi osjećali prihvaćeno

and that it was OK to do things differently,

i u kojem bi se stvari mogle drugačije raditi,

to take the road less traveled, where that was encouraged,

hoditi neutabanim stazama, gdje bi se to pozdravljalo

and inspire people to change?

i gdje bi se i druge inspiriralo na promjenu.

And that later became what I now call Live Your Legend,

To se kasnije pretvorilo u pokret "Živi svoju legendu".

which I'll explain in a little bit.

Objasnit ću to malo kasnije.

But as I've made these discoveries, I noticed a framework

Dolazeći do ovih zaključaka, primijetio sam

of really three simple things

tri jednostavne stvari

that all these different passionate world-changers have in common,

zajedničke svim tim strastvenim ljudima koji mijenjaju svijet -

whether you're a Steve Jobs or if you're just, you know,

bili vi Steve Jobs ili pak

the person that has the bakery down the street.

osoba koja vodi uličnu pekarnicu,

But you're doing work that embodies who you are.

ali bavite se poslom koji vas utjelovljuje.

I want to share those three with you, so we can use them as a lens

Podijelit ću ih s vama kako bismo ih mogli koristiti kao leće

for the rest of today and hopefully the rest of our life.

za ostatak dana, a možda i života.

The first part of this three-step passionate work framework

Prvi dio ovog strastvenog radnog okvira u tri koraka

is becoming a self-expert and understanding yourself,

jest postati stručnjak o sebi i naučiti razumijevati sebe same

because if you don't know what you're looking for,

jer ako ne znate što tražite,

you're never going to find it.

nikad to nećete naći,

And the thing is that no one is going to do this for us.

a to nitko neće učiniti umjesto nas.

There's no major in university on passion and purpose and career.

Nema kolegija na faksu na temu strasti, smisla i karijere.

I don't know how that's not a required double major,

Ne znam kako to nije dvostruko obvezan kolegij,

but don't even get me started on that.

ali nemojte da počnem o tome.

I mean, you spend more time picking out a dorm room TV set

Više vremena provodite birajući TV za sobu u kampusu

than you do you picking your major and your area of study.

nego birajući glavni predmet i područje proučavanja.

But the point is, it's on us to figure that out,

No, na nama je da to odgonetnemo,

and we need a framework, we need a way to navigate through this.

a za to nam je potreban okvir. Treba nam plan napada.

And so the first step of our compass is finding out what our unique strengths are.

Prvi je korak pronaći jake strane koje su svojstvene samo nama.

What are the things that we wake up loving to do no matter what,

Što volimo raditi svakog dana, bez obzira na sve,

whether we're paid or we're not paid, the things that people thank us for?

neovisno o tome plaćaju li nas za to ili ne, nešto na čemu nam zahvaljuju?

And the Strengths Finder 2.0 is a book and also an online tool.

"Tragatelj za snagama 2.0" knjiga je, ali i online-pomagalo.

I highly recommend it for sorting out what it is that you're naturally good at.

Preporučujem ga za pronalaženje stvari koje vam prirodno leže.

And next, what's our framework or our hierarchy for making decisions?

Zatim, što je naš okvir ili hijerarhija za donošenje odluka?

Do we care about the people, our family, health,

Je li nam stalo do ljudi, naše obitelji, zdravlja

or is it achievement, success, all this stuff?

ili postignuća, uspjeha, svega toga?

We have to figure out what it is to make these decisions,

Moramo znati što nas to pokreće u donošenju odluka,

so we know what our soul is made of,

da znamo od čega nam je duša satkana

so that we don't go selling it to some cause we don't give a shit about.

kako je ne bismo prodali za nešto do čega nam uopće nije stalo.

And then the next step is our experiences.

Sljedeći korak naša su iskustva.

All of us have these experiences. We learn things every day, every minute

Svi mi imamo ta iskustva. Naučimo nešto novo svakog sata svakog dana

about what we love, what we hate,

o tome što volimo, što mrzimo,

what we're good at, what we're terrible at.

u čemu smo dobri, u čemu smo loši.

And if we don't spend time paying attention to that

Ako ne posvetimo vrijeme na opažanje toga

and assimilating that learning

i na asimiliranje tog učenja

and applying it to the rest of our lives, it's all for nothing.

i ne primjenjivanje naučenoga do kraja života, sve je uzalud.

Every day, every week, every month of every year

Svakog dana, svakog tjedna, svakog mjeseca, svake godine

I spend some time just reflecting on what went right,

malo vremena posvetim osvrćući se na postignuća,

what went wrong, and what do I want to repeat,

poraze i na ono što želim ponovno napraviti,

what can I apply more to my life.

što mogu dodati u svoj život.

And even more so than that, as you see people, especially today,

Štoviše, kako vidite ljude, pogotovo danas,

who inspire you, who are doing things where you say

koji vas inspiriraju, rade ono zbog čega vi kažete:

"Oh God, what Jeff is doing, I want to be like him."

"Ajme, vidi Jeffa. I ja želim biti poput njega!"

Why are you saying that? Open up a journal.

Zašto to govorite? Vodite dnevnik.

Write down what it is about them that inspires you.

Zapišite što vas to na njima inspirira.

It's not going to be everything about their life,

Neće se raditi o cijelom njihovom životu,

but whatever it is, take note on that,

ali što god vas inspirira, zapišite to.

so over time we'll have this repository of things

Nakon nekog vremena imat ćete skladište stvari

that we can use to apply to our life and have a more passionate existence

koje možete primijeniti na svoj život i strastvenije postojati

and make a better impact.

te ostaviti veći trag.

Because when we start to put these things together,

Kad sve te stvari počnemo spajati,

we can then define what success actually means to us,

možemo definirati što nam uspjeh zaista znači,

and without these different parts of the compass, it's impossible.

a to je nemoguće bez tih različitih dijelova.

We end up in the situation -- we have that scripted life

Završimo u situaciji u kojoj živimo po scenariju života

that everybody seems to be living going up this ladder to nowhere.

koji žive svi koji se uspinju ovim ljestvama za propast.

It's kind of like in Wall Street 2, if anybody saw that,

To je pomalo nalik Wall Streetu 2, ako je to tko gledao.

the peon employee asks the big Wall Street banker CEO,

Radnik pita velikog direktora banke na Wall Streetu:

"What's your number? Everyone's got a number,

"Koja je tvoja cifra? Svatko je ima -

where if they make this money, they'll leave it all."

cifra zbog koje će sve ostaviti kad je dosegnu."

He says, "Oh, it's simple. More."

Rekao je: "Odgovor je jednostavan - više."

And he just smiles.

I samo se nasmiješio.

And it's the sad state of most of the people

To je tužno stanje u kojem se nalaze

that haven't spent time understanding what matters for them,

oni koji se ne potrude pronaći ono što im je bitno,

who keep reaching for something that doesn't mean anything to us,

oni koji pokušavaju dosegnuti nešto što im ništa ne znači,

but we're doing it because everyone said we're supposed to.

ali ipak to rade jer im svi govore da to tako moraju.

But once we have this framework together,

Kad sastavimo ovaj okvir,

we can start to identify the things that make us come alive.

možemo naći stvari koje nas ispunjavaju.

You know, before this, a passion could come and hit you in the face,

Prije ovoga da vam je strast bila pod nosom

or maybe in your possible line of work, you might throw it away

ili u vašoj potencijalnoj struci, možda biste je odbacili

because you don't have a way of identifying it.

jer je nemate kako prepoznati.

But once you do, you can see something that's congruent with my strengths,

No, jednom kad to učinite, vidite nešto što odgovara vašim snagama,

my values, who I am as a person,

vašim vrijednostima, vama kao osobi,

so I'm going to grab ahold of this, I'm going to do something with it,

pa se uhvatite toga, odlučite napraviti nešto po tom pitanju,

and I'm going to pursue it and try to make an impact with it.

slijediti svoj san i pokušati ostaviti trag pomoću njega.

And Live Your Legend and the movement we've built

Živi svoju legendu i pokret koji smo stvorili

wouldn't exist if I didn't have this compass to identify,

ne bi postojali da nisam imao tu vodilju za prepoznati:

"Wow, this is something I want to pursue and make a difference with."

"Ovo je nešto čime se želim baviti i promijeniti nešto."

If we don't know what we're looking for, we're never going to find it,

Ako ne znamo što tražimo, nikad to nećemo naći,

but once we have this framework, this compass,

ali kad imamo ovaj okvir, tu vodilju,

then we can move on to what's next -- and that's not me up there --

možemo prijeći na sljedeći korak - to nisam ja -

doing the impossible and pushing our limits.

raditi nemoguće i napredovati.

There's two reasons why people don't do things.

Ljudi nešto ne rade iz dva razloga.

One is they tell themselves they can't do them,

Prvi - govore si da nešto ne mogu

or people around them tell them they can't do them.

ili im drugi ljudi govore da to ne mogu.

Either way, we start to believe it.

Kako bilo, počnemo vjerovati u to

Either we give up, or we never start in the first place.

ili odustanemo ili se nečega nikada ni ne uhvatimo.

The things is, everything was impossible until somebody did it.

No, sve je bilo nemoguće dok to netko nije učinio.

Every invention, every new thing in the world,

Za svaki izum, za svaku novu stvar u svijetu

people thought were crazy at first.

ljudi su prvo mislili da je luda.

Roger Bannister and the four-minute mile, it was a physical impossibility

Roger Bannister i četverominutna milja; bilo je fizički nemoguće

to break the four-minute mile in a foot race

pretrčati milju u četiri minute

until Roger Bannister stood up and did it.

sve dok to Roger Bannister nije učinio.

And then what happened?

Što se onda dogodilo?

Two months later, 16 people broke the four-minute mile.

Dva mjeseca kasnije, 16 ljudi postiglo je isto.

The things that we have in our head that we think are impossible

Stvari koje se nama čine nemoguće

are often just milestones waiting to be accomplished

često su tek prekretnice koje treba doseći

if we can push those limits a bit.

napredovanjem.

And I think this starts with probably your physical body and fitness

To vjerojatno najviše započinje s fizičkim tijelom i formom

more than anything, because we can control that.

jer to možemo kontrolirati.

If you don't think you can run a mile,

Ako ne mislite da možete istrčati milju.

you show yourself you can run a mile or two,

pokažete si da možete preći milju ili dvije

or a marathon, or lose five pounds, or whatever it is,

ili maraton ili izgubite 2 kg ili što već,

you realize that confidence compounds

shvatite da se samouvjerenost gomila

and can be transferred into the rest of your world.

i može se proširiti na ostatak vašeg svijeta.

And I've actually gotten into the habit of this a little bit with my friends.

Ušlo mi je u naviku to raditi s prijateljima.

We have this little group. We go on physical adventures,

Imamo malu grupu. idemo na fizičke pustolovine

and recently, I found myself in a kind of precarious spot.

i nedavno sam se našao u opasnom položaju.

I'm terrified of deep, dark, blue water.

Strahovito se bojim duboke, tamne, modre vode.

I don't know if anyone's ever had that same fear

Ne znam ima li još tko takav strah.

ever since they watched Jaws 1, 2, 3 and 4 like six times

Mene prati otkad sam pogledao Ralje 1, 2, 3 i 4 po 6 puta

when I was a kid.

kad sam bio dijete.

But anything above here, if it's murky, I can already feel it right now.

Ali sve iznad ovoga, ako je mutno - već ga sad osjećam.

I swear there's something in there.

Kunem se, nešto je unutra.

Even if it's Lake Tahoe, it's fresh water, totally unfounded fear,

Čak i jezero Tahoe, njegova svježa voda, potpuno neopravdan strah,

ridiculous, but it's there.

smiješan, ali tu je.

Anyway, three years ago I find myself on this tugboat

No, prije tri godine bio sam na tegljaču

right down here in the San Francisco Bay.

na zaljevu San Francisca.

It's a rainy, stormy, windy day, and people are getting sick on the boat,

Taj dan bilo je kiše, oluje i vjetra, ljudima je pozlilo na brodu

and I'm sitting there wearing a wetsuit, and I'm looking out the window

i ja sam sjedio u ronilačkom odijelu, gledao kroz prozor

in pure terror thinking I'm about to swim to my death.

smrtno prestrašen misleći kako ću otplivati u smrt.

I'm going to try to swim across the Golden Gate.

Pokušat ću preplivati preko mosta Golden Gate.

And my guess is some people in this room might have done that before.

Pretpostavljam da su neki ljudi u ovoj prostoriji to već radili.

I'm sitting there, and my buddy Jonathan, who had talked me into it,

Sjedim ja tamo s prijateljem Jonathanom koji me nagovorio na to,

he comes up to me and he could see the state I was in.

prilazi mi i vidi u kakvom sam stanju

And he says, "Scott, hey man, what's the worst that could happen?

i kaže: "Scott, pa što je najgore što se može dogoditi?

You're wearing a wetsuit. You're not going to sink.

Imaš odijelo, nećeš potonuti.

And If you can't make it, just hop on one of the 20 kayaks.

Ako ne budeš mogao, samo skoči na jedan od 20 kajaka.

Plus, if there's a shark attack, why are they going to pick you

Usto - ako psina i napadne, zašto bi izabrala tebe,

over the 80 people in the water?" So thanks, that helps.

a ne drugih 80 ljudi u vodi?" Hvala, puno si mi pomogao.

He's like, "But really, just have fun with this. Good luck."

Ali reče: "Ozbiljno, samo se zabavi. Sretno."

And he dives in, swims off. OK.

I zaroni i otpliva. Dobro.

Turns out, the pep talk totally worked, and I felt this total feeling of calm,

Ispada da je to bodrenje upalilo i osjetio sam se potpuno mirno

and I think it was because Jonathan was 13 years old.

i mislim da je to bilo zato što je Jonathanu bilo 13 godina.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

And of the 80 people swimming that day,

I od 80 ljudi koji su taj dan plivali,

65 of them were between the ages of nine and 13.

65 imalo je između devet i trinaest godina.

Think how you would have approached your world differently

Zamislite kako biste svom svijetu drugačije pristupili

if at nine years old you found out you could swim a mile and a half

da ste s devet godina otkrili da možete preplivati milju i pol

in 56-degree water from Alcatraz to San Francisco.

u vodi temperature 13°C od Alcatraza do San Franciska.

What would you have said yes to?

Čemu biste sve rekli "da"?

What would you have not given up on? What would you have tried?

Od čega ne biste digli ruke? Što biste isprobali?

As I'm finishing this swim, I get to Aquatic Park,

Završavam s plivanjem, dolazim do Aquatic parka,

and I'm getting out of the water

izlazim iz vode

and of course half the kids are already finished,

i, naravno, pola djece već je otplivalo,

so they're cheering me on and they're all excited.

pa me bodre i jako su uzbuđeni.

And I got total popsicle head, if anyone's ever swam in the Bay,

Mozak mi se sledio. ako je netko plivao Zaljevom,

and I'm trying to just thaw my face out, and I'm watching people finish.

pokušavam si otopiti lice i gledam druge kako završavaju.

And I see this one kid, something didn't look right.

Ugledam jednog dječaka I nešto je izgledalo krivo;

And he's just flailing like this.

samo je ovako mlatarao ručicama.

And he's barely able to sip some air before he slams his head back down.

Jedva je uspijevao udahnuti malo zraka prije nego što je opet zaronio.

And I notice other parents were watching too,

Primijetio sam da ga drugi roditelji gledaju

and I swear they were thinking the same thing I was:

i kladim se da su mislili isto što i ja:

this is why you don't let nine-year-olds swim from Alcatraz.

evo zašto ne treba dopustiti devetogodišnjaku da pliva od Alcatraza.

This was not fatigue.

Nije bio umoran.

All of a sudden, two parents run up and grab him,

Iznenada, dva su roditelja potrčala, zgrabila ga,

and they put him on their shoulders, and they're dragging him like this,

stavila na ramena i ovako ga vukla,

totally limp.

potpuno mlohavog.

And then all of a sudden they walk a few more feet

Iznenada su još malo prošetali

and they plop him down in his wheelchair.

i spustili ga u njegova kolica.

And he puts his fists up in the most insane show of victory I've ever seen.

I složio je ruke kao najveći pobjednik.

I can still feel the warmth and the energy on this guy

Još uvijek osjećam toplinu i energiju tog dječaka

when he made this accomplishment.

kad je uspio.

I had seen him earlier that day in his wheelchair.

Vidio sam ga ranije tog dana u kolicima,

I just had no idea he was going to swim.

samo što nisam znao da će plivati.

I mean, where is he going to be in 20 years?

Mislim, gdje li će tek on biti za 20 godina?

How many people told him he couldn't do that, that he would die if he tried that?

Koliko mu je ljudi reklo da on to ne može, da će umrijeti ako pokuša?

You prove people wrong, you prove yourself wrong,

Dokažete drugima da su u krivu, kao i sebi,

that you can make little incremental pushes

da možete raditi malene korake

of what you believe is possible.

prema onom što je za vas moguće.

You don't have to be the fastest marathoner in the world,

Ne morate biti najbrži maratonac na svijetu,

just your own impossibilities, to accomplish those,

usmjerite se na vlastite nemogućnosti,

and it starts with little bitty steps.

a to počinjete malim koracima.

And the best way to do this

Najbolji način da to učinite

is to surround yourself with passionate people.

jest da se okružite strastvenim ljudima.

The fastest things to do things you don't think can be done

Najbrži način da ostvarite nešto što mislite da je nemoguće

is to surround yourself with people already doing them.

jest da se okružite ljudima koji to već rade.

There's this quote by Jim Rohn and it says.

Citat Jima Rohna kaže:

"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."

"Svatko od nas je prosjek petero ljudi s kojima se najviše druži."

And there is no bigger lifehack in the history of the world

Nema boljeg načina

from getting where you are today to where you want to be

da se maknete od toga što ste danas do onoga što želite biti

than the people you choose to put in your corner.

od izbora pravih ljudi koji će biti na vašoj strani.

They change everything, and it's a proven fact.

Oni sve mijenjaju, to je dokazano.

In 1898, Norman Triplett did this study with a bunch of cyclists,

G. 1898. Norman Triplett napravio je istraživanje s gomilom biciklista

and he would measure their times around the track in a group,

te je mjerio njihove rekorde unutar grupe

and also individually.

i pojedinačno.

And he found that every time the cyclists in the group would cycle faster.

Otkrio je da biciklist u grupi uvijek brže vozi.

And it's been repeated in all kinds of walks of life since then,

To je otada zapaženo i na ostalim poljima

and it proves the same thing over again,

i svaki put dokazuje istu stvar -

that the people around you matter, and environment is everything.

bitni su ljudi kojima ste okruženi, a okolina je sve.

But it's on you to control it, because it can go both ways.

Na vama je da je kontrolirate jer zna i loše utjecati.

With 80 percent of people who don't like the work they do,

Osamdeset posto ljudi ne voli svoj posao,

that means most people around us, not in this room, but everywhere else,

što znači da većina ljudi oko nas, ne ovdje, ali svugdje drugdje,

are encouraging complacency and keeping us from pursuing the things that matter to us

potiču na nerad i sprječavaju nas u ostvarivanju stvari koje su nam bitne.

so we have to manage those surroundings.

Moramo paziti na takvu okolinu.

I found myself in this situation --

Našao sam se u takvoj situaciji

personal example, a couple years ago.

prije nekoliko godina.

Has anyone ever had a hobby or a passion they poured their heart and soul into,

Je li itko od vas imao hobi ili strast u koji ste potpuno unijeli i sebe

unbelievable amount of time, and they so badly want to call it a business,

i sve svoje vrijeme i žarko željeli od toga napraviti posao,

but no one's paying attention and it doesn't make a dime?

ali nikoga nije bilo briga, pa niste ništa zaradili?

OK, I was there for four years trying to build this Live Your Legend movement

Proživljavao sam to četiri godine dok sam pokušavao stvoriti ovaj pokret

to help people do work that they genuinely cared about and that inspired them,

kojim bih pomagao ljudima da rade ono što ih uistinu zanima i inspirira

and I was doing all I could,

i činio sam sve što sam mogao

and there were only three people paying attention,

i samo je troje ljudi zanimalo što radim.

and they're all right there: my mother, father and my wife, Chelsea.

Svi su sada tu: moja mama, tata i supruga Chelsea.

Thank you guys for the support.

Hvala vam na podršci!

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

And this is how badly I wanted it, it grew at zero percent for four years,

Evo koliko sam to žarko želio - tijekom četiri godine posao nije nimalo porastao

and I was about to shut it down,

i planirao sam odustati od njega,

and right about then,

no baš tada

I moved to San Francisco and started to meet some pretty interesting people

preselio sam u San Francisco i počeo upoznavati zanimljive ljude

who had these crazy lifestyles of adventure,

koji su vodili lude pustolovne živote,

of businesses and websites and blogs

poslove i web-stranice i blogove

that surrounded their passions and helped people in a meaningful way.

stvorene oko njihovih strasti te su znatno pomagali ljudima.

And one of my friends, now, he has a family of eight,

Jedan od mojih prijatelja, član osmeročlane obitelji,

and he supports his whole family

prehranjuje cijelu svoju obitelj

with a blog that he writes for twice a week.

pisanjem bloga dvaput tjedno.

They just came back from a month in Europe, all of them together.

Upravo su se vratili iz Europe nakon mjesec dana provedenih tamo.

This blew my mind. How does this even exist?

To me izbezumilo. Zar to uopće postoji?

And I got unbelievably inspired by seeing this,

To me strašno inspiriralo.

and instead of shutting it down, I decided, let's take it seriously.

Umjesto da sam odustao od sna, odlučio sam ga ozbiljnije shvatiti.

And I did everything I could to spend my time,

Potrudio sam se da svoje vrijeme posvetim,

every waking hour possible trying to hound these guys,

svaki mogući sat, maltretirajući te ljude,

hanging out and having beers and workouts, whatever it was.

družeći se s njima, ispijajući pivo, vježbajući, što god.

And after four years of zero growth,

Nakon četiri godine nikakvog rasta

within six months of hanging around these people,

unutar šest mjeseci druženja s tim ljudima,

the community at Live Your Legend grew by 10 times.

zajednica Živi svoju legendu porasla je desetostruko.

In another 12 months, it grew by 160 times.

U sljedećih 12 mjeseci, porasla je 160 puta.

And today over 30,000 people from 158 countries

A danas 30 000 ljudi iz 158 zemalja

use our career and connection tools on a monthly basis.

mjesečno koriste naša pomagala za karijeru i povezivanje.

And those people have made up that community of passionate folks

Ti ljudi tu su zajednicu složili od strastvenih ljudi

who inspired that possibility that I dreamed of

koji su inspirirali ostvarivanje mog sna

for Live Your Legend so many years back.

za Živi svoju legendu prije toliko godina.

The people change everything, and this is why --

Ljudi sve mijenjaju baš zbog toga.

you know, you ask what was going on.

Znate, pitate što se događalo.

Well, for four years, I knew nobody in this space,

Četiri godine nisam znao nikoga na tom području,

and I didn't even know it existed, that people could do this stuff,

nisam znao ni da postoji, da ljudi to mogu raditi,

that you could have movements like this.

da možete imati takve pokrete.

And then I'm over here in San Francisco, and everyone around me was doing it.

I onda dođem u San Francisco i svi oko mene to rade,

It became normal, so my thinking went from how could I possibly do this

postalo je normalno, moj način razmišljanja pomakao se od nemogućnosti

to how could I possibly not.

do obveznosti.

And right then, when that happens, that switch goes on in your head,

Baš onda kad se to dogodi, nešto se promijeni u vama

it ripples across your whole world.

i proširi se na cijeli vaš svijet.

And without even trying, your standards go from here to here.

Bez pokušavanja standardi vam porastu s ovoga na ovo.

You don't need to change your goals. You just need to change your surroundings.

Ne morate mijenjati svoje ciljeve. Morate samo promijeniti okolinu.

That's it, and that's why I love being around this whole group of people,

To je to, a upravo zbog toga uživam u ovoj grupi ljudi,

why I go to every TED event I can,

idem na svaku TED-konferenciju,

and watch them on my iPad on the way to work, whatever it is.

gledam ih na iPad-u dok idem na posao i sl.

Because this is the group of people that inspires possibility.

To je grupa ljudi koja inspirira na mogućnosti.

We have a whole day to spend together and plenty more.

Imamo cijeli dan za druženje i još štošta.

To sum things up, in terms of these three pillars,

Uglavnom, što se tiče ova tri temeljna stupa,

they all have one thing in common more than anything else.

svima je zajednička jedna stvar.

They are 100 percent in our control.

Svi su 100 % pod našom kontrolom.

No one can tell you you can't learn about yourself.

Nitko vam ne može reći da ne možete upoznati sebe,

No one can tell you you can't push your limits

niti da ne možete napredovati,

and learn your own impossible and push that.

naučiti svoje nemogućnosti i onda ih pobijediti.

No one can tell you you can't surround yourself with inspiring people

niti da se ne možete okružiti inspirativnim ljudima

or get away from the people who bring you down.

ili da se ne možete maknuti iz nepoticajne okoline.

You can't control a recession.

Ne možete utjecati na recesiju

You can't control getting fired or getting in a car accident.

niti na dobivanje otkaza ili na automobilsku nesreću.

Most things are totally out of our hands.

Većina stvari nije u našim rukama.

These three things are totally on us,

Ove tri stvari jesu

and they can change our whole world if we decide to do something about it.

i mogu promijeniti cijeli naš svijet ako odlučimo učiniti nešto po tom pitanju.

And the thing is, it's starting to happen on a widespread level.

To se počinje sve više rasprostanjivati.

I just read in Forbes, the US Government reported for the first time

Baš sam pročitao u Forbesu da je američka vlada objavila da je

in a month where more people had quit their jobs

po prvi put u mjesec dana više ljudi dalo otkaz

than had been laid off.

nego što ga je dobilo.

They thought this was an anomaly, but it's happened three months straight.

Mislili su da je to anomalija, ali dogodilo se triput zaredom.

In a time where people claim it's kind of a tough environment,

U vremenu u kojemu ljudi tvrde da je okolina okrutna,

people are giving a middle finger to this scripted life,

ljudi se protive ovom životu po scenariju,

the things that people say you're supposed to do,

svemu što vam drugi govore da biste trebali

in exchange for things that matter to them and do the things that inspire them.

u zamjenu za stvari koje su njima bitne i za posao koji ih inspirira.

And the thing is, people are waking up to this possibility,

Ljudi počinju biti svjesni mogućnosti,

that really the only thing that limits possibility now is imagination.

shvaćaju da ih od mogućnosti sada odvaja samo mašta.

That's not a cliché anymore.

To više nije klišej.

I don't care what it is that you're into, what passion, what hobby.

Nije važno što vas zanima, kakvu strast imate, kakav hobi.

If you're into knitting, you can find someone who is killing it knitting,

Ako volite plesti, možete pronaći nekoga tko rastura u pletenju

and you can learn from them. It's wild.

i možete učiti od njih. Čisto ludilo!

And that's what this whole day is about, to learn from the folks speaking,

To je cilj današnjeg dana - naučiti nešto od govornika,

and we profile these people on Live Your Legend every day,

a mi ljude u pokretu "Živi svoju legendu" svakodnevno profiliramo

because when ordinary people are doing the extraordinary,

jer obični ljudi čine izuzetne stvari,

and we can be around that,

a mi se time možemo okružiti

it becomes normal.

pa će nam to postati normalno.

And this isn't about being Gandhi or Steve Jobs, doing something crazy.

Ne trebate biti Gandhi ili Steve Jobs i raditi nešto potpuno ludo,

It's just about doing something that matters to you,

već morate raditi ono što je vama bitno

and makes an impact that only you can make.

te ostavlja trag kakav samo vi možete ostaviti.

Speaking of Gandhi, he was a recovering lawyer,

Kad smo već kod Gandhija - bio je liječeni odvjetnik,

as I've heard the term,

tako su ga nazvali,

and he was called to a greater cause, something that mattered to him,

i pozvan je na službu višim ciljevima, nečemu što mu je bilo bitno,

he couldn't not do.

nije to mogao ne raditi.

And he has this quote that I absolutely live by.

Ovo je njegov citat po kojem živim:

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you,

"Prvo te ignoriraju, onda ti se smiju

then they fight you, then you win."

pa se bore protiv tebe, a onda ti pobijediš."

Everything was impossible until somebody did it.

Sve je bilo nemoguće dok to netko nije učinio.

You can either hang around the people who tell you it can't be done

Možete se družiti ili s ljudima koji govore da je to nemoguće

and tell you you're stupid for trying,

i da ste glupi što uopće pokušavate

or surround yourself with the people who inspire possibility,

ili se okružiti ljudima koji inspiriraju na mogućnost,

the people who are in this room.

ljudi koji su u ovoj prostoriji.

Because I see it as our responsibility to show the world

Smatram da je naša odgovornost pokazati svijetu

that what's seen as impossible can become that new normal.

da ono što se čini nemoguće može postati nova normalnost.

And that's already starting to happen.

To se već počinje događati.

First, do the things that inspire us,

Kao prvo, radimo ono što nas inspirira

so we can inspire other people to do the things that inspire them.

da možemo inspirirati druge da čine ono što njih inspirira.

But we can't find that

No, to ne možemo pronaći

unless we know what we're looking for.

ako ne znamo što tražimo.

We have to do our work on ourself,

Moramo raditi na sebi

be intentional about that, and make those discoveries.

s namjerom i doći do tih otkrića.

Because I imagine a world where 80 percent of people love the work they do.

Ja zamišljam svijet u kojem 80 % ljudi radi ono što vole.

What would that look like?

Kako bi to izgledalo?

What would the innovation be like? How would you treat the people around you?

Kako bi izgledale inovacije? Kako biste se odnosili prema ljudima oko vas?

Things would start to change.

Stvari bi se počele mijenjati.

And as we finish up, I have just one question to ask you guys,

Za kraj imam još samo jedno pitanje za vas,

and I think it's the only question that matters.

a mislim da je to jedino pitanje koje je bitno.

And it's what is the work you can't not do?

Koji to posao koji ne možete ne raditi?

Discover that, live it,

Otkrijte ga, živite po njemu,

not just for you, but for everybody around you,

ne samo zbog sebe, već zbog svih oko vas

because that is what starts to change the world.

jer je to ono što pokreće promjene u svijetu.

What is the work you can't not do?

Koji to posao ne možete ne raditi?

Thank you guys.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)
