The new American Dream | Courtney Martin

Prevoditelj: Tilen Pigac - EFZG Recezent: Ivan Stamenković

Ja sam novinarka,

I'm a journalist,

stoga volim neispričane priče,

so I like to look for the untold stories,

the lives that quietly play out under the scream of headlines.

živote koji se tiho odvijaju pod vikom naslova.

I've also been going about the business of putting down roots,

Također pratim stvari poput puštanja korijena,

choosing a partner, making babies.

odabira partnera, pravljenja djece.

So for the last few years,

Posljednjih nekoliko godina,

I've been trying to understand

pokušavam razumijeti

what constitutes the 21st-century good life,

što to sačinjava dobar život u 21. stoljeću,

zato što sam sam opčinjena moralnim i filozofskim posljedicama

both because I'm fascinated by the moral and philosophical implications,

but also because I'm in desperate need of answers myself.

ali i zato jer sam i sama u očajničkoj potrebi za odgovorima.

We live in tenuous times.

Živimo u nesigurnim vremenima.

In fact, for the first time in American history,

Zapravo, po prvi puta u američkoj povijesti

the majority of parents do not think that their kids will be better off

većina roditelja ne smatra kako će njihovoj djeci biti bolje

than they were.

nego njima.

This is true of rich and poor, men and women.

To vrijedi za bogate i siromašne, muškarce i žene.

Neki od vas će možda biti tužni kada to čuju.

Now, some of you might hear this and feel sad.

After all, America is deeply invested

Na kraju, Amerika je duboko uključena u

in this idea of economic transcendence,

ovu ideju ekonomske transcedencije,

that every generation kind of leapfrogs the one before it,

da svaka generacija napreduje u odnosu na prethodnu,

zarađuje više, kupuje više, je više.

earning more, buying more, being more.

We've exported this dream all over the world,

Izvezli smo ovaj san diljem svijeta,

so kids in Brazil and China and even Kenya

tako da klinci u Brazilu i Kini i čak Keniji

inherit our insatiable expectation

naslijeđuju naše nezasitno očekivanje

for more.

prema nečemu više.

Ali kada sam čitala ovu povijesnu anketu prvi puta,

But when I read this historic poll for the first time,

nije me rastužila.

it didn't actually make me feel sad.

It felt like a provocation.

Činila se kao provokacija.

"Better off" -- based on whose standards?

"Biti bolje" -- na osnovu čijih standarda?

Da li je "biti bolje" naći siguran posao

Is "better off" finding a secure job

na koji možeš računati ostatak života?

that you can count on for the rest of your life?

Takvi su skoro izumrli.

Those are nearly extinct.

People move jobs, on average, every 4.7 years,

Ljudi mijenjaju posao u prosjeku svakih 4.7 godine,

and it's estimated that by 2020,

te je procijenjeno da će do 2020.,

nearly half of Americans will be freelancers.

gotovo polovica Amerikanaca raditi honorarno.

OK, so is better off just a number?

U redu, da li je "biti bolje" samo broj?

Is it about earning as much as you possibly can?

Da li se radi o tome da se zaradi čim više?

Sa tom jednom mjerom, mi gubimo.

By that singular measurement, we are failing.

Median per capita income has been flat since about 2000,

Medijan po glavi dohotka stagnira od otprilike 2000.,

adjusted for inflation.

prilagođeno inflaciji.

U redu, da li je "biti bolje" velika kuća sa bijelom ogradom?

All right, so is better off getting a big house with a white picket fence?

Less of us are doing that.

Nearly five million people lost their homes in the Great Recession,

Sve nas je manje za to.

Skoro 5 milijuna ljudi izgubilo je domove tijekom Velike recesije

and even more of us sobered up about the lengths we were willing to go --

a još nas se više otrijeznilo u pogledu dokle smo spremni ići

or be tricked into going, in many predatory cases --

ili bivani prevareni kamo idemo, u mnogim slučajevima

to hold that deed.

kako bismo imali tu ispravu.

Home-ownership rates are at their lowest since 1995.

Razina posjedovanja nekretnine je najniža od 1995.

U redu, nemamo stalno zaposlenje,

All right, so we're not finding steady employment,

we're not earning as much money,

ne zarađujemo puno novca

and we're not living in big fancy houses.

i ne živimo u velikim, lijepim kućama.

Toll the funeral bells

Pogrebna zvona zvone

za sve što je učinilo Ameriku velikom.

for everything that made America great.

Ali,

But,

are those the best measurements of a country's greatness,

jesu li to najbolje mjere veličine neke zemlje,

of a life well lived?

dobro življenog života?

What I think makes America great is its spirit of reinvention.

Smatram da je ono što čini Ameriku velikom duh re-inovacije.

U osvit Velike recesije,

In the wake of the Great Recession,

more and more Americans are redefining what "better off" really means.

sve više Amerikanaca redefiniraju što znači "biti bolje.

Turns out, it has more to do with community and creativity

Ispostavilo se da ima više veze sa zajednicom i kreativnošću,

than dollars and cents.

nego sa dolarima i centima.

Now, let me be very clear:

Moram biti vrlo jasna:

the 14.8 percent of Americans living in poverty need money,

14.8 posto Amerikanaca koji žive u siromaštvu trebaju novac,

plain and simple.

jasno i glasno.

Svi mi trebamo politiku koja nas štiti od iskorištavanja

And all of us need policies that protect us from exploitation

by employers and financial institutions.

od strane poslodavaca i financijskih institucija.

Ništa što dolazi ne sugerira da je jaz između bogatih i siromašnih

Nothing that follows is meant to suggest that the gap between rich and poor

is anything but profoundly immoral.

išta drugo nego duboko nemoralan.

But,

Ali,

too often we let the conversation stop there.

prečesto dozvoljavamo da razgovor stane na tome.

We talk about poverty as if it were a monolithic experience;

Pričamo o siromaštvu kao da je monolitsko iskustvo;

about the poor as if they were solely victims.

o siromašnima kao da su isključivo žrtve.

Dio onog što sam naučila iz svojih istraživanja i izvještaja

Part of what I've learned in my research and reporting

je da je umjetnost dobrog življenja

is that the art of living well

is often practiced most masterfully

često prakticirana do majstorstva

by the most vulnerable.

od strane najranjivijih.

Now, if necessity is the mother of invention,

Ako je nužda majka izuma,

I've come to believe

počela sam vjerovati

that recession can be the father of consciousness.

da je recesija otac svjesnosti.

It confronts us with profound questions,

Suočava nas sa dubokim pitanjima,

questions we might be too lazy or distracted to ask

pitanjima koja smo prelijeni ili prezauzeti pitati

in times of relative comfort.

u vremenima relativne udobnosti.

Kako bismo trebali raditi?

How should we work?

How should we live?

Kako bismo trebali živjeti?

All of us, whether we realize it or not,

Svi mi, shvaćali to ili ne,

tražimo odgovore na ova pitanja,

seek answers to these questions,

with our ancestors kind of whispering in our ears.

dok nam naši preci šapuću u uho.

Moj pradjed je bio pijanac u Detroitu,

My great-grandfather was a drunk in Detroit,

koji bi ponekad uspio da zadrži posao u tvornici.

who sometimes managed to hold down a factory job.

He had, as unbelievable as it might sound,

Imao je, koliko god to nevjerojatno zvučalo,

21 children,

21 dijete,

with one woman, my great-grandmother,

sa jednom ženom, mojom prabakom,

who died at 47 years old of ovarian cancer.

koja je umrla sa 47 godina od raka jajnika.

Now, I'm pregnant with my second child,

Sada, kada sam trudna sa drugim djetetom

and I cannot even fathom what she must have gone through.

ne mogu niti zamisliti kroz što je morala proći.

And if you're trying to do the math -- there were six sets of twins.

Ako pokušavate izračunati -- radi se o 6 parova blizanaca.

So my grandfather, their son,

Moj djed, njihov sin,

became a traveling salesman,

postao je putujući prodavač,

and he lived boom and bust.

i preživio je i dobro i loše.

So my dad grew up answering the door for debt collectors

Moj tata je odrastao otvarajući vrata utjerivačima duga

and pretending his parents weren't home.

i praveći se da mu roditelji nisu doma.

He actually took his braces off himself with pliers in the garage,

Sam je skinuo zubnu protezu kliještima u garaži,

when his father admitted he didn't have money

kada mu je otac priznao da nema novaca

to go back to the orthodontist.

da opet idu ortodontu.

So my dad, unsurprisingly,

Tako da je moj otac postao, što ne iznenađuje,

became a bankruptcy lawyer.

stečajni odvjetnik.

Couldn't write this in a novel, right?

Ovo nema niti u romanu, je li?

He was obsessed with providing a secure foundation

Bio je opsjednut pružanjem sigurnog temelja

for my brother and I.

mojem bratu i meni.

So I ask these questions by way of a few generations of struggle.

Stoga pitam ova pitanja zbog nekoliko generacija borbe.

My parents made sure that I grew up on a kind of steady ground

Moji roditelji su osigurali da odrastem u sigurnosti

that allows one to question and risk and leap.

koja omogućava propitivanje, rizik i skok.

And ironically, and probably sometimes to their frustration,

Ironično, i vjerojatno ponekad frustrirajuće za njih,

it is their steadfast commitment to security

je da njihovo čvrsto stremljenje ka sigurnosti

that allows me to question its value,

meni omogućava propitivanje njene vrijednosti,

ili barem povijesno definirane vrijednosti

or at least its value as we've historically defined it

u 21. stoljeću.

in the 21st century.

So let's dig into this first question:

Krenimo sa prvim pitanjem:

How should we work?

Kako bismo trebali raditi?

We should work like our mothers.

Trebali bismo raditi kao naše majke.

That's right -- we've spent decades

Tako je -- proveli smo desetljeća

trying to fit women into a work world built for company men.

pokušavajući uklopiti žene u svijet rada namijenjenom muškarcima.

And many have done backbends to fit in,

I mnoge su učinile puno da se uklope,

but others have carved a more unconventional path,

ali druge su urezale puno neuobičajeniju stazu,

creating a patchwork of meaning and money

stvarajući kolaž značenja i novca

with enough flexibility to do what they need to do

sa dovoljno fleksibilnosti da naprave ono što moraju

for those that they love.

za one koje vole.

My mom called it "just making it work."

Moja mama je to zvala: "samo neka se radi."

Today I hear life coaches call it "a portfolio career."

Danas to "životni treneri" zovu "portfelj-karijerom."

Whatever you call it,

Kako god to zvali,

more and more men are craving these whole, if not harried, lives.

sve više muškaraca žudi za ovim cjelovitim i ne ugnjetavanim životima.

They're waking up to their desire and duty to be present fathers and sons.

Otvaraju se želji i dužnosti da budu prisutni očevi i sinovi.

Now, artist Ann Hamilton has said,

Umjetnica Ann Hamilton je rekla,

"Rad je vrsta znanja."

"Labor is a way of knowing."

Labor is a way of knowing.

Rad je vrsta znanja.

In other words, what we work on

Drugim riječima, ono na čemu radimo

is what we understand about the world.

je ono što razumijemo o svijetu.

Ako je to istina, a mislim da je,

If this is true, and I think it is,

then women who have disproportionately cared for the little ones

tada žene koje su relativno malo brinule za malene

and the sick ones and the aging ones,

i bolesne i za stare,

have disproportionately benefited

su se također relativno malo okoristile

from the most profound kind of knowing there is:

od najdublje vrste znanja koje postoji:

knowing the human condition.

znanja ljudskog uvjetovanja.

By prioritizing care,

Čineći skrb prvom,

men are, in a sense, staking their claim

muškarci, u neki ruku, tvrde svoje pravo

to the full range of human existence.

na puni opseg ljudskog postojanja.

To znači da 9-do-5 više ne odgovara svakome.

Now, this means the nine-to-five no longer works for anyone.

Punch clocks are becoming obsolete, as are career ladders.

Ukucavanje vremena dolaska je suvišno, a ujedno i karijerni napredak.

Whole industries are being born and dying every day.

Čitave industrije se rađaju i nestaju svakoga dana.

It's all nonlinear from here.

Od sada nadalje sve je nelinearno.

Stoga moramo prestati pitati djecu,

So we need to stop asking kids,

"Što želiš biti kada odrasteš?"

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"

and start asking them, "How do you want to be when you grow up?"

i početi ih pitati, "Kako želiš biti kad odrasteš?"

Their work will constantly change.

Njihov posao će biti neprestana promjena.

Zajednički nazivnik su oni.

The common denominator is them.

So the more they understand their gifts

Što više razumiju svoje darove

and create crews of ideal collaborators,

i stvore timove idealnih suradnika,

the better off they will be.

tim će im biti bolje.

The challenge ahead is to reinvent the social safety net

Izazov je ponovan izum mreže socijalne sigurnosti

to fit this increasingly fragmented economy.

koja će uklopiti ovo, sve više podijeljeno društvo.

We need portable health benefits.

Trebamo prijenosne zdravstvene povlastice.

We need policies that reflect that everyone deserves to be vulnerable

Trebamo politike koje odražavaju svačije pravo na ranjivost

or care for vulnerable others,

ili brigu za ranjivost drugih,

without becoming destitute.

bez oskudnosti.

Moramo ozbiljno promisliti univerzalni osnovni dohodak.

We need to seriously consider a universal basic income.

We need to reinvent labor organizing.

Moramo ponovno izumiti organizaciju rada.

The promise of a work world that is structured to actually fit

Obećanje svijeta rada koji se može uklopiti

our 21st century values,

u vrijednosti 21. stoljeća,

not some archaic idea about bringing home the bacon,

ne neka arhaična ideja o "donošenju slanine doma,"

is long overdue --

to već dosta kasni --

just ask your mother.

samo pitajte svoju majku.

Now, how about the second question:

Sada, što sa drugim pitanjem:

How should we live?

Kako bismo trebali živjeti?

We should live

Trebali bismo živjeti

like our immigrant ancestors.

kao naši preci koji su imigrirali.

Kada su došli u Ameriku,

When they came to America,

they often shared apartments, survival tactics, child care --

često su živjeli u zajedničkim stanovima, preživljavanje, skrb o djeci --

always knew how to fill one more belly,

uvijek su znali kako napuniti još jedan trbuh,

no matter how small the food available.

bez obzira koliko malo hrane imali.

But they were told that success meant leaving the village behind

Ali rečeno im je da uspjeh znači ostaviti selo iza

and pursuing that iconic symbol of the American Dream,

i tjerati onaj ikonični uspjeh Američkog Sna,

the white picket fence.

bijelu ogradu.

And even today, we see a white picket fence

Čak i danas, kada vidimo bijelu ogradu

and we think success, self-possession.

pomislimo na uspjeh, samo-vlasništvo.

But when you strip away the sentimentality,

Ali kada ogulimo sentimentalnost,

ono što zbilja čini je da nas dijeli.

what it really does is divides us.

Mnogi Amerikanci odbijaju bijelu ogradu

Many Americans are rejecting the white picket fence

and the kind of highly privatized life that happened within it,

i vrstu visoko privatiziranog života koji dolazi s njom

i ponovno prihvaćaju seoski život

and reclaiming village life,

reclaiming interdependence instead.

i uzajamnu ovisnost.

Fifty million of us, for example,

50 milijuna nas, na primjer,

live in intergenerational households.

živi u međugeneracijskim kućanstvima.

Ovaj je broj eksplodirao sa Velikom recesijom,

This number exploded with the Great Recession,

but it turns out people actually like living this way.

ali ispostavilo se da ljudi zapravo vole živjeti ovako.

Two-thirds of those who are living with multiple generations under one roof

Dvije trećine onih koji su živjeli sa više generacija pod jednim krovom

say it's improved their relationships.

kažu da je to poboljšalo njihove odnose.

Neki ljudi biraju dijeliti domove ne sa obitelji,

Some people are choosing to share homes not with family,

but with other people who understand the health and economic benefits

nego sa drugim ljudima koji razumiju zdravstvene i ekonomske dobrobiti

of daily community.

dnevne zajednice.

CoAbode, online platforma za samohrane majke koje žele dijeliti dom

CoAbode, an online platform for single moms looking to share homes

with other single moms,

sa drugim samohranim majkama,

ima 50.000 korisnika.

has 50,000 users.

And people over 65 are especially prone

Ljudi stariji od 65 su posebno skloni

to be looking for these alternative living arrangements.

traženju tih alternativnih životnih aranžmana.

Oni razumiju da njihova kvaliteta života

They understand that their quality of life

depends on a mix of solitude and solidarity.

ovisi o spoju samoće i solidarnosti.

Which is true of all of us when you think about it,

Ako promislite, to važi za sve,

young and old alike.

mlade i stare podjednako.

For too long, we've pretended that happiness is a king in his castle.

Predugo smo se pravili da je sreća biti kralj u dvorcu.

But all the research proves otherwise.

Sva istraživanja pokazuju upravo suprotno.

Pokazuju da su najzdraviji, najsretniji, i čak najsigurniji

It shows that the healthiest, happiest and even safest --

što se tiče katastrofa klimatskih promjena, kriminala, svega toga

in terms of both climate change disaster, in terms of crime, all of that --

Amerikanci koji žive isprepleteni sa svojim susjedima.

are Americans who live lives intertwined with their neighbors.

Now, I've experienced this firsthand.

Ja sam to iskusila iz prve ruke.

Zadnjih par godina živjela sam u dijeljenoj zajednici.

For the last few years, I've been living in a cohousing community.

It's 1.5 acres of persimmon trees,

1.5 jutara kaki voćaka,

this prolific blackberry bush that snakes around a community garden,

plodno žbunje kupina koje se obavijaju oko zajedničkog vrta, i

all smack-dab, by the way, in the middle of urban Oakland.

sve to u centru urbanog Oaklanda.

The nine units are all built to be different,

Devet jedinica stvoreno da budu drugačije,

different sizes, different shapes,

druge veličine, drugačijih oblika,

but they're meant to be as green as possible.

ali da budu zeleni koliko je to moguće.

So big, shiny black solar cells on our roof

Velike, blistave solarne ćelije na našem krovu

mean our electricity bill rarely exceeds

znače da naš račun za struju rijetko prelazi

more than five bucks in a month.

pet dolara mjesečno.

The 25 of us who live there are all different ages and political persuasions

25 nas koji žive tamo je različitih dobi i političkih uvjerenja

and professions,

i zanimanja,

and we live in homes that have everything a typical home would have.

i živimo u domovima koji imaju sve što tipičan dom ima.

Ali dodatno,

But additionally,

we share an industrial-sized kitchen and eating area,

dijelimo kuhinju industrijske veličine i blagavaonu

where we have common meals twice a week.

gdje dva puta tjedno zajedno jedemo.

Now, people, when I tell them I live like this,

Kada kažem ljudima da volim ovako živjeti,

često imaju jednu od dvije reakcije.

often have one of two extreme reactions.

Ili kažu: "Tko ne bi volio živjeti tako?"

Either they say, "Why doesn't everyone live like this?"

Or they say, "That sounds totally horrifying.

Ili kažu: "To zvuči potpuno užasavajuće.

I would never want to do that."

Ne bih to nikada željela uraditi."

Da vas razuvjerim: postoji sveto poštovanje prema privatnosti među nama

So let me reassure you: there is a sacred respect for privacy among us,

but also a commitment to what we call "radical hospitality" --

ali i predanost onome što zovemo "radikalna gostoljubivost" --

not the kind advertised by the Four Seasons,

ne ona koju oglašavaju Four Seasons,

but the kind that says that every single person is worthy of kindness,

nego ona koja kaže da je svaka osoba vrijedna ljubaznosti,

full stop, end of sentence.

točka, kraj rečenice.

Meni najveće iznenađenje u zajednici poput ove?

The biggest surprise for me of living in a community like this?

You share all the domestic labor -- the repairing, the cooking, the weeding --

Dijeljenje kućnog rada -- popravci, kuhanje, pljevljenje --

ali i dijeljenje emocionalnog rada.

but you also share the emotional labor.

Rather than depending only on the idealized family unit

Umjesto oslanjanja samo na idealiziranu obiteljsku jedinicu

to get all of your emotional needs met,

za brigu o svim emocionalnim potrebama,

you have two dozen other people that you can go to

imate dva tuceta drugih ljudi kojima možete ići

to talk about a hard day at work

pričati o teškom danu na poslu

or troubleshoot how to handle an abusive teacher.

ili riješiti problem učitelja koji loše postupa.

Tinejdžeri u našoj zajednici često idu odrasloj osobi koja im nije roditelj

Teenagers in our community will often go to an adult that is not their parent

to ask for advice.

pitati za savjet.

It's what bell hooks called "revolutionary parenting,"

Belle Hooks je to nazvala "revolucionarnim roditeljstvom,"

this humble acknowledgment

to skromno priznanje

that kids are healthier when they have a wider range of adults

da su djeca zdravija kada imaju širi krug odraslih

to emulate and count on.

da emuliraju i računaju na njih.

Turns out, adults are healthier, too.

Ispostavilo se da su i odrasli zdraviji.

It's a lot of pressure,

Velik je to pritisak,

trying to be that perfect family behind that white picket fence.

pokušavati biti ta savršena obitelj iza bijele ograde.

The "new better off," as I've come to call it,

"Novo bolje", kako sam to nazvala,

is less about investing in the perfect family

je manje o ulaganju u savršenu obitelj

and more about investing in the imperfect village,

a više o ulaganju u nesavršeno selo,

bilo da su to rođaci pod jednim krovom,

whether that's relatives living under one roof,

a cohousing community like mine,

zajednica su-kućanstava poput moje,

or just a bunch of neighbors who pledge to really know

ili samo zajednica susjeda koji su odlučili zbilja znati

and look out for one another.

i brinuti jedni o drugima.

To je dobar zdrav razum, zar ne?

It's good common sense, right?

And yet, money has often made us dumb

A ipak, novac nas često čini glupima

about reaching out.

kada treba dotaknuti druge.

The most reliable wealth

Najpouzdanije bogatstvo

is found in relationship.

je u odnosima.

The new better off is not an individual prospect at all.

"Nove bolje" uopće ne znači pojedinačni uspjeh.

In fact, if you're a failure or you think you're a failure,

Zapravo, ako ste gubitnik ili mislite da ste gubitnik,

I've got some good news for you:

imam dobre vijest za vas:

mogli bi biti uspjeh po standardima koje još ne poštujete.

you might be a success by standards you have not yet honored.

Maybe you're a mediocre earner but a masterful father.

Možda ste samo osrednji privređivač, ali izvrstan otac.

Maybe you can't afford your dream home,

Možda si ne možete priuštiti kuću iz snova,

but you throw legendary neighborhood parties.

ali možete legendarne zabave u susjedstvu.

If you're a textbook success,

Ako ste tip uspjeha po udžbeniku,

the implications of what I'm saying could be more grim for you.

implikacije ovoga bi mogle biti sumorne po vas.

You might be a failure by standards you hold dear

Mogli biste biti gubitnik po vama bitnim standardima,

but that the world doesn't reward.

ali koje svijet ne nagrađuje.

Only you can know.

To samo vi možete znati.

I know that I am not a tribute

Znam da nisam na počast

to my great-grandmother,

svojoj prabaki,

koja je živjela tako kratak i surov život,

who lived such a short and brutish life,

if I earn enough money to afford every creature comfort.

ako zaradim dosta da si priuštim svaku moguću ugodu.

You can't buy your way out of suffering or into meaning.

Ne možete kupiti put iz patnje ili prema značenju.

There is no home big enough

Ne postoji dom dovoljno velik

to erase the pain that she must have endured.

da izbriše bol koju je ona morala izdržati.

I am a tribute to her

Ja joj odajem počast

if I live a life as connected and courageous as possible.

ako živim povezan i hrabar život koliko mogu.

In the midst of such widespread uncertainty,

Usred toliko rasprostranjene nesigurnosti,

we may, in fact, be insecure.

mi zapravo možemo biti nesigurni.

But we can let that insecurity make us brittle

Ali nesigurnost nas može učiniti krhkima

or supple.

ili gipkima.

We can turn inward, lose faith in the power of institutions to change --

Možemo se introvertirati, izgubiti vjeru u promjenu institucija --

even lose faith in ourselves.

čak i izgubiti vjeru u same sebe.

Or we can turn outward,

Ili se možemo okrenuti na van,

cultivate faith in our ability to reach out, to connect, to create.

gojiti vjeru u sposobnost da posegnemo, da se povežemo, da stvaramo.

Ispada da najveća opasnost

Turns out, the biggest danger

nije neuspjeh u ostvarenju Američkog Sna.

is not failing to achieve the American Dream.

The biggest danger is achieving a dream

Najveća opasnost je u ostvarenju sna

u koji zapravo ne vjerujemo.

that you don't actually believe in.

So don't do that.

Nemojte to raditi.

Napravite težu, zanimljiviju stvar,

Do the harder, more interesting thing,

which is to compose a life where what you do every single day,

gdje stvarate život u kojem se ono što radite svakoga dana,

the people you give your best love and ingenuity and energy to,

ljudi kojima dajete najbolju ljubav, pronicljivost i energiju,

aligns as closely as possible with what you believe.

poravnava najviše što je moguće sa onim u što vjerujete.

To, a ne nešto prizemno poput zarađivanja,

That, not something as mundane as making money,

Hvala vam.
