5 ways to kill your dreams | Bel Pesce

Prevoditelj: Izidora Zganjer Recezent: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG

Provela sam posljednje dvije godine pokušavajući

I dedicated the past two years to understanding

razumjeti kako ljudi ostvare svoje snove.

how people achieve their dreams.

When we think about the dreams we have,

Kada razmišljamo o svojim snovima

and the dent we want to leave in the universe,

i tragu kojeg želimo ostaviti u svemiru,

zapanjujuće je vidjeti koliko veliko je preklapanje

it is striking to see how big of an overlap there is

between the dreams that we have, and projects that never happen.

onoga što snujemo i projekata koji se nikada nisu ostvarili.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

So I'm here to talk to you today

Tako ću vam ja danas ispričati

about five ways how not to follow your dreams.

pet načina na koje ne biste trebali slijediti svoje snove.

Prvi: Vjerujte u uspjeh preko noći.

One: Believe in overnight success.

You know the story, right?

Poznata vam je priča, zar ne?

The tech guy built a mobile app and sold it very fast for a lot of money.

Informatičar je izradio mobilnu aplikaciju i prodao je jako brzo za jako puno novaca.

You know, the story may seem real, but I bet it's incomplete.

Znate, priča se može činiti stvarnom, ali kladim se da nije cijela ispričana.

If you go investigate further,

Pa ako malo istražite,

the guy has done 30 apps before

vidite da je dečko prije napravio 30 aplikacija

and he has done a master's on the topic, a PhD.

i ima magisterij ili doktorat.

He has been working on the topic for 20 years.

Bavi se tom tematikom već 20 godina.

This is really interesting.

Ovo je jako zanimljivo.

I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success.

Moja priča u Brazilu je priča o uspjehu preko noći.

I come from a humble family,

Dolazim iz skromne obitelji,

and two weeks before the deadline to apply for MIT,

i dva tjedna prije roka za prijavu na MIT,

I started the application process.

započela sam proces prijavljivanja.

And, voilà! I got in.

I eto! Upala sam.

People may think it's an overnight success,

Ljudi možda misle kako je to uspjeh preko noći,

but that only worked because for the 17 years prior to that,

ali to je samo zato jer sam 17 godina prije toga,

I took life and education seriously.

shvatila život i obrazovanje ozbiljno.

Your overnight success story is always a result

Priča o uspjehu preko noći je uvijek rezultat

of everything you've done in your life through that moment.

svega što ste učinili u svome životu do tog trenutka.

Two: Believe someone else has the answers for you.

Dva. Vjerujte da će netko drugi riješiti vaše dileme.

Constantly, people want to help out, right?

Stalno vam ljudi žele pomoći, zar ne?

All sorts of people: your family, your friends, your business partners,

Svi: vaša obitelj, vaši prijatelji, vaši poslovni partneri,

svi oni imaju ideje kojim putem biste trebali ići:

they all have opinions on which path you should take:

"And let me tell you, go through this pipe."

"Slušaj što ti kažem, odaberi ovu cijev."

But whenever you go inside,

Ali kada god se nađete unutra, shvatite da postoji puno putova koje morate odabrati.

there are other ways you have to pick as well.

And you need to make those decisions yourself.

A te odluke morate sami donijeti.

No one else has the perfect answers for your life.

Nitko nema savršene odgovore za vaš život.

And you need to keep picking those decisions, right?

A vi morate donositi te odluke, u redu?

The pipes are infinite and you're going to bump your head,

Jer cijevi su beskonačne i udariti ćete se u glavu,

and it's a part of the process.

a sve je to dio procesa.

Three, and it's very subtle but very important:

Treće, suptilno i vrlo važno:

Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed.

Odlučite se zadovoljiti sigurnim rastom.

So when your life is going great,

Kada vam ide super u životu,

you have put together a great team,

imate super tim,

and you have growing revenue, and everything is set --

rastu vam primanja i sve se složilo --

time to settle.

vrijeme je za smiriti se.

When I launched my first book,

Kada sam objavila prvu knjigu,

naporno sam radila kako bih je distribuirala širom Brazila.

I worked really, really hard to distribute it everywhere in Brazil.

Uz to, više od 3 milijuna ljudi ju je već skinulo,

With that, over three million people downloaded it,

over 50,000 people bought physical copies.

više od 50.000 ljudi je kupilo fizički primjerak.

When I wrote a sequel, some impact was guaranteed.

Kada sam pisala nastavak, neki utjecaj je bio siguran.

Even if I did little, sales would be OK.

Čak i da sam se malo potrudila, prodaja bi bila dobra.

But OK is never OK.

Ali dobro nikada nije dobro.

When you're growing towards a peak,

Kada težite nekome vrhuncu,

you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak.

morate raditi više nego ikada da dosegnete novi vrhunac.

Maybe if I did little,

Da sam malo radila, nekoliko stotina tisuća ljudi bi pročitalo knjigu,

a couple hundred thousand people would read it,

and that's great already.

što je već samo po sebi dobro.

But if I work harder than ever,

Ali ako radim više nego prije,

I can bring this number up to millions.

taj broj može doseći milijun.

That's why I decided, with my new book, to go to every single state of Brazil.

Zato sam odlučila, s novom knjigom obići sve države Brazila.

And I can already see a higher peak.

I već vidim viši vrh.

There's no time to settle down.

Vrijeme za zadovoljiti se ne postoji.

Fourth tip, and that's really important:

Četvrto, a to je jako važno:

Believe the fault is someone else's.

Vjerujte da je uvijek netko drugi kriv.

I constantly see people saying,

Ljudi to stalno govore.

"Da, imam tu super ideju, ali niti jedan investitor se ne usudi investirati."

"Yes, I had this great idea, but no investor had the vision to invest."

"Stvorio sam taj super proizvod,

"Oh, I created this great product,

but the market is so bad, the sales didn't go well."

ali tržište je tako loše, prodaja nije dobra bila."

Or, "I can't find good talent; my team is so below expectations."

ili "Ne mogu pronaći talentirane ljude, moj tim je tako ispod očekivanja."

If you have dreams,

Ako imate snove,

it's your responsibility to make them happen.

vaša je odgovornost da ih ostvarite.

Yes, it may be hard to find talent.

Da, možda je teško pronaći talentirane ljude.

Yes, the market may be bad.

Da, možda je tržište loše.

But if no one invested in your idea,

Ali ako nitko ne investira u vašu ideju,

if no one bought your product,

ako nitko ne kupi vaš proizvod,

for sure, there is something there that is your fault.

budite sigurni, tu negdje mora biti vaša greška.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Definitely.

Sigurno.

You need to get your dreams and make them happen.

Morate uhvatiti vaše snove i ostvariti ih.

And no one achieved their goals alone.

Nitko nije sam ostvario svoje snove.

But if you didn't make them happen, it's your fault and no one else's.

Ali ako ih ne ostvarite, to je samo vaša krivnja i od nikoga drugoga.

Be responsible for your dreams.

Budite odgovorni za svoje snove.

I zadnje, ovo je isto tako vrlo važno:

And one last tip, and this one is really important as well:

Believe that the only things that matter are the dreams themselves.

Vjerujte da su važni jedino sami snovi.

Once I saw an ad, and it was a lot of friends,

Vidjela sam jednu reklamu, s hrpom prijatelja,

they were going up a mountain, it was a very high mountain,

penjali su se na planinu, vrlo visoku planinu,

and it was a lot of work.

što je zahtijevno.

You could see that they were sweating and this was tough.

Mogli ste vidjeti da se znoje i da im je teško.

And they were going up, and they finally made it to the peak.

Tako su se penjali i napokon su stigli na vrh.

Of course, they decided to celebrate, right?

Naravno, odlučili su proslaviti, zar ne?

I'm going to celebrate, so, "Yes! We made it, we're at the top!"

Jer moraš to proslaviti

"To! Uspjeli smo, na vrhu smo!"

Two seconds later, one looks at the other and says,

Dvije sekunde kasnije, jedan pogleda drugoga i kaže:

"OK, let's go down."

"OK, idemo dolje."

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Life is never about the goals themselves.

Život se ne sastoji samo od ciljeva.

Life is about the journey.

Život se sastoji od putovanja.

Yes, you should enjoy the goals themselves,

Trebali biste uživati u ostvarenim ciljevima,

but people think that you have dreams,

ali ljudi misle da imate snove

and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams,

i kada god ostvarite jedan od tih snova,

it's a magical place where happiness will be all around.

nalazite se na magičnom mjestu okruženi samom srećom.

But achieving a dream is a momentary sensation,

Ali ostvarenje sna je senzacija trenutka,

a vaš život to nije.

and your life is not.

The only way to really achieve all of your dreams

Jedini način da zbilja ostvarite sve svoje snove

is to fully enjoy every step of your journey.

je da potpuno uživate u svakom koraku na tom putovanju.

That's the best way.

To je najbolji način.

And your journey is simple -- it's made of steps.

Putovanje je jednostavno -- sastoji se od koraka.

Neki će biti na pravom putu.

Some steps will be right on.

Sometimes you will trip.

Ponekad ćete se spotaknuti.

If it's right on, celebrate, because some people wait a lot to celebrate.

Ako ste na pravom putu, slavite jer neki dugo čekaju slavlje.

And if you tripped, turn that into something to learn.

A ako ste se spotaknuli, pretvorite to u znanje.

If every step becomes something to learn or something to celebrate,

Ako svaki korak postane znanje ili slavlje,

you will for sure enjoy the journey.

sigurno ćete uživati na putovanju.

So, five tips:

Dakle, pet savjeta:

Believe in overnight success,

Vjerujte u uspjeh preko noći.

believe someone else has the answers for you,

Vjerujte da netko drugi ima odgovore na vaša pitanja.

believe that when growth is guaranteed, you should settle down,

Odlučite se skrasiti kada je rast siguran.

believe the fault is someone else's,

Vjerujte da je uvijek netko drugi kriv.

and believe that only the goals themselves matter.

i vjerujte da su važni jedino ciljevi.

Believe me, you do that, and you will destroy your dreams.

Vjerujte mi, ako to sve napravite, uništiti ćete svoje snove.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

Thanks.
