A few years ago,
I felt like I was stuck in a rut,
0
15260
4976
Pyrma dažim godim
es sasajutu, kai byutu īsasprīds kasdīnā,
00:20
so I decided to follow in the footsteps
1
20260
1976
deļtuo izdūmuoju sekuot
00:22
of the great American
philosopher, Morgan Spurlock,
2
22260

dyžanuo amerikaņu filosofa
Morgana Sperloka pāduos
00:25
and try something new for 30 days.
3
25820
2416
i 30 dīnys paraudzeit kū jaunu.
00:28
The idea is actually pretty simple.
4
28783
1753
Ideja ir cīši vīnkuorša.
00:30
Think about something you've always
wanted to add to your life
5
30935
3001
Aizadūmoj par kū taidu,
kū sovā dzeivē vysod esi gribiejis padareit
00:33
and try it for the next 30 days.
6
33960
2276
i paraugi tū cytys 30 dīnys.
00:37
It turns out 30 days is just
about the right amount of time
7
37157
3394
Izaruoda, kai 30 dīnys
ir taišni eistuo laika šaļts,
00:40
to add a new habit or subtract a habit --
8
40575
2692
kab dabuotu jaunu īrodumu
voi pamastu kaidu vacū,
00:43
like watching the news --
9
43291
1245
pīvadumam, ziņu vieršonuos
00:44
from your life.
10
44560
1676
nu sovys dzeivis.
00:46
There's a few things I learned
while doing these 30-day challenges.
11
46260
3191
Ir koč kas, kū īsavuiceju,
dorūt itūs 30 dīnu aizdavumus.
00:49
The first was,
12
49882
1354
Vysu pyrma
00:51
instead of the months
flying by, forgotten,
13
51260
2976
mieneši naproskrieja garum, aizmiersteibā,
00:54
the time was much more memorable.
14
54260
2976
i beja daudzi vairuok kū atguoduot.
00:57
This was part of a challenge I did
to take a picture every day for a month.
15
57260
3572
Daļa izaicynuojuma aizdavuma beja
kotru mieneša dīnu sataiseit vīnu fotografeju.
01:00
And I remember exactly where I was
and what I was doing that day.
16
60856
4425
Es atguodoju, kur taišni beju
i kū tymā dīnā dareju.
01:06
I also noticed
17
66392
1277
Pamaneju,
01:07
that as I started to do more
and harder 30-day challenges,
18
67693
3329
ka kai dareju vaira
i gryušuokus 30 dīnu aizdavumus,
01:11
my self-confidence grew.
19
71046
1190
auga muna ticeiba sev.
01:12
I went from desk-dwelling computer nerd
20
72839
1897
Nū sātā sādūša datortuorpa
01:14
to the kind of guy who bikes to work.
21
74760
2476
es tyku par puiškinu,
kurs brauc iz dorbu ar ritini.
01:17
For fun!
22
77857
1248
Prīcys piec!
01:19
(Laughter)
23
79129
1350
(Smīklys)
01:20
Even last year, I ended up hiking
up Mt. Kilimanjaro,
24
80503
3023
Pārnajā godā saguoja izkuopt Kilimandžaro,
01:23
the highest mountain in Africa.
25
83550
1686
aukstuokajā kolnā Afrikā.
01:25
I would never have been that adventurous
before I started my 30-day challenges.
26
85260
5023
Pyrma izsuoču sovus 30 dīnu aizdavumus
nikod nabyutu tveics piec taidim pīdzeivuojumim
01:31
I also figured out that if you
really want something badly enough,
27
91260
4597
Es saprotu, ka eistyn koč kū gribi,
01:35
you can do anything for 30 days.
28
95881
2355
tod 30 dīnuos var padareit vysa kuo!
01:39
Have you ever wanted to write a novel?
29
99365
1865
Asat nazkod gribiejuši pīraksteit romanu?
01:42
Every November,
30
102219
1291
Kotru novembri
01:43
tens of thousands of people
31
103534
1302
desmitim tyukstūšu cylvāku
01:44
try to write their own
50,000-word novel, from scratch,
32
104860
4081
30 dīnu laikā rauga pīraksteit
sovu 50 000 vuordu romanu
01:48
in 30 days.
33
108965
1271
nu nullis.
01:50
It turns out, all you have to do
is write 1,667 words a day
34
110923
4849
Izaruoda, kai jiusim tik viņ
kai vīnu mienesi kotru dīnu juopīroksta
01:55
for a month.
35
115796
1203
1 667 vuordi.
01:57
So I did.
36
117833
1403
Tai es ari dareju.
01:59
By the way, the secret
is not to go to sleep
37
119260
2861
Cyta vydā, nūslāpums ir naīt gulātu,
02:02
until you've written
your words for the day.
38
122145
2097
cikom naasat pīrakstejuši ituos dīnys vuordus.
02:04
You might be sleep-deprived,
39
124790
1446
Jiusim varbyut byus mīga bods,
02:06
but you'll finish your novel.
40
126260
1698
nu dabeigsit sovu romanu.
02:09
Now is my book the next great
American novel?
41
129029
3207
Voi muna gruomota
ir jauns dyžanais Amerikys romans?
02:12
No. I wrote it in a month.
42
132707
1529
Nā! Es tū pīraksteju par vīnu mienesi!
02:14
It's awful.
43
134260
1836
Jis ir baimeigs!
02:16
(Laughter)
44
136120
1642
(Smīklys)
02:17
But for the rest of my life,
45
137786
2185
Tok vysu tuoļuokuo dzeivi,
02:19
if I meet John Hodgman at a TED party,
46
139995
2241
kod TED večerinkā
sasateiku ar Džonu Hodžmenu,
02:22
I don't have to say,
47
142260
1976
maņ nav juosoka:
02:24
"I'm a computer scientist."
48
144260
1976
„Es asu datorzynuotnīks.”
02:26
No, no, if I want to,
I can say, "I'm a novelist."
49
146260
3339
Nā, nā, ka grybu,
varu saceit: „Asu rakstinīks.”
02:29
(Laughter)
50
149623
3362
(Smīklys)
02:33
So here's one last thing
I'd like to mention.
51
153009
2227
Vei, pādejais, kū grybu saceit.
02:35
I learned that when I made
small, sustainable changes,
52
155260
3479
Es īsavuiceju, ka dorūt mozys
i ilgtspiejeigys puormejis,
02:38
things I could keep doing,
53
158763
1473
tū, kū es varu dareit ari iz prīšku,
02:40
they were more likely to stick.
54
160260
2223
tys īrosts palyka.
02:42
There's nothing wrong
with big, crazy challenges.
55
162507
2729
Lelim i trokim izaicynuojumim
nav ni vainis.
02:45
In fact, they're a ton of fun.
56
165260
2366
Eistyneibā, tī ir dyžan ļusteigi.
02:48
But they're less likely to stick.
57
168088
1602
Tok tī drūsai viņ nabyus īrodums.
02:50
When I gave up sugar for 30 days,
58
170510
2568
30 dīnys atsasokūt nu cukra,
02:53
day 31 looked like this.
59
173102
1815
31. dīna izaviere koč kai itai:
02:54
(Laughter)
60
174941
2304
(Smīklys)
02:57
So here's my question to you:
61
177269
2441
Tai niu es jums vaicoju:
02:59
What are you waiting for?
62
179734
1735
Kuo jius vēļ gaidit?
03:01
I guarantee you the next 30 days
63
181493
2278
Es varu drūsai saceit, ka cytys 30 dīnys
03:03
are going to pass
whether you like it or not,
64
183795
3600
īs iz prīkšu taipat, kai guojušys.
pateik jums tys voi nā,
03:07
so why not think about something
you have always wanted to try
65
187419
4699
tod parkū napadūmuot par kū taidu,
kū vysod asat gribiejs paraudzeit,
03:12
and give it a shot!
66
192142
1247
i dareit tū!
03:13
For the next 30 days.
67
193971
1349
Cytys 30 dīnys.
03:15
Thanks.
68
195916
1320
Paļdis.
