Secrets of success in 8 words, 3 minutes | Richard St. John

Translator: Kristaps Kadiķis Reviewer: Juris Jerums

This is really a two-hour presentation I give to high school students,

Šī patiesībā ir divu stundu prezentācija, ko pasniedzu vidusskolēniem,

cut down to three minutes.

saīsināta līdz trim minūtēm.

And it all started one day on a plane, on my way to TED,

Tas viss sākās kādudien lidmašīnā, kad devos uz TED

seven years ago.

pirms septiņiem gadiem.

And in the seat next to me was a high school student, a teenager,

Man blakus sēdēja vidusskolniece, pusaudze,

and she came from a really poor family.

un viņa nāca no ļoti nabadzīgas ģimenes.

And she wanted to make something of her life,

Viņa gribēja dzīvē kaut ko sasniegt

and she asked me a simple little question.

un uzdeva man ļoti vienkāršu jautājumu.

She said, "What leads to success?"

Viņa jautāja: „Kas noved pie panākumiem?”

And I felt really badly,

Es sajutos ļoti slikti,

because I couldn't give her a good answer.

jo nespēju viņai sniegt labu atbildi.

So I get off the plane, and I come to TED.

Es izkāpju no lidmašīnas un ierodos TED,

And I think, jeez, I'm in the middle of a room of successful people!

un nodomāju, jēziņ, es taču esmu telpā, kas pilna ar veiksmīgiem cilvēkiem!

So why don't I ask them what helped them succeed,

Kāpēc gan nepajautāt, kas palīdzēja gūt panākumus viņiem

and pass it on to kids?

un nenodot to tālāk bērniem?

So here we are, seven years, 500 interviews later,

Te nu mēs esam, septiņus gadus, 500 intervijas vēlāk,

and I'm going to tell you what really leads to success

un es tūlīt pateikšu, kas patiešām noved pie panākumiem,

and makes TEDsters tick.

un dzen uz priekšu TEDerus.

And the first thing is passion.

Pirmais ir aizrautība.

Freeman Thomas says, "I'm driven by my passion."

Frīmens Tomass teica: „Mani dzen uz priekšu aizrautība.”

TEDsters do it for love; they don't do it for money.

TEDeri dara to prieka, nevis naudas dēļ.

Carol Coletta says, "I would pay someone to do what I do."

Kerola Koleta saka: „Es otram maksātu, lai viņš darītu to, ko daru es.”

And the interesting thing is:

Interesanti ir tas,

if you do it for love, the money comes anyway.

ka darot to prieka pēc, nauda nāk pati pa sevi.

Work! Rupert Murdoch said to me, "It's all hard work.

Darbs! Ruperts Mēdoks man teica: „Tas viss ir smags darbs.

Nothing comes easily. But I have a lot of fun."

Nekas nenāk viegli, taču man vismaz iet ļoti jautri.”

Did he say fun? Rupert? Yes!

Vai viņš teica „jautri”? Ruperts? Jā!

(Laughter)

(Smiekli)

TEDsters do have fun working. And they work hard.

TEDeri tiešām izbauda strādāšanu, un viņi arī strādā uzcītīgi.

I figured, they're not workaholics. They're workafrolics.

Es sapratu, viņi nav darbaholiķi. Viņi ir darbamīļi.

(Laughter)

(Smiekli)

Good!

Labs!

(Applause)

(Aplausi)

Alex Garden says, "To be successful, put your nose down in something

Alekss Gārdens saka: „Lai gūtu panākumus, ierocieties kaut kur,

and get damn good at it."

un kļūstiet tajā sasodīti labs.”

There's no magic; it's practice, practice, practice.

Brīnumi nenotiek, tas viss ir treniņš, treniņš, treniņš.

And it's focus.

Un koncentrēšanās.

Norman Jewison said to me,

Normens Džuisons man teica:

"I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing."

„Manuprāt, visa pamatā ir koncentrēšanās uz vienu lietu.”

And push!

Un piespied sevi!

David Gallo says, "Push yourself.

Deivids Galo saka: „Piespied sevi.

Physically, mentally, you've got to push, push, push."

Fiziski un garīgi, tev ir sevi jāpiespiež, jāpiespiež.”

You've got to push through shyness and self-doubt.

Tev jātiek galā ar kautrību un šaubām par sevi.

Goldie Hawn says, "I always had self-doubts.

Goldijs Hauns saka: „Es vienmēr šaubījos par sevi.

I wasn't good enough; I wasn't smart enough.

Es nebiju gana labs, es nebiju gana gudrs.

I didn't think I'd make it."

Es nedomāju, ka man izdosies.”

Now it's not always easy to push yourself,

Ne vienmēr ir viegli sevi piespiest ko izdarīt,

and that's why they invented mothers.

un tādēļ ir izgudrota tāda lieta kā mātes.

(Laughter)

(Smiekli) (Aplausi)

(Applause)

Frank Gehry said to me,

Frenks Gerijs man teica:

"My mother pushed me."

„Mani piespieda māte.”

(Laughter)

(Smiekli)

Serve!

Kalpojiet!

Sherwin Nuland says, "It was a privilege to serve as a doctor."

Šervins Nūlands saka: „Man ir bijis tas gods kalpot kā ārstam.”

A lot of kids want to be millionaires.

Daudzi bērni grib būt miljonāri.

The first thing I say is:

Pirmais, ko viņiem saku ir:

"OK, well you can't serve yourself;

„Labi, bet tu nevari kalpot sev,

you've got to serve others something of value.

tev jākalpo citiem, sniedzot kaut ko vērtīgu,

Because that's the way people really get rich."

jo tieši tā cilvēki kļūst bagāti.”

Ideas!

Idejas!

TEDster Bill Gates says, "I had an idea:

TEDers Bils Geitss saka: „Man bija doma:

founding the first micro-computer software company."

nodibināt pirmo mikrodatoru programmatūras kompāniju.”

I'd say it was a pretty good idea.

Jāsaka, tā bija diezgan laba doma.

And there's no magic to creativity in coming up with ideas --

Radošums un ideju radīšana nav nekāda burvju māksla,

it's just doing some very simple things.

tā ir ļoti vienkāršu lietu darīšana.

And I give lots of evidence.

Es minu daudzus piemērus.

Persist!

Neatlaidieties!

Joe Kraus says,

Džo Krauss saka:

"Persistence is the number one reason for our success."

„Neatlaidība ir galvenais mūsu panākumu iemesls.”

You've got to persist through failure. You've got to persist through crap!

Jums jābūt neatlaidīgam par spīti neveiksmēm, neskatoties ne uz ko,

Which of course means "Criticism, Rejection, Assholes and Pressure."

kas, protams, nozīmē ignorēt kritiku, atraidījumu, kretīnus un spiedienu.

(Laughter)

(Smiekli)

So, the answer to this question is simple:

Tāpēc atbilde uz šo jautājumu ir vienkārša:

Pay 4,000 bucks and come to TED.

Samaksājiet 4 000 zaļos un nāciet uz TED.

(Laughter)

(Smiekli)

Or failing that, do the eight things -- and trust me,

Vai, ja nē, dariet šīs 8 lietas, un ticiet man,

these are the big eight things that lead to success.

šīs ir tās lielās astoņas lietas, kas noved pie panākumiem.

Thank you TEDsters for all your interviews!

Paldies jums, TEDeri, par jūsu intervijām!

(Applause)
