Less stuff, more happiness | Graham Hill

What's in the box?

Apakah isi kotak ini?

Whatever it is must be pretty important,

Apapun ia, pasti ia penting,

because I've traveled with it, moved it,

sebab saya telah mengembara bersamanya,

memindahkannya dari pangsapuri ke pangsapuri.

from apartment to apartment to apartment.

(Laughter)

(Ketawa)

(Applause)

(Tepukan)

Sound familiar?

Biasa alami?

Did you know that we Americans

Tahukah anda bahawa kita rakyat Amerika

have about three times the amount of space

memiliki tiga kali ganda ruang yang dimiliki

we did 50 years ago?

berbanding 50 tahun lalu?

Three times.

Tiga kali ganda.

So you'd think, with all this extra space,

Tentu anda fikir dengan lebihan ruang,

we'd have plenty of room for all our stuff.

pasti ada cukup ruang untuk menyimpan barang, bukan?

Nope.

Tidak.

There's a new industry in town,

Ada satu industri baru

bernilai USD 22 bilion, seluas 2.2 bilion kaki²:

a 22 billion-dollar, 2.2 billion sq. ft. industry:

that of personal storage.

Yakni industri ruang simpanan peribadi.

So we've got triple the space,

Walaupun ruang tiga kali ganda lebih besar,

but we've become such good shoppers

kita semakin boros berbelanja

that we need even more space.

sehingga memerlukan lebih banyak ruang simpanan.

So where does this lead?

Ke manakah hala tuju kita?

Lots of credit card debt,

Lambakan hutang kad kredit,

huge environmental footprints,

pencemaran alam sekitar

and perhaps not coincidentally,

dan mungkin juga secara tak langsung,

our happiness levels flat-lined over the same 50 years.

tahap kebahagiaan kita mendatar sejak 50 tahun lalu.

Well I'm here to suggest there's a better way,

Saya ada pandangan yang lebih bernas,

that less might actually equal more.

bahawa sedikit mungkin bermakna banyak.

I bet most of us have experienced at some point

Saya yakin ramai pernah menikmati

the joys of less:

nikmat kesederhanaan:

college -- in your dorm,

kolej -- di bilik kamu,

traveling -- in a hotel room,

kembara -- di bilik hotel,

camping -- rig up basically nothing,

berkhemah -- walau kurang kelengkapan,

maybe a boat.

atau mungkin sebuah bot.

Whatever it was for you, I bet that, among other things,

Apapun pengalaman kamu,

saya yakin, ia memberi kamu sedikit kebebasan,

this gave you a little more freedom,

a little more time.

sedikit lebihan masa.

So I'm going to suggest

Saya berpendapat

that less stuff and less space

barang dan ruang yang kurang

are going to equal a smaller footprint.

bermakna jejak karbon yang sedikit.

It's actually a great way to save you some money.

Ia satu cara yang hebat untuk berjimat.

And it's going to give you a little more ease in your life.

Ia juga melegakan sedikit kehidupan kamu.

So I started a project called Life Edited at lifeedited.org

Oleh itu saya mulakan projek Life Edited

di lifeedited.org

to further this conversation

untuk meneruskan dan mencari penyelesaian untuk agenda ini.

and to find some great solutions in this area.

First up: crowd-sourcing my 420 sq. ft. apartment in Manhattan

Pertama: pendanaan pangsapuri 420 kaki² saya di Manhattan

with partners Mutopo and Jovoto.com.

dengan rakan kongsi Mutopo & Jovoto.com.

I wanted it all --

Saya mahu kesemuanya--

home office, sit down dinner for 10,

pejabat rumah, meja makan untuk 10 orang,

room for guests,

bilik tetamu

and all my kite surfing gear.

dan ruang untuk peralatan seluncur lelayang saya.

With over 300 entries from around the world,

Dengan lebih 300 penyenaraian sedunia,

I got it, my own little jewel box.

saya berjaya mendapatkan kotak permata saya sendiri.

By buying a space that was 420 sq. ft.

Dengan membeli ruang 420 kaki², dan bukan 600 kaki²,

instead of 600,

immediately I'm saving 200 grand.

saya berjaya menjimatkan 200 ribu dolar.

Smaller space is going to make for smaller utilities --

Ruang kecil tidak menggunakan tenaga yang yang banyak,

save some more money there,

jadi lebih banyak wang dapat dijimatkan.

but also a smaller footprint.

Jejak karbon juga dapat dikurangkan.

And because it's really designed

Memandangkan ia direka berpandukan barang² terpilih--

around an edited set of possessions -- my favorite stuff --

and really designed for me,

barang kesayangan saya dan direka khas untuk saya,

I'm really excited to be there.

saya teruja untuk mendiaminya.

So how can you live little?

Bagaimana caranya hidup sederhana?

Three main approaches.

Ada tiga cara utama.

First of all, you have to edit ruthlessly.

Pertama, sunting sewenangnya.

We've got to clear the arteries of our lives.

Kita perlu bersihkan arteri kehidupan kita.

And that shirt that I hadn't worn in years?

Baju yang sudah bertahun tak dipakai?

It's time for me to let it go.

Dah tiba masa untuk melepaskannya.

We've got to cut the extraneous out of our lives,

Buang perkara remeh daripada kehidupan,

and we've got to learn to stem the inflow.

kawal aliran masuk.

We need to think before we buy.

Fikir dulu sebelum beli.

Ask ourselves,

Tanya diri,

"Is that really going to make me happier? Truly?"

"Adakah barang ini benar-benar akan membahagiakan aku?"

By all means,

Memang betul kita perlu beli dan miliki

we should buy and own some great stuff.

barang yang berkualiti.

But we want stuff that we're going to love for years,

Namun hanya barang dengan manfaat jangka panjang,

not just stuff.

bukan semua barang.

Secondly, our new mantra:

Ke-2, slogan terbaru kami:

small is sexy.

sederhana itu bergaya.

We want space efficiency.

Kita mahu kecermatan ruang.

We want things that are designed

Kita mahu rekaan alat yang fungsinya kerap digunakan,

for how they're used the vast majority of the time,

not that rare event.

bukan untuk sekali-sekala saja.

Why have a six burner stove

Mengapa perlu enam tungku jika tiga pun jarang digunakan?

when you rarely use three?

So we want things that nest,

Oleh itu kita mahu barang yang boleh dilapiskan,

we want things that stack, and we want it digitized.

boleh disusun bertindan dan didigitalkan.

You can take paperwork,

Kamu boleh bawa kertas kerja, buku, filem,

books, movies,

and you can make it disappear -- it's magic.

dan kamu boleh hilangkannya seperti magik.

Finally, we want multifunctional spaces and housewares --

Akhir sekali, kita mahu ruang dan peralatan rumah berbilang fungsi:

a sink combined with a toilet,

gabungan pam tandas dan singki,

a dining table becomes a bed --

gabungan meja makan dan katil di ruang yang sama,

same space,

a little side table

meja sisi kecil boleh dipanjangkan untuk 10 orang.

stretches out to seat 10.

In the winning Life Edited scheme in a render here,

Antara reka bentuk hebat Life Edited seperti yang tertera,

we combine a moving wall with transformer furniture

kami gabungkan dinding bergerak

dengan perabot boleh ubah untuk memanfaatkan ruang.

to get a lot out of the space.

Look at the coffee table --

Lihat meja kopi itu --

it grows in height and width

ia boleh memanjang dan melebar untuk menempatkan 10 orang.

to seat 10.

My office folds away,

Pejabat saya boleh dilipat,

easily hidden.

senang disorok.

My bed just pops out of the wall with two fingers.

Katil saya boleh dikeluarkan dari dinding dengan dua jari sahaja.

Guests? Move the moving wall,

Ada tetamu? Tolak dinding mudah alih.

have some fold-down guest beds.

Turunkan katil lipat.

And of course, my own movie theater.

Tak dilupakan, pawagam.

So I'm not saying that we all need to live

Namun saya tak bermaksud kita semua perlu hidup

in 420 sq. ft.

dalam ruang 420 kaki².

But consider the benefits of an edited life.

Cuba pertimbangkan manfaat kehidupan yang disunting.

Go from 3,000 to 2,000,

Daripada 3,000 ke 2,000.

from 1,500 to 1,000.

Daripada 1,500 ke 1,000.

Most of us, maybe all of us,

Mungkin ramai yang selesa berada di sini untuk beberapa hari

are here pretty happily for a bunch of days

with a couple of bags,

dengan dua buah beg, di dalam ruang kecil seperti bilik hotel.

maybe a small space, a hotel room.

So when you go home and you walk through your front door,

Jadi tika pulang ke rumah dan melewati pintu depan,

take a second and ask yourselves,

berhenti sejenak dan tanya diri,

"Could I do with a little life editing?

"Adakah manfaat jika saya sunting hidup saya?

Would that give me a little more freedom?

Mungkinkah ia dapat beri lebih kebebasan?

Maybe a little more time?"

Mungkin ada lebihan masa?"

What's in the box?

Apakah isi kotak ini?

It doesn't really matter.

Itu tak penting.

I know I don't need it.

Saya tahu saya tak perlukannya.

What's in yours?

Apakah isi kotak kamu?

Maybe, just maybe,

Kemungkinan besar,

less might equal more.

sedikit bermakna banyak.

So let's make room

Ayuh berikan ruang kepada barang² yang bermanfaat.

for the good stuff.

Thank you.

Terima kasih.

(Applause)
