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

Translator: Ales Rosina Reviewer:

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

To je pravzaprav dvourna predstavitev, ki sem jo pripravil za študente,

cut down to three minutes.

skrajšana na tri minute.

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

Vse se je začelo nekega dne na letalu proti TEDu

seven years ago.

sedem let nazaj.

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

Poleg mene je sedela

dijakinja, najstnica,

and she came from a really poor family.

ki je prihajala iz zelo revne družine.

And she wanted to make something of her life,

Hotela je narediti nekaj iz sebe,

and she asked me a simple little question.

zato me je vprašala preprosto vprašanje:

"Kaj je pot do uspeha?"

She said, "What leads to success?"

Počutil sem se nelagodno,

And I felt really badly,

because I couldn't give her a good answer.

ker ji nisem mogel odgovoriti na vprašanje.

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

No, tako sem izstopil iz letala in prišel na TED.

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

Razmišljal sem, saj sem vendar v družbi uspešnih ljudi!

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

Zakaj ne bi njih vprašal, kaj jim je pomagalo na poti do uspeha,

and pass it on to kids?

in to znanje razdelil otrokom?

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

In tako se znajdemo tukaj, sedem let in 500 intervjujev kasneje,

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

kjer bom tudi vam povedal, kaj zares pripelje do uspeha

and makes TEDsters tick.

in naredi TED-ljudi izjemne.

And the first thing is passion.

Prva stvar je strast.

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

Freeman Thomas je rekel: "Strast je moje gonilo."

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

TED-ljudje delajo z ljubeznijo, ne zaradi denarja.

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

Carol Coletta je rekla: "Plačala bi nekomu, da bi lahko delala, kar delam."

And the interesting thing is:

Najbolj zanimivo je to, da

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

če delaš z ljubeznijo, denar pride sam od sebe.

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

Delo! Rupert Murdoch mi je povedal: "Vse je težko delo.

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

Nič ne pride samo od sebe. Ampak sem se pa zelo zabaval."

Je rekel, da se je zabaval? Rupert? Da, res je!

Did he say fun? Rupert? Yes!

(Laughter)

TED-ljudje se zabavajo ob delu. In opravljajo težko delo.

TEDsters do have fun working. And they work hard.

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

Ugotovil sem, da niso deloholiki. Ti ljudje uživajo v delu.

(Laughter)

Good!

Dobro! Alex Garden je rekel: "Če hočeš biti uspešen, se specializiraj

(Applause)

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

and get damn good at it."

in postani prekleto dober v tem."

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

Tu ni nobenega čudeža, samo vaja, vaja, vaja.

And it's focus.

Osredotoči se. Norman Jewison mi je rekel:

Norman Jewison said to me,

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

"Mislim, da se vse vrti okoli osredotočanja na eno stvar."

And push!

Premagaj samega sebe! David Gallo pravi: "Trudi se.

David Gallo says, "Push yourself.

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

Fizično, pshično. Moraš se potruditi, potruditi in še enkrat potruditi."

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

Moraš premagati sramežljivost in dvom vase.

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

Goldie Hawn pravi: "Vedno sem dvomila vase.

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

Nisem bila dovolj dober. Nisem bila dovolj dobra.

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

Nisem mislila, da mi bo uselo."

Now it's not always easy to push yourself,

Ni vedno lahko se premagati,

and that's why they invented mothers.

ampak zato so izumili matere.

(Laughter)

(Applause)

Frank Gehry said to me,

Frank Gehry -- Frank Gehry mi je rekel:

"My mother pushed me."

"Moja mama me je spodbujala."

(Laughter)

Serve!

Bodi ustrežljiv! Sherwin Nuland pravi: "Zame je privilegij delati kot zdravnik."

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

Veliko otrok mi pravi, zakaj bi radi bili miljonarji.

A lot of kids want to be millionaires.

The first thing I say is:

In prva stvar, ki jo rečem je:

"OK, well you can't serve yourself;

"OK, ne moreš biti ustrežljiv sam sebi,

you've got to serve others something of value.

moraš drugim postreči z nečim, kar ima vrednost.

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

Kajti le tako ljudje obogatijo."

Ideas!

Ideje. Bill Gates pravi: "Imel sem idejo,

TEDster Bill Gates says, "I had an idea:

founding the first micro-computer software company."

da ustanovim prvo podjetje, ki izdeluje programsko opremo za mikroračunalnike."

I'd say it was a pretty good idea.

Mislim, da je to bila kar dobra ideja.

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

In tu ni nobenega čudeža pri izmišljanju novih idej,

it's just doing some very simple things.

samo delaj preproste stvari.

And I give lots of evidence.

In pokazal sem veliko dokazov.

Persist!

Vztrajaj. Joe Kraust pravi:

Joe Kraus says,

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

"Vztrajnost je številka ena našega uspeha."

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

Moraš vztrajati tudi ob padcih. Moraš vztrajati!

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

Kar seveda pomeni "kritike, zavrnitve, kretene in pritiske".

(Laughter)

(smeh)

So, the answer to this question is simple:

Torej, odgovor na to vprašanje je tudi preprost:

Pay 4,000 bucks and come to TED.

Plačaj 4000 dolarjev in pridi na TED.

(Laughter)

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

Če ti to ne uspe, naredi teh osem stvari - in verjemite mi,

these are the big eight things that lead to success.

to je osem velikih stvari, ki pripeljejo do uspeha.

Thank you TEDsters for all your interviews!

Hvala vsem TEDovcem za intervjuje!

(Applause)
