How to find work you love | Scott Dinsmore

Translator: Edvin Dolenc Reviewer: Nika Kotnik

O, kakšna čast. Vedno sem se spraševal, kako to izgleda.

Wow, what an honor. I always wondered what this would feel like.

So eight years ago, I got the worst career advice of my life.

Torej, pred osmimi leti sem dobil najslabši poklicni nasvet v življenju.

Prijatelj mi je rekel:

I had a friend tell me,

"Don't worry about how much you like the work you're doing now.

"Ne skrbi kako všeč ti je delo, ki ga opravljaš zdaj.

It's all about just building your resume."

Pomembno je samo za grajenje tvojega življenjepisa."

And I'd just come back from living in Spain for a while,

Prav takrat sem se vrnil iz Španije, kjer sem živel nekaj časa,

and I'd joined this Fortune 500 company. I thought, "This is fantastic.

in začel v podjetju Fortune 500. Mislil sem: "Super.

I'm going to have big impact on the world."

Imel bom velik vpliv na svet."

Toliko idej sem imel. Po skoraj dveh mesecih

I had all these ideas. And within about two months,

sem opazil, da imam vsako jutro približno ob 10. uri to čudno potrebo,

I noticed at about 10am every morning I had this strange urge

to want to slam my head through the monitor of my computer.

da bi z glavo udaril skozi zaslon svojega računalnika.

I don't know if anyone's ever felt that.

Ne vem, če se je kdo že kdaj tako počutil.

And I noticed pretty soon after that that all the competitors in our space

Kar kmalu po tem sem opazil, da so vsi tekmeci v našem prostoru

had already automated my job role.

že avtomatizirali vlogo mojega delovnega mesta.

And this is right about when I got this sage advice to build up my resume.

Prav v tem obdobju sem dobil ta modri nasvet o grajenju svojega življenjepisa.

Well, as I'm trying to figure out

No, medtem ko sem skušal ugotoviti,

what two-story window I'm going to jump out of and change things up,

skozi katero okno v drugem nadstropju naj skočim, da bi spremenil stvari,

sem prebral povsem drugačen nasvet Warren Buffeta, ki pravi:

I read some altogether different advice from Warren Buffett, and he said,

"Iskati službe za grajenje življenjepisa je tako kot hraniti seks za stara leta."

"Taking jobs to build up your resume is the same as saving up sex for old age."

(Laughter)

(smeh)

And I heard that, and that was all I needed.

Ko sem to slišal, sem imel vse, kar sem potreboval.

Within two weeks, I was out of there, and I left with one intention:

V dveh tednih sem zapustil to podjetje z enim samim namenom:

to find something that I could screw up. That's how tough it was.

najti nekaj, kar bi lahko zamočil. Tako težko je bilo.

I wanted to have some type of impact. It didn't matter what it was.

Hotel sem imeti nekakšen vpliv. Ni bilo važno kakšen.

In zelo hitro sem odkril, da nisem sam:

And I found pretty quickly that I wasn't alone:

it turns out that over 80 percent of the people around

več kot 80 odstotkov ljudi

ne uživa v svojem delu.

don't enjoy their work.

I'm guessing this room is different,

Domnevam, da je med vami tu drugače,

but that's the average that Deloitte has done with their studies.

ampak to je povprečje študije Deloitte.

So I wanted to find out, what is it that sets these people apart,

Zato sem želel izvedeti, kaj je tisto, kar ločuje te ljudi,

the people who do the passionate, world-changing work,

ki opravljajo strastno delo, spreminjajo svet,

that wake up inspired every day,

ki se zbujajo navdahnjeni vsak dan,

and then these people, the other 80 percent

od ostalih 80 odstotkov ljudi,

who lead these lives of quiet desperation.

ki živijo nekakšna življenja v tihem obupu.

So I started to interview all these people doing this inspiring work,

Začel sem intervjuvati ljudi, ki delajo navdihujoče delo,

and I read books and did case studies,

prebiral sem tudi knjige in naredil študije,

300 books altogether on purpose and career and all this,

skupaj 300 knjig o namenu in karieri in vsem tem.

totally just self-immersion, really for the selfish reason of --

Popolnoma sem se zatopil v to, res, s sebičnim namenom, da bi -

želel sem najti delo, ki ga ne bi mogel ne opravljati,

I wanted to find the work that I couldn't not do,

what that was for me.

kaj bi to pomenilo zame.

But as I was doing this, more and more people started to ask me,

Ko sem to počel, me je več ljudi spraševalo:

"You're into this career thing.

"Ti se spoznaš na te kariere.

I don't like my job. Can we sit down for lunch?"

Ne maram svojega dela. Se lahko dobiva na kosilu?"

I'd say, "Sure." But I would have to warn them,

"Seveda." A moral bi jih opozoriti,

because at this point, my quit rate was also 80 percent.

saj sem na tej točki tudi sam odnehal v 80 odstotkih.

Of the people I'd sit down with for lunch, 80 percent would quit their job

Od ljudi, s katerimi sem kosil, jih je 80 % dalo odpoved

v roku dveh mesecev.

within two months.

I was proud of this, and it wasn't that I had any special magic.

Na to sem bil ponosen, pa nisem obvladal nikakršne posebne čarovnije.

It was that I would ask one simple question.

Šlo je za preprosto vprašanje, ki sem ga vedno zastavil.

It was, "Why are you doing the work that you're doing?"

Glasilo se je tako: "Zakaj opravljaš to delo?"

And so often their answer would be,

In njihov odgovor je pogosto bil:

"Well, because somebody told me I'm supposed to."

"No, ker mi je nekdo rekel, da moram."

And I realized that so many people around us

Tako sem spoznal, da se ogromno ljudi okoli nas

are climbing their way up this ladder that someone tells them to climb,

vzpenja po lestvi, na katero jim je nekdo rekel, naj se vzpnejo,

and it ends up being leaned up against the wrong wall,

in se konča naslonjena na napačni steni

ali pa sploh nobeni.

or no wall at all.

The more time I spent around these people and saw this problem,

Dlje kot sem bil s temi ljudmi in uvidel problem -

I thought, what if we could create a community,

pomislil sem, kako bi ustvarili skupnost,

mesto, kjer bi se ljudje počutili doma,

a place where people could feel like they belonged

in, kjer bi lahko delali stvari drugače,

and that it was OK to do things differently,

to take the road less traveled, where that was encouraged,

izbrali manj prehojeno pot, kjer bi to spodbujali

and inspire people to change?

in navdihnili ljudi, da se spremenijo?

And that later became what I now call Live Your Legend,

Zamisel se je razvila v kar imenujem Živi svojo legendo,

which I'll explain in a little bit.

kar bom predstavil v kratkem.

But as I've made these discoveries, I noticed a framework

Ko pa sem to odkrival, sem opazil okvir

treh res preprostih stvari,

of really three simple things

that all these different passionate world-changers have in common,

ki so skupne vsem tem strastnim oblikovalcem sveta,

whether you're a Steve Jobs or if you're just, you know,

bodisi, da ste Steve Jobs ali pa samo, saj veste,

the person that has the bakery down the street.

oseba, ki ima pekarno na vaši ulici.

But you're doing work that embodies who you are.

Ampak opravljate delo, ki vas pooseblja.

I want to share those three with you, so we can use them as a lens

Te tri bi delil z vami, da jih uporabimo kot objektiv

for the rest of today and hopefully the rest of our life.

za preostanek dneva in, upajmo, za preostanek življenja.

The first part of this three-step passionate work framework

Prvi korak tega tristopenjskega okvira strastnega dela

is becoming a self-expert and understanding yourself,

zahteva, da postanete samostrokovnjak in razumete sebe.

because if you don't know what you're looking for,

Kajti če ne veste, kaj iščete,

you're never going to find it.

tega nikoli ne boste našli.

And the thing is that no one is going to do this for us.

In tega ne bo nihče naredil namesto nas.

There's no major in university on passion and purpose and career.

Magisterij iz strasti, namena in kariere ne obstaja na nobeni univerzi.

I don't know how that's not a required double major,

Zakaj to ni obvezni dvopredmetni magisterij?

but don't even get me started on that.

Ampak o tem niti ne bom razpravljal.

I mean, you spend more time picking out a dorm room TV set

Več časa porabite pri izbiri TV-ja za vašo študentsko sobo

than you do you picking your major and your area of study.

kot pa pri izbiri vašega magisterija in področja študija.

But the point is, it's on us to figure that out,

A dejansko je od nas odvisno, za kaj se bomo odločili.

and we need a framework, we need a way to navigate through this.

Zato potrebujemo okvir, način za navigacijo skozi to.

And so the first step of our compass is finding out what our unique strengths are.

Zato moramo za naš kompas prvo ugotoviti, katere so naše edinstvene vrline.

What are the things that we wake up loving to do no matter what,

Kaj je tisto, zaradi česar z veseljem vstanemo,

pa če smo plačani ali ne, tisto, za kar se nam ljudje hvaležni?

whether we're paid or we're not paid, the things that people thank us for?

Iskalnik prednosti 2.0 je knjiga in tudi spletno orodje.

And the Strengths Finder 2.0 is a book and also an online tool.

I highly recommend it for sorting out what it is that you're naturally good at.

Toplo jo priporočam za razvrščanje stvari, pri katerih ste že po naravi dobri.

And next, what's our framework or our hierarchy for making decisions?

Vprašajmo se, kaj je naš okvir ali hierarhija pri sprejemanju odločitev?

Nas skrbi za ljudi, našo družino, zdravje,

Do we care about the people, our family, health,

or is it achievement, success, all this stuff?

ali samo za dosežke, uspeh in podobno?

We have to figure out what it is to make these decisions,

Ugotoviti moramo, kaj pomeni sprejeti take odločitve,

so we know what our soul is made of,

šele potem vemo, kakšni smo po duši,

so that we don't go selling it to some cause we don't give a shit about.

da je ne prodamo namenu, za katerega nas sploh ne briga.

And then the next step is our experiences.

Naslednji korak so naše izkušnje.

All of us have these experiences. We learn things every day, every minute

Vsi imamo izkušnje. Vsak dan in vsako minuto se učimo,

about what we love, what we hate,

kaj imamo radi, kaj sovražimo,

v čem smo dobri in v čem obupni.

what we're good at, what we're terrible at.

And if we don't spend time paying attention to that

In če temu ne posvečamo pozornosti,

ne osvajamo tega znanja

and assimilating that learning

and applying it to the rest of our lives, it's all for nothing.

in ga ne uporabljamo skozi življenje, potem je vse zaman.

Every day, every week, every month of every year

Vsak dan, vsak teden, vsak mesec vsakega leta

preživim nekaj časa samo v razmišljanju, kaj je šlo v redu,

I spend some time just reflecting on what went right,

what went wrong, and what do I want to repeat,

kaj je šlo narobe in kaj hočem ponoviti

what can I apply more to my life.

in kaj lahko vključim v svoj vsakdan.

And even more so than that, as you see people, especially today,

In to še posebej, ko vidite ljudi, sploh danes,

who inspire you, who are doing things where you say

ki vas navdihujejo in počnejo stvari, ob katerih rečete:

"Oh God, what Jeff is doing, I want to be like him."

O moj Bog, to kar počne Jeff, hočem biti kot on.

Why are you saying that? Open up a journal.

Zakaj to pravite? Pišite si v dnevnik.

Write down what it is about them that inspires you.

Zapišite si, kaj vas pri njih navdihuje.

It's not going to be everything about their life,

Nikar ne vključite vsega njihovega življenja,

but whatever it is, take note on that,

ampak si zapišite le tisto, kar vas pritegne,

so over time we'll have this repository of things

tako bomo sčasoma imeli zalogo stvari,

that we can use to apply to our life and have a more passionate existence

ki jih lahko vpeljemo v naš vsakdan in nam omogočijo strastnejše življenje

in večji vpliv.

and make a better impact.

Because when we start to put these things together,

Saj ko začnemo z zbiranjem teh stvari,

we can then define what success actually means to us,

potem lahko definiramo, kaj nam uspeh dejansko pomeni,

a brez vseh različnih delov kompasa je to nemogoče.

and without these different parts of the compass, it's impossible.

We end up in the situation -- we have that scripted life

Znajdemo se v situaciji - živimo to zrežirano življenje,

that everybody seems to be living going up this ladder to nowhere.

ki ga očitno vsi preživijo v vzpenjanju po lestvi gor do ničesar.

It's kind of like in Wall Street 2, if anybody saw that,

To je nekako kot v filmu Wall Street 2, kdor ga je gledal,

the peon employee asks the big Wall Street banker CEO,

kjer novinec vpraša direktorja in pomembnega bankirja Wall Streeta:

"Kakšna je vaša številka? Vsak ima številko,

"What's your number? Everyone's got a number,

where if they make this money, they'll leave it all."

pri kateri se bo ustavil, ko jo doseže."

He says, "Oh, it's simple. More."

On odgovori: "Oh, to je preprosto. Več."

In se samo nasmehne.

And he just smiles.

And it's the sad state of most of the people

In to je žalostno stanje večine ljudi,

that haven't spent time understanding what matters for them,

ki ne vedo, kaj je zanje pomembno,

who keep reaching for something that doesn't mean anything to us,

saj nenehno segajo po nečem, kar nam ne pomeni nič,

but we're doing it because everyone said we're supposed to.

vendar to počnemo zato, ker pravijo, da moramo.

Vendar, ko enkrat sestavimo ta okvir,

But once we have this framework together,

we can start to identify the things that make us come alive.

lahko začnemo prepoznavati stvari, ki nas oživljajo.

You know, before this, a passion could come and hit you in the face,

Pred tem je strast lahko prišla in vas udarila v obraz,

or maybe in your possible line of work, you might throw it away

ali morda pri vaši potencialni vrsti dela, vi pa ste jo mogoče zavrgli,

because you don't have a way of identifying it.

ker niste vedeli, kako bi jo prepoznali.

But once you do, you can see something that's congruent with my strengths,

A ko izveste, lahko vidite nekaj skladnega z vašimi vrlinami,

vašimi vrednotami, s tem, kdo ste kot oseba

my values, who I am as a person,

zato zgrabite to, storite nekaj s tem

so I'm going to grab ahold of this, I'm going to do something with it,

in stremite k temu ter skušajte vplivati s pomočjo tega.

and I'm going to pursue it and try to make an impact with it.

Živi svojo legendo in gibanje, ki smo ga začeli,

And Live Your Legend and the movement we've built

wouldn't exist if I didn't have this compass to identify,

ne bi obstajala, če ne bi imel kompasa, s katerim sem ugotovil:

"Wow, this is something I want to pursue and make a difference with."

"To je nekaj, k čemu želim stremeti in vplivati na svet."

If we don't know what we're looking for, we're never going to find it,

Če ne vemo, kaj iščemo, tega ne bomo nikoli našli.

but once we have this framework, this compass,

Ko pa imamo ta okvir, kompas,

potem lahko naredimo naslednji korak - in tisto zgoraj nisem jaz -

then we can move on to what's next -- and that's not me up there --

narediti nemogoče in premakniti naše meje.

doing the impossible and pushing our limits.

Obstajata dva razloga, zakaj ljudje ne počnejo stvari.

There's two reasons why people don't do things.

One is they tell themselves they can't do them,

Prvič, prepričajo se, da ne zmorejo,

or people around them tell them they can't do them.

ali pa jim to dopovejo drugi.

Either way, we start to believe it.

Kakorkoli že, to začnemo verjeti.

Either we give up, or we never start in the first place.

Ali obupamo, ali pa nečesa sploh nikoli ne začnemo.

The things is, everything was impossible until somebody did it.

Vse je bilo nemogoče, dokler ni tega nekdo storil.

Every invention, every new thing in the world,

Vsak izum, vsako novo stvar na svetu

people thought were crazy at first.

so sprva imeli za noro.

Roger Bannister and the four-minute mile, it was a physical impossibility

Roger Bannister in štiriminutna milja, fizično je bilo nemogoče

to break the four-minute mile in a foot race

preteči miljo v štirih minutah,

dokler se Roger Bannister ni opogumil in to storil.

until Roger Bannister stood up and did it.

In kaj je bilo potem?

And then what happened?

Dva meseca kasneje je 16 ljudi preteklo štiriminutno miljo.

Two months later, 16 people broke the four-minute mile.

Stvari v naši glavi, ki jih imamo za nemogoče,

The things that we have in our head that we think are impossible

so pogosto le mejniki, ki čakajo, da jih dosežemo,

are often just milestones waiting to be accomplished

if we can push those limits a bit.

če samo malo premaknemo meje.

And I think this starts with probably your physical body and fitness

In mislim, da se to verjetno začne z vašim fizičnim telesom in fitnesom,

more than anything, because we can control that.

bolj kot karkoli, saj to lahko nadziramo.

If you don't think you can run a mile,

Če ne zmorete preteči milje,

si dokažite, da lahko tudi dve

you show yourself you can run a mile or two,

ali maraton, ali izgubite dva kilograma, ali karkoli že je,

or a marathon, or lose five pounds, or whatever it is,

Zaveste se, da se samozavest sestavlja

you realize that confidence compounds

in se lahko prenese v preostanek vašega sveta.

and can be transferred into the rest of your world.

And I've actually gotten into the habit of this a little bit with my friends.

In s prijatelji smo se že kar malo navadili na to.

We have this little group. We go on physical adventures,

Imamo to majhno skupino. Skupaj hodimo na pustolovščine,

and recently, I found myself in a kind of precarious spot.

in pred kratkim sem se znašel v nekakšnem negotovem položaju.

I'm terrified of deep, dark, blue water.

Bojim se globoke, temne, modre vode.

I don't know if anyone's ever had that same fear

Ne vem, če ima še kdo tak strah,

ever since they watched Jaws 1, 2, 3 and 4 like six times

odkar je gledal film Čeljusti 1, 2, 3 in 4 približno šestkrat

when I was a kid.

kot jaz v otroštvu.

But anything above here, if it's murky, I can already feel it right now.

Ampak vse, kar je višje od tega, če je motno, že čutim to prav zdaj.

Prisežem, da je nekaj tam.

I swear there's something in there.

Even if it's Lake Tahoe, it's fresh water, totally unfounded fear,

Tudi če je jezero Tahoe, sladka voda, kjer je strah povsem neutemeljen,

ridiculous, but it's there.

je neumno, ampak je prisoten.

Anyway, three years ago I find myself on this tugboat

No, pred tremi leti sem bil na vlačilcu

right down here in the San Francisco Bay.

prav tu v zalivu San Francisco.

Bil je deževen, nevihten, vetroven dan, ljudem je bilo slabo na čolnu

It's a rainy, stormy, windy day, and people are getting sick on the boat,

and I'm sitting there wearing a wetsuit, and I'm looking out the window

in tam sem sedel v potapljaški obleki in gledal skozi okno

čisto zgrožen ter razmišljal, da bom zaplaval v svojo smrt.

in pure terror thinking I'm about to swim to my death.

I'm going to try to swim across the Golden Gate.

Namenil sem se preplavati ožino Golden Gate.

And my guess is some people in this room might have done that before.

Domnevam, da so nekateri ljudje v tem prostoru to že storili.

I'm sitting there, and my buddy Jonathan, who had talked me into it,

Sedel sem tam in kolega Jonathan, pobudnik,

he comes up to me and he could see the state I was in.

je prišel do mene in opazil, v kakšnem stanju sem bil.

And he says, "Scott, hey man, what's the worst that could happen?

Rekel je: "Scott, stari, kaj se sploh lahko zgodi?

You're wearing a wetsuit. You're not going to sink.

Imaš potapljaško obleko. Ne boš utonil.

And If you can't make it, just hop on one of the 20 kayaks.

In če ne boš zmogel, samo skoči na enega od 20 kajakov.

Plus, if there's a shark attack, why are they going to pick you

Če pa napade morski pes, zakaj bi izbral tebe

izmed več kot 80 plavalcev?" Hvala, to zelo pomaga.

over the 80 people in the water?" So thanks, that helps.

He's like, "But really, just have fun with this. Good luck."

Dodal je še: "Zares, samo uživaj. Srečno."

And he dives in, swims off. OK.

Potem je skočil v vodo in odplaval. V redu.

Turns out, the pep talk totally worked, and I felt this total feeling of calm,

Izgleda, da je motivacijski govor res pomagal, imel sem občutek popolnega miru.

and I think it was because Jonathan was 13 years old.

Verjetno zato, ker je imel Jonathan 13 let.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

And of the 80 people swimming that day,

Od 80 ljudi, ki so plavali ta dan,

65 of them were between the ages of nine and 13.

jih je bilo 65 starih med 9 in 13 let.

Think how you would have approached your world differently

Pomislite, kakšen bi bil vaš pristop do sveta,

če bi pri devetih letih ugotovili, da lahko preplavate miljo in pol

if at nine years old you found out you could swim a mile and a half

in 56-degree water from Alcatraz to San Francisco.

od Alcatraza do San Francisca v vodi s trinajstimi stopinjami.

What would you have said yes to?

Čemu bi rekli "da"?

What would you have not given up on? What would you have tried?

Nad čim ne bi obupali? Kaj bi poskusili?

Proti koncu plavanja sem prišel k Vodnemu parku

As I'm finishing this swim, I get to Aquatic Park,

and I'm getting out of the water

in potem prilezel iz vode.

and of course half the kids are already finished,

Seveda je pol otrok že končalo,

so they're cheering me on and they're all excited.

zato so vsi navdušeni navijali zame.

Če je že kdo kdaj plaval v Zalivu, ve, da sem imel zmrznjeno glavo.

And I got total popsicle head, if anyone's ever swam in the Bay,

and I'm trying to just thaw my face out, and I'm watching people finish.

Skušal sem odtaliti obraz in gledal ljudi, ki so zaključevali.

And I see this one kid, something didn't look right.

Takrat zagledam otroka. Nekaj ni bilo v redu.

And he's just flailing like this.

Samo mahal je z rokami.

And he's barely able to sip some air before he slams his head back down.

Komaj je vdihnil malo zraka, že je zopet sunil z glavo pod vodo.

And I notice other parents were watching too,

Opazil sem, da to spremljajo tudi drugi starši.

and I swear they were thinking the same thing I was:

Prisežem, da so mislili enako:

"Zato devetletnikom ne dovoliš plavati od Alcatraza."

this is why you don't let nine-year-olds swim from Alcatraz.

To ni bila utrujenost.

This was not fatigue.

All of a sudden, two parents run up and grab him,

Naenkrat sta dva starša stekla k njemu, ga zgrabila

and they put him on their shoulders, and they're dragging him like this,

in ga dala na svoja ramena. Nekako vlekla sta ga,

povsem slabotnega.

totally limp.

And then all of a sudden they walk a few more feet

Hodili so nekaj metrov,

and they plop him down in his wheelchair.

in ga položila na njegov invalidski voziček.

And he puts his fists up in the most insane show of victory I've ever seen.

On pa je dvignil svoje pesti v najbolj norem izrazu zmage.

Še vedno čutim toploto in energijo tega fanta,

I can still feel the warmth and the energy on this guy

when he made this accomplishment.

ki mu je uspel ta podvig.

I had seen him earlier that day in his wheelchair.

Že prej ta dan sem ga videl v invalidskem vozičku.

I just had no idea he was going to swim.

Vendar nisem vedel, da bo šel plavat.

I mean, where is he going to be in 20 years?

Pomislite, kje bo čez 20 let?

How many people told him he couldn't do that, that he would die if he tried that?

Koliko ljudi je reklo, da tega ne zmore, da bo umrl, če poskusi?

Ljudem dokažete, da so se motili. In sebi,

You prove people wrong, you prove yourself wrong,

da lahko naredite majhne postopne potiske

that you can make little incremental pushes

of what you believe is possible.

za to kar veste, da je mogoče.

You don't have to be the fastest marathoner in the world,

Ni vam treba biti najhitrejši maratonec na svetu,

ampak le v okviru svojih nemogočih omejitev. Da te presežete,

just your own impossibilities, to accomplish those,

and it starts with little bitty steps.

morate začeti z majcenimi koraki.

And the best way to do this

Najboljši način za to pa je,

is to surround yourself with passionate people.

da se obdate z vnetimi ljudmi.

The fastest things to do things you don't think can be done

Nemogoče najhitreje premagate tako,

is to surround yourself with people already doing them.

da se obdate z ljudmi, ki to že delajo.

Naj omenim citat Jima Rohna, ki pravi:

There's this quote by Jim Rohn and it says.

"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."

"Ste povprečje petih ljudi, s katerimi preživite največ časa."

V zgodovini sveta ni boljšega trika za premik,

And there is no bigger lifehack in the history of the world

from getting where you are today to where you want to be

od koder ste trenutno, do tam, kjer bi radi bili,

than the people you choose to put in your corner.

kot ljudje, ki jih zberete okoli sebe.

They change everything, and it's a proven fact.

Ti spremenijo vse in to je dokazano dejstvo.

In 1898, Norman Triplett did this study with a bunch of cyclists,

Leta 1898 je Norman Triplett opravil študijo s kupom kolesarjev.

and he would measure their times around the track in a group,

Meril je njihov čas na stezi v skupini

in tudi posamezno.

and also individually.

And he found that every time the cyclists in the group would cycle faster.

Vsakič je dokazal, da so kolesarji v skupini vozili hitreje.

And it's been repeated in all kinds of walks of life since then,

Od takrat se to ponavlja v vseh družbenih slojih in poklicih

and it proves the same thing over again,

in vedno znova dokazuje isto:

that the people around you matter, and environment is everything.

ljudje okoli vas so pomembni in okolje pomeni vse.

But it's on you to control it, because it can go both ways.

A vi morate obvladati okolje, to deluje v obe smeri.

With 80 percent of people who don't like the work they do,

80 odstotkov ljudi ne mara svojega dela.

that means most people around us, not in this room, but everywhere else,

To pomeni večina okoli nas, ne tukaj, ampak povsod drugje.

are encouraging complacency and keeping us from pursuing the things that matter to us

Spodbujajo sprijaznitev in preprečujejo, da bi sledili pomembnim stvarem,

zato moramo obvladovati tako okolje.

so we have to manage those surroundings.

I found myself in this situation --

V taki situaciji sem se znašel -

personal example, a couple years ago.

to je osebna izkušnja izpred par let.

Has anyone ever had a hobby or a passion they poured their heart and soul into,

Je že kdo imel kdaj hobi ali strast, v katero ste vlili svoje srce in dušo,

unbelievable amount of time, and they so badly want to call it a business,

res veliko časa, in si to tako želeli spremeniti v posel,

vendar temu nihče ni posvečal pozornosti in zamisel ni ustvarjala dobička?

but no one's paying attention and it doesn't make a dime?

OK, I was there for four years trying to build this Live Your Legend movement

Ok, štiri leta sem se trudil začeti gibanje Živi svojo legendo,

to help people do work that they genuinely cared about and that inspired them,

da bi pomagal ljudem delati delo, ki jih res zanima in navdihuje.

and I was doing all I could,

Delal sem vse, kar sem lahko,

and there were only three people paying attention,

in samo tri osebe so bile pozorne.

and they're all right there: my mother, father and my wife, Chelsea.

Vsi so tam zadaj: moja mati, oče in moja žena, Chelsea.

Thank you guys for the support.

Hvala vam za podporo.

(aplavz)

(Applause)

And this is how badly I wanted it, it grew at zero percent for four years,

Tako zelo sem si to želel, gibanje pa je imelo ničodstotno rast štiri leta.

and I was about to shut it down,

Nameraval sem že zaključiti projekt,

and right about then,

a sem se prav takrat

I moved to San Francisco and started to meet some pretty interesting people

preselil v San Francisco in spoznal nekaj precej zanimivih ljudi,

who had these crazy lifestyles of adventure,

ki so imeli nore življenjske stile, polne avantur,

poslov, spletnih strani in blogov,

of businesses and websites and blogs

ki so obdajali njihove strasti in zares pomagali ljudem.

that surrounded their passions and helped people in a meaningful way.

Eden od mojih prijateljev ima družino z osmimi člani

And one of my friends, now, he has a family of eight,

in podpira celo svojo družino

and he supports his whole family

z blogom, ki ga piše dvakrat na teden.

with a blog that he writes for twice a week.

They just came back from a month in Europe, all of them together.

Pravkar so se vsi po enem mesecu vrnili iz Evrope.

To me je kar malo vrglo iz tira. Kako je to sploh mogoče?

This blew my mind. How does this even exist?

And I got unbelievably inspired by seeing this,

Ko sem to videl, sem dobil neverjeten navdih,

and instead of shutting it down, I decided, let's take it seriously.

namesto, da bi ga ukinil, sem se odločil vzeti to resno.

And I did everything I could to spend my time,

Storil sem vse mogoče, da sem porabil svoj čas,

every waking hour possible trying to hound these guys,

vsako budno uro, s preganjanjem teh ljudi,

hanging out and having beers and workouts, whatever it was.

se družil z njimi, pil pivo in treniral, kar je pač bilo.

In po štirih letih ničelne rasti

And after four years of zero growth,

se je v šestih mesecih druženja z njimi

within six months of hanging around these people,

skupnost Živi svojo legendo povečala za desetkrat.

the community at Live Your Legend grew by 10 times.

V še 12 mesecih se je povečala za 160-krat.

In another 12 months, it grew by 160 times.

And today over 30,000 people from 158 countries

In danes več kot 30 tisoč ljudi iz 158 držav

uporablja naša orodja za kariere in povezave vsak mesec.

use our career and connection tools on a monthly basis.

And those people have made up that community of passionate folks

Ti ljudje so ustanovili skupnost strastnih ljudi,

who inspired that possibility that I dreamed of

ki so spodbudili možnost, o kateri sem sanjal

for Live Your Legend so many years back.

za Živi svojo legendo pred toliko leti.

The people change everything, and this is why --

Ljudje spremenijo vse zato -

veste, se vprašate, kaj se dogaja.

you know, you ask what was going on.

Well, for four years, I knew nobody in this space,

No, štiri leta nisem poznal nikogar v tukaj,

and I didn't even know it existed, that people could do this stuff,

niti nisem vedel, da obstaja, da lahko ljudje delajo vse to,

that you could have movements like this.

da obstajajo gibanja, kot je to.

And then I'm over here in San Francisco, and everyone around me was doing it.

Potem pa sem prišel sem v San Francisco in vsi so se ukvarjali s tem.

It became normal, so my thinking went from how could I possibly do this

Postalo je normalno. Zato sem začel razmišljati, kako bi sploh to naredil,

namesto tega, kako sploh ne bi.

to how could I possibly not.

And right then, when that happens, that switch goes on in your head,

Ko se to zgodi, se v glavi vklopi stikalo,

kar spremeni ves vaš svet.

it ripples across your whole world.

And without even trying, your standards go from here to here.

Brez truda se vaši standardi pomaknejo od tukaj do tukaj.

You don't need to change your goals. You just need to change your surroundings.

Ni potrebno spremeniti ciljev. Spremeniti morate le okolje.

That's it, and that's why I love being around this whole group of people,

To je to in zato sem rad med ljudmi te celotne skupine,

zato grem na vsak TED-ov dogodek, če le lahko,

why I go to every TED event I can,

and watch them on my iPad on the way to work, whatever it is.

in si te dogodke ogledam na iPad-u na poti na delo.

Because this is the group of people that inspires possibility.

Kajti to je skupina ljudi, ki spodbuja možnosti.

Cel dan lahko preživimo skupaj in še veliko drugih.

We have a whole day to spend together and plenty more.

To sum things up, in terms of these three pillars,

Če povzamem stvari, kar zadeva te tri stebre,

they all have one thing in common more than anything else.

imajo vsi predvsem eno skupno stvar.

They are 100 percent in our control.

So stoodstotno pod našim nadzorom.

No one can tell you you can't learn about yourself.

Nihče vam ne more reči, da se ne morete učiti o sebi.

No one can tell you you can't push your limits

Niti, da ne morete podreti vaših meja,

and learn your own impossible and push that.

spoznati, kaj je za vas nemogoče, in podreti tudi to.

No one can tell you you can't surround yourself with inspiring people

Niti, da se ne obdate z navdihujočimi ljudmi,

or get away from the people who bring you down.

ali oditi od ljudi, ki vas vlečejo navzdol.

You can't control a recession.

Ne morete nadzorovati recesije.

You can't control getting fired or getting in a car accident.

Ne tega ali vas bodo odpustili ali se boste znašli v prometni nesreči.

Most things are totally out of our hands.

Večina stvari je popolnoma izven naših moči.

These three things are totally on us,

Te tri stvari pa so popolnoma odvisne od nas

in lahko spremenijo ves naš svet, če se odločimo storiti nekaj glede tega.

and they can change our whole world if we decide to do something about it.

In to se začenja dogajati na širši ravni.

And the thing is, it's starting to happen on a widespread level.

Pravkar sem prebral v reviji Forbes, da je ameriška vlada prvič

I just read in Forbes, the US Government reported for the first time

v mesecu poročala, kje je več ljudi dalo odpoved,

in a month where more people had quit their jobs

kot jih je bilo odpuščenih.

than had been laid off.

They thought this was an anomaly, but it's happened three months straight.

Mislili so, da je anomalija, a se je zgodilo tri mesece zaporedoma.

In a time where people claim it's kind of a tough environment,

V času, ko ljudje trdijo, da je okolje težko,

ljudje kažejo sredinec temu vnaprej zrežiranemu življenju,

people are giving a middle finger to this scripted life,

the things that people say you're supposed to do,

stvarem, ki bi jih morali narediti,

in exchange for things that matter to them and do the things that inspire them.

v zameno za stvari, ki so pomembne njim, in se ukvarjajo z navdihujočimi stvarmi.

And the thing is, people are waking up to this possibility,

Zadeva je takšna, ljudje se začenjajo zavedati verjetnosti,

that really the only thing that limits possibility now is imagination.

da je v resnici domišljija edina stvar, ki omejuje možnosti.

That's not a cliché anymore.

To ni več kliše.

I don't care what it is that you're into, what passion, what hobby.

Ne zanima me, kaj vas privlači, kakšna je vaša strast, kakšen vaš hobi.

If you're into knitting, you can find someone who is killing it knitting,

Če vas zanima pletenje, boste našli nekoga, ki to obvlada

in se lahko učili od njih. To je fantastično.

and you can learn from them. It's wild.

And that's what this whole day is about, to learn from the folks speaking,

In za to se gre že ves dan: učiti se od ljudi, ki govorijo,

and we profile these people on Live Your Legend every day,

in mi jih vsak dan opisujemo na Živi svojo legendo,

because when ordinary people are doing the extraordinary,

kajti ko običajni ljudje počnejo nekaj izrednega

and we can be around that,

in smo mi lahko zraven,

it becomes normal.

to postane normalno.

And this isn't about being Gandhi or Steve Jobs, doing something crazy.

Ne gre za to, kako si Gandhi ali Steve Jobs in počneš nekaj norega.

It's just about doing something that matters to you,

Gre samo za to, da naredite nekaj, kar je pomembno vam,

and makes an impact that only you can make.

in ima učinek, ki ga lahko dosežete samo vi.

Speaking of Gandhi, he was a recovering lawyer,

Ko že govorimo o Gandhiju: bil je bivši odvetnik,

as I've heard the term,

kot temu pravijo,

and he was called to a greater cause, something that mattered to him,

in poklican k večjemu cilju. Tistega, kar je bilo zanj pomembno,

he couldn't not do.

ni mogel zavrniti.

And he has this quote that I absolutely live by.

Obstaja njegov citat, kateremu povsem sledim.

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you,

"Najprej te ignorirajo, potem se ti smejijo,

then they fight you, then you win."

potem se borijo proti tebi, potem pa zmagaš."

Everything was impossible until somebody did it.

Vse je nemogoče, dokler tega nekdo ne stori.

You can either hang around the people who tell you it can't be done

Lahko se družite z ljudmi, ki vam pravijo, da ni mogoče

and tell you you're stupid for trying,

in da ste neumni, ker poskušate.

or surround yourself with the people who inspire possibility,

Ali pa se obkrožite z ljudmi, ki spodbujajo možnosti,

ljudmi, ki so v tem prostoru.

the people who are in this room.

Because I see it as our responsibility to show the world

Jaz to namreč vidim kot našo odgovornost, da pokažemo svetu,

da lahko vse, kar izgleda nemogoče, postane nova normalnost.

that what's seen as impossible can become that new normal.

And that's already starting to happen.

In to se je že začelo dogajati.

First, do the things that inspire us,

Prvič, delajmo stvari, ki nas navdihujejo,

so we can inspire other people to do the things that inspire them.

tako da bomo lahko navdihnili druge ljudi za stvari, ki njih navdihujejo.

But we can't find that

Vendar navdiha ne moremo najti,

če ne vemo, kaj iščemo.

unless we know what we're looking for.

We have to do our work on ourself,

Narediti moramo nekaj na sebi,

be intentional about that, and make those discoveries.

biti pri tem načrtni in odkrivati novo.

Because I imagine a world where 80 percent of people love the work they do.

Predstavljam si svet, kjer 80 odstotkov ljudi obožuje svoje delo.

What would that look like?

Kako bi to izgledalo?

What would the innovation be like? How would you treat the people around you?

Kakšne bi bile inovacije? Kako bi se obnašali do ljudi okoli vas?

Things would start to change.

Stvari bi se začele spreminjati.

And as we finish up, I have just one question to ask you guys,

Ob koncu imam samo še eno vprašanje za vas

and I think it's the only question that matters.

in mislim, da je edino vprašanje, ki je pomembno.

And it's what is the work you can't not do?

In sicer, katerega dela ne morete ne opravljati?

Discover that, live it,

Odkrijte ga, živite ga,

not just for you, but for everybody around you,

ne samo za vas, ampak za vse okoli vas,

because that is what starts to change the world.

kajti to je način, s katerim začnemo spreminjati svet.

What is the work you can't not do?

Katerega dela ne morete ne opravljati?

Thank you guys.

Hvala vam.
