How to succeed? Get more sleep | Arianna Huffington

My big idea is a very, very small idea

Moja velika ideja

je pravzaprav zelo majhna, vendar lahko

that can unlock billions of big ideas

odpira vrata

milijardi novih idej,

that are at the moment dormant inside us.

ki trenutno mirujejo v nas.

And my little idea that will do that is sleep.

In moja majhna ideja, ki to povzroči,

je spanje.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

(Applause)

(aplavz)

This is a room of type A women.

To je prostor z ženskami tipa-A.

To je prostor

This is a room of sleep-deprived women.

z ženskami s pomanjkanjem spanca.

And I learned the hard way the value of sleep.

Na težji način sem se naučila,

kako pomemben je spanec.

Dve in pol leti nazaj,

Two-and-a-half years ago, I fainted from exhaustion.

sem omedlela od izčrpanosti.

I hit my head on my desk.

Glava mi je omahnila in zlomila sem si ličnico.

I broke my cheekbone, I got five stitches on my right eye.

Dobila sem pet šivov na mojem desnem očesu.

And I began the journey of rediscovering the value of sleep.

In tako sem začela svojo pot

ponovnega odkrivanja koristi spanca.

V ta namen

And in the course of that, I studied,

sem začela študirati o tem.

I met with medical doctors, scientists,

Posvetovala sem se z zdravniki, znanstveniki

and I'm here to tell you

in prišla sem, da vam povem,

that the way to a more productive, more inspired, more joyful life

da je pot do večje produktivnosti,

večje inspirativnosti, večjega zadovoljstva v življenju,

dovolj spanja.

is getting enough sleep.

(Applause)

(Aplavz)

And we women are going to lead the way

In prav me ženske bomo sledile tej poti,

in this new revolution, this new feminist issue.

tej preobrazbi, temu novemu feminističnemu stališču.

We are literally going to sleep our way to the top -- literally --

Pot do vrha bomo prespale. Dobesedno.

(Smeh)

(Laughter)

(Applause)

(Aplavz)

Na žalost

because unfortunately, for men,

je moškim

sleep deprivation has become a virility symbol.

pomanjkanje spanja postalo simbol možatosti.

I was recently having dinner with a guy

Nedavno sem večerjala z nekim moškim,

who bragged that he had only gotten four hours sleep the night before.

ki se je bahal, da je

sinoči spal samo štiri ure.

In želela sem mu povedati - pa nisem -

And I felt like saying to him -- but I didn't say --

I felt like saying, "You know what? if you had gotten five,

želela sem mu reči: "Veš kaj?!"

Če bi ti odspal pet ur,

this dinner would have been a lot more interesting."

bi bila ta večerja veliko bolj zabavna."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

There is now a kind of sleep deprivation one-upmanship.

Sedaj obstaja nov način pomanjkanja spanca:

"vstan'se ob-enih"

Especially here in Washington, if you try to make a breakfast date,

Če se poskušaš dogovoriti za zajtrk z nekom, tukaj v Washingtonu

and you say, "How about eight o'clock?"

in praviš: "Kako bi šlo ob osmih?"

they're likely to tell you, "Eight o'clock is too late for me,

bodo verjetno odgovorili: "Ob osmih mi je skoraj že prepozno,

ampak v redu, saj lahko pred tem odigram igro tenisa,

but that's OK, I can get a game of tennis in

in naredim nekaj konferenčnih klicev, in se dobiva ob osmih.”

and do a few conference calls and meet you at eight."

In s tem mislijo,

And they think that means they are so incredibly busy and productive,

da so tako neverjetno zasedeni in ustvarjalni,

resnica pa je, da niso,

but the truth is, they're not,

because we, at the moment,

ker se nam trenutno dogaja,

have had brilliant leaders in business, in finance, in politics,

da briljantne vodje

v podjetništvu, v financah, v politiki,

delajo strašne napake.

making terrible decisions.

Torej visok I.Q.

So a high IQ does not mean that you're a good leader,

ne pomeni, da si dober vodja,

because the essence of leadership is being able to see the iceberg

ker je osnova za vodenje

da vidiš ledeno goro,

before it hits the Titanic.

še preden zadane Titanik.

(Laughter)

In imamo preveč ledenih gor,

And we've had far too many icebergs hitting our Titanics.

ki zadevajo naš Titanik.

In fact, I have a feeling

Pravzaprav imam občutek,

that if Lehman Brothers was Lehman Brothers and Sisters,

da če bi bili Lehman Brothers (op. p.: Bratje Lehman, znana propadla korporacija v ZDA),

Bratje in sestre Lehman,

they might still be around.

bi mogoče še obstajali.

(Laughter)

(Aplavz)

(Applause)

While all the brothers were busy just being hyper-connected 24/7,

Ko so bili bratje prezasedeni,

bili "hiper-povezani", 24 ur, 7 dni v tednu,

bi mogoče sestra opazila ledeno goro,

maybe a sister would have noticed the iceberg,

because she would have woken up

ker bi se vstala ob pol sedmih oz. po osem urnem spancu

from a seven-and-a-half- or eight-hour sleep,

and have been able to see the big picture.

in bila zmožna oceniti

celotno situacijo.

So as we are facing all the multiple crises

In tako smo soočeni z

vse večkratnimi krizami

v našem svetu ta trenutek.

in our world at the moment,

what is good for us on a personal level,

Kar je dobro za nas osebno,

what's going to bring more joy, gratitude, effectiveness in our lives

kar prinese več veselja, hvaležnosti,

učinkovitosti v naših življenjih,

and be the best for our own careers,

in kar je najboljše za naše kariere,

is also what is best for the world.

je tudi najboljše za cel svet.

So I urge you to shut your eyes,

Torej vas rotim,

zaprite oči

and discover the great ideas that lie inside us;

in odkrijte super ideje,

ki so v nas,

to shut your engines and discover the power of sleep.

izklopite malo in odkrijete moč spanca.

Thank you.

Hvala.

(Applause)
