The happy secret to better work | Shawn Achor

Translator: Ereblir Kadriu Reviewer: Amantia Gjikondi

When I was seven years old and my sister was just five years old,

Kur une isha shtate vjece dhe motra ime ishte vetem pese vjece,

we were playing on top of a bunk bed.

ne ishim duke lujatur mbi krevat.

I was two years older than my sister at the time --

Ne ate kohe une isha dy vite me i madhe se motra ime--

Domethene, une jam dy vite me i madh se ajo edhe tani--

I mean, I'm two years older than her now --

but at the time it meant she had to do everything that I wanted to do,

por në atë kohë do te thoshte se ajo kishte për të bërë gjithçka që kam kërkuar për të bërë,

and I wanted to play war.

dhe une deshiroja te luanim me lufte.

So we were up on top of our bunk beds.

Pra ne u ngritem lart ne krevatet tane.

And on one side of the bunk bed,

Dhe ne njeren pjese te krevatit,

I had put out all of my G.I. Joe soldiers and weaponry.

U desh te nxirrja te gjithe ushtaret e mi G.I. Joe dhe armet.

Dhe ne anen tjeter ishin gjithe motrat e mia My Little Ponies

And on the other side were all my sister's My Little Ponies

gati per nje pagese kaloresi.

ready for a cavalry charge.

There are differing accounts of what actually happened that afternoon,

Ka shpjegime te ndryshme se cfare me te vertete ndodhi ate pasdite,

por perderisa motra ime nuk eshte me ne ketu sot,

but since my sister is not here with us today,

me lejoni te ju tregoj historine e vertete --

let me tell you the true story --

(Buzeqeshje) --

(Laughter)

which is my sister's a little on the clumsy side.

e cila eshte nje histori qe tregon anen e ngathte te saj.

Somehow, without any help or push from her older brother at all,

Disi, pa asnjë ndihmë ose shtytje nga vëllai i saj me i madh,

Amy disappeared off of the top of the bunk bed

papritmas Amy zhduket nga maja e shtratit

dhe zbriti me kete perplasje ne dysheme.

and landed with this crash on the floor.

Tani une me nervozizem dal mbi anen tjeter te shtratit

I nervously peered over the side of the bed

per te pare cka kishte ndodhur me motren time te rene

to see what had befallen my fallen sister

and saw that she had landed painfully on her hands and knees

dhe e pash qe ajo kishte rene ne toke ne duar dhe gjunje

me te kater gjymtyret ne toke.

on all fours on the ground.

I was nervous because my parents had charged me

Une isha nervoz sepse prinderit e mi me kishin angazhuar mua

te sigurohesha qe motra ime dhe une

with making sure that my sister and I

played as safely and as quietly as possible.

te luanin sa me te sigurt e te qete qe te ishte e mundur.

And seeing as how I had accidentally broken Amy's arm

Dhe duke pare se si une aksidentalisht e theva krahun e Amy-t

just one week before --

vetem nje jave para..

(Laughter)

(Buzeqeshje)

(Laughter ends)

....heroikisht duke e shtyre ate nga rruga

heroically pushing her out of the way of an oncoming imaginary sniper bullet,

nga një plumb që vjen përballë snajperit imagjinar,

(Buzeqeshje)

(Laughter)

per te cilen une ende kam per ta falenderuar,

for which I have yet to be thanked, I was trying as hard as I could --

Une ishte duke tentuar aq shume sa une mundesha --

ajo as qe e e pa ate duke ardhur --

she didn't even see it coming --

I was trying hard to be on my best behavior.

Une isha duke tentuar aq shume te sillesha me se miri.

Dhe une pash fytyren e motres time,

And I saw my sister's face,

this wail of pain and suffering and surprise

ky renkim i dhimbjes dhe vuajtjes dhe surpizes

threatening to erupt from her mouth and wake my parents

duke me kercenuar se do te tregoj dhe duke me kercenuar te zgjoj

prinderit e mi nga gjumi i dimrit.

from the long winter's nap for which they had settled.

Keshtu qe une bera vetem nje gje

So I did the only thing

my frantic seven year-old brain could think to do to avert this tragedy.

truri im prej shtate vjecari po mendonte sesi ta anashkalonte kete tragjedi.

And if you have children, you've seen this hundreds of times.

Dhe nese ju keni femije, ju e keni pare kete me mijera here me pare.

Une thashe, "Amy, Amy, prit. Mos qaj. Mos qaj.

I said, "Amy, wait. Don't cry. Did you see how you landed?

A e pe sesi re?

No human lands on all fours like that.

Ne asnje toke njerezore nuk pelqehet ajo.

Amy, I think this means you're a unicorn."

Amy, une mendoj se kjo do te thote ju jeni nje njebrireshe."

(Laughter)

(Te qeshura)

Now, that was cheating,

Tani ky ishte mashtrim, sepse nuk kishte asgje ne bote qe motra ime do ta deshironte me shume

because there was nothing she would want more

than not to be Amy the hurt five year-old little sister,

sesa te mos ishte Amy motra e vogel pese vjecare e lenduar,

por Amy njebrireshja speciale.

but Amy the special unicorn.

Sigurisht, ky ishte nje opsion qe ishte i hapur ne trurin e saj ne asnje pike ne te kaluaren.

Of course, this option was open to her brain

at no point in the past.

Dhe ju mund ta shihni si motra ime e gjore dhe e manipular u ballafaqua me konfliktin,

And you could see how my poor, manipulated sister faced conflict,

pasi truri i saj i vogel tentoi ti perkushtohet burimeve

as her little brain attempted to devote resources

per te ndjere dhimbjen dhe vuajtjen dhe surprizen

to feeling the pain and suffering and surprise she just experienced,

qe ajo posa ekspeimentoi,

ose duke menduar identitetin e saj te ri si nje njebrireshe.

or contemplating her new-found identity as a unicorn.

Dhe kjo e fundit fitoi.

And the latter won.

Instead of crying or ceasing our play,

Ne vend te qarjes, ne vend te nderprerjes se lojes sone,

instead of waking my parents,

ne vend te zgjimit te prinderve,

with all the negative consequences for me,

me te te gjitha pasojat negative qe do te rezultonin per mua,

a smile spread across her face

ne vend te kesaj buzeqeshjeje qe u shpernda ne fytyren e saj

and she scrambled back up onto the bunk bed

dhe ajo hipi prape ne shtrat me gjithe hijeshin e nje femije njebriresh..

with all the grace of a baby unicorn --

(Te qeshura)

(Laughter)

....me nje kembe te thyer.

with one broken leg.

Ajo cka na pengonte

What we stumbled across

at this tender age of just five and seven --

ne kete moshe te brishte te vetem pese dhe shtate vjecareve --

we had no idea at the time --

ne nuk kishim asnje ide ne ate kohe --

was was going be at the vanguard of a scientific revolution

ishte dicka qe do te ishte ne revulucionin shkencor

occurring two decades later in the way that we look at the human brain.

qe ndodhi dy dekada me vone ne menyre se si ne shikojme trurin njerezor.

Ate qe kishin ngecur te gjithe ne eshte dicka qe quhet psikologji pozitive,

We had stumbled across something called positive psychology,

qe eshte arsyeja qe une jam sot ketu

which is the reason I'm here today

and the reason that I wake up every morning.

dhe arsyeja qe une zgjohem cdo mengjes.

Kur se pari fillova te flas per kete hulumtim

When I started talking about this research

jashte akademise, neper kompani dhe shkolla,

outside of academia, with companies and schools,

gjeja e pare qe ata thane qe mos ta beje kurre

the first thing they said to never do is to start with a graph.

eshte te filloj fjalimin me nje grafike.

The first thing I want to do is start with a graph.

Gjeja e pare qe une dua te beje eshte te filloj fjalimin tim me nje grafike.

This graph looks boring,

Ky grafik duket i merzitshem,

but it is the reason I get excited and wake up every morning.

por ky grafike eshte arsyeja qe une merakosem dhe zgjohem cdo mengjes.

Dhe ky grafik nuk nenkupton asgje; jane te dhena te rreme.

And this graph doesn't even mean anything; it's fake data.

Cka ne gjejme eshte --

What we found is --

(Te qeshura)

(Laughter)

If I got this data studying you, I would be thrilled,

Nese do ti merrja ato te dhena ketu per t'i studiuar, une do te tronditesha,

because there's a trend there,

sepse aty eshte shume qarte nje trend qe po ndodh atje,

and that means that I can get published,

dhe kjo nenkupton se une mundem te publikoj.

which is all that really matters.

gje qe ka shume rendesi.

There is one weird red dot above the curve,

Fakti qe eshte nje pike te pazakonte e kuqe qe eshte larte mbi kurbe,

there's one weirdo in the room --

eshte nje e cuditshme ne kete dhome --

I know who you are, I saw you earlier --

Une e di kush je, te pash me heret--

that's no problem.

nuk ka problem.

That's no problem, as most of you know, because I can just delete that dot.

Nuk ka problem, si shumica prej jush,

sepse une nuk mundem ta fshije ate pike.

I can delete that dot because that's clearly a measurement error.

Une mund ta fshije ate pike sepse qarte shihet qe eshte nje gabim ne matje.

Dhe ne e dime qe eshte nje gabim ne matje

And we know that's a measurement error because it's messing up my data.

sepse po i ngaterron te dhenat.

(Laughter)

So one of the first things we teach people

Pra nje nder gjerat e para qe ne i mesojme njerezve

ne ekonomi dhe statistike dhe biznes dhe kurse te psikologjise

in economics, statistics, business and psychology courses

is how, in a statistically valid way, do we eliminate the weirdos.

eshte si ne nje menyre statistike valide, ne i elimonojme te cuditshmet.

Si i eliminojme personat e vecuar

How do we eliminate the outliers so we can find the line of best fit?

pra ne mund te gjejme vijen se si te pershtatemi me se miri?

Which is fantastic if I'm trying to find out

E cila eshte fantastike nese une tentoj ta gjej

how many Advil the average person should be taking -- two.

sa eshte sasid e Advilit qe nje person mesatar duhet te marr -- dy.

But if I'm interested in your potential,

Por nese une jam e interesuar ne potencial, nese une jam e interesuar ne potencialin tuaj,

ose per lumturine ose produktivitetin

or for happiness or productivity or energy or creativity,

ose energjine ose kreativitetin,

we're creating the cult of the average with science.

cka ne jemi duke bere eshte qe ne jemi duke krijuar kultin e mesatares me shkence.

If I asked a question like,

Nese une do te beja nje pyetje sikur,

"How fast can a child learn how to read in a classroom?"

" Sa shpejte mundet nje femije te mesoj si te lexoj ne nje klase?"

scientists change the answer to

shkenctaret ndryshojne pergjigjen ne" Sa shpejte nje femije mesatar

"How fast does the average child learn how to read in that classroom?"

meson si te lexoj ne ate klase?"

dhe pastaj e rregullojme klasen drejt mesatares.

and we tailor the class towards the average.

Tani nese bini poshte mesatares se kesaj kurbe,

If you fall below the average,

atehere psikologu do te merakoset,

then psychologists get thrilled,

sepse ajo do te thote se ju ose jeni te deshpruar ose ju keni nje crregullim,

because that means you're depressed or have a disorder,

ose ndoshta te dyja.

or hopefully both.

We're hoping for both because our business model is,

Ne jemi duke shpresuar per te dyja sepse modeli yne i biznesit eshte,

if you come into a therapy session with one problem,

nese ju vini ne nje sesion terapie me nje problem,

ne duam te sigruohemi qe ju shkoni duke i ditur qe i keni 10,

we want to make sure you leave knowing you have ten,

pra ju vazhdoni te vini perseri e perseri.

so you keep coming back.

We'll go back into your childhood if necessary,

Ne do te shkojme ne femijerine tuaj nese eshte e nevojshme,

por perfundimisht cka ne deshirojme te bejme eshte t'ju bejme perseri normal.

but eventually we want to make you normal again.

Por normal eshte vetem mesatarja.

But normal is merely average.

And positive psychology posits that if we study what is merely average,

Dhe cka parashtroj dhe cka parashtron psikologjia pozitive

eshte se nese ne studjojme cka eshte vetem mesatare,

we will remain merely average.

ne do te mbesim vetem mesatar.

Then instead of deleting those positive outliers,

Pastaj ne vend qe te fshijme ata persona te vecuar,

ajo cka une qellimisht bej eshte te vije ne nje popullesi si kjo

what I intentionally do is come into a population like this one

dhe te them, pse?

and say, why?

Pse ekziston qe disa prej jush jeni shume lart mbi kurbe

Why are some of you high above the curve

ne periudha te aftesise tuaj intelektuale, aftesise atletike, aftesise muzikore,

in terms of intellectual, athletic, musical ability,

kreativitetit, niveleve te energjise,

creativity, energy levels,

resiliency in the face of challenge, sense of humor?

elasticitetit tuaj përballë sfidës, ndjenjes tuaj te humorit?

Cfaredo qe te jete, ne vend te fshirjes tuaj, cka une dua te beje eshte te ju studjoj.

Whatever it is, instead of deleting you, what I want to do is study you.

Sepse ndoshta ne mund te mbledhim informacione --

Because maybe we can glean information,

jo vetem si t'i levizim njerezit tek mesatarja,

not just how to move people up to the average,

por si mund te levizim tere mesataren

but move the entire average up in our companies and schools worldwide.

ne kompanite tona dhe shkollat ne mbare boten.

The reason this graph is important to me

Arsyeja pse ky grafik eshte i rendesishme per mua

is, on the news, the majority of the information is not positive.

eshte, kur une ndez lajmet, duket sikur pjesa me e madhe e informacionit

nuk eshte pozitive, ne fakt eshte negative.

in fact it's negative.

Most of it's about murder, corruption, diseases, natural disasters.

Shumica e tyre është në lidhje me vrasjen, korrupsionin, sëmundjet, fatkeqësitë natyrore.

And very quickly, my brain starts to think

Dhe shume shpejte, truri ime filon te mendoj

ky eshte raporti i sakte i negatives tek pozitvja ne bote.

that's the accurate ratio of negative to positive in the world.

Cka po bene ajo eshte krijimi i dickaje

This creates "the medical school syndrome."

i quajtur sindromi mjekesor shkollor --

During the first year of medical training,

ku, nese ju njihni njerez qe kane qene ne shkollen e mjeksise,

as you read through a list of all the symptoms and diseases,

gjate vitit te pare te trajnimit mjekesor,

perderisa ju lexoni neper listen te te gjitha simptomave dhe semundjeve qe mund te ju ndodhin,

suddenly you realize you have all of them.

papritmas ju e kuptoni qe ju i keni te gjitha prej tyre.

(Laughter)

Une kam nje dhender i quajtur Bobo -- i cili eshte nje histori tjeter.

I have a brother in-law named Bobo, which is a whole other story.

Bobo u martua me Amy njebrireshen.

Bobo married Amy the unicorn.

Bobo called me on the phone --

Bobo me telefoni mua

(Laughter)

nga Yale Shkolla e Mjekesise,

from Yale Medical School,

and Bobo said, "Shawn, I have leprosy."

dhe Bobo tha, "Shawn, une kam lebroz."

(Laughter)

(Te qeshura)

Which, even at Yale, is extraordinarily rare.

E cila, edhe ne Yale, eshte jashtezakonisht e rralle.

But I had no idea how to console poor Bobo

Por une nuk kisha ide si ta ngushelloja te shkretin Bobo

because he had just gotten over an entire week of menopause.

sepse ai kishte marrë vetëm mbi një javë të tërë të menopauzës.

(Te qeshura)

(Laughter)

We're finding it's not necessarily the reality that shapes us,

Ajo cfare ne gjejme ekziston e nuk eshte domosdosshmeri realiteti qe i jep forme asaj

but the lens through which your brain views the world that shapes your reality.

por lentet nëpërmjet të cilit truri juaj sheh botën që formon realitetin tuaj.

Dhe nese ne mund te ndryshojme lentet, jo vetem qe ne mund te ndryshojme lumturine tuaj,

And if we can change the lens, not only can we change your happiness,

ne mund te ndryshojme cdo rezultat te vetem arsimor dhe biznesor ne te njejten kohe.

we can change every single educational and business outcome at the same time.

Kur une aplikova ne Harvard, une aplikova me nje sfide.

I applied to Harvard on a dare.

Nuk e prisja te futesha, dhe familja ime nuk kishte para per kolegj.

I didn't expect to get in, and my family had no money for college.

Kur mora nje burse ushtarake dy jave me vone, ata me lejuan te shkoj.

When I got a military scholarship two weeks later, they let me go.

Papritmas, dicka qe nuk ishte mundesi u be realitet.

Something that wasn't even a possibility became a reality.

Kur une shkova atje, une supuzova se cdo njeri do ta shihte ate si privilegj,

I assumed everyone there would see it as a privilege as well,

qe ata do te ishin te gezuar qe jane atje.

that they'd be excited to be there.

Edhe nese je ne nje klase te mbushur me njerez me te mencur se ti

Even in a classroom full of people smarter than you,

ju do te ishit te lumtur te jeni ne ate klase, kjo eshte ajo cka une ndjeva.

I felt you'd be happy just to be in that classroom.

Por cka une gjeta atje

eshte, qe derisa disa njerez e provojne ate,

But what I found is, while some people experience that,

kur une u diplomva pas kater viteve

when I graduated after my four years

dhe pastaj kalova tete vitet e ardhshme duke jetuar ne konvikte me studentet --

and then spent the next eight years living in the dorms with the students --

Hravard me pyeti mua; Une nuk isha ai djali.

Harvard asked me to; I wasn't that guy.

(Te qeshura)

(Laughter)

I was an officer to counsel students through the difficult four years.

Une isha nje oficer i Harvardit per te keshilluar studentet gjate kater viteve te veshtira.

And in my research and my teaching,

Dhe cka une zbulova ne hulumtimin dhe mesimdhenien time

I found that these students, no matter how happy they were

eshte se keta student, pa marre parasysh sa te lumtur ishin ata

me suksesin e tyre origjinal te hyrjes ne shkolle,

with their original success of getting into the school,

two weeks later their brains were focused, not on the privilege of being there,

dy jave me vone truri i tyre ishte i fokusara, jo ne privilegjin e te qenurit aty,

as ne filozofine e tyre ose ne fizikun e tyre.

nor on their philosophy or physics,

Truri i tyre ishte fokusuar ne konkursin, ne ngarkesen e punes,

but on the competition, the workload,

streset, ankesat.

the hassles, stresses, complaints.

When I first went in there, I walked into the freshmen dining hall,

Kur une se pari shkova atje, une shkova ne sallen e ngrenies se freshmenve,

ne te cilen jane shoket e mi mga Waco, Texas, vendi ku une u rrita --

which is where my friends from Waco, Texas, which is where I grew up --

E di qe disa prej jush keni degjuar per te.

I know some of you know this.

Kur ata erdhen per te me vizituar, ata shikuan rreth e rrotull,

When they'd visit, they'd look around,

ata thane, " Kjo salle e ngrenies duket si dicka

and say, "This dining hall looks like something out of Hogwart's."

nga Hogwart nga filmi "Harry Potter", të cilën e bën.

Ky eshte Hogwart nga filmi "Harry Poter" dhe ky Harvard.

It does, because that was Hogwart's and that's Harvard.

Dhe kur ju e shihni kete,

And when they see this,

they say, "Why do you waste your time studying happiness at Harvard?

ata thone, " Shawn, pse e humbni kohen tuaj duke studiuar lumturine ne Harvard?

Serizisht, cka kane studentet e Harvardit

What does a Harvard student possibly have to be unhappy about?"

qe te jene te pa lumtur?"

Ngulititja brenda kesaj pytjeje

Embedded within that question

is the key to understanding the science of happiness.

eshte celesi per te kuptuar shkencen e lumturise.

Sepse cka supozon kjo pyetje

Because what that question assumes

është se bota jonë e jashtme është parashikuese e niveleve tona lumturise,

is that our external world is predictive of our happiness levels,

ku ne realitet, nese une di cdo gje rreth botes tuaj te jashtme,

when in reality, if I know everything about your external world,

une mund te parashikoj vetem 10 perqind te jete-gjatesise se lumturise tuaj.

I can only predict 10% of your long-term happiness.

90 perqind te jete-gjatesise se lumturise tuaj

90 percent of your long-term happiness is predicted not by the external world,

eshte e parashikuar nga bota e jashtme

por meqe ra fjala truri juaj proceson boten.

but by the way your brain processes the world.

Dhe nese ne e ndryshojme ate,

And if we change it,

if we change our formula for happiness and success,

nese ne e ndryshojme formulen tone per lumturi dhe sukses,

cka ne mund te bejme eshte te ndryshojme menyren

we can change the way that we can then affect reality.

qe pastaj te mund te ndikojme ne realitet.

What we found is that only 25% of job successes are predicted by IQ,

Cka ne gjetem eshte se vetem 25 perqind e sukseseve te punes

parashikohen nga I.Q.

75 percent of job successes

75 perqind e sukseseve te punes

are predicted by your optimism levels, your social support

parashikohen nga niveli juaj optimistik, nga perkrahja sociale

and your ability to see stress as a challenge instead of as a threat.

dhe aftesia te shihni stresin si nje sfide ne vend te nje kercenimi.

I talked to a New England boarding school, probably the most prestigious one,

Une fola me nje shkolle konviktu ne Angli, ndoshta shkolla me prestigjioze,

dhe ata thane, " Ne tani e dime ate.

and they said, "We already know that.

Keshtu qe cdo vit, ne vend qe vetem t'i mesojme studentet tane, ne gjithashtu kemi javen e miresise.

So every year, instead of just teaching our students, we have a wellness week.

Dhe ne jemi shume te ngazellyer. Te henen mbrema ne kemi ekspertin e udheheqjes se botes

And we're so excited. Monday night we have the world's leading expert

qe do te vije te flas rreth depresionit ne adoleshence.

will speak about adolescent depression.

Te marten mbrema eshte dhuna ne shkolla dhe fyerjet.

Tuesday night it's school violence and bullying.

Te merkuren mbrema jane crregullimet e ushqimit.

Wednesday night is eating disorders.

Te ejten mbrema perdorimi i droges.

Thursday night is illicit drug use.

Dhe te premten mbrema ne jemi duke provuar te vendosim ndermjet marredhenieve te rrezikshme seksuale dhe lumturise."

And Friday night we're trying to decide between risky sex or happiness."

(Te qeshura)

(Laughter)

I said, "That's most people's Friday nights."

Une thashe, " Kjo eshte e Premtja e shumices prej njerezve."

(Laughter)

(Te qeshura)

(Applause)

(Duartroktije)

Which I'm glad you liked, but they did not like that at all.

Te cilen jam i kenqaur qe e pelqyet, por ata nuk e perlqyen ate aspak.

Qetesi ne telefon.

Silence on the phone.

And into the silence, I said, "I'd be happy to speak at your school,

Dhe ne qetesi, Une thashe, " Une do te isha i lumtur te flas ne shkollen tuaj,

por vetem qe ta dini, kjo nuk eshte java e miresise, kjo eshte java e semundjes.

but that's not a wellness week, that's a sickness week.

Çfarë keni bërë është që ju keni paraqitur të gjitha gjërat negative që mund të ndodhin,

You've outlined all the negative things that can happen,

por nuk keni folur per pozitivet."

but not talked about the positive."

Mungesa e semundjes nuk eshte shendet.

The absence of disease is not health.

Ketu eshte si te fitojme shendet:

Here's how we get to health:

We need to reverse the formula for happiness and success.

Ne duhet te ndryshojme formulen per lumturi dhe sukses.

In the last three years, I've traveled to 45 countries,

Ne tri vitet e fundit, une kam udhetuar ne 45 vende te ndryshme,

duke punuar me shkolla dhe kompani

working with schools and companies in the midst of an economic downturn.

ne mes te renies ekonomike.

And I found that most companies and schools

Dhe cka une gjeta eshte se shumica e kompanive dhe shkollave

follow a formula for success, which is this:

ndjekin nje formule per sukses, e cila eshte kjo:

Nese une punoj me shume, une do te jem me i sukseshem.

If I work harder, I'll be more successful.

Dhe nese une jam me i sukseshem, pastaj une do te jem me i lumtur.

And if I'm more successful, then I'll be happier.

That undergirds most of our parenting and managing styles,

Kjo mbeshtet shumicen prej prinderve tane, stilet tona menaxhuese,

menyra si ne motivojme sjelljen tone.

the way that we motivate our behavior.

Dhe problemi është se eshte thyer shkencërisht dhe prapa për dy arsye.

And the problem is it's scientifically broken and backwards for two reasons.

Se pari, cdo here truri juaj ka nje sukses,

Every time your brain has a success,

you just changed the goalpost of what success looked like.

ju vetem e ndryshuat qellimin se si u duk suksesi.

Ju keni nota te mira, tani ju duhet te merrni nota me te mira,

You got good grades, now you have to get better grades,

ju keni hyre ne nje shkolle te mire dhe pasi te hyni ne nje shkolle me te mire

you got into a good school and after you get into a better one,

ju fitoni nje pune te mire, tani ju duhet te fitoni nje pune me te mire,

ju goditni objektivin e shitjes tuaj, ne jemi duke shkuar për të ndryshuar objektivin e shitjes tuaj.

you got a good job, now you have to get a better job,

Dhe nese lumturia eshte ne anen e kundert te suksesit, truri juaj kurre nuk shkon atje.

you hit your sales target, we're going to change it.

Cka ne kemi bere eshte qe ne kemi shtyre lumturine

And if happiness is on the opposite side of success, your brain never gets there.

mbi horizontin e njohes si shoqeri.

We've pushed happiness over the cognitive horizon, as a society.

Dhe kjo eshte sepse ne mendojme se ne duhet te jemi te sukseshem,

pastaj ne do te jemi te lumtur.

And that's because we think we have to be successful,

Por problemi i vertete eshte se truri jone punon ne rendin e kundert.

then we'll be happier.

But our brains work in the opposite order.

Nese ju mund te ngrini nivelin e positivitetit te dikujt ne te tashmen,

If you can raise somebody's level of positivity in the present,

pastaj pervojat e trurit te tyre cka ne quajme perparesi e lumturise,

then their brain experiences what we now call a happiness advantage,

qe eshte truri juaj ne pozitivitet

performon me mire

which is your brain at positive performs significantly better

sese tek negatvi, neutrali ose i stresuari.

than at negative, neutral or stressed.

Inteligjenca juaj rritet, kreativiteti juaj rritet, niveli i energjise tuaj rritet.

Your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, your energy levels rise.

Ne fakt, cka ne gjejme

In fact, we've found that every single business outcome improves.

eshte se cdo dalje e biznesit permiresohet.

Truri juaj tek pozitivi eshte 31 perqind me produktiv

Your brain at positive is 31% more productive

sesa truri juaj tek negativi, neutrali ose i stresuari.

than your brain at negative, neutral or stressed.

Ju jeni 37 perqind me i mire tek shitjet

You're 37% better at sales.

Doctors are 19 percent faster, more accurate

Doktoret jane 19 perqind me te shpejte, me te sakte

at coming up with the correct diagnosis

te sjellin diagnoza korrekte

when positive instead of negative, neutral or stressed.

kur pozitivi ne vend te negativit, neutralit ose stresit.

Qe do te thote se ne mund te ndryshojme formulen.

Which means we can reverse the formula.

Nese ne mund te gjejme nje rrugedalje qe te behemi pozitiv ne te tashmen,

If we can find a way of becoming positive in the present,

pastaj truri jone punon me me shume sukses

then our brains work even more successfully

pasi ne jemi ne gjendje te punojme me shume, me shpejte dhe më me inteligjence.

as we're able to work harder, faster and more intelligently.

Cka na duhet te jemi ne gjendje te bejme eshte te ndryshojme kete formule

We need to be able to reverse this formula

so we can start to see what our brains are actually capable of.

pra ne mund te fillojme te shohim se cka eshte ne gjendje te beje truri jone.

Sepse dopamine, e cila permbytet ne sistemin tuaj ku ju jeni pozitiv,

Because dopamine, which floods into your system when you're positive,

ka dy funksione.

has two functions.

Jo vetem qe ju bene me te lumtur,

Not only does it make you happier,

kjo rezulton në të gjitha qendrat e mësimit në trurin tuaj

it turns on all of the learning centers in your brain

duke i'u lejuar juve te adaptoheni me boten ne menyre tjeter.

allowing you to adapt to the world in a different way.

Ne zbuluam se ka menyra qe mund te trajtoni turin tuaj

We've found there are ways that you can train your brain

qe te jeni ne gjendje te jeni me pozitiv.

to be able to become more positive.

Ne nje hapsire dy minuteshe te kohes se bere per 21 dite me rradhe,

In just a two-minute span of time done for 21 days in a row,

ne faktikisht mund t'ua ri-instalojme trurit tuaj

we can actually rewire your brain,

duke lejuar trurin tuaj te punoj

allowing your brain to actually work more optimistically and more successfully.

me me optimizem dhe me me shume sukses.

Ne kemi bere gjera ne hulumtim tani

We've done these things in research now

ne secilen kompani qe kam punuar,

in every company that I've worked with,

duke i bindur ata te shkruajne tri gjera te reja per te cilat ata jane mirenjohes

getting them to write down three new things that they're grateful for

per 21 dite me rradhe, tri gjera te reja cdo dite.

Dhe ne fund te saj

for 21 days in a row, three new things each day.

truri i tyre fillon te ruaj nje model

And at the end of that,

their brain starts to retain a pattern

te skanimit te botes, jo per negativin, por per pozitivin.

of scanning the world not for the negative, but for the positive first.

Protokolimi rreth nje eksperinece pozitive qe ju keni pasuar pas 24 oreve te shkuara

Journaling about one positive experience you've had over the past 24 hours

i lejon trurit tuaj ta zvogeloj ate

Ushtrimi meson trurin tuaj se sjellja juaj ka rendesi.

allows your brain to relive it.

Ne zbuluam se meditimi lejon trurin tuaj

Exercise teaches your brain that your behavior matters.

te mberrij mbi ADHD kulturore qe ne kemi qene duke krijuar

We find that meditation allows your brain

to get over the cultural ADHD that we've been creating

duke provuar te bejme detyra te shumfishta njeheresh

dhe lejon trurin tone te fokusohet ne detyre.

by trying to do multiple tasks at once

and allows our brains to focus on the task at hand.

Dhe se fundi, veprime te rastesishme te miresise jane veprime te vetedijshme te miresise.

And finally, random acts of kindness are conscious acts of kindness.

Ne i marrim njerezit, kur ata e hapin inbox-in e tyre,

per te shkruar nje email pozitiv

We get people, when they open up their inbox,

duke lavderuar ose falenderuar dike ne rrjetin e tyre social.

to write one positive email

Dhe duke bere keto aktivitete

praising or thanking somebody in their support network.

dhe duke trajnuar turin tuaj ashtu sikur trajnojme trupin tone,

And by doing these activities

cka ne kemi gjetur eshte ne mund te ndryshojme formulen e lumturise dhe suksesit,

and by training your brain just like we train our bodies,

dhe duke bere keshtu, jo vetem krijojme plluquritje te pozitivitetit,

what we've found is we can reverse the formula for happiness and success,

por krijojme nje revulucion te vertete.

and in doing so, not only create ripples of positivity,

Faleminderit shume.

but a real revolution.

Thank you very much.
