How to find work you love | Scott Dinsmore

Prevodilac: Ivana Krivokuća Lektor: Tijana Mihajlović

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

Vau, kakva čast. Oduvek sam se pitao kako će ovo izgledati.

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

Pre osam godina sam dobio najgori savet o karijeri u svom životu.

I had a friend tell me,

Jedan prijatelj mi je rekao:

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

„Ne brini o tome koliko voliš posao kojim se trenutno baviš.

It's all about just building your resume."

jer se sve svodi na izgrađivanje tvog CV-a.“

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

Samo što sam se vratio iz Španije gde sam živeo neko vreme

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

i pridružio se jednoj vrhunskoj kompaniji.

Pomislio sam: „Fantastično! Imaću veliki uticaj u svetu.“

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

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

Imao sam toliko ideja.

U roku od dva meseca,

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

primetio sam da svakog jutra oko 10 časova imam čudnu potrebu

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

da jako udarim glavom u ekran kompjutera.

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

Ne znam da li je neko to osetio.

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

Ubrzo sam primetio da su svi konkurenti u našem prostoru

had already automated my job role.

već automatizovali moju poslovnu ulogu.

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

Ovo se desilo baš kada sam dobio taj mudri savet da izgrađujem svoj CV.

Well, as I'm trying to figure out

Tako, dok sam pokušavao da smislim

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

sa kog prozora sa drugog sprata ću da skočim i kako da promenim stvari,

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

pročitao sam sasvim različit savet Vorena Bafeta, koji kaže:

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

„Prihvatanje posla da bi poboljšao CV je isto kao čuvanje seksa za stare dane.“

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Time sam čuo sve što mi je trebalo.

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

Kroz dve nedelje sam otišao odatle sa jednom namerom -

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

da pronađem nešto što mogu da upropastim.

Eto koliko je bilo teško.

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

Želeo sam da imam nekakav uticaj, nije bilo bitno o čemu se radi.

Ubrzo sam uvideo da nisam sam.

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

it turns out that over 80 percent of the people around

Ispostavilo se da preko 80% ljudi unaokolo ne uživa u svom poslu.

don't enjoy their work.

Pretpostavljam da je to ovde drugačije,

I'm guessing this room is different,

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

ali to je prosek do koga je došao Deloit kroz istraživanja.

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

Želeo sam da saznam po čemu se ti ljudi razlikuju,

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

ljudi koji se strastveno bave poslom kojim menjaju svet,

that wake up inspired every day,

koji se svakoga dana bude inspirisani,

and then these people, the other 80 percent

i tih 80% ljudi

koji vode živote tihog očajanja.

who lead these lives of quiet desperation.

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

Tako sam počeo da intervjuišem ljude koji se bave inspirativnim radom,

and I read books and did case studies,

čitao sam knjige i studije slučaja,

300 books altogether on purpose and career and all this,

ukupno 300 knjiga o svrsi, karijeri i svemu tome,

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

potpuno se posvetivši tome, iz sebičnih razloga -

želeo sam da nađem posao koji ne mogu da ne radim,

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

what that was for me.

koji bi bio odgovarajući za mene.

Otkako sam počeo ovo da radim, sve više ljudi je počelo da me pita:

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

"You're into this career thing.

„Tebe zanimaju karijerne stvari, a ja ne volim svoj posao.

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

Da li bismo mogli na ručak?“

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

Rekao bih: „Naravno.“ Ipak, morao bih da ih upozorim

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

da je u tom trenutku moja stopa otkaza takođe 80%.

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

Od tih ljudi s kojima bih išao na ručak,

80% njih bi dalo otkaz u roku od dva meseca.

within two months.

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

Bio sam ponosan na sebe, a nije bila u pitanju neka posebna magija.

It was that I would ask one simple question.

Postavio bih im jedno jednostavno pitanje:

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

Glasilo je: „Zbog čega se bavite poslom kojim se bavite?“

And so often their answer would be,

Često bi njihov odgovor bio:

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

„Pa, zato što mi je neko rekao da tako treba da radim.“

And I realized that so many people around us

Shvatio sam da se mnogo ljudi oko nas

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

uspinje lestvicama na koje im neko kaže da se penju,

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

što se završava osloncem o pogrešan zid

ili uopšte nema zida.

or no wall at all.

Što sam više vremena provodio sa ovim ljudima i uvideo ovaj problem,

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

I thought, what if we could create a community,

pomislio sam: „Šta ako stvorimo zajednicu,

a place where people could feel like they belonged

mesto gde ljudi mogu da osećaju kao da tu pripadaju

and that it was OK to do things differently,

i gde je u redu raditi stvari drugačije,

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

krenuti putem kojim se ređe ide,

gde se to podstiče i ljudi se nadahnjuju da se promene?“

and inspire people to change?

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

To je kasnije postalo ono što sada nazivam „Proživite svoju legendu“,

which I'll explain in a little bit.

što ću objasniti za koji trenutak.

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

Dok sam dolazio do ovih otkrića,

uočio sam okvir od tri jednostavne stvari

of really three simple things

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

koji je zajednički ovim ljudima koji strastveno menjaju svet,

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

bilo da ste Stiv Džobs

ili ste samo osoba koja ima pekaru na kraju ulice,

the person that has the bakery down the street.

ali vi obavljate posao koji je oličenje onoga što ste.

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

Želim da podelim te tri stvari sa vama, tako da ih možemo koristiti kao objektiv

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

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

za posmatranje tokom ostatka dana i života, nadam se.

The first part of this three-step passionate work framework

Prvi deo ovog okvira od tri koraka za strastveni posao

is becoming a self-expert and understanding yourself,

je postati ekspert za sebe i razumeti samog sebe,

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

jer ako ne znate šta tražite,

you're never going to find it.

nikada to nećete naći.

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

Stvar je u tome da niko neće to uraditi umesto nas.

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

Ne postoji predmet studija na univerzitetu o strasti, svrsi i karijeri.

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

Ne znam zašto to nije obavezan dvostruki program,

but don't even get me started on that.

ali bolje da ne počinjem o tome.

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

Mislim, provodite više vremena birajući televizor za studentsku sobu

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

nego u odabiru predmeta i oblasti studija.

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

Poenta je da je na nama da to otkrijemo,

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

a potreban nam je okvir, način da se krećemo kroz to.

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

Prvi korak na našem kompasu je pronalaženje naših jedinstvenih snaga.

Koje su to stvari koje volimo da radimo čim se probudimo bez obzira na sve,

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

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

bilo da smo plaćeni ili ne, stvari na kojima su nam ljudi zahvalni?

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

„Pronalazač snaga 2.0“ je knjiga i alatka na internetu.

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

Toplo ga preporučujem za otkrivanje onoga u čemu ste prirodno dobri.

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

Zatim, koji je naš okvir ili hijerarhija za donošenje odluka?

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

Da li nam je stalo do ljudi, naše porodice, zdravlja,

or is it achievement, success, all this stuff?

ili je to postignuće, uspeh, sve te stvari?

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

Moramo da otkrijemo šta je to da bismo doneli te odluke,

da bismo znali od čega nam je sačinjena duša,

so we know what our soul is made of,

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

da je ne bismo prodali nekom cilju za koji nas uopšte nije briga.

And then the next step is our experiences.

Naredni korak su naša iskustva.

Svi mi imamo iskustva.

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

Saznajemo svakog dana i minuta šta volimo, šta mrzimo,

about what we love, what we hate,

šta nam dobro ide, šta nam uopšte ne ide.

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

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

Ako ne posvećujemo vreme obraćanju pažnje na to,

primanju tih saznanja

and assimilating that learning

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

i njihovoj primeni na ostatak života, onda je sve uzaludno.

Every day, every week, every month of every year

Svakog dana, nedelje, meseca, godine

provodim izvesno vreme samo u razmatranju toga šta je bilo dobro,

I spend some time just reflecting on what went right,

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

šta je bilo loše, šta hoću da ponovim,

what can I apply more to my life.

šta mogu da dodatno primenim na svoj život.

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

Štaviše, ako vidite ljude, naročito danas,

who inspire you, who are doing things where you say

koji vas inspirišu, koji rade stvari zbog kojih govorite:

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

„O bože, to što Džef radi, hteo bih da budem kao on.“

Why are you saying that? Open up a journal.

Zašto to govorite? Otvorite dnevnik.

Write down what it is about them that inspires you.

Zapišite šta je to kod njih što vas inspiriše.

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

Neće sve biti vezano za njihov život,

but whatever it is, take note on that,

ali šta god da je u pitanju, pribeležite to,

so over time we'll have this repository of things

pa ćemo vremenom imati to skladište stvari

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

koje možemo koristiti da ga primenimo na svoj život,

da naše postojanje ima više strasti i da ostvarimo veći uticaj.

and make a better impact.

Because when we start to put these things together,

Jer, kada počnemo da sve ovo sastavljamo,

we can then define what success actually means to us,

tada možemo da definišemo šta uspeh zaista znači za nas,

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

a bez tih različitih delova kompasa, to je nemoguće.

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

Nađemo se u situaciji - imamo život po scenariju

za koji se čini da ga svi žive,

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

uspinjući se uz lestvice koje ne vode nikud.

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

To je kao u filmu „Vol Strit 2“, ako ga je neko gledao,

the peon employee asks the big Wall Street banker CEO,

radnik na niskom položaju pita velikog direktora, bankara sa Vol Strita:

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

„Koji je tvoj broj? Svako ima broj.

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

Ako zarade toliki novac, napuste sve.“

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

On kaže: „O, jednostavno je. Još.“

And he just smiles.

I samo se nasmeje.

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

To je tužno stanje većine ljudi

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

koji nisu proveli vreme u razumevanju onoga što im je bitno,

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

koji nastavljaju da teže nečemu što nam ništa ne znači,

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

ali to radimo jer svi kažu da bi tako trebalo.

Međutim, kada imamo ovaj okvir,

But once we have this framework together,

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

možemo početi da prepoznajemo stvari koje nas oživljavaju.

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

Znate, pre ovoga, strast bi mogla da dođe i da vas zvekne u facu,

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

ili možda u vašoj mogućoj struci, a vi biste je mogli odbaciti

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

jer nemate način da je prepoznate.

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

Međutim, kada je prepoznam, mogu videti nešto što je u skladu sa mojim snagama,

my values, who I am as a person,

vrednostima, sa tim ko sam kao osoba,

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

pa ću to da zgrabim, uradiću nešto sa tim,

slediću to i pokušaću da time ostvarim uticaj.

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

And Live Your Legend and the movement we've built

„Proživite svoju legendu“ i pokret koji smo izgradili

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

ne bi postojao da nemam ovaj kompas da prepoznam:

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

„Vau, ovo je nešto za čim želim da tragam i da time ostvarim traga.“

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

Ako ne znamo šta tražimo, nikada to nećemo naći,

but once we have this framework, this compass,

ali kada imamo ovaj okvir, ovaj kompas,

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

tada možemo da pređemo na ono što je sledeće -

a to tamo nisam ja -

doing the impossible and pushing our limits.

čineći nemoguće i pomerajući svoje granice.

Postoje dva razloga zbog kojih ljudi ne rade stvari.

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

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

Jedan je da govore sebi da ne mogu da ih urade

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

ili ljudi oko njih kažu da ne mogu da ih urade.

Either way, we start to believe it.

Kako god, počinjemo da verujemo u to.

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

Ili odustanemo ili uopšte ne počnemo.

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

Stvar je u tome što je sve bilo nemoguće dok to neko nije uspeo.

Every invention, every new thing in the world,

Za svaki izum, svaku novu stvar na svetu, ljudi su najpre mislili da je to suludo.

people thought were crazy at first.

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

Rodžer Banister i milja za četiri minuta - bilo je to fizički nemoguće

to break the four-minute mile in a foot race

preći milju za četiri minuta u pešačkoj trci

until Roger Bannister stood up and did it.

dok se Rodžer Banister nije suočio sa tim i uspeo.

And then what happened?

Šta se zatim dogodilo?

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

Dva meseca kasnije, 16 ljudi je prešlo milju za 4 minuta.

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

Stvari koje imamo u glavi za koje smatramo da su nemoguće

često su samo prekretnice koje čekaju da budu ostvarene

are often just milestones waiting to be accomplished

if we can push those limits a bit.

ako možemo malo da pomerimo granice.

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

Mislim da ovo verovatno počinje sa fizičkim telom i sposobnošću najpre,

more than anything, because we can control that.

jer to možemo da kontrolišemo.

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

Ako mislite da ne možete da pretrčite milju,

you show yourself you can run a mile or two,

pokažite sebi da možete da pretrčite milju ili dve,

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

ili maraton, ili da izgubite dva kila, šta god,

shvatate da se pouzdanje nadograđuje

you realize that confidence compounds

and can be transferred into the rest of your world.

i može se preneti na ostatak vašeg sveta.

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

Zapravo sam ušao u naviku da to pomalo radim sa prijateljima.

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

Imamo malu grupu.

Idemo na fizičke avanture,

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

a nedavno sam se zatekao u nekakvom nezgodnom mestu.

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

Užasno se bojim duboke, tamne, plave vode.

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

Ne znam da li je neko imao isti strah

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

otkad je gledao „Ajkulu“ broj 1, 2, 3 i 4 jedno šest puta

when I was a kid.

kada je bio dete.

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

Sve što je iznad ovog nivoa, ako je mutno, mogu već sad da osetim.

I swear there's something in there.

Kunem se da tamo ima nečeg.

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

Čak i ako je to jezero Taho; to je slatka voda,

potpuno neosnovan strah, besmisleno, ali tu je.

ridiculous, but it's there.

Anyway, three years ago I find myself on this tugboat

Uglavnom, pre tri godine sam se našao na remorkeru

right down here in the San Francisco Bay.

baš ovde u Zalivu San Franciska.

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

Kišovit je, olujni, vetrovit dan, ljudima postaje muka na brodu,

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

a ja sedim u ronilačkom odelu i gledam kroz prozor

u potpunom užasu dok razmišljam da ću upravo zaploviti u svoju smrt.

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

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

Pokušavam da plivam preko Golden Gejta.

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

Pretpostavljam da su neki ljudi u ovoj prostoriji možda to već uradili.

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

Sedim tako i moj drugar Džonatan, koji me je nagovorio na to,

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

prilazi mi i mogao je da vidi u kakvom sam stanju.

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

Kaže: „Skot, hej, čoveče, šta je najgore što se može desiti?

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

Nosiš ronilačko odelo. Nećeš potonuti.

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

Ako ne možeš da uspeš, samo naskoči na jedan od 20 kajaka.

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

Uz to, ako se desi napad ajkule, zašto bi odabrala tebe

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

od 80 ljudi u vodi?“

Hvala, to pomaže.

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

U fazonu je: „Stvarno, samo se zabavi. Srećno.“

On zaranja, otpliva. U redu.

And he dives in, swims off. OK.

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

Ispostavilo se da je motivacioni govor skroz delovao i imao sam

osećaj potpune smirenosti, a mislim da je to jer je Džonatan imao 13 godina.

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

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And of the 80 people swimming that day,

Od 80 ljudi koji su plivali tog dana,

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

65 njih je imalo između devet i 13 godina.

Think how you would have approached your world differently

Zamislite kako biste drugačije pristupali svetu

da ste sa devet godina otkrili da možete da preplivate 2,5 km

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.

u vodi na 13 stepeni od Alkatraza do San Franciska.

What would you have said yes to?

Na šta biste pristali?

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

Od čega ne biste odustali? Šta biste probali?

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

Dok završavam sa plivanjem, stižem u vodeni park,

and I'm getting out of the water

izlazim iz vode i, naravno, polovina dece je već završila,

and of course half the kids are already finished,

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

tako da me bodre i skroz su uzbuđeni.

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

Glava mi postaje skroz smrznuta, ako je iko od vas plivao u Zalivu,

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

pokušavam samo da odledim lice i gledam kako ljudi završavaju.

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

Vidim jedno dete - nešto nije izgledalo kako treba.

And he's just flailing like this.

Samo je mlatarao ovako.

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

Jedva uspeva da uzme malo vazduha pre nego što opet tresne glavom dole.

And I notice other parents were watching too,

Primetio sam da i drugi roditelji gledaju

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

i kunem se da su pomislili istu stvar kao i ja:

evo zašto ne treba dati deci od 9 godina da plivaju od Alkatraza.

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

This was not fatigue.

To nije bio zamor.

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

Odjednom, dva roditelja pritrčavaju i zgrabe ga,

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

stavljaju ga na svoja ramena i vuku ga ovako,

totally limp.

potpuno mlitavog.

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

Zatim odjednom odšetaju još par metara

and they plop him down in his wheelchair.

i ubace ga u njegova kolica.

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

On podiže pesnicu u najluđem prikazu pobede

koji sam ikada video.

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

Još mogu da osetim toplinu i energiju tog dečka

when he made this accomplishment.

kada je ostvario ovaj podvig.

I had seen him earlier that day in his wheelchair.

Video sam ga ranije tog dana u njegovim kolicima.

I just had no idea he was going to swim.

Samo nisam imao pojma da će da pliva.

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

Mislim, gde će biti za 20 godina?

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

Koliko ljudi mu je reklo da on to ne može, da će umreti ako to proba?

Dokažite ljudima i sebi da niste u pravu,

You prove people wrong, you prove yourself wrong,

da možete da napravite male postepene pomake

that you can make little incremental pushes

u onome što verujete da je moguće.

of what you believe is possible.

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

Ne morate biti najbrži maratonac na svetu,

samo da ostvarite sopstvene nemogućnosti,

just your own impossibilities, to accomplish those,

a to počinje malim koracima.

and it starts with little bitty steps.

And the best way to do this

Najbolji način da to uradite

is to surround yourself with passionate people.

jeste da se okružite strastvenim ljjudima.

Najbrži način da uradite stvari za koje mislite da to ne možete

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

is to surround yourself with people already doing them.

je da se okružite ljudima koji ih već rade.

Postoji citat Džima Rona koji glasi:

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

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

„Ti si prosek petoro ljudi sa kojima provodiš najviše vremena.“

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

Nema veće životne strategije u istoriji sveta

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

za stizanje od mesta na kome si danas na ono gde želiš da budeš

than the people you choose to put in your corner.

od ljudi koje odabereš da postaviš uz sebe.

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

Oni menjaju sve i to je dokazana činjenica.

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

Godine 1898, Norman Triplet je sproveo istraživanje sa gomilom biciklista

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

i merio bi njihovo vreme na stazi u grupi,

and also individually.

kao i pojedinačno.

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

Otkrio je da bi biciklisti u grupi svaki put vozili brže.

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

To se od tada ponovilo u najrazličitijim oblastima života

and it proves the same thing over again,

i stalno iznova dokazuje istu stvar -

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

da su ljudi oko vas bitni i da je sve u okruženju.

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

Međutim, na vama je da ga kontrolišete, jer može delovati i dobro i loše.

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

Sa 80% ljudi koji ne vole posao koji obavljaju,

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

to znači da većina ljudi oko nas, ne u ovoj prostoriji, ali svuda drugde,

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

podstiče samozadovoljstvo i sprečava nas da težimo stvarima koje su nam bitne,

so we have to manage those surroundings.

tako da moramo da se snađemo sa tim okruženjima.

I found myself in this situation --

Našao sam se u sledećoj situaciji -

personal example, a couple years ago.

lični primer od pre par godina.

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

Da li je neko od vas ikada imao hobi ili strast u koji je uneo srce i dušu,

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

neverovatnu količinu vremena i toliko žele da to nazovu poslom,

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

ali niko ne obraća pažnju i to ne zarađuje ni dinara?

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

U redu, tako sam četiri godine pokušavao

da izgradim taj pokret „Proživi svoju legendu“

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

da pomognem ljudima da rade posao

do koga im je istinski stalo i koji ih inspiriše.

and I was doing all I could,

Radio sam sve što sam mogao,

and there were only three people paying attention,

ali je svega troje ljudi obraćalo pažnju,

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

i svi su upravo ovde - moja majka, otac i moja žena Čelsi.

Thank you guys for the support.

Hvala vam na podršci.

(Applause)

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

Toliko sam to snažno želeo da sam ga negovao sa nula posto

tokom četiri godine i bio sam nadomak zatvaranja,

and I was about to shut it down,

and right about then,

a upravo tada,

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

preselio sam se u San Francisko i počeo da upoznajem neke veoma zanimljive ljude

who had these crazy lifestyles of adventure,

koji su imali ludi životni stil pun avantura,

of businesses and websites and blogs

poslova, veb-sajtova i blogova

koji su okruživali njihove strasti i pomogali ljudima na značajan način.

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

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

Jedan od mojih prijatelja ima porodicu od osam članova

and he supports his whole family

i izdržava celu porodicu

with a blog that he writes for twice a week.

pomoću bloga za koji piše dva puta nedeljno.

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

Upravo su se bili vratili posle mesec dana u Evropi, svi zajedno.

This blew my mind. How does this even exist?

To me je fasciniralo. Kako je to uopšte moguće?

And I got unbelievably inspired by seeing this,

Postao sam neverovatno inspirisan kada sam to video

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

i umesto da ga zatvorim, rešio sam da se uozbiljim.

And I did everything I could to spend my time,

Radio sam sve što sam mogao da bih provodio vreme,

every waking hour possible trying to hound these guys,

svaki mogući trenutak na javi da bih obigravao oko tih ljudi,

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

družio se, išao na pivo i vežbanje, šta god bilo.

And after four years of zero growth,

Nakon četiri godine sa nula rasta,

within six months of hanging around these people,

u roku od šest meseci druženja sa ovim ljudima,

the community at Live Your Legend grew by 10 times.

zajednica pri „Proživi svoju legendu“ uvećala se 10 puta.

In another 12 months, it grew by 160 times.

U narednih 12 meseci, povećala se 160 puta.

And today over 30,000 people from 158 countries

Danas, više od 30 000 ljudi iz 158 zemalja

use our career and connection tools on a monthly basis.

koriste naše alatke za karijeru i povezivanje na mesečnom nivou.

And those people have made up that community of passionate folks

Ti ljudi su sačinili tu zajednicu strastvenih osoba

who inspired that possibility that I dreamed of

koji su inspirisali tu mogućnost o kojoj sam maštao

for Live Your Legend so many years back.

za „Proživi svoju legendu“ toliko godina unazad.

The people change everything, and this is why --

Ljudi menjaju sve, a evo razloga -

you know, you ask what was going on.

znate, pitate se šta se dešavalo.

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

Pa, tokom četiri godine, nisam poznavao nikoga u tom prostoru

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

i nisam znao da postoji, da ljudi mogu da postignu te stvari,

that you could have movements like this.

da možete da imate ovakve pokrete.

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

Zatim sam se našao ovde u San Francisku i svi oko mene su to radili.

To je postalo normalno, pa je moje razmišljanje išlo od:

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

„Kako je moguće da to uradim?“ ka: „Kako je moguće da to ne uradim?“

to how could I possibly not.

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

Upravo tada, kada se to dešava, upali vam se lampica u glavi,

it ripples across your whole world.

krene da se prenosi na ceo vaš svet.

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

Bez ikakvog truda, vaši standardi dođu odavde dovde.

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

Ne morate da menjate svoje ciljeve. Samo treba da promenite okruženje.

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

To je to i zato volim da budem u društvu cele te grupe ljudi,

zato idem na svaki događaj TED-a na koji mogu,

why I go to every TED event I can,

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

gledam ih na svom Ajpedu na putu ka poslu, šta god da je u pitanju.

Because this is the group of people that inspires possibility.

Jer je ovo grupa ljudi koja inspiriše mogućnosti.

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

Imamo ceo dan da provedemo zajedno i još više od toga.

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

Da sumiramo stvari, u pogledu ova tri potporna stuba,

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

svi oni imaju jednu zajedničku stvar više nego bilo šta drugo.

They are 100 percent in our control.

Sto posto su u našoj kontroli.

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

Niko vam ne može reći da ne možete da saznajete o sebi.

Niko vam ne može reći da ne možete pomeriti svoje granice,

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

and learn your own impossible and push that.

saznate šta je za vas nemoguće i to pogurate napred.

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

Niko vam ne može reći da se ne možete okružiti inspirativim ljudima

or get away from the people who bring you down.

ili odete od ljudi koji vam ubijaju volju.

You can't control a recession.

Ne možete upravljati recesijom.

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

Ne možete kontrolisati da li će vas otpustiti

i da li ćete doživeti nesreću.

Most things are totally out of our hands.

Većina stvari nam je potpuno izvan moći.

These three things are totally on us,

Ove tri stvari potpuno zavise od nas

i mogu da promene ceo naš svet

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

ako odlučimo da nešto uradimo u vezi sa time.

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

Stvar je u tome da počinje da se dešava na vrlo širokom nivou.

Upravo sam čitao u „Forbsu“ da je vlada SAD-a prvi put objavila

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

da je u jednom mesecu više ljudi dalo otkaz

in a month where more people had quit their jobs

than had been laid off.

nego što je otpušteno.

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

Mislili su da je to anomalija, ali dogodilo se tri meseca zaredom.

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

U vremenu u kome ljudi tvrde da je sredina okrutna,

ljudi pokazuju srednji prst životu po scenariju,

people are giving a middle finger to this scripted life,

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

stvarima za koje ljudi kažu da treba da ih radite,

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

menjaju ih stvarima koje su im bitne i rade stvari koje ih inspirišu.

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

Stvar je u tome da se ljudi bude uz ovu mogućnost

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

da je mašta zapravo jedina stvar koja ograničava mogućnost u trenutku.

That's not a cliché anymore.

To više nije kliše.

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

Ne zanima me šta vas privlači, kakva je to strast, kakav hobi.

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

Ako vam se dopada pletenje, možete da nađete nekog ko razbija u pletenju

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

i da učite od njega; fantastično je.

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

To je ono što ceo ovaj dan podrazumeva, da učimo od ljudi koji govore,

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

a mi pravimo profile ovakvih ljudi u „Proživi svoju legendu“ svakog dana,

because when ordinary people are doing the extraordinary,

jer kada obični ljudi rade nešto izuzetno,

and we can be around that,

a mi možemo da budemo u blizini,

it becomes normal.

to postaje normalno.

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

Ne radi se o tome da budete Gandi ili Stiv Džobs, da radite nešto ludo.

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

Radi se o tome da radite nešto do čega vam je stalo

and makes an impact that only you can make.

i što stvara uticaj koji samo vi možete da ostvarite.

Speaking of Gandhi, he was a recovering lawyer,

Kad smo već kod Gandija, on je bio izlečeni advokat,

as I've heard the term,

kako sam ja čuo termin,

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

i dobio je poziv ka višem cilju, nečemu do čega mu je bilo stalo,

he couldn't not do.

što nije mogao da ne uradi.

And he has this quote that I absolutely live by.

On ima ovaj citat po kome ja apsolutno živim.

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

„Prvo vas ignorišu, pa vam se smeju,

then they fight you, then you win."

onda se bore protiv vas, zatim pobedite.“

Everything was impossible until somebody did it.

Sve je bilo nemoguće dok to neko nije uradio.

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

Možete ili da se družite sa ljudima koji vam kažu da to ne može

and tell you you're stupid for trying,

i da ste glupi što pokušavate

or surround yourself with the people who inspire possibility,

ili da se okružite ljudima koji inspirišu mogućnost,

the people who are in this room.

ljudima koji su u ovoj prostoriji.

Because I see it as our responsibility to show the world

Jer vidim kao našu odgovornost da pokažemo svetu

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

da ono što se sagledava kao nemoguće može postati novo normalno,

And that's already starting to happen.

a to već počinje da se dešava.

First, do the things that inspire us,

Najpre, radimo stvari koje nas inspirišu,

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

da bismo mogli da inspirišemo druge ljude da rade stvari koje njih inspirišu.

But we can't find that

Međutim, to ne možemo naći

unless we know what we're looking for.

ako ne znamo šta tražimo.

We have to do our work on ourself,

Moramo da radimo na sebi,

be intentional about that, and make those discoveries.

raditi to sa namerom i doći do tih otkrića.

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

Jer zamišljam svet gde 80 posto ljudi voli posao koji obavlja.

What would that look like?

Kako bi to izgledalo?

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

Kakve bi bile inovacije? Kako biste se ophodili prema ljudima oko sebe?

Things would start to change.

Stvari bi počele da se menjaju.

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

Dok privodimo kraju, imam samo jedno pitanje da vam postavim,

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

a mislim da je to jedino pitanje koje je značajno.

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

To je - koji je to posao koji ne možete da ne radite?

Discover that, live it,

Otkrijte to, proživite to,

not just for you, but for everybody around you,

ne samo zbog sebe, već i za sve oko vas,

because that is what starts to change the world.

jer to je ono što počinje da menja svet.

What is the work you can't not do?

Koji je to posao koji ne možete da ne radite?

Thank you guys.

Hvala vam, narode.

(Applause)
