The happy secret to better work | Shawn Achor

Prevodilac: Matija Sabadoš Lektor: Ivana Korom

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

Kada sam imao sedam godina, a moja sestra pet,

we were playing on top of a bunk bed.

igrali smo se na krevetu na sprat.

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

Tada sam bio dve godine stariji od nje -

mislim, i sad sam stariji od nje dve godine -

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,

ali tada je to značilo da je ona morala da radi sve što sam ja želeo da radim,

and I wanted to play war.

a ja sam hteo da se igram rata.

So we were up on top of our bunk beds.

Dakle, bili smo na krevetu na sprat.

And on one side of the bunk bed,

Sa jedne strane kreveta,

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

sam postavio sve svoje plastične vojnike i naoružanje.

A sa druge strane su bili svi Mali Poniji moje sestre

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

spremni za konjički juriš.

ready for a cavalry charge.

There are differing accounts of what actually happened that afternoon,

Postoje oprečni stavovi o tome šta se dogodilo tog popodneva,

but since my sister is not here with us today,

a s obzirom da moja sestra danas nije ovde sa nama,

dozvolite mi da vam ispričam istinitu verziju priče -

let me tell you the true story --

(Laughter)

(Smeh) -

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

a to je, da je moja sestra malo nespretna.

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

Bez pomoći ili guranja od strane njenog starijeg brata,

Amy disappeared off of the top of the bunk bed

Ejmi je iznenada nestala sa kreveta na sprat

and landed with this crash on the floor.

i pala uz tresak na pod.

Nervozno sam provirio preko ivice kreveta

I nervously peered over the side of the bed

to see what had befallen my fallen sister

da vidim šta je snašlo moju palu sestru

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

i video kako se bolno prizemljila

sa sve četri na zemlji.

on all fours on the ground.

I was nervous because my parents had charged me

Bio sam uplašen jer su me roditelji zadužili

da vodim računa da se moja sestra i ja

with making sure that my sister and I

played as safely and as quietly as possible.

igramo što bezbednije i što tiše moguće.

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

Uzimajući u obzir da sam slučajno slomio Ejminu ruku

just one week before --

svega nedelju dana ranije...

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

(Laughter ends)

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

junački je gurnuvši kako bi izbegla

zamišljeni snajperski metak koji joj se približavao,

(Smeh)

(Laughter)

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

još uvek mi se nije zahvalila,

trudio sam se koliko sam mogao -

she didn't even see it coming --

nije ga ni videla -

I was trying hard to be on my best behavior.

trudio sam da se ponašam najbolje što mogu.

And I saw my sister's face,

Video sam sestrino lice,

this wail of pain and suffering and surprise

plač bola i patnje i iznenađenja

threatening to erupt from her mouth and wake my parents

koji je pretio da izbije iz njenih usta i probudi

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

moje roditelje iz dubokog zimskog sna koji su usnuli.

Stoga sam uradio jedinu stvar

So I did the only thing

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

koju je moj sedmogodišnji mozak mogao da smisli i izbegne ovu tragediju.

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

Roditelji su ovo videli na stotine puta.

Rekao sam: "Ejmi, stani. Nemoj plakati.

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

Jesi videla kako si se prizemljila?

No human lands on all fours like that.

Nijedno ljudsko biće ne sleće tako.

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

Ejmi, mislim da to znači da si ti jednorog."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Now, that was cheating,

Nije postojalo ništa na svetu što bi moja sestra više želela

because there was nothing she would want more

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

nego da ne bude Ejmi petogodišnja povređena sestra,

but Amy the special unicorn.

već Ejmi specijalni jednorog.

To je bila mogućnost koja joj nikada u prošlosti nije bila dostupna.

Of course, this option was open to her brain

at no point in the past.

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

I moglo se videti kako je moja jadna sestra suočena sa konfliktom,

as her little brain attempted to devote resources

dok je njen mozak posvećivao resurse

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

osećanju bola i patnje i iznenađenja

koje je upravo iskusila,

ili razmišljanju o novo-otkrivenom identitetu jednoroga.

or contemplating her new-found identity as a unicorn.

And the latter won.

Instead of crying or ceasing our play,

Potonji je pobedio na kraju.

Umesto da zaplače i prekine naše igranje,

instead of waking my parents,

umesto da probudi moje roditelje,

with all the negative consequences for me,

sa svim negativnim posledicama po mene,

a smile spread across her face

umesto toga osmeh se raširio njenim licem

and she scrambled back up onto the bunk bed

i uspentrala se nazad na krevet sa svom gracioznošću bebe jednoroga...

with all the grace of a baby unicorn --

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

with one broken leg.

sa jednom slomljenom nogom.

What we stumbled across

Na šta smo naleteli

at this tender age of just five and seven --

u tom nežnom dobu od samo pet i sedam -

we had no idea at the time --

tada nismo imali pojma -

was was going be at the vanguard of a scientific revolution

je bilo nešto što će biti avangarda naučne revolucije

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

koja će se odigrati dve decenije kasnije u načinu na koji shvatamo ljudski mozak.

We had stumbled across something called positive psychology,

Naleteli smo na ono što se zove pozitivistička psihologija,

which is the reason I'm here today

koja je razlog što sam ja danas ovde

and the reason that I wake up every morning.

i razlog zbog koga se budim svakog jutra.

When I started talking about this research

Kada sam počinjao da pričam o ovim istraživanjima

outside of academia, with companies and schools,

izvan akademskih krugova, u kompanijama i školama,

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

prvo što su mi rekli je da nikad

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

ne počinjem predavanja grafikom.

Prvo što želim da uradim je da počnem predavanje grafikom.

This graph looks boring,

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

Ovaj grafik izgleda dosadno,

ali onje razlog mog uzbuđenja i ustajanja svako jutro.

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

A on nema značaj, to su lažni podaci.

What we found is --

Ono što smo otkrili -

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Kada bih dobio ovakve podatke proučavajući vas koji sedite ovde,

because there's a trend there,

bio bih oduševljen,

and that means that I can get published,

jer očigledno postoji trend na tom grafiku

which is all that really matters.

što znači da se moj rad može objaviti,

što je jedino stvarno važno.

There is one weird red dot above the curve,

Činjenica da postoji jedna crvena tačka iznad krive,

there's one weirdo in the room --

postoji jedan čudak u prostoriji -

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

znate ko ste, video sam Vas malopre -

that's no problem.

to nije problem.

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

To nije problem, kao što većina vas zna,

jer mogu jednostavno da obrišem tu tačku.

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

Mogu da je obrišem jer je ona očigledno greška pri merenju.

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

A znamo da je to greška pri merenju

jer kvari moje podatke.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

So one of the first things we teach people

Jedna od prvih stvari koje učimo ljude

in economics, statistics, business and psychology courses

u kursevima o ekonomiji i statistici i poslovanju i psihologiji

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

je kako, na statistički pravilan način, eliminisati čudake.

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

Kako eliminišemo izuzetke

u traganju za linijom najboljeg poklapanja?

Which is fantastic if I'm trying to find out

Što je izvanredno ako me zanima

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

koliko Advila bi prosečna osoba trebalo da uzima - dva.

But if I'm interested in your potential,

Ali ako sam zainteresovan za potencijal, za vaš potencijal,

or for happiness or productivity or energy or creativity,

ili za sreću ili produktivnost

ili energiju ili kreativnost,

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

mi stvaramo kult prosečnosti putem nauke.

If I asked a question like,

Kada bih postavio pitanje poput,

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

koliko brzo dete uči da čita u učionici?

scientists change the answer to

naučnici menjaju odgovor u "Koliko brzo prosečno dete

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

nauči da čita u toj učionici?"

and we tailor the class towards the average.

a potom usmeravamo razred pravo ka proseku.

Ako se nađete ispod proseka na krivoj,

If you fall below the average,

then psychologists get thrilled,

to oduševljava psihologe,

jer to znači da ste ili depresivni ili imate nekakav poremećaj,

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

ili sa malo sreće oba.

or hopefully both.

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

Mi se nadamo da su oba jer je naš poslovni model,

if you come into a therapy session with one problem,

ako nam dođete sa jednim problemom,

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

želimo biti sigurni da ćete izaći znajući da imate 10,

so you keep coming back.

kako biste nastavili da dolazite iz dana u dan.

We'll go back into your childhood if necessary,

Ako treba vratićemo se u vaše detinjstvo,

but eventually we want to make you normal again.

ipak naš cilj je da vas ponovo učinimo normalnim.

But normal is merely average.

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

Ali normalno je naprosto prosečno.

Ono što ja i pozitivistička psihologija zastupamo

we will remain merely average.

je da proučavanjem nečega što je samo prosečno,

Then instead of deleting those positive outliers,

mi ostajemo samo prosečni.

Stoga umesto da brišem te pozitivne neprilagođene,

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

ja dolazim u društvenu grupu poput ove

and say, why?

i kažem, zašto?

Why are some of you high above the curve

Zašto su neki od vas toliko iznad krive

in terms of intellectual, athletic, musical ability,

po pitanju intelektualnih, atletskih, muzičkih sposobnosti,

creativity, energy levels,

resiliency in the face of challenge, sense of humor?

kreativnosti, nivoa energije,

vaše odlučnosti pri suočavanju sa izazovom, vašeg smisla za humor?

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

Štagod da je, umesto da vas obrišem, ja želim da vas proučavam.

Because maybe we can glean information,

Zato što možda možemo prikupiti informacije -

not just how to move people up to the average,

ne samo kako podići ljude ka proseku,

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

već kako podići celokupan prosek

u našim firmama i školama širom sveta.

The reason this graph is important to me

Razlog zbog kojeg mi je ovaj grafik važan

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

je, kada uključim vesti, čini mi se da većina informacija

in fact it's negative.

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

nije pozitivna, već zapravo negativna.

Većina je o ubistvima, korupciji, bolestima, prirodnim katastrofama,

And very quickly, my brain starts to think

Veoma brzo moj mozak počinje da misli

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

da je to tačan odnos negativnog i pozitivnog u svetu.

This creates "the medical school syndrome."

To stvara nešto

During the first year of medical training,

što se zove sindrom medicinske škole -

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

ako znate ljude koji su išli u medicinsku školu,

tokom prve godine medicinske obuke,

suddenly you realize you have all of them.

dok čitate spisak raznih simptoma i bolesti,

(Laughter)

iznenada shvatate da ih imate sve.

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

Imam zeta po imenu Bobo - što je priča sama po sebi.

Bobo married Amy the unicorn.

Bobo se oženio sa jednorogom Ejmi.

Bobo called me on the phone --

Bobo me je pozvao telefonom

(Laughter)

from Yale Medical School,

sa Medicinske škole na Jejlu,

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

i Bobo je rekao: "Šone, imam lepru."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Which, even at Yale, is extraordinarily rare.

Što je, čak i na Jejlu, izuzetna retkost.

But I had no idea how to console poor Bobo

No, nisam imao nikakvu ideju kako da utešim jadnog Boboa

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

koji je upravo preboleo čitavu nedelju menopauze.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Vidite, otkrivamo da nas ne uobličuje prvenstveno stvarnost,

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

već je uobličuju sočiva kroz koja vaš mozak posmatra svet.

Ako možemo promeniti sočiva, ne samo da možemo promeniti svoju sreću,

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

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

možemo istovremeno promeniti svaki pojedinačni obrazovni ili poslovni ishod.

Prijavio sam se na Harvard kao izazov.

I applied to Harvard on a dare.

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

Nisam očekivao da upadnem, moja porodica nije imala novca za koledž.

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

Dobivši vojnu stipendiju dve nedelje kasnije, dozvolili su mi da odem.

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

Iznenada, nešto što nije bilo ni mogućnost postalo je stvarnost.

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

Pri odlasku, pretpostavljao sam da će i svi ostali to smatrati privilegijom,

that they'd be excited to be there.

Even in a classroom full of people smarter than you,

da će biti uzbuđeni što su tamo.

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

Čak i u učioici punoj ljudi pametnijih od sebe,

bio bi srećan samo što si u toj učionici, što sam ja osećao.

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

Ali tamo sam otkrio

when I graduated after my four years

mada se neki tako osećaju,

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

kada sam diplomirao nakon četiri godine

i proveo sledećih osam godina živeći u studentskom domu -

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

Harvard me je zamolio; nisam bio taj momak.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

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

Vršio sam savetovanje studenata kroz teške četiri godine.

And in my research and my teaching,

U svojim istraživanjima i podučavanju sam otkrio

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

da ovi studenti, ma koliko bili srećni

with their original success of getting into the school,

sa svojim prvobitnim uspehom pri upisu u školu,

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

dve nedelje kasnije fokus njihovog mozga nije bio na privilegiji što su tamo,

nor on their philosophy or physics,

ili filozofiji ili fizici.

but on the competition, the workload,

Njihov mozak je bio fokusiran na konkurenciju, obaveze,

the hassles, stresses, complaints.

muke, stresove, žalbe.

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

Prvi put tamo, ušao sam u brucošku trpezariju,

što su moji prijatelji iz Vejka u Teksasu, gde sam odrastao -

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

znam da su neki od vas čuli za Vejko.

I know some of you know this.

Prilikom posete, razgledali bi,

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

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

rekli bi: "Ova brucoška trpezarija izgleda kao nešto

iz Hogvortsa iz filma Hari Poter," što je istina.

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

Ovo je Hogvorts iz filma "Hari Poter", a to je Harvard.

And when they see this,

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

I kada to vide,

kažu: "Zašto gubiš vreme proučavajući sreću na Harvardu?

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

Zaista, zbog čega student Harvarda ima

da bude nesrećan?"

Embedded within that question

Utisnut u to pitanje

is the key to understanding the science of happiness.

je ključ za razumevanje nauke o sreći.

Ono što to pitanje pretpostavlja

Because what that question assumes

je da naš spoljašnji svet predviđa nivoe naše sreće,

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

dok u stvarnosti, znajući sve o vašem spoljnom svetu,

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

mogu predvideti svega 10 posto vaše dugoročne sreće.

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

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

90 posto vaše dugoročne sreće

ne predviđa vaš spoljn svet,

već način na koji vaš mozak obrađuje svet.

but by the way your brain processes the world.

And if we change it,

I ako promenimo,

if we change our formula for happiness and success,

ako promenimo formulu za sreću i uspeh,

možemo promeniti način

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

kojim potom utičemo na stvarnost.

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

Otkrili smo da je svega 25 posto uspeha na poslu

predviđeno IQ-om

75 percent of job successes

75 posto uspeha na poslu

are predicted by your optimism levels, your social support

određuju vaši nivoi optimizma, vaša društvena podrška

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

i vaša sposobnost da shvatate stres kao izazov umesto kao pretnju.

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

Razgovarao sam sa izuzetno prestižnim internatom u Novoj Engleskoj,

and they said, "We already know that.

i oni su rekli: "To već znamo.

Svake godine pored nastave, imamo i nedelju zdravlja.

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

I zaista smo uzbuđeni.

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

Ponedeljkom uveče nam vodeći svetski ekspert

govori o adolescentskoj depresiji.

will speak about adolescent depression.

Tuesday night it's school violence and bullying.

Utorak veče je školsko nasilje i maltretiranje.

Sredom su poremećaji u ishrani.

Wednesday night is eating disorders.

Četvrtkom je upotreba opojnih droga.

Thursday night is illicit drug use.

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

Petkom pokušavamo da odlučimo između rizičnog seksa i sreće."

(Smeh)

(Laughter)

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

Rekao sam: "To je petak veče većine ljudi."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

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

Drago mi je da vam se dopalo, njima se nije uopšte.

Silence on the phone.

Tišina na telefonu.

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

U tišinu sam rekao: "Rado bih govorio u vašoj školi,

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

ali čisto da znate to nije nedelja zdravlja, to je nedelja bolesti

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

Istakli ste sve negativne stvari koje mogu da se dese,

but not talked about the positive."

ali niste govorili o pozitivnim."

The absence of disease is not health.

Nedostatak bolesti nije zdravlje.

Here's how we get to health:

Evo kako dolazimo do zdravlja:

We need to reverse the formula for happiness and success.

moramo da promenimo formulu za sreću i uspeh.

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

Zadnje tri godine, proputovao sam 45 različitih zemalja,

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

radeći sa školama i kompanijama

usred ekonomskog usporavanja.

And I found that most companies and schools

Otkrio sam da većina kompanija i škola

follow a formula for success, which is this:

primenjuje formulu za uspeh, koja glasi:

ako napornije radim, biću uspešniji.

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

A ako sam uspešniji, biću srećniji.

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

That undergirds most of our parenting and managing styles,

To prožima naše stilove roditeljstva, i upravljanja,

načine kojima vodimo svoje ponašanje.

the way that we motivate our behavior.

To je naučno neispravno i nazadno iz dva razloga.

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

Every time your brain has a success,

Prvo, svaki put kada vaš mozak ostvari uspeh,

you just changed the goalpost of what success looked like.

vi samo promenite granicu uspeha.

Imate dobre ocene, morate da imate još bolje,

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

upisali ste se u dobru školu, upisujete se u još bolju,

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

imate dobar posao, morate imati još bolji,

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

ostvarili ste prodajnu kvotu, promenićemo vam prodajnu kvotu.

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

Ako je sreća suprotno od uspeha, vaš mozak nikada ne stiže tamo.

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

Kao društvo smo pomerili sreću

izvan sopstvenog spoznajnog vidika.

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

Zato što smatramo da moramo biti uspešni,

kako bismo bili srećniji.

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

Pravi problem je što naši mozgovi rade suprotnim redosledom.

then we'll be happier.

But our brains work in the opposite order.

Ako možete povisiti nečiji nivo pozitivnosti u sadašnjosti,

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

tada njihov mozak oseća nešto što zovemo prednost u sreći,

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

tj. vaš mozak u pozitivnom stanju

which is your brain at positive performs significantly better

je značajno učinkovitiji

nego u negativnom, neutralnom ili stresnom stanju.

than at negative, neutral or stressed.

Vaša inteligencija, kreativnost, vaši nivoi energije rastu.

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

Zapravo, otkrili smo

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

da se svaki pojedinačni poslovni rezultat unapređuje.

Vaš mozak u pozitivnom je 31 procenat produktivniji

Your brain at positive is 31% more productive

than your brain at negative, neutral or stressed.

nego u negativnom, neutralnom ili stresnom stanju.

37 procenata ste bolji u prodaji.

You're 37% better at sales.

Doctors are 19 percent faster, more accurate

Doktori su 19 procenata brži, precizniji

at coming up with the correct diagnosis

u postavljanju tačne dijagnoze

when positive instead of negative, neutral or stressed.

kada su pozitivni umesto negativni, neutralni ili u stresu.

Which means we can reverse the formula.

To znači da možemo promeniti formulu.

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

Ako možemo da pronađemo način da budemo pozitivni u sadašnjosti

then our brains work even more successfully

onda naši mozgovi rade još uspešnije

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

jer smo sposobni da radimo napornije, brže i pametnije.

We need to be able to reverse this formula

Treba da smo sposobni da izmenimo ovu jednačinu

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

kako bismo otpočeli da uviđamo koliko su zapravo naši mozgovi sposobni.

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

Zato što dopamin, koji preplavljuje vaš sistem

has two functions.

kada ste pozitivni, ima dve funkcije.

Not only does it make you happier,

Ne samo da vas čini srećnijima,

it turns on all of the learning centers in your brain

nego uključuje sve centre učenja vašeg mozga

omogućavajući vam da se prilagodite svetu na drugačiji način.

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

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

Otkrili smo načine za treniranje mozga

da bude sposoban da postane pozitivniji.

to be able to become more positive.

U svega dvominutnom vremenskom razmaku tokom 21 uzastopnog dana,

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

možemo reprogramirati vaš mozak

we can actually rewire your brain,

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

omogućavajući mu da radi

optimističnije i uspešnije.

We've done these things in research now

To smo uradili u istraživanjima

u svakoj kompaniji sa kojom sam sarađivao,

in every company that I've worked with,

dali smo im da 21 dan za redom zapisuju

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

tri nove stvari za koje su zahvalni.

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

I na kraju,

njihov mozak počinje da usvaja šablon

And at the end of that,

their brain starts to retain a pattern

skeniranja sveta, ne za negativne, već prvo za pozitivne stvari.

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

Pisanjem o pozitivnom iskustvu tokom zadnjih 24 sata

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

omogućavate vašem mozgu da ga ponovo proživi.

Vežba uči vaš mozak važnosti vašeg ponašanja.

allows your brain to relive it.

Meditacija omogućava vašem mozgu

Exercise teaches your brain that your behavior matters.

da preboli društveni deficit pažnje koji već dugo stvaramo

We find that meditation allows your brain

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

obavljanjem više poslova odjednom

i omogućava našim mozgovima da se skoncentrišu na tekući problem.

by trying to do multiple tasks at once

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

Nasumični činovi dobrote su svesni činovi dobrote.

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

Govorimo ljudima da, kada otvore svoj sandučić

napišu jedan pozitivan imejl

We get people, when they open up their inbox,

hvaleći nekoga ili se zahvaljujući nekome.

to write one positive email

praising or thanking somebody in their support network.

Čineći takve aktivnosti

i vežbajući vaš mozak poput svojih tela,

And by doing these activities

otkrili smo da možemo promeniti jednačinu za sreću i uspeh,

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

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

i usput, ne samo stvoriti male talase pozitivnosti,

već izazvati pravu revoluciju.

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

Mnogo vam hvala.

but a real revolution.

Thank you very much.
