5 ways to kill your dreams | Bel Pesce

Prevodilac: Ljiljana Ikodinovic Lektor: Mile Živković

Protekle dve godine sam posvetila razumevanju

I dedicated the past two years to understanding

how people achieve their dreams.

načina na koje ljudi ostvaruju svoje snove.

When we think about the dreams we have,

Kada mislimo o snovima koje imamo,

and the dent we want to leave in the universe,

i tragu koji želimo da ostavimo u univerzumu,

u oči upada veliko preklapanje

it is striking to see how big of an overlap there is

between the dreams that we have, and projects that never happen.

između snova koje imamo i projekata koji se nikada ne dogode.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

So I'm here to talk to you today

Tako sam ja danas ovde da govorim

about five ways how not to follow your dreams.

o pet načina na koje ne treba da ostvarujete svoje snove.

Prvi: vera u uspeh preko noći.

One: Believe in overnight success.

You know the story, right?

Poznata vam je ta priča, zar ne?

The tech guy built a mobile app and sold it very fast for a lot of money.

Tip napravi aplikaciju za mobilne uređaje i preko noći je proda za velike pare.

You know, the story may seem real, but I bet it's incomplete.

Znate, priča zvuči realno, ali mogu da se kladim da je nepotpuna.

If you go investigate further,

Ukoliko se dalje raspitate,

the guy has done 30 apps before

tip je pre toga napravio 30 aplikacija,

and he has done a master's on the topic, a PhD.

stekao master na tu temu, doktorat.

He has been working on the topic for 20 years.

Radio je na tom problemu 20 godina.

This is really interesting.

Ovo je zaista interesantno.

I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success.

Ja sam sama u Brazilu deo priče koju ljudi smatraju uspehom preko noći.

I come from a humble family,

Potičem iz skromne porodice,

and two weeks before the deadline to apply for MIT,

i dve nedelje pre krajnjeg roka za prijavu na MIT

I started the application process.

započela sam proces prijave.

And, voilà! I got in.

I, voala! Primljena sam.

People may think it's an overnight success,

Ljudi mogu pomisliti da je to uspeh preko noći,

but that only worked because for the 17 years prior to that,

ali uspela sam samo zato što sam tokom 17 prethodnih godina

I took life and education seriously.

život i obrazovanje shvatala ozbiljno.

Your overnight success story is always a result

Vaš uspeh preko noći je uvek rezultat

of everything you've done in your life through that moment.

svega što se u životu radili do tog momenta.

Two: Believe someone else has the answers for you.

Drugi: vera da će vam neko drugi pružiti odgovore.

Constantly, people want to help out, right?

Ljudi stalno žele da pomognu, zar ne?

All sorts of people: your family, your friends, your business partners,

Razni ljudi: vaša porodica, prijatelji, poslovni saradnici,

svi oni imaju stav o tome kojim putem treba da krenete:

they all have opinions on which path you should take:

"And let me tell you, go through this pipe."

"Daj da ti kažem, idi ovuda!"

But whenever you go inside,

Ali kojim god putem da krenete, naići ćete na druge puteve koje morate da odaberete.

there are other ways you have to pick as well.

And you need to make those decisions yourself.

I te odluke morate da donosite sami.

No one else has the perfect answers for your life.

Niko drugi nema savršene odgovore za vaš život.

And you need to keep picking those decisions, right?

A vi morate da nastavite da donosite odluke, zar ne?

The pipes are infinite and you're going to bump your head,

Ti putevi su beskonačni i svakako ćete udariti glavom,

and it's a part of the process.

i to je deo procesa.

Three, and it's very subtle but very important:

Treći je vrlo suptilan i jako važan:

Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed.

Odlučite da se skrasite kada je rast zagarantovan.

So when your life is going great,

Kada vam u životu ide odlično,

you have put together a great team,

oformili se odličan tim,

and you have growing revenue, and everything is set --

prihod vam raste, sve je sređeno -

time to settle.

vreme je da se skrasite.

Kada sam objavila prvu knjigu,

When I launched my first book,

zaista sam jako mnogo radila kako bih je distribuirala svuda u Brazilu.

I worked really, really hard to distribute it everywhere in Brazil.

I tako ju je preuzelo više od tri miliona ljudi,

With that, over three million people downloaded it,

over 50,000 people bought physical copies.

preko 50,000 ljudi je kupilo štampano izdanje.

When I wrote a sequel, some impact was guaranteed.

Kada sam napisala nastavak, uspeh je bio zagarantovan.

Even if I did little, sales would be OK.

Čak i da na tome nisam mnogo radila, prodaja bi bila ok.

But OK is never OK.

Ali ok nije nikada ok.

When you're growing towards a peak,

Kada rastete prema vrhu,

you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak.

morate da radite više nego ikada i pronađete sebi drugi vrh.

Maybe if I did little,

Da sam malo radila, knjigu bi možda pročitalo 200 000 ljudi,

a couple hundred thousand people would read it,

and that's great already.

i to je već fantastično.

But if I work harder than ever,

Ali ako radim više nego ikada,

I can bring this number up to millions.

mogu da taj broj podignem na milione.

That's why I decided, with my new book, to go to every single state of Brazil.

Zato sam odlučila da sa svojom knjigom odem u sve delove Brazila.

And I can already see a higher peak.

I već mogu da vidim viši vrh.

There's no time to settle down.

Nema vremena za usporavanje.

Fourth tip, and that's really important:

Četvrti savet, i on je zaista važan:

Believe the fault is someone else's.

verujte da je neko drugi kriv.

I constantly see people saying,

Stalno srećem ljude koji govore:

"Imao sam sjajnu ideju, ali ni jedan investitor

"Yes, I had this great idea, but no investor had the vision to invest."

nije bio vizionar pa da u nju investira"

"O, ja sam napravio odličan proizvod,

"Oh, I created this great product,

but the market is so bad, the sales didn't go well."

ali tržište je toliko loše da prodaja nije išla dobro".

Or, "I can't find good talent; my team is so below expectations."

Ili: "Ne mogu da pronađem talentovane ljude;

moj tim je toliko ispod očekivanja".

If you have dreams,

Ukoliko imate snove,

it's your responsibility to make them happen.

vaša je odgovornost da ih ostvarite.

Yes, it may be hard to find talent.

Da, možda je teško pronaći talentovane ljude.

Yes, the market may be bad.

Da, možda je tržište loše.

But if no one invested in your idea,

Ali ukoliko niko nije investirao u vašu ideju,

if no one bought your product,

ukoliko niko nije kupio vaš proizvod,

for sure, there is something there that is your fault.

zasigurno je tu nešto i vaša greška.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Definitely.

Sigurno.

You need to get your dreams and make them happen.

Morate da se prihvatite svojih snova i ostvarite ih.

And no one achieved their goals alone.

I niko nije ostvario svoje ciljeve sam.

But if you didn't make them happen, it's your fault and no one else's.

Ali ukoliko ih vi ne ostvarite, to je vaša a ne tuđa krivica.

Be responsible for your dreams.

Budite odgovorni za svoje snove.

I poslednji savet, koji je takođe jako važan:

And one last tip, and this one is really important as well:

Believe that the only things that matter are the dreams themselves.

verujte da su jedino snovi zaista važni.

Once I saw an ad, and it was a lot of friends,

Jednom sam videla reklamu, u kojoj je bila grupa prijatelja,

they were going up a mountain, it was a very high mountain,

penjali su se uz planinu, i to vrlo visoku planinu,

and it was a lot of work.

i to je bilo teško.

You could see that they were sweating and this was tough.

Mogli ste videti kako se znoje i da im nije lako.

And they were going up, and they finally made it to the peak.

Penjali su se, i konačno stigli do vrha.

Of course, they decided to celebrate, right?

Naravno da su odlučili da proslave, zar ne?

I'm going to celebrate, so, "Yes! We made it, we're at the top!"

Proslaviću,

"Bravo! Uspeli smo, na vrhu smo!"

Two seconds later, one looks at the other and says,

Dve sekunde kasnije, jedan pogleda ostale i kaže:

"OK, let's go down."

"Dobro, 'ajmo sad dole".

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Life is never about the goals themselves.

U životu nikada nisu važni sami ciljevi.

Life is about the journey.

Život je putovanje.

Yes, you should enjoy the goals themselves,

Da, treba da uživate u ciljevima,

but people think that you have dreams,

ali ljudi veruju da imate snove,

and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams,

i kada uspete da ih dosegnete

it's a magical place where happiness will be all around.

da je to neko magično mesto puno sreće.

But achieving a dream is a momentary sensation,

Ali ostvarivanje snova je trenutna senzacija

a život nije.

and your life is not.

The only way to really achieve all of your dreams

Jedini način na koji zaista možete da ostvarite sve svoje snove

is to fully enjoy every step of your journey.

je da u potpunosti uživate u svakom momentu njihovog ostvarivanja.

That's the best way.

To je najbolji način.

And your journey is simple -- it's made of steps.

A vaš je put jednostavan, sačinjen je od niza koraka.

Some steps will be right on.

Neki koraci će biti na pravom mestu.

Sometimes you will trip.

Ponekada ćete se saplesti.

If it's right on, celebrate, because some people wait a lot to celebrate.

Ukoliko je korak dobar, slavite, jer neki ljudi na to dugo čekaju.

And if you tripped, turn that into something to learn.

A ukoliko se sapletete, iskoristite to da nešto naučite.

If every step becomes something to learn or something to celebrate,

Ukoliko tokom svakog koraka nešto naučite ili proslavite,

you will for sure enjoy the journey.

sigurno je da ćete uživati tokom putovanja.

So, five tips:

Dakle, pet saveta:

Believe in overnight success,

verujte u uspeh preko noći,

believe someone else has the answers for you,

verujte da će vam neko drugi pružiti odgovore,

believe that when growth is guaranteed, you should settle down,

verujte da treba da se skrasite kada je uspeh zagarantovan

believe the fault is someone else's,

verujte da je neko drugi kriv,

and believe that only the goals themselves matter.

i verujte da ništa sem ciljeva nije važno.

Believe me, you do that, and you will destroy your dreams.

Verujte da ćete na taj način uništiti svoje snove.

(Aplauz)

Thank you.

Hvala.

Thanks.
