Secrets of success in 8 words, 3 minutes | Richard St. John

Translator: Sophia Mwema Reviewer: Nelson Simfukwe

Huu ni mjadala wa kweli wa masaa mawili nilioutoa kwa wanafunzi wa sekondari,

unakatiza kwa dakika tatu.

Na yote yalianza siku moja nikiwa kwenye ndege, nikielekea TED,

miaka saba iliyopita.

Na katika siti iIiyopo pembeni yangu alikuwapo mwanafunzi wa sekondari, kijana,

alitokea katika familia masikini sana.

This is really a two-hour presentation I give to high school students,

Na alitaka kujitengenezea maisha,

cut down to three minutes.

And it all started one day on a plane, on my way to TED,

akaniuliza swali rahisi.

Alisema, "Ni nini husababisha mafanikio?"

seven years ago.

And in the seat next to me was a high school student, a teenager,

Na nilijisikia vibaya sana,

kwa sababu sikuweza kumpa jibu zuri.

Hivyo nilitoka kwenye ndege, na kuja TED.

and she came from a really poor family.

Na nikafikiri, lahaula, niko miongoni mwa watu wenye mafanikio!

And she wanted to make something of her life,

and she asked me a simple little question.

Kwa nini nisiwaulize wao nini kiliwasaidia kufanikiwa,

She said, "What leads to success?"

na kuwaelimisha watoto?

And I felt really badly,

because I couldn't give her a good answer.

Hivyo, miaka saba, mahojiano 500 baadaye,

So I get off the plane, and I come to TED.

nitawaambia nini hasa hupelekea mafanikio

And I think, jeez, I'm in the middle of a room of successful people!

yanayowasukuma wanaTED.

So why don't I ask them what helped them succeed,

Na jambo la kwanza ni shauku.

and pass it on to kids?

Freeman Thomas anasema, "Ninaendeshwa na shauku yangu."

So here we are, seven years, 500 interviews later,

WanaTED hufanya yote kwa sababu ya upendo; hawafanyi kwa ajili ya fedha.

and I'm going to tell you what really leads to success

Carol Coletta anasema, "Ningelipa mtu kufanya ninachofanya. "

and makes TEDsters tick.

Na jambo la kushangaza ni:

And the first thing is passion.

ukifanya kwa upendo, pesa huja hata hivyo.

Freeman Thomas says, "I'm driven by my passion."

Kazi! Rupert Murdoch aliniambia, "Yote ni kazi ngumu.

TEDsters do it for love; they don't do it for money.

Hakuna kitu kinakuja kwa urahisi. Lakini ninaifurahia kazi yangu. "

Carol Coletta says, "I would pay someone to do what I do."

Amesema furaha? Rupert? Ndiyo!

And the interesting thing is:

(Vicheko)

if you do it for love, the money comes anyway.

WanaTED hufurahia kazi zao. Na hufanya kazi kwa bidii.

Work! Rupert Murdoch said to me, "It's all hard work.

Niligundua, sio workaholics. Ni workafrolics.

Nothing comes easily. But I have a lot of fun."

(Vicheko)

Vyema!

(Makofi)

Did he say fun? Rupert? Yes!

Alex Garden anasema, "Ili kufanikiwa, weka jitihada katika kitu kimoja

(Laughter)

TEDsters do have fun working. And they work hard.

na kuwa mtaalamu kwenye hilo."

Hakuna mazingaombwe; ni mazoezi, mazoezi, mazoezi.

I figured, they're not workaholics. They're workafrolics.

Na ni lengo.

Norman Jewison aliniambia,

(Laughter)

Good!

"Nadhani huhusiana na kujishughulisha na jambo moja. "

(Applause)

Alex Garden says, "To be successful, put your nose down in something

Na kukazana!

Daudi Gallo anasema, "Jisukume.

and get damn good at it."

There's no magic; it's practice, practice, practice.

Kimwili, kiakili, unapaswa kujisukuma, kujisukuma, kujisukuma."

Unahitaji kujisukuma kutoka katika aibu na mashaka.

And it's focus.

Norman Jewison said to me,

Goldie Hawn anasema, "Siku zote nilikuwa na mashaka.

"I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing."

Sikuwa na ujuzi wakutosha; Sikukuwa na kipaji cha kutosha.

And push!

Sikufikiri ningeweza kufanikiwa."

David Gallo says, "Push yourself.

Daima si rahisi kujisukuma,

Physically, mentally, you've got to push, push, push."

na ndiyo maana tuna mama.

You've got to push through shyness and self-doubt.

(Vicheko)

(Makofi)

Goldie Hawn says, "I always had self-doubts.

Frank Gehry aliniambia,

I wasn't good enough; I wasn't smart enough.

"Mama yangu alinisukuma."

I didn't think I'd make it."

(Vicheko)

Tumikia!

Now it's not always easy to push yourself,

Sherwin Nuland anasema, "Ilikuwa ni fursa kutumikia kama daktari."

and that's why they invented mothers.

(Laughter)

Watoto wengi wanataka kuwa mamilionea.

(Applause)

Frank Gehry said to me,

Jambo la kwanza ninalosema ni:

"Sawa, vizuri huwezi kujihudumia mwenyewe;

"My mother pushed me."

unapaswa kutumikia wengine kitu cha thamani.

(Laughter)

Serve!

Kwa sababu hiyo ndiyo njia watu hupata utajiri. "

Sherwin Nuland says, "It was a privilege to serve as a doctor."

Mawazo!

MwanaTED Bill Gates anasema, "Nilikuwa na wazo:

A lot of kids want to be millionaires.

kuanzisha kampuni ya kwanza ya programu za mikro-kompyuta."

The first thing I say is:

"OK, well you can't serve yourself;

Ningependa kusema ni wazo zuri sana.

you've got to serve others something of value.

Na hakuna miujiza katika ubunifu wa mawazo mapya --

Because that's the way people really get rich."

ni kufanya baadhi ya mambo rahisi sana.

Ideas!

TEDster Bill Gates says, "I had an idea:

Na ninatoa ushahidi mwingi.

Stahimili!

founding the first micro-computer software company."

Joe Kraus anasema,

"Ustahimilifu ni sababu namba moja ya mafanikio yetu. "

I'd say it was a pretty good idea.

Unahitaji kustahimili unapofeli. Unahitaji kustahimili misukosuko!

And there's no magic to creativity in coming up with ideas --

it's just doing some very simple things.

Ambayo ni "Kukosolewa, Kukataliwa, Watu ovyo na Presha."

And I give lots of evidence.

(Vicheko)

Persist!

Joe Kraus says,

"Persistence is the number one reason for our success."

Hivyo, jibu kwa swali hili ni rahisi:

You've got to persist through failure. You've got to persist through crap!

Lipa dola 4,000 na uje kwenye TED.

(Vicheko)

Which of course means "Criticism, Rejection, Assholes and Pressure."

Au ukishindwa hilo, fanya mambo haya nane - na niamini,

(Laughter)

haya ni mambo makuu nane ambayo huleta mafanikio.

So, the answer to this question is simple:

Asanteni wanaTED kwa mahojiano yenu yote!

(Makofi)

Pay 4,000 bucks and come to TED.

(Laughter)

Or failing that, do the eight things -- and trust me,

these are the big eight things that lead to success.

Thank you TEDsters for all your interviews!

(Applause)
