ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Richard St. John - Marketer, success analyst
A self-described average guy who found success doing what he loved, Richard St. John spent more than a decade researching the lessons of success -- and distilling them into 8 words, 3 minutes and one successful book.

Why you should listen

Richard St. John was on his way to the TED conference when a girl on the plane asked him, "What really leads to success?" Even though he had achieved some success, he couldn't explain how he did it. So he spent the next ten years researching success and asking over 500 extraordinarily successful people in many fields what helped them succeed. After analyzing, sorting, and correlating millions of words of research, and building one of the most organized databases on the subject of success, he discovered "The 8 Traits Successful People Have in Common" and wrote the bestseller 8 To Be Great.

In his books and talks,he shares a wealth of wisdom from the world's most successful people -- knowledge that can help others succeed in their own way, whether it's escaping poverty, building a business, raising a family, or changing the world.

Madalas ay dalawang oras ang haba ng presentasyon na ito pag ibinigay ko sa mga mag-aaral ng high school
00:24
This is really a two-hour presentation
I give to high school students,
0
31
3290
pinaikli ko ito sa tatlong minuto lang.
00:27
cut down to three minutes.
1
3345
1251
Nagsimula ang lahat habang ako'y nasa eroplano papuntang TED
00:28
And it all started one day
on a plane, on my way to TED,
2
4620
2641
pitong taon na ang nakalilipas.
00:31
seven years ago.
3
7285
1294
At nakaupo sa tabi ko
00:32
And in the seat next to me
was a high school student, a teenager,
4
8603
4373
ay isang mag-aaral ng high school, isang teenager
00:37
and she came from a really poor family.
5
13000
2007
at mula siya sa isang talagang mahirap na pamilya.
Nais niyang maging makabuluhan ang buhay niya,
00:39
And she wanted to make
something of her life,
6
15483
2493
00:42
and she asked me a simple little question.
7
18000
2039
kaya't tinanong niya ako.
Sabi niya, "Ano ang kailangan ko gawin para magtagumpay sa buhay?
00:44
She said, "What leads to success?"
8
20063
1945
At sumama ang loob ko,
00:46
And I felt really badly,
9
22032
1379
dahil wala akong mahusay na sagot na maibibigay sa kanya.
00:47
because I couldn't give her a good answer.
10
23435
2461
Kaya sa pagbaba ko mula sa eroplano, at pagpunta ko sa TED,
00:49
So I get off the plane, and I come to TED.
11
25920
2056
00:52
And I think, jeez, I'm in the middle
of a room of successful people!
12
28000
3730
naisip ko, onga pala, ako'y napaliligiran ng mga taong nagtagumpay na sa buhay!
Bakit hindi ko kaya sila tanungin kung ano ang nakatulong sa kanilang pagtagumpay,
00:55
So why don't I ask them
what helped them succeed,
13
31754
2611
at ituro ito sa kabataan?
00:58
and pass it on to kids?
14
34389
1714
So narito tayo, pagkatapos ng pitong taon at limang daan na interview,
01:00
So here we are, seven years,
500 interviews later,
15
36817
3609
at sasabihin ko sa inyo kung ano ang patungo sa tagumpay
01:04
and I'm going to tell you
what really leads to success
16
40450
2940
at kung ano ang nagpapatakbo sa mga TED-sters.
01:07
and makes TEDsters tick.
17
43414
1365
Ang pinakauna ay ang pusok ng damdamin.
01:09
And the first thing is passion.
18
45367
1609
Sabi ni Freeman Thomas, "Pinatatakbo ako ng pusok ng aking damdamin."
01:11
Freeman Thomas says,
"I'm driven by my passion."
19
47787
2532
Nagpapatuloy ang mga TED-sters sa ginagawa nila dahil sa pagmamahal, hindi dahil sa pera.
01:14
TEDsters do it for love;
they don't do it for money.
20
50763
2460
Sabi ni Carol Coletta, "Handa akong bayaran ang taong kaya ang trabaho ko."
01:17
Carol Coletta says, "I would pay
someone to do what I do."
21
53247
3484
At ang pinakanakatatawag pansin ay,
01:20
And the interesting thing is:
22
56755
1411
kung ginawa mo ang isang bagay dahil mahal mo ito, darating din ang pera.
01:22
if you do it for love,
the money comes anyway.
23
58190
2191
Sipag! Sabi ni Rupert Murdoch sa akin, "Puro sipag ang kailangan."
01:24
Work! Rupert Murdoch said
to me, "It's all hard work.
24
60866
3110
01:28
Nothing comes easily.
But I have a lot of fun."
25
64000
3083
Walang madali. Pero nasisiyahan ako.
Sinabi niya bang nasisiyahan? Rupert? Oo!
01:31
Did he say fun? Rupert? Yes!
26
67107
2870
Nasisiyahan ang mga TED-sters sa trabaho nila. At masipag sila.
01:34
(Laughter)
27
70001
1476
01:35
TEDsters do have fun working.
And they work hard.
28
71501
2746
Naisip ko, hindi sila lulong sa pagtrabaho, pinaghahalo nila ang trabaho at laro
01:38
I figured, they're not workaholics.
They're workafrolics.
29
74271
2953
01:41
(Laughter)
30
77248
1590
Okey! "Kung gusto mong magtagumpay, pag-igihan mo ang pansin sa isang bagay
01:42
Good!
31
78862
1057
01:43
(Applause)
32
79943
1001
01:44
Alex Garden says, "To be successful,
put your nose down in something
33
80968
3346
at sobrang galingan mo."
01:48
and get damn good at it."
34
84338
1246
Walang magik, puro ensayo, ensayo, ensayo.
01:49
There's no magic;
it's practice, practice, practice.
35
85608
2842
At mahalaga rin ang pokus. Sabi ni Norman Jewison sa akin,
01:52
And it's focus.
36
88474
1019
01:53
Norman Jewison said to me,
37
89517
1734
"Kailangangang i-pokus mo ang sarili mo sa isang bagay."
01:55
"I think it all has to do
with focusing yourself on one thing."
38
91275
2992
At magsumikap! Sabi ni David Gallo, "Magsumikap ka
01:58
And push!
39
94773
1065
02:00
David Gallo says, "Push yourself.
40
96235
1988
sa pisikal at mental na aspeto, kailangangang magsumikap, magsumikap, magsumikap."
02:02
Physically, mentally,
you've got to push, push, push."
41
98247
2642
Kailangan lamapasan mo ang pagkamahiyain at pagduda sa sarili.
02:04
You've got to push through shyness
and self-doubt.
42
100913
2611
Sabi ni Goldie Hawn. "Lagi akong may pag-aalinlangan.
02:07
Goldie Hawn says,
"I always had self-doubts.
43
103548
2428
02:10
I wasn't good enough;
I wasn't smart enough.
44
106000
2096
Hindi sapat ang galing ko, hindi sapat ang talino ko.
Hindi ko inakalang kakayanin ko."
02:12
I didn't think I'd make it."
45
108120
1543
Hindi laging madaling magsumikap,
02:14
Now it's not always easy to push yourself,
46
110264
2039
kaya naimbento ang mga nanay. (Tawanan)
02:16
and that's why they invented mothers.
47
112327
2088
02:18
(Laughter)
48
114439
1000
02:19
(Applause)
49
115439
1561
02:21
Frank Gehry said to me,
50
117000
2976
Frank Gehry – Sabi ni Frank Gehry sa akin,
02:24
"My mother pushed me."
51
120000
1370
"Tinulak ako ng nanay ko."
02:25
(Laughter)
52
121394
1214
Magsilbi! Sabi ni Sherwin Nulang, "Isang pribilehiyo ang magsilbi bilang duktor."
02:26
Serve!
53
122632
1016
02:28
Sherwin Nuland says,
"It was a privilege to serve as a doctor."
54
124427
3039
Ngayon, marami sa kabataan ang nagsasabi sa akin na nais nila maging milyonaryo.
02:32
A lot of kids want to be millionaires.
55
128093
2110
At ang unang sinasabi ko sa kanila ay,
02:34
The first thing I say is:
56
130227
1250
OK, hindi mo maaring pagsilbihan ang sarili mo,
02:35
"OK, well you can't serve yourself;
57
131501
1902
kailangan may halaga kang maibahagi sa iba.
02:37
you've got to serve others
something of value.
58
133427
2237
Sa ganoong paraan yumayaman ang tao."
02:39
Because that's the way
people really get rich."
59
135688
2537
Mga ideya. Sabi ni TED-ster Bill Gates, "Nagkaroon ako ng ideya –
02:43
Ideas!
60
139074
1025
02:44
TEDster Bill Gates says, "I had an idea:
61
140123
2853
02:47
founding the first micro-computer
software company."
62
143000
2976
ang pagtatag ng unang kumpanya ng micro-computer software.'
02:50
I'd say it was a pretty good idea.
63
146000
1976
Masasabi kong maganda ang ideya niya.
02:52
And there's no magic to creativity
in coming up with ideas --
64
148000
2976
at walang magik sa pagiging malikhain sa pag-iisip ng mga ideya,
02:55
it's just doing some very simple things.
65
151000
2335
nasa paggawa ito ng mga simpleng bagay-bagay.
At marami akong binibigay na katibayan.
02:57
And I give lots of evidence.
66
153359
1617
Magtiyaga. Sabi ni Joe Kraus,
02:59
Persist!
67
155291
1114
03:00
Joe Kraus says,
68
156799
1001
Ang pagtitiyaga ang unang dahilan ng aming tagumpay."
03:01
"Persistence is the number
one reason for our success."
69
157824
2594
Kailangan kang magtiyaga kahit na mabigo. Kailangan magtiyaga para malampasan ang hirap!
03:04
You've got to persist through failure.
You've got to persist through crap!
70
160832
3542
Ibig sabihin "Pagpuna, Pagtanggi, mga Gago at Pighati."
03:08
Which of course means "Criticism,
Rejection, Assholes and Pressure."
71
164398
3515
(Tawanan)
03:11
(Laughter)
72
167937
2766
Kaya, simple lang ang sagot sa tanong na ito:
03:14
So, the answer to this question is simple:
73
170727
3719
Magbayad ng apat na libong dolyar at pumunta sa TED.
03:18
Pay 4,000 bucks and come to TED.
74
174470
2125
03:20
(Laughter)
75
176619
1193
O, kung hindi maaari, gawin ang walong bagay – at maniwala ka,
03:21
Or failing that, do
the eight things -- and trust me,
76
177836
2738
ito ang walong malaking mga bagay na tutungo sa tagumpay.
03:24
these are the big eight things
that lead to success.
77
180598
3220
03:27
Thank you TEDsters
for all your interviews!
78
183842
2719
Maraming salamat mga TED-sters para sa lahat ng inyong interview!
03:30
(Applause)
