what this would feel like.
عمّا سيكون عليه هذا الشعور.
I got the worst career advice of my life.
نصيحة مهنية في حياتي.
you like the work you're doing now.
عملك الذي تقوم به أم لا.
from living in Spain for a while,
I thought, "This is fantastic.
"فورتشن 500" وقلت لنفسي: هذا رائع!
big impact on the world."
And within about two months,
ولكن في غضون شهرين،
I had this strange urge
صباحًا من كل يوم تنتابني رغبة غريبة
through the monitor of my computer.
that all the competitors in our space
الشركات المنافسة في مجال عملنا،
this sage advice to build up my resume.
بشأن بناء سيرتي الذاتية.
to jump out of and change things up,
لأتخلص من ذلك الوضع،
from Warren Buffett, and he said,
وارن بافيت، حيث قال:
is the same as saving up sex for old age."
يشبه تأجيل ممارسة الجنس لحين الهرم"
and that was all I needed.
وكان ذلك كل ما أحتاجه.
and I left with one intention:
الشركة وفي ذهني أمر واحد:
That's how tough it was.
كان الأمر بتلك الصعوبة.
It didn't matter what it was.
مهما يكن ذلك الأثر.
that I wasn't alone:
of the people around
that Deloitte has done with their studies.
إليه دراسات ديلويت.
what is it that sets these people apart,
world-changing work,
يحدثون تغييرًا في العالم.
the other 80 percent
doing this inspiring work,
الذين يقومون بأعمال ملهمة،
on purpose and career and all this,
وغايات الحياة وإلى ما هنالك.
really for the selfish reason of --
that I couldn't not do,
المهنة المثالية بالنسبة لي،
more and more people started to ask me,
من الناس يسألونني:
Can we sit down for lunch?"
هل يمكن أن نتحدث؟"
But I would have to warn them,
لكنني كنت أحذرهم.
my quit rate was also 80 percent.
ترك العمل 80% أيضًا.
80 percent would quit their job
يتركون عملهم،
that I had any special magic.
يتعلق بسحرٍ ما خاص بي.
one simple question.
the work that you're doing?"
told me I'm supposed to."
people around us
that someone tells them to climb,
لهم الآخرون أن يصعدوه،
against the wrong wall,
على الجدار الخاطئ،
these people and saw this problem,
الأشخاص ولمست هذه المشكلة،
create a community,
could feel like they belonged
to do things differently,
where that was encouraged,
ويحفزوا الآخرين
what I now call Live Your Legend,
"عش أسطورتك".
I noticed a framework
world-changers have in common,
الشغوفين بتغيير العالم.
or if you're just, you know,
أو كنت ذلك الشخص
the bakery down the street.
that embodies who you are.
so we can use them as a lens
والتي ستكون بمثابة العدسة
and hopefully the rest of our life.
passionate work framework
المكون من ثلاث خطوات،
and understanding yourself,
what you're looking for,
is going to do this for us.
on passion and purpose and career.
الشغف أو الغاية أو الهدف.
a required double major,
ذلك تخصصًا مطلوبًا من الكل.
picking out a dorm room TV set
جهاز تلفزيون لغرفة نومك،
and your area of study.
تخصصك أو مجال دراستك.
it's on us to figure that out,
we need a way to navigate through this.
وسبيل يمكننا من خلاله استكشاف ذلك.
finding out what our unique strengths are.
في تحديد نقاط قوتنا المميزة.
loving to do no matter what,
مهما كلف الأمر؛
the things that people thank us for?
الأشياء التي يشكرنا الآخرون عليها.
is a book and also an online tool.
وأداة عبر الإنترنت أيضًا،
what it is that you're naturally good at.
مواهبك ومهاراتك الطبيعية.
or our hierarchy for making decisions?
عملية اتخاذ القرار؟
our family, health,
بالعائلة؟ بالصحة؟
all this stuff?
to make these decisions,
بغية اتخاذ القرار الصائب.
to some cause we don't give a shit about.
لا تعنينا مطلقًا.
We learn things every day, every minute
ونتعلم منها كل يوم وكل دقيقة؛
what we're terrible at.
paying attention to that
it's all for nothing.
فإن ذلك سيضيع هباءً.
every month of every year
و في كل شهر من كل سنة،
just reflecting on what went right,
and what do I want to repeat,
وما الذي أود فعله من جديد؛
as you see people, especially today,
أشخاصًا، وخاصةً اليوم،
things where you say
I want to be like him."
أريد أن أكون مثله"
Open up a journal.
افتح دفترك،
that inspires you.
everything about their life,
this repository of things
and have a more passionate existence
لتصبح أكثر أهمية وشغفًا،
to put these things together,
what success actually means to us,
الحقيقي للنجاح بالنسبة لنا.
of the compass, it's impossible.
المختلفة من البوصلة،
we have that scripted life
نعيش حياة مخططة مسبقًا؛
going up this ladder to nowhere.
السلم الذي لا يقود إلى أي مكان.
if anybody saw that,
هل شاهده أحد منكم؟
the big Wall Street banker CEO,
المدير والشخصية الهامة في وول ستريت:
Everyone's got a number,
فكل شخص لديه رقم،
they'll leave it all."
فسيترك الأمر برمته"
of most of the people
understanding what matters for them,
لاستكشاف ما يهمهم بالفعل،
that doesn't mean anything to us,
على أشياء لا تعنيهم مطلقًا،
said we're supposed to.
إن عليهم فعل ذلك.
the things that make us come alive.
التي تحيينا من الداخل.
could come and hit you in the face,
you might throw it away
ولا تلقي إليه بالًا،
a way of identifying it.
that's congruent with my strengths,
شيء ينسجم مع نقاط قوتك،
I'm going to do something with it,
وأن تفعل شيئًا به،
and try to make an impact with it.
and the movement we've built
ولم يكن لهذه الحركة التي بدأناها
this compass to identify,
and make a difference with."
we're never going to find it,
فإنني لن أجده أبدًا،
this framework, this compass,
هذا الإطار، هذه البوصلة،
and that's not me up there --
وليس الأمر أنني أفعل المستحيل
and pushing our limits.
why people don't do things.
they can't do them,
tell them they can't do them.
or we never start in the first place.
until somebody did it.
إلى أن قام به أحد ما.
every new thing in the world,
it was a physical impossibility
أربع دقائق. كان من المستحيل
in a foot race
16 people broke the four-minute mile.
that we think are impossible
waiting to be accomplished
your physical body and fitness
because we can control that.
بإمكاننا التحكم بها.
you can run a mile or two,
or whatever it is,
into the rest of your world.
of this a little bit with my friends.
We go on physical adventures,
معًا في مغامرات رياضية.
in a kind of precarious spot.
مكان محفوف بالمخاطر،
من المياه الزرقاء العميقة.
that same fear
Jaws 1, 2, 3 and 4 like six times
الأربعة نحو 6 مرات،
I can already feel it right now.
إذا كان موحلًا،فإنني أذكر الإحساس تمامًا،
it's fresh water, totally unfounded fear,
ثمة خوف غير مبرر.
I find myself on this tugboat
نفسي على متن قارب
and people are getting sick on the boat,
القارب يشعرون بالغثيان،
and I'm looking out the window
وأنظر من النافذة،
I'm about to swim to my death.
across the Golden Gate.
might have done that before.
جربوا القيام بذلك بالفعل.
who had talked me into it,
الذي أقنعني بالذهاب إلى هناك.
and he could see the state I was in.
what's the worst that could happen?
You're not going to sink.
just hop on one of the 20 kayaks.
أحد قوارب النجاة العشرين؛
why are they going to pick you
So thanks, that helps.
شكرًا لك، ذلك مريح
just have fun with this. Good luck."
and I felt this total feeling of calm,
أُكلها، وغمرني شعور بالهدوء.
Jonathan was 13 years old.
في الثالثة عشرة من عمره.
the ages of nine and 13.
your world differently
you could swim a mile and a half
أن بإمكانك السباحة لميل ونصف،
from Alcatraz to San Francisco.
من ألكاتراز إلى سان فرانسيسكو.
What would you have tried?
ما الذي كنت ستجربه؟
I get to Aquatic Park,
وصلت إلى أكواتك بارك،
are already finished,
and they're all excited.
if anyone's ever swam in the Bay,
and I'm watching people finish.
وأنا أراقب الناس يقتربون من خط النهاية،
لم يكن على ما يرام.
something didn't look right.
before he slams his head back down.
أن يعود برأسه تحت الماء؛
were watching too,
الذين يتابعون المشهد،
the same thing I was:
swim from Alcatraz.
في التاسعة من السباحة من ألكاتراز.
run up and grab him,
and they're dragging him like this,
they walk a few more feet
insane show of victory I've ever seen.
مذهلة للنصر، لم أرها من قبل.
and the energy on this guy
يشع بها ذلك الطفل
in his wheelchair.
على كرسيه المدولب،
going to be in 20 years?
do that, that he would die if tried that?
وإنه سيموت إن فعل؟
you prove yourself wrong,
little incremental pushes
the fastest marathoner in the world,
to accomplish those,
with passionate people.
you don't think can be done
with people already doing them.
you spend the most time with."
الخمسة الذي يقضي معهم أكثر وقته"
in the history of the world
to where you want to be
إلى حيث تودّ أن تكون،
to put in your corner.
تختار وجودهم في حياتك؛
and it's a proven fact.
تلك حقيقة مثبتة.
with a bunch of cyclists,
على مجموعة من الدرّاجين،
around the track in a group,
الحلبة ضمن مجموعة،
in the group would cycle faster.
بسرعة أكبرعندما يكونون ضمن مجموعة.
in all kinds of walks of life since then,
منذ ذلك الوقت،
and environment is everything.
وأن البيئة هي كل شيء؛
because it can go both ways.
لأنها قد تدفعك باتجاهين متعاكسين.
who don't like the work they do,
not in this room, but everywhere else,
ليس في هذه الغرفة، بل في كل مكان،
from pursuing the things that matter to us
من تحقيق ما نصبو إليه؛
they poured their heart and soul into,
أو شغف شغل قلبه وروحه،
so badly want to call it a business,
بشدة أن يكون ذلك عمله ومهنته،
and it doesn't make a dime?
ولم يكسب منه قرشًا واحدًا؟
to build this Live Your Legend movement
في محاولة بناء حركة "عش أسطورتك"
cared about and that inspired them,
العمل الذي يلهمهم ويحبونه بالفعل،
three people paying attention,
my mother, father and my wife, Chelsea.
أمي، وأبي، وزوجتي تشلسي.
it grew at zero percent for four years,
نمو خلال أربع سنوات،
to meet some pretty interesting people
وبدأت ألتقي ببعض الأشخاص المميزين،
lifestyles of adventure,
مليئة بالإثارة والمغامرة،
and helped people in a meaningful way.
now, he has a family of eight,
عائلة من 8 أشخاص،
writes for twice a week.
in Europe, all of them together.
إلى أوروبا استمرت شهرًا.
How does this even exist?
كيف يمكن ذلك؟
by seeing this,
I decided, let's take it seriously.
قررت أن أعمل بجدية أكبر.
to spend my time,
trying to hound these guys,
and workouts, whatever it was.
ونمارس الرياضة، وغير ذلك.
of hanging around these people,
grew by 10 times.
بمقدار عشرة أضعاف.
it grew by 160 times.
تنامى بمقدار 160 ضعفًا.
from 158 countries
شخص من 158 دولة
on a monthly basis.
التي نقدمها بصورة شهرية.
that community of passionate folks
من الأفراد الشغوفين،
that I dreamed of
and this is why --
I knew nobody in this space,
أعرف أحدًا في هذا المجال،
that people could do this stuff,
وأن بإمكان أحد أن يقوم بهذا،
and everyone around me was doing it.
كل من حولي يقوم بذلك.
from how could I possibly do this
من "كيف يمكنني فعل ذلك"،
that switch goes on in your head,
your standards go from here to here.
معاييرك من هنا، إلى هنا.
You just need to change your surroundings.
عليك فقط تغيير محيطك.
being around this whole group of people,
أن أبقى برفقة هؤلاء الأشخاص،
كلما استطعت،
on the way to work, whatever it is.
في طريقي إلى العمل.
that inspires possibility.
to spend together and plenty more.
in terms of these three pillars,
من حيث تلك الركائز الثلاث،
more than anything else.
you can't learn about yourself.
you can't push your limits
and push that.
بالنسبة لك، ثم تغيير ذلك.
surround yourself with inspiring people
نفسك بأشخاص ملهمين،
who bring you down.
or getting in a car accident.
أو أن يقع معك حادث سير.
فهي تتعلق بنا بالكامل.
if we decide to do something about it.
لو أردنا فعل شيء حيال ذلك.
on a widespread level.
ينتشر على صعيد واسع النطاق.
reported for the first time
الأمريكية قد صرحت للمرة الأولى
had quit their jobs
من وظائفهم قد تجاوز عدد
but it's happened three months straight.
لكن الأمر تكرر لثلاثة شهور متتالية.
it's kind of a tough environment,
أننا نمر بأوقات عصيبة،
to this scripted life,
لهذا النمط المعلّب من الحياة،
say you're supposed to do,
and do the things that inspire them.
are waking up to this possibility,
إلى هذه الإمكانية،
possibility now is imagination.
what passion, what hobby.
أو ما هي هوايتك.
someone who is killing it knitting,
فستجد من يبرع فيها ويهواها،
to learn from the folks speaking,
أن نتعلم من المتحدثين،
on Live Your Legend every day,
في "عش أسطورتك" كل يوم،
are doing the extraordinary,
بأفعال غير اعتيادية،
or Steve Jobs, doing something crazy.
أو "ستيف جوبس"، أو أن تقوم بعمل خارق.
that matters to you,
that only you can make.
he was a recovering lawyer,
فقد كان محامي تعويضات،
something that mattered to him,
أمرًا كان يعنيه حقًا،
that I absolutely live by.
then they laugh at you,
ثم يسخرون منك ،
until somebody did it.
إلى أن قام أحد ما بفعله.
who tell you it can't be done
يقولون إن ذلك مستحيل،
who inspire possibility,
to show the world
can become that new normal.
to do the things that inspire them.
and make those discoveries.
وقم بتلك الاستكشافات.
of people love the work they do.
من الناس العمل الذي يمارسونه.
How would you treat the people around you?
كيف ستعامل الناس المحيطين بك؟
I have just one question to ask you guys,
question that matters.
you can't not do?
but for everybody around you,
بل من أجل كل من حولك أيضًا،
to change the world.
