Tout a commencé un jour dans un avion, alors que j'allais à TED,
00:28
And it all started one day
on a plane, on my way to TED,
on a plane, on my way to TED,

Et dans le siège à côté de moi
00:32
And in the seat next to me
was a high school student, a teenager,
was a high school student, a teenager,
4

il y avait une lycéenne, une adolescente,
00:37
and she came from a really poor family.
5
13000
2007
et elle venait d'une famille vraiment pauvre.
Et elle voulait faire quelque chose de sa vie,
00:39
And she wanted to make
something of her life,
something of her life,
6
15483
2493
00:42
and she asked me a simple little question.
7
18000
2039
et elle m'a posé une simple petite question.
"Qu'est ce qui amène à la réussite?", m'a t'elle demandé
00:44
She said, "What leads to success?"
8
20063
1945
Et je me suis vraiment senti mal,
00:46
And I felt really badly,
9
22032
1379
car je ne pouvais lui fournir une bonne réponse.
00:47
because I couldn't give her a good answer.
10
23435
2461
Donc je sors de l'avion, et je viens à 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!
of a room of successful people!
12
28000
3730
Et je pense, bon sang, je suis au milieu d'une pièce remplie de gens qui ont réussi!
Pourquoi ne pas leur demander ce qui a contribué à leur réussite,
00:55
So why don't I ask them
what helped them succeed,
what helped them succeed,
13
31754
2611
et je le transmettrai aux enfants?
00:58
and pass it on to kids?

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Richard St. John - Marketer, success analystA 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.
