what this would feel like.
תמיד תהיתי איך זה ירגיש.
הכי גרועה בחיי בתחום קריירה
I got the worst career advice of my life.
את העבודה שלך עכשיו
you like the work you're doing now.
from living in Spain for a while,
חשבתי, "זה פנטסטי.
I thought, "This is fantastic.
big impact on the world."
And within about two months,
I had this strange urge
היה לי את הדחף המוזר
through the monitor of my computer.
that all the competitors in our space
שכל המתחרים בחלל שלנו
this sage advice to build up my resume.
לבנות את הרזומה שלי.
to jump out of and change things up,
ולשנות את העניינים,
from Warren Buffett, and he said,
הוא אמר,
is the same as saving up sex for old age."
זה כמו לשמור יחסי מין לעת זיקנה."
and that was all I needed.
and I left with one intention:
ועזבתי עם מטרה אחת:
That's how tough it was.
עד כדי כך זה היה קשה.
It didn't matter what it was.
לא משנה מה זה יהיה.
that I wasn't alone:
of the people around
that Deloitte has done with their studies.
what is it that sets these people apart,
world-changing work,
the other 80 percent
doing this inspiring work,
עבודה מעוררת השראה,
on purpose and career and all this,
really for the selfish reason of --
that I couldn't not do,
more and more people started to ask me,
התחילו לשאול אותי
Can we sit down for lunch?"
נוכל לשבת לצהריים?
But I would have to warn them,
אבל נאלצתי להזהיר אותם
my quit rate was also 80 percent.
שיעור התתפתרות שלי היה 80%.
80 percent would quit their job
80% היו מתפטרים
that I had any special magic.
וזה לא שהיה לי איזה קסם מיוחד
one simple question.
the work that you're doing?"
את העבודה שאתם עושים?
told me I'm supposed to."
people around us
that someone tells them to climb,
against the wrong wall,
these people and saw this problem,
וראיתי את אותה בעיה
create a community,
could feel like they belonged
to do things differently,
where that was encouraged,
מקום שמעודדים את זה
what I now call Live Your Legend,
לחיות את האגדה שלך,
I noticed a framework
שמתי לב לתבנית
world-changers have in common,
משני עולמות, יש במשותף
or if you're just, you know,
the bakery down the street.
that embodies who you are.
so we can use them as a lens
כך שנוכל להשתמש בהם כעדשות
and hopefully the rest of our life.
passionate work framework
של תשתית עבודה מרגשת
and understanding yourself,
what you're looking for,
is going to do this for us.
on passion and purpose and career.
ומטרה בקריירה
a required double major,
picking out a dorm room TV set
לבחור טלוויזיה למעונות
and your area of study.
it's on us to figure that out,
we need a way to navigate through this.
בתוך כל הדבר הזה
finding out what our unique strengths are.
להבין מהם החוזקות היחודיות שלנו
loving to do no matter what,
ואוהבים לבצע לא משנה מה
the things that people thank us for?
הדברים שאנשים מודים לנו עליהם?
is a book and also an online tool.
what it is that you're naturally good at.
שבאים לכם בטבעיות
or our hierarchy for making decisions?
לקבלת החלטות?
our family, health,
all this stuff?
to make these decisions,
לקבל את ההחלטות האלו
to some cause we don't give a shit about.
We learn things every day, every minute
כל יום, כל דקה
what we're terrible at.
paying attention to that
it's all for nothing.
every month of every year
just reflecting on what went right,
and what do I want to repeat,
ועל מה אני רוצה לחזור
as you see people, especially today,
בעיקר כיום
things where you say
שגורמים לי להגיד
I want to be like him."
Open up a journal.
that inspires you.
everything about their life,
this repository of things
and have a more passionate existence
ולהיות יותר נלהבים
to put these things together,
what success actually means to us,
of the compass, it's impossible.
we have that scripted life
going up this ladder to nowhere.
if anybody saw that,
אם מישהו ראה את זה
the big Wall Street banker CEO,
של וול סטרייט
Everyone's got a number,
they'll leave it all."
הם ישאירו את כולו
of most of the people
understanding what matters for them,
that doesn't mean anything to us,
חסר כל חשיבות עבורנו
said we're supposed to.
שאנו צריכים
the things that make us come alive.
שגורמים לנו לחיות
could come and hit you in the face,
יכלה להכות אתכם בפנים,
you might throw it away
a way of identifying it.
that's congruent with my strengths,
משהו שמקביל לחוזקות שלכם
I'm going to do something with it,
and try to make an impact with it.
and the movement we've built
והתנועה שנבנינו
this compass to identify,
and make a difference with."
ולייצר שינוי באמצעותו״
we're never going to find it,
בחיים לא נמצא את זה
this framework, this compass,
and that's not me up there --
וזה לא אני שם --
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.
עד שמשהו קם ועשה אותו
every new thing in the world,
it was a physical impossibility
גופנית זה בלתי אפשרי
in a foot race
16 people broke the four-minute mile.
שברו את מחסום 4 הדקות
that we think are impossible
בלתי אפשריים
waiting to be accomplished
your physical body and fitness
because we can control that.
you can run a mile or two,
or whatever it is,
מה שזה לא יהיה
into the rest of your world.
of this a little bit with my friends.
We go on physical adventures,
ואנו יוצאים להרפתקאות פיזיות
in a kind of precarious spot.
that same fear
Jaws 1, 2, 3 and 4 like six times
I can already feel it right now.
אני יכול לחוש את זה כבר עכשיו
it's fresh water, totally unfounded fear,
פחד בלתי מבוסס
I find myself on this tugboat
מצאתי את עצמי על גוררת
and people are getting sick on the boat,
ואנשים על הסירה מרגישים לא טוב
and I'm looking out the window
מסתכל מחוץ לחלון
I'm about to swim to my death.
across the Golden Gate.
might have done that before.
who had talked me into it,
ששכנע אותי לעשות זאת
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.
תעלה על אחד מ 20 הקייקים המלווים
why are they going to pick you
So thanks, that helps.
תודה, זה עזר
just have fun with this. Good luck."
and I felt this total feeling of calm,
היתה בי תחושת רוגע
Jonathan was 13 years old.
the ages of nine and 13.
your world differently
you could swim a mile and a half
שאתם מסוגלים לשחות מייל וחצי
from Alcatraz to San Francisco.
What would you have tried?
I get to Aquatic Park,
are already finished,
and they're all excited.
if anyone's ever swam in the Bay,
and I'm watching people finish.
צופה באנשים מסיימים
something didn't look right.

the same thing I was:
swim from Alcatraz.

and they're dragging him like this,
they walk a few more feet
insane show of victory I've ever seen.
הכי מטורפת שראיתי מימיי
and the energy on this guy
in his wheelchair.
going to be in 20 years?
do that, that he would die if tried that?
שהוא ימות אם ינסה?
you prove yourself wrong,
תוכיחו לעצמכם שאתם טועים
little incremental pushes
the fastest marathoner in the world,
to accomplish those,
with passionate people.

שחשבתם לבלתי אפשריים
with people already doing them.

לאן שאתה רוצה להיות בו.
to put in your corner.
and it's a proven fact.
with a bunch of cyclists,
רוכבי אופניים
around the track in a group,
in the group would cycle faster.
רכבו מהר יותר
in all kinds of walks of life since then,
and environment is everything.
because it can go both ways.
כי זה נכון לשני הכיוונים
who don't like the work they do,
את מקום העבודה שלהם
not in this room, but everywhere else,
אלא בכל שאר המקומות
from pursuing the things that matter to us
הדברים שחשובים לנו

והם כל כך רוצים לקרא לזה עסק

in Europe, all of them together.
How does this even exist?
by seeing this,
I decided, let's take it seriously.

trying to hound these guys,
ניסיתי לצוד את החבר׳ה האלו
and workouts, whatever it was.
מה שזה לא יהיה
of hanging around these people,
grew by 10 times.
it grew by 160 times.
from 158 countries
on a monthly basis.
that community of passionate folks
that I dreamed of
and this is why --
I knew nobody in this space,
that people could do this stuff,
שאנשים יכולים לעשות את זה
and everyone around me was doing it.
וכולם סביבי עשו את זה
from how could I possibly do this
השתנתה מאיך אני בכלל יכול לעשות את זה
that switch goes on in your head,
your standards go from here to here.
הסטנדרטים שלך נעים מכאן לכאן
You just need to change your surroundings.
רק צריך לשנות את הסובבים אותך
being around this whole group of people,
בחברת האנשים הזו
on the way to work, whatever it is.
מה שהיא לא תהיה
that inspires possibility.
נותנת השראה לאפשרויות
to spend together and plenty more.
in terms of these three pillars,
more than anything else.

שאתה לא יכול ללמוד על עצמך
you can't push your limits

or Steve Jobs, doing something crazy.
ולעשות משהו מטורף
that matters to you,
that only you can make.
he was a recovering lawyer,
something that mattered to him,
שהיתה חשובה לו
that I absolutely live by.
then they laugh at you,
until somebody did it.
who tell you it can't be done
שאומרים לכם שאי אפשר לעשות את זה
who inspire possibility,
השראה לאפשרויות
