Why you should listen

Derek Sivers is best known as the founder of CD Baby. A professional musician since 1987, he started CD Baby by accident in 1998 when he was selling his own CD on his website, and friends asked if he could sell theirs, too. CD Baby was the largest seller of independent music on the web, with over $100M in sales for over 150,000 musician clients.

In 2008, Sivers sold CD Baby to focus on his new ventures to benefit musicians, including his new company, MuckWork, where teams of efficient assistants help musicians do their "uncreative dirty work."

Everyone, please think

2000
تکایە هەموتان، بیر لە گەورەترین
ئامانجتان بکەنەوە.
00:17
of your biggest personal goal.
1
2000
3000
لە ڕاستیدا دەتوانن چرکەیەک وەرگرن.
هەست بەوە بکەن تا فێری بن.
00:20
For real -- you can take a second. You've got to feel this to learn it.
2
5000
3000
00:23
Take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal, okay?
3
8000
3000
چەند چرکەیەک وەرگرن و بیر لە
گەورەترین ئامانجتان بکەنەوە، باشە؟
00:26
Imagine deciding right now
4
11000
2000
خەیاڵ بکەن ئێستا لەناکاو ئەوە دەکەن.
00:28
that you're going to do it.
5
13000
2000
خەیاڵ بکەن کە بە کەسێک دەڵێن
ئەمڕۆ بەنیازیت چی بکەیت.
00:30
Imagine telling someone that you meet today what you're going to do.
6
15000
3000
00:33
Imagine their congratulations
7
18000
2000
خەیاڵی پیرۆزباییەکانیان بکەن،
00:35
and their high image of you.
8
20000
2000
و وێنەی بەرزی تۆ لای ئەوان.
00:37
Doesn't it feel good to say it out loud?
9
22000
2000
هەستێکی خۆش نییە بە دەنگی بەرز بیڵێیت؟
00:39
Don't you feel one step closer already,
10
24000
3000
هەست ناکەن هەنگاوێک نزیکتر بویتنەوە،
وەک ئەوەی دەبێتە بەشێک لە کەسایەتیتان؟
00:42
like it's already becoming part of your identity?
11
27000
3000
باشە، هەواڵێکی ناخۆش پێویستە
دەمتان بە داخراوی بهێڵنەوە،
00:45
Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut,
12
30000
3000
00:48
because that good feeling
13
33000
2000
لەبەر ئەو هەستە خۆشە
ئێستا وادەکات کەمتر حەز
بە ئەنجامدانی بکەن.
00:50
now will make you less likely to do it.
14
35000
3000
تاقیکردنەوە دەروونزانیەکان سەلماندویانە
00:53
Repeated psychology tests have proven
15
38000
2000
ئاشکرا کردنی ئامانجەکەت
ئەگەری هاتنەدی کەمتر دەکات.
00:55
that telling someone your goal
16
40000
2000
00:57
makes it less likely to happen.
17
42000
2000
00:59
Any time you have a goal,
18
44000
2000
هەرکاتێک ئامانجتان هەبوو،
هەندێک هەنگاو هەیە پێویستە بیکەن،
01:01
there are some steps that need to be done, some work that needs to be done
19
46000
2000
هەندێک کار بکەن تا بەدەستی بینن.
01:03
in order to achieve it.
20
48000
2000
01:05
Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you had actually done the work.
21
50000
3000
بەشێوەیەکی ئاسایی: تا کارەکە
ئەنجام نەدەن، دڵ ئارام نابێت.
01:08
But when you tell someone your goal and they acknowledge it,
22
53000
3000
كاتێك ئامانجەکەت لای کەسێک
ئاشکرا دەکەیت و دانی پێدادەنێت،
01:11
psychologists have found that it's called a "social reality."
23
56000
3000
دەروونزانەکان دەریانخستوە کە
"پێی ده‌وترێ "ڕاستی کۆماڵایەتی.
01:14
The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it's already done.
24
59000
3000
مێشک جۆرێک لە فێل دەکات تا هەست بکەی
کە ئەوە ئەنجام دراوە.
01:17
And then, because you felt that satisfaction,
25
62000
2000
لەبەر ئەوەی دواتر هەست بەو دڵخۆشیە دەکەیت،
01:19
you're less motivated to do
26
64000
2000
پاڵنەرت بۆ ئەنجامدانی کارە
دژوارە ڕاستەقینەکە کەمتر دەبێت.
01:21
the actual hard work necessary. (Laughter)
27
66000
3000
(پێکەنین)
ئەمە پێچەوانەی ئەم پەندەیە
01:24
So this goes against the conventional wisdom
28
69000
2000
کە ئامانجەکانمان بە هاوڕێکانمان
بڵێین، ڕاستە؟
01:26
that we should tell our friends our goals, right --
29
71000
2000
01:28
so they hold us to it.
30
73000
3000
ئەوان هانمان دەدەین
تا کارەکە ئەنجام بدەین.
با سەیری بەڵگەکان بکەین.
01:31
So, let's look at the proof.
31
76000
2000
01:33
1926, Kurt Lewin, founder of social psychology,
32
78000
2000
کورت لوین، دامەزرێنەری
دەروونزانی کۆمەڵایەتی ساڵی ١٩٢٦،
01:35
called this "substitution."
33
80000
2000
"ئەم حاڵەتەی ناونا "جێگرەوە.
01:37
1933, Vera Mahler found,
34
82000
2000
ویرە ماهلەر لە 1933 شتێکی
سەلماندن کە دواتر دانیپێندرا:
01:39
when it was acknowledged by others, it felt real in the mind.
35
84000
3000
مێشک ئەم هەستە بە ڕاستی وەردەگرێت.
01:42
1982, Peter Gollwitzer wrote a whole book about this
36
87000
3000
پیتەر گۆلویتزەر لە 1982،
کتێبێکی تەواوی لەسەر نوسیوە،
01:45
and in 2009,
37
90000
2000
و لە ٢٠٠٩،
چەند تاقیکردنەوەیەکی نوێی
بڵاو کردەوە.
01:47
he did some new tests that were published.
38
92000
2000
01:49
It goes like this:
39
94000
2000
بەم شێوەیە:
١٦٣ خەڵک بەسەر چوار تاقیکردنەوەی جیا.
01:51
163 people across four separate tests --
40
96000
3000
01:54
everyone wrote down their personal goal.
41
99000
3000
هەرکەسەو ئامانجی کەسی خۆی نووسی.
دواتر نیوەیان لە ژوورەکە
ئامانجەکەیان بڵاوکردەوە،
01:57
Then half of them announced their commitment to this goal to the room,
42
102000
3000
02:00
and half didn't.
43
105000
2000
و نیوەشیان نەیانكرد.
02:02
Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work
44
107000
2000
دواتر هەمویان ٤٥ دەقەیان بۆ ئیشکردن پێدرا
02:04
that would directly lead them towards their goal,
45
109000
3000
کە ڕێگە بۆ ئامانجەکەیان خۆش دەکات،
بەڵام پێیان وترا کە دەتوانن
لە هەرکاتێک بوەستن.
02:07
but they were told that they could stop at any time.
46
112000
2000
02:09
Now, those who kept their mouths shut
47
114000
2000
ئێستا، ئەوانەی بێدەنگ بوون
02:11
worked the entire 45 minutes, on average,
48
116000
3000
تەواوی ٤٥ دەقەکە ئیشیان کرد،
02:14
and when asked afterwards,
49
119000
2000
دواتر کە پرسیاریان لێکرا،
وتیان هەستیانکرد ڕێگەیەکی
درێژتریان هەیە بۆ بەردەوامبوون
02:16
said that they felt that they had a long way to go still to achieve their goal.
50
121000
3000
بۆ بەدەست
هینانی ئامانجەکە.
02:19
But those who had announced it
51
124000
2000
بەڵام ئەوانەی بڵاویانکردەوە
02:21
quit after only 33 minutes, on average,
52
126000
3000
تەنها بۆ ماوەی ٣٣ دەقە، بەردەوامبوون،
دواتر کە پرسیاریان لێکرا،
02:24
and when asked afterwards,
53
129000
2000
هەستیان کرد لە بە دەستهێنانی
ئامانجەکەیان زیاتر نزیکن.
02:26
said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.
54
131000
2000
02:28
So, if this is true,
55
133000
2000
ئەگەر ئەوە ڕاست بێ، چی بکەین؟
02:30
what can we do?
56
135000
2000
باشە، دەبێت زاڵبیت بەسەر فریودانی
ئاشکرا کردنی ئامانجەکەت.
02:32
Well, you could resist the temptation
57
137000
2000
02:34
to announce your goal.
58
139000
2000
02:36
You can delay the gratification
59
141000
2000
دەبێت رازیبوون و سەرسامی
دەوروبەر بە پلانەکانمان پشتگوێ بخەین،
02:38
that the social acknowledgement brings,
60
143000
2000
02:40
and you can understand that your mind
61
145000
2000
دەبێت بزانین کە هەندێک جار مێشکمان
ئەنجامدان و قسە کردن جیا ناکاتەو.
02:42
mistakes the talking for the doing.
62
147000
3000
بەڵام گەر پێویست بوو
قسە لەسەر ئامانجێکت بکەیت،
02:45
But if you do need to talk about something,
63
150000
2000
02:47
you can state it in a way
64
152000
2000
دەبێت بە شێوەیەک بێت کە لە
هەستی قایلبوون و ڕازیبوون دوور بێت،
02:49
that gives you no satisfaction,
65
154000
2000
02:51
such as, "I really want to run this marathon,
66
156000
2000
وەک، "بەڕاستی دەمەوێت لەم
ماڕاسۆنە بەشدار بم،
02:53
so I need to train five times a week
67
158000
2000
پێویستە هەفتەی پێنج جار مەشق بکەم
02:55
and kick my ass if I don't, okay?"
68
160000
3000
"و شەقێک لەخۆم دەدەم ڕاهێنان نەکەم، باشە؟
ئامادەبووان، لە داهاتوو گەر خوتخوتەی
ئاشکرا کردنی ئامانجەکەتان هەبوو
02:58
So audience, next time you're tempted to tell someone your goal,
69
163000
3000
چی دەڵێن؟
03:01
what will you say? (Silence)
70
166000
2000
(بێدەنگی)
03:03
Exactly, well done.
71
168000
3000
ئافه‌رین! دەستان خۆش.
(پێکەنین)
03:06
(Applause)
