2000
Minha grande ideia
00:17
is a very, very small idea
1
2000
2000
é uma ideia muito, muito pequena
00:19
that can unlock
2
4000
2000
que pode abrir caminho
00:21
billions of big ideas
3
6000
3000
para bilhões de grandes ideias
00:24
that are at the moment dormant inside us.
4
9000
3000
que estão dormentes em nosso corpo.
00:27
And my little idea that will do that
5
12000
2000
E minha pequena ideia que provocara isso
00:29
is sleep.
6
14000
2000
é o sono.
00:31
(Laughter)
7
16000
2000
(Risos)
00:33
(Applause)

This is a room of type-A women.
9
22000
3000
Este é um salão de mulheres do tipo A.
00:41
This is a room
10
26000
2000
Este é um salão
de mulheres que dormem pouco.
00:43
of sleep-deprived women.
11
28000
3000
00:46
And I learned the hard way,
12
31000
2000
E eu aprendi da maneira mais difícil
00:48
the value of sleep.
13
33000
2000
o valor do sono.
00:50
Two-and-a-half years ago,
14
35000
2000
Dois anos e meio atrás,
00:52
I fainted from exhaustion.
15
37000
2000
eu desmaiei de exaustão.
00:54
I hit my head on my desk. I broke my cheekbone,
16
39000
3000
Eu bati minha cabeça na mesa,
eu quebrei o osso da bochecha,
00:57
I got five stitches on my right eye.
17
42000
3000
eu levei cinco pontos no meu olho direito.
01:00
And I began the journey
18
45000
2000
E eu comecei a jornada
01:02
of rediscovering the value of sleep.
19
47000
3000
de redescobrir o valor do sono.
01:05
And in the course of that,
20
50000
2000
E enquanto isso,
01:07
I studied,
21
52000
2000
eu estudava,
01:09
I met with medical doctors, scientists,
22
54000
2000
eu me encontrava com médicos, cientistas,
01:11
and I'm here to tell you
23
56000
2000
e estou aqui para lhes dizer
01:13
that the way to a more productive,
24
58000
3000
que o caminho para uma vida
mais produtiva,
01:16
more inspired, more joyful life
25
61000
2000
mais inspirada, mais alegre
01:18
is getting enough sleep.
26
63000
3000
é dormir o suficiente.
01:21
(Applause)
27
66000
5000
(Aplausos)
01:26
And we women are going to lead the way
28
71000
3000
E nós mulheres lideraremos essa nova rota
01:29
in this new revolution, this new feminist issue.
29
74000
3000
nessa revolução,
essa nova questão feminista.
01:33
We are literally going to sleep our way to the top, literally.
30
78000
3000
Nós vamos literalmente dormir
para chegar ao topo.
01:36
(Laughter)
31
81000
2000
(Risos)
01:38
(Applause)
32
83000
5000
(Aplausos)
01:43
Because unfortunately
33
88000
2000
Porque, infelizmente,
01:45
for men,
34
90000
2000
para os homens
01:47
sleep deprivation has become a virility symbol.
35
92000
3000
a privação do sono se tornou
um símbolo de virilidade.
01:51
I was recently having dinner with a guy
36
96000
2000
Eu estive recentemente
jantando com um cara
01:53
who bragged that he had only gotten
37
98000
2000
que se gabava de ter dormido apenas
01:55
four hours sleep the night before.
38
100000
2000
quatro horas na noite anterior.
01:57
And I felt like saying to him -- but I didn't say it --
39
102000
3000
E eu quis dizer a ele,
mas eu não disse,
02:00
I felt like saying, "You know what?
40
105000
2000
eu quis dizer: "Quer saber?
02:02
If you had gotten five,
41
107000
2000
Se você tivesse dormido cinco,
02:04
this dinner would have been a lot more interesting."
42
109000
3000
esse jantar teria sido
muito mais interessante."
02:07
(Laughter)
43
112000
3000
(Risos)
02:10
There is now a kind of sleep deprivation
44
115000
2000
Há um tipo de competição para
02:12
one-upmanship.
45
117000
2000
privação do sono.
Especialmente aqui em Washington,
se tentar um encontro no café da manhã,
02:14
Especially here in Washington, if you try to make a breakfast date,
46
119000
3000
02:17
and you say, "How about eight o'clock?"
47
122000
2000
e diz: "Que tal às oito da manhã?"
02:19
they're likely to tell you, "Eight o'clock is too late for me,
48
124000
2000
vão lhe dizer:
"Oito é muito tarde para mim,
02:21
but that's okay, I can get a game of tennis in
49
126000
2000
mas tudo bem, posso jogar Tênis e
02:23
and do a few conference calls and meet you at eight."
50
128000
3000
fazer algumas audioconferências
e encontrá-la às oito."
02:26
And they think that means
51
131000
2000
E eles acreditam que isso mostra
02:28
that they are so incredibly busy and productive,
52
133000
3000
que eles são tão incrivelmente
ocupados e produtivos,
02:31
but the truth is they're not,
53
136000
3000
mas a verdade é que não são,
02:34
because we, at the moment,
54
139000
2000
porque, atualmente,
02:36
have had brilliant leaders
55
141000
2000
tivemos líderes brilhantes
02:38
in business, in finance, in politics,
56
143000
3000
nos negócios, nas finanças, na política,
02:41
making terrible decisions.
57
146000
3000
que tomaram decisões terríveis.
02:44
So a high I.Q.
58
149000
2000
Então um alto QI
02:46
does not mean that you're a good leader,
59
151000
3000
não prova que você é um bom líder,
02:49
because the essence of leadership
60
154000
2000
porque a essência da liderança
02:51
is being able to see the iceberg
61
156000
2000
é ser capaz de ver o iceberg
02:53
before it hits the Titanic.
62
158000
3000
antes que ele atinja o Titanic.
02:56
And we've had far too many icebergs
63
161000
3000
E já tivemos icebergs demais
02:59
hitting our Titanics.
64
164000
2000
atingindo nossos Titanics.
03:01
In fact, I have a feeling
65
166000
2000
Na verdade, eu tenho um pressentimento
03:03
that if Lehman Brothers
66
168000
2000
que se os Irmãos Lehman
03:05
was Lehman Brothers and Sisters,
67
170000
2000
fossem Irmãos e Irmãs Lehman,
03:07
they might still be around.
68
172000
2000
eles ainda estariam por aí.
03:09
(Applause)
69
174000
3000
(Aplausos)
03:12
While all the brothers were busy
70
177000
2000
Enquanto todos os irmãos estavam ocupados
03:14
just being hyper-connected 24/7,
71
179000
3000
apenas estando super conectados 24/7,
03:17
maybe a sister would have noticed the iceberg,
72
182000
3000
talvez uma irmã perceberia o iceberg,
03:20
because she would have woken up from a seven-and-a-half- or eight-hour sleep
73
185000
4000
porque ela acordaria de um sono
de sete horas e meia ou oito
03:24
and have been able to see
74
189000
2000
e seria capaz de ver
03:26
the big picture.
75
191000
2000
o panorama.
03:28
So as we are facing
76
193000
2000
Então à medida que enfrentamos
03:30
all the multiple crises
77
195000
2000
todas as múltiplas crises,
03:32
in our world at the moment,
78
197000
3000
em nosso mundo,
03:35
what is good for us on a personal level,
79
200000
3000
o que é bom para nós a nível pessoal,
03:38
what's going to bring more joy, gratitude,
80
203000
3000
o que trará mais alegria, gratidão,
03:41
effectiveness in our lives
81
206000
2000
eficácia às nossas vida
03:43
and be the best for our own careers
82
208000
3000
e será melhor para nossas carreiras,
03:46
is also what is best for the world.
83
211000
3000
é também o que será melhor para o mundo.
03:49
So I urge you
84
214000
3000
Então eu os encorajo
03:52
to shut your eyes
85
217000
2000
a fechar os olhos
03:54
and discover the great ideas
86
219000
2000
e descobrir as grandes ideias
03:56
that lie inside us,
87
221000
2000
que estão dentro de nós,
03:58
to shut your engines and discover the power of sleep.
88
223000
3000
desliguem seus motores
e descubram o poder do sono.
04:01
Thank you.
89
226000
2000
Obrigada.
04:03
(Applause)
90
228000
2000
