what this would feel like.
chcel vedieť, aké to je.
I got the worst career advice of my life.
radu týkajúcu sa mojej kariéry.
máš rád prácu, ktorú robíš teraz.
you like the work you're doing now.
čo máš v životopise.“
zo Španielska, kde som chvíľu žil,
from living in Spain for a while,
I thought, "This is fantastic.
Myslel som si: „Toto je skvelé.
big impact on the world."
And within about two months,
A asi po 2 mesiacoch som si všimol,
I had this strange urge
som mal také divné nutkanie
through the monitor of my computer.
o monitor svojho počítača.
that all the competitors in our space
že všetci konkurenti v našom obore
this sage advice to build up my resume.
múdru radu, budovať si životopis.
to jump out of and change things up,
from Warren Buffett, and he said,
od Warrena Buffeta, ktorý povedal:
is the same as saving up sex for old age."
ako šetriť si sex na starobu.“
and that was all I needed.
and I left with one intention:
odchádzal som s jediným úmyslom:
That's how tough it was.
Také to bolo tvrdé.
It didn't matter what it was.
Nezaujímalo ma, čo to bude.
that I wasn't alone:
of the people around
je to asi inak,
that Deloitte has done with their studies.
výskumoch firma Deloitte.
what is it that sets these people apart,
čo odlišuje týchto ľudí,
prácu, ktorou menia svet,
world-changing work,
the other 80 percent
doing this inspiring work,
s ľuďmi s inšpirujúcou prácou,
on purpose and career and all this,
a o tomto všetkom,
really for the selfish reason of --
kvôli sebeckému dôvodu –
that I couldn't not do,
ktorú by som nemohol nerobiť,
more and more people started to ask me,
stále viac ľudí začalo pýtať:
Can we sit down for lunch?"
Môžeme skočiť na obed?“
But I would have to warn them,
my quit rate was also 80 percent.
môj počet výpovedí 80 %.
80 percent would quit their job
na obede, 80 % z nich
that I had any special magic.
že by som vedel čarovať.
one simple question.
jednoduchú otázku
the work that you're doing?"
told me I'm supposed to."
že to tak mám robiť.“
people around us
that someone tells them to climb,
lebo im niekto povedal, že majú,
against the wrong wall,
o nesprávnu stenu,
a uvedomoval si ten problém,
these people and saw this problem,
create a community,
vytvorili komunitu,
could feel like they belonged
to do things differently,
where that was encouraged,
kde by to bolo podporované,
what I now call Live Your Legend,
čo volám Ži svoju legendu,
I noticed a framework
všimol som si rámec
world-changers have in common,
meniaci svet spoločné,
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
aby sme sa cez ne,
and hopefully the rest of our life.
passionate work framework
práce, ktorú milujete,
and understanding yourself,
a porozumieť sebe,
what you're looking for,
is going to do this for us.
on passion and purpose and career.
o vášni a zmysle a kariére.
a required double major,
picking out a dorm room TV set
výberom telky v izbe intráku
and your area of study.
it's on us to figure that out,
we need a way to navigate through this.
potrebujeme niečo, čo nás bude navigovať.
finding out what our unique strengths are.
aké sú naše jedinečné prednosti.
loving to do no matter what,
ako sa prebudíme,
the things that people thank us for?
t.j. veci, za ktoré nám ľudia ďakujú?
is a book and also an online tool.
je kniha a online nástroj.
what it is that you're naturally good at.
v čom ste prirodzene dobrí.
or our hierarchy for making decisions?
alebo hierarchia pri rozhodovaní?
our family, health,
našu rodinu, zdravie,
naše úspechy atď.?
all this stuff?
to make these decisions,
to some cause we don't give a shit about.
niečomu, čo nám je ukradnuté.
We learn things every day, every minute
Učíme sa všeličo každý deň, každú minútu,
what we're terrible at.
že sa tým budeme zaoberať,
paying attention to that
it's all for nothing.
života, všetko je na nič.
every month of every year
just reflecting on what went right,
čo sa mi podarilo,
and what do I want to repeat,
as you see people, especially today,
veci, pri ktorých si poviete:
things where you say
I want to be like him."
chcem byť ako on.“
Open up a journal.
na tých ľuďoch inšpiruje.
that inspires you.
everything about their life,
this repository of things
and have a more passionate existence
a existovať s väčšou vášňou
to put these things together,
tieto veci zhromažďovať,
what success actually means to us,
čo vlastne pre nás znamená úspech,
of the compass, it's impossible.
častí kompasu nemožné.
we have that scripted life
máme nalinkovaný život,
going up this ladder to nowhere.
po rebríku, ktorý nikam nevedie.
if anybody saw that,
ak ste to videli,
the big Wall Street banker CEO,
riaditeľa banky na Wall Street:
Everyone's got a number,
they'll leave it all."
of most of the people
understanding what matters for them,
čo je pre nich dôležité,
that doesn't mean anything to us,
čo pre nás nič neznamená,
said we're supposed to.
hovorí, že to máme robiť.
the things that make us come alive.
veci, pre ktoré žijeme.
could come and hit you in the face,
tak prísť a vraziť vám do tváre,
you might throw it away
vo vašej práci,
a way of identifying it.
čo sa zhoduje s mojimi silnými stránkami,
that's congruent with my strengths,
I'm going to do something with it,
niečo s tým urobím,
and try to make an impact with it.
a snažiť sa s tým meniť veci.
and the movement we've built
a hnutie, ktoré sme vytvorili,
this compass to identify,
kompas na zistenie
and make a difference with."
a chcem tým niečo zmeniť.“
we're never going to find it,
nikdy to nenájdeme,
this framework, this compass,
and that's not me up there --
a to nie som ja tam hore –
and pushing our limits.
a posúvaním svojich hraníc.
ľudia nerobia veci.
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.
nemožné, kým to niekto neurobil.
every new thing in the world,
it was a physical impossibility
bolo to fyzicky nemožné
in a foot race
a nedokázal to.
16 people broke the four-minute mile.
míľu za 4 minúty 16 ľudí.
that we think are impossible
v našej mysli nemožné,
čakajúcimi na pokorenie,
waiting to be accomplished
your physical body and fitness
naším fyzickým telom a kondíciou
because we can control that.
pretože to vieme ovplyvniť.
you can run a mile or two,
or whatever it is,
2,5 kila, čokoľvek,
into the rest of your world.
of this a little bit with my friends.
vytvoril taký malý zvyk.
We go on physical adventures,
Chodíme na malé výpravy,
in a kind of precarious spot.
na takom riskantnom mieste.
that same fear
Jaws 1, 2, 3 and 4 like six times
Čeľuste 1, 2, 3 a 4 asi 6-krát,
I can already feel it right now.
zakalené, vždy to tam cítim.
it's fresh water, totally unfounded fear,
sladká voda, neopodstatnený strach,
I find myself on this tugboat
som sa ocitol na vlečnej lodi
and people are getting sick on the boat,
ľuďom bolo na tej lodi zle,
and I'm looking out the window
obleku a pozeral z okna
že budem plávať v ústrety smrti.
I'm about to swim to my death.
across the Golden Gate.
popod most Golden Gate
might have done that before.
to možno už vyskúšali.
who had talked me into it,
Jonathan, ktorý ma na to nahovoril,
and he could see the state I was in.
what's the worst that could happen?
najhoršie sa môže stať?
You're not going to sink.
Nepotopíš sa.
just hop on one of the 20 kayaks.
na jeden z tých 20 kajakov.
why are they going to pick you
prečo by si vybral z 80 ľudí
So thanks, that helps.
Takže vďaka, to pomáha.
just have fun with this. Good luck."
uži si to. Veľa šťastia.“
and I felt this total feeling of calm,
pocítil som totálny pokoj,
Jonathan was 13 years old.
lebo Jonathan mal 13 rokov.
the ages of nine and 13.
your world differently
by ste vnímali váš svet,
you could swim a mile and a half
že viete preplávať 2,5 km
from Alcatraz to San Francisco.
z Alcatrazu do San Francisca.
What would you have tried?
Čo by ste vyskúšali?
I get to Aquatic Park,
are already finished,
and they're all excited.
if anyone's ever swam in the Bay,
ako keď plávate v zálive,
and I'm watching people finish.
pozerám na ľudí, ktorí končia.
s ktorým asi nie je niečo v poriadku.
something didn't look right.
before he slams his head back down.
načo mu spadne hlava.
rodičia naňho tiež pozerali,
were watching too,
the same thing I was:
mysleli to isté, čo ja:
swim from Alcatraz.
nedovoľuje plávať z Alcatrazu.
run up and grab him,
and they're dragging him like this,
they walk a few more feet
oslave víťazstva, akú som kedy videl.
insane show of victory I've ever seen.
and the energy on this guy
a energiu toho chlapca,
in his wheelchair.
videl už predtým.
going to be in 20 years?
do that, that he would die if tried that?
že zomrie, ak to skúsi?
dokážete to aj sebe,
you prove yourself wrong,
little incremental pushes
the fastest marathoner in the world,
maratóncom na svete,
to accomplish those,
with passionate people.
you don't think can be done
ktoré sa podľa vás nedajú,
with people already doing them.
you spend the most time with."
s ktorými tráviš najviac času.“
in the history of the world
lepšia rada do života,
to where you want to be
na miesto, kde chcete byť
to put in your corner.
ktorí vás tam dostanú.
and it's a proven fact.
with a bunch of cyclists,
študoval niekoľko cyklistov,
around the track in a group,
dookola dráhy, keď jazdili v skupine
in the group would cycle faster.
vždy jazdia rýchlejšie.
in all kinds of walks of life since then,
vo všemožných povolaniach
and environment is everything.
a že prostredie je všetko.
lebo to funguje obojsmerne.
because it can go both ways.
who don't like the work they do,
ktorú robia,
not in this room, but everywhere else,
miestnosti, ale všade inde,
od získania vecí, na ktorých nám záleží,
from pursuing the things that matter to us
they poured their heart and soul into,
do ktorej ste vložili svoje srdce a dušu,
so badly want to call it a business,
a chceli ste s tým podnikať,
and it doesn't make a dime?
a nezarobí vám to ani cent?
to build this Live Your Legend movement
vybudovať hnutie Ži svoju legendu
cared about and that inspired them,
naozaj zaujíma a inšpiruje,
three people paying attention,
my mother, father and my wife, Chelsea.
a moja manželka Chelsea.
it grew at zero percent for four years,
za 4 roky to narástlo na hodnotu 0 %,
to meet some pretty interesting people
a začal som stretávať zaujímavých ľudí,
lifestyles of adventure,
životný štýl,
and helped people in a meaningful way.
a zmysluplne pomáhali ľuďom.
now, he has a family of eight,
má 8-člennú rodinu
writes for twice a week.
in Europe, all of them together.
pobytu v Európe.
How does this even exist?
Ako môže byť niečo také?
by seeing this,
neskutočne ma to inšpirovalo,
som sa rozhodol to brať vážne.
I decided, let's take it seriously.
aby som všetok čas,
to spend my time,
trying to hound these guys,
strávil s týmito ľuďmi,
and workouts, whatever it was.
a cvičiť, čokoľvek.
of hanging around these people,
strávených s týmito ľuďmi
grew by 10 times.
narástla 10-násobne.
it grew by 160 times.
narástla 160-násobne.
from 158 countries
on a monthly basis.
that community of passionate folks
zanietených ľudí,
that I dreamed of
o ktorej som sníval
už pred toľkými rokmi.
and this is why --
I knew nobody in this space,
that people could do this stuff,
že ľudia môžu robiť niečo také,
and everyone around me was doing it.
a každý okolo mňa to robí.
from how could I possibly do this
nad tým, ako to urobiť,
that switch goes on in your head,
vám v hlave preskočí prepínač,
your standards go from here to here.
sa vám posunú štandardy.
You just need to change your surroundings.
Len musíte zmeniť svoje prostredie.
being around this whole group of people,
s touto skupinou ľudí,
on the way to work, whatever it is.
do práce, kamkoľvek.
that inspires possibility.
ktorá inšpiruje možnosť.
to spend together and plenty more.
in terms of these three pillars,
pokiaľ ide o tieto tri piliere,
more than anything else.
you can't learn about yourself.
že sa nemôžete učiť o sebe.
you can't push your limits
and push that.
nemôžete obklopiť inšpiratívnymi ľuďmi
surround yourself with inspiring people
who bring you down.
ktorí vás ťahajú dolu.
or getting in a car accident.
alebo príde k dopravnej nehode.
if we decide to do something about it.
ak sa rozhodneme s nimi niečo urobiť.
on a widespread level.
deje vo veľkom meradle.
reported for the first time
USA oznámila, že po prvý raz
had quit their jobs
podalo výpovede z práce
but it's happened three months straight.
ale stalo sa to tri mesiace za sebou.
it's kind of a tough environment,
že doba je ťažká,
tomuto nalinkovanému životu,
to this scripted life,
say you're supposed to do,
hovorí, že sa majú,
and do the things that inspire them.
im záleží a ktoré ich inšpirujú.
are waking up to this possibility,
do tejto možnosti,
possibility now is imagination.
možnosť, je fantázia.
what passion, what hobby.
aká vášeň, aký koníček.
someone who is killing it knitting,
kto je kráľom háčkovania,
Je to neskutočné.
to learn from the folks speaking,
aby sme sa učili od rečníkov
on Live Your Legend every day,
v Ži svoju legendu každý deň,
are doing the extraordinary,
robia výnimočné veci,
or Steve Jobs, doing something crazy.
ktorí robia niečo skvelé.
that matters to you,
na ktorých vám záleží,
that only you can make.
ktorý viete vytvoriť len vy.
he was a recovering lawyer,
something that mattered to him,
na ktorom mu záležalo,
that I absolutely live by.
podľa ktorého žijem.
then they laugh at you,
potom sa z teba smejú,
potom vyhráš.“
until somebody did it.
kým to niekto neurobil.
who tell you it can't be done
ktorí vám hovoria, že sa to nedá
who inspire possibility,
ktorí povzbudzujú možnosti,
to show the world
ako zodpovednosť ukázať svetu,
can become that new normal.
sa môže zmeniť na normálne.
to do the things that inspire them.
aby robili veci, ktoré inšpirujú ich.
and make those discoveries.
a tieto objavy uskutočniť.
of people love the work they do.
kde 80 % miluje svoju prácu.
How would you treat the people around you?
Ako by ste sa správali k ľuďom okolo seba?
I have just one question to ask you guys,
chcel spýtať jednu otázku
question that matters.
na ktorej záleží.
you can't not do?
ktorú nemôžete neurobiť?
but for everybody around you,
ale pre každého okolo vás,
to change the world.
