A few years ago,
0
0
2000
Pred nekaj leti
00:17
I felt like I was stuck in a rut,
1
2000
3000
sem imel občutek, da sem zapadel v rutino,
00:20
so I decided to follow in the footsteps
2
5000
2000
zato sem se odločil slediti korakom
00:22
of the great American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock,
3
7000
3000
velikega ameriškega filozofa Morgana Spurlocka
00:25
and try something new for 30 days.
4
10000
3000
in trideset dni početi nekaj novega.
00:28
The idea is actually pretty simple.
5
13000
2000
Zamisel je pravzaprav precej preprosta.
00:30
Think about something you've always wanted to add to your life
6
15000
3000
Pomislite na nekaj, kar ste vedno želeli vnesti v svoje življenje,
00:33
and try it for the next 30 days.
7
18000
3000
in to preizkušajte naslednjih trideset dni.
00:36
It turns out,
8
21000
2000
Izkaže se,
00:38
30 days is just about the right amount of time
9
23000
2000
da je trideset dni ravno dovolj,
00:40
to add a new habit or subtract a habit --
10
25000
2000
da dodate novo navado ali se odrečete stari,
00:42
like watching the news --
11
27000
2000
kot je recimo
00:44
from your life.
12
29000
2000
gledanje poročil.
00:46
There's a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges.
13
31000
3000
Skozi te tridesetdnevne izzive sem se naučil kar nekaj reči:
00:49
The first was,
14
34000
2000
Prvič,
00:51
instead of the months flying by, forgotten,
15
36000
3000
namesto da bi meseci pozabljeni tekli mimo,
00:54
the time was much more memorable.
16
39000
3000
sem si stvari mnogo bolje zapomnil.
00:57
This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture every day for a month.
17
42000
3000
Tole je del izziva, da mesec dni vsak dan posnamem fotografijo.
01:00
And I remember exactly where I was
18
45000
3000
In točno se spomnim, kje sem bil
01:03
and what I was doing that day.
19
48000
3000
in kaj sem ta dan počel.
01:06
I also noticed
20
51000
2000
Opazil sem tudi,
01:08
that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges,
21
53000
2000
da je s tem, ko sem začel z več in težjimi tridesetdnevnimi izzivi,
01:10
my self-confidence grew.
22
55000
2000
moja samozavest zrasla.
01:12
I went from desk-dwelling computer nerd
23
57000
2000
Iz obsedenca z računalniki sem se prelevil
01:14
to the kind of guy who bikes to work --
24
59000
3000
v tipa, ki kolesari v službo,
01:17
for fun.
25
62000
3000
in to za zabavo.
01:20
Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro,
26
65000
3000
Lani sem splezal na Kilimandžaro,
01:23
the highest mountain in Africa.
27
68000
2000
najvišjo goro v Afriki.
01:25
I would never have been that adventurous
28
70000
3000
Nikoli ne bi postal tako pustolovski,
01:28
before I started my 30-day challenges.
29
73000
3000
če ne bi začel s tridesetdnevnimi izzivi.
01:31
I also figured out
30
76000
2000
Ugotovil sem tudi,
01:33
that if you really want something badly enough,
31
78000
2000
da če si nečesa zares želiš,
01:35
you can do anything for 30 days.
32
80000
3000
lahko to počneš trideset dni.
01:38
Have you ever wanted to write a novel?
33
83000
2000
Ste kdaj hoteli napisati roman?
01:40
Every November,
34
85000
2000
Vsakega novembra
01:42
tens of thousands of people
35
87000
2000
na desettisoče ljudi
01:44
try to write their own 50,000-word novel from scratch
36
89000
4000
poskusi napisati čisto svoj roman v 50.000 besedah
01:48
in 30 days.
37
93000
2000
v tridesetih dneh.
01:50
It turns out, all you have to do
38
95000
2000
Dejstvo je, da je vse, kar morate narediti,
01:52
is write 1,667 words a day
39
97000
3000
to, da napišete 1.667 besed na dan
01:55
for a month.
40
100000
2000
v enem mesecu.
01:57
So I did.
41
102000
2000
In to sem storil.
01:59
By the way, the secret is not to go to sleep
42
104000
2000
Aja, trik je v tem, da ne greste spat,
02:01
until you've written your words for the day.
43
106000
3000
dokler niste napisali dnevnega števila besed.
02:04
You might be sleep-deprived,
44
109000
2000
Mogoče boste neprespani,
02:06
but you'll finish your novel.
45
111000
2000
a dokončali boste svoj roman.
02:08
Now is my book the next great American novel?
46
113000
4000
Pa je moja knjiga nov veliki ameriški roman?
02:12
No. I wrote it in a month.
47
117000
2000
Ne. Napisal sem jo v mesecu dni.
02:14
It's awful.
48
119000
3000
Grozna je.
02:17
But for the rest of my life,
49
122000
2000
Vendar mi do konca življenja,
02:19
if I meet John Hodgman at a TED party,
50
124000
3000
če na TED zabavi srečam Johna Hodgmana,
02:22
I don't have to say,
51
127000
2000
ne bo treba več reči:
02:24
"I'm a computer scientist."
52
129000
2000
"Sem računalničar."
02:26
No, no, if I want to, I can say, "I'm a novelist."
53
131000
3000
Ne, ne, če hočem, bom lahko rekel: "Sem pisatelj."
02:29
(Laughter)
54
134000
3000
(smeh)
02:32
So here's one last thing I'd like to mention.
55
137000
3000
In še zadnja stvar, ki bi jo rad povedal.
02:35
I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes,
56
140000
3000
Naučil sem se, da če napravim majhno trajno spremembo,
02:38
things I could keep doing,
57
143000
2000
nekaj, pri čemer bi lahko vztrajal,
02:40
they were more likely to stick.
58
145000
2000
je bolj verjetno, da bo sprememba ostala.
02:42
There's nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges.
59
147000
3000
Nič ni narobe z velikimi norimi izzivi.
02:45
In fact, they're a ton of fun.
60
150000
3000
Pravzaprav so izjemno zabavni.
02:48
But they're less likely to stick.
61
153000
2000
A manj verjetno je, da se bodo obdržali.
02:50
When I gave up sugar for 30 days,
62
155000
2000
Ko sem se za trideset dni odrekel sladkorju,
02:52
day 31 looked like this.
63
157000
2000
je 31. dan izgledal takole.
02:54
(Laughter)
64
159000
2000
(smeh)
02:56
So here's my question to you:
65
161000
3000
Zato vas vprašam:
02:59
What are you waiting for?
66
164000
2000
Kaj čakate?
03:01
I guarantee you the next 30 days
67
166000
2000
Zagotavljam vam,
03:03
are going to pass
68
168000
2000
da se bo naslednjih trideset dni zgodilo,
03:05
whether you like it or not,
69
170000
2000
če hočete ali ne.
03:07
so why not think about something
70
172000
2000
Zakaj ne bi izbrali nečesa,
03:09
you have always wanted to try
71
174000
2000
kar ste si vedno želeli poizkusiti,
03:11
and give it a shot
72
176000
2000
ter to zares počeli
03:13
for the next 30 days.
73
178000
2000
naslednjih trideset dni?
03:15
Thanks.
74
180000
2000
Hvala.
03:17
(Applause)
