I want to discuss with you this afternoon
0
1087
4916
Ovog popodneva sa vama želim da prodiskutujem o tome
00:08
why you're going to fail to have a great career. (Laughter)
1
6003
4008
zašto nećete ostvariti sjajnu karijeru. (Smeh)
00:12
I'm an economist. I do dismal.
2
10011
4078
Ja sam ekonomista. Bavim se sumornim stvarima.
00:16
End of the day, it's ready for dismal remarks.
3
14089
4947
Kraj je dana, vreme je za sumorna zapažanja.
00:21
I only want to talk to those of you who want a great career.
4
19036
3986
Želim da razgovaram samo sa onima koji priželjkuju
sjajnu karijeru.
sjajnu karijeru.
00:25
I know some of you have already decided
5
23022
1076
Poznato mi je i da su neki od vas već odlučili
00:26
you want a good career.
6
24098
2913
da žele dobru karijeru.
00:29
You're going to fail, too — (Laughter) —
7
27011
2038
Ni vi nećete uspeti -- (Smeh)
00:31
because — Goodness, you're all cheery about failing. (Laughter)
8
29049
3008
iz razloga što -- Oh, ala ste vi veseli zbog neuspeha. (Smeh)
00:34
Canadian group, undoubtedly. (Laughter)
9
32057
5963
To su sigurno ovi iz Kanade. (smeh)
00:40
Those trying to have good careers are going to fail,
10
38020
2046
Oni koji se trude da ostvare dobre karijere,
neće uspeti u tome,
neće uspeti u tome,
00:42
because, really, good jobs are now disappearing.
11
40066
3976
jer činjenica je da dobri poslovi danas nestaju.
00:46
There are great jobs and great careers,
12
44042
3025
Postoje sjajni poslovi i sjajne karijere,
00:49
and then there are the high-workload, high-stress,
13
47067
3971
a postoje i oni iscrpljujući, visoko stresni,
00:53
bloodsucking, soul-destroying kinds of jobs,
14
51038
3045
eksploatatorski, krvnički poslovi,
00:56
and practically nothing in between.
15
54083
1934
i bukvalno ništa između ova dva.
00:58
So the people looking for good jobs are going to fail.
16
56017
2035
Tako da neće uspeti oni koji traže dobre poslove.
01:00
I'm going to talk about those looking for great jobs, great
17
58052
2996
Govoriću o onima koji traže sjajne poslove,
sjajne karijere i
sjajne karijere i
01:03
careers, and why you're going to, why you're going to fail.
18
61048
4002
razlozima zbog kojih vi nećete uspeti u tome.
01:07
First reason is that no matter how many times people tell you,
19
65050
6025
Prvi razlog je taj što, bez obzira koliko puta vam ljudi kažu:
01:13
"If you want a great career, you have to pursue your passion,
20
71075
3953
"Ako želiš sjajnu karijeru, moraš da slediš svoju strast,
01:17
you have to pursue your dreams, you have to pursue,
21
75028
3003
moraš da slediš svoje snove, moraš da slediš
01:20
the greatest fascination in your life,"
22
78031
3016
ono što te najviše fascinira u životu, "
01:23
you hear it again and again and then you decide
23
81047
2032
vi to slušate iznova i iznova i onda odlučite
01:25
not to do it. It doesn't matter how many times you download
24
83079
4008
da to ne učinite. Nevažno je koliko puta ste preslušali
01:29
Steven J.'s Stanford commencement address,
25
87087
4926
obraćanje Stiva Džobsa na Stanfordu,
01:34
you still look at it and decide not to do it.
26
92013
3030
i dalje ga gledate i odlučujete da to ne učinite.
01:37
I'm not quite sure why you decide not to do it.
27
95043
2039
Nisam baš siguran zašto donosite takvu odluku.
01:39
You're too lazy to do it. It's too hard.
28
97082
2000
Suviše ste lenji da to učinite. Suviše vam je teško.
01:41
You're afraid if you look for your passion and don't find it,
29
99082
2949
Strah vas je da ćete se osetiti kao budala ako ne pronađete svoju strast,
01:44
you'll feel like you're an idiot, so then you make excuses
30
102031
3010
i tada smišljate izgovore o tome
01:47
about why you're not going to look for your passion.
31
105041
2994
zašto ne želite da se upuštate u istraživanje svojih strasti.
01:50
And they are excuses, ladies and gentlemen.
32
108035
1062
A to su, dame i gospodo, izgovori.
01:51
We're going to go through a whole long list, your creativity,
33
109097
2978
Videćemo čitav spisak vaše kreativnosti i
01:54
and thinking of excuses not to do what you really
34
112075
2992
smišljanja izgovora da ne učinite ono što zaista treba da učinite,
01:57
need to do if you want to have a great career.
35
115067
2997
ako želite da ostvarite sjajnu karijeru.
02:00
So, for example, one of your great excuses is,
36
118064
6005
Na primer, jedan od vaših velikih izgovora je:
02:06
"Well, great careers are really and truly, for most people,
37
124069
5001
"Sjajne karijere su, bez sumnje, za većinu ljudi
02:11
just a matter of luck, so I'm going to stand around,
38
129070
3948
samo pitanje sreće, tako da ću ja da stojim sa strane,
02:15
I'm going to try to be lucky, and if I'm lucky,
39
133018
2068
trudiću se da me pogleda sreća i ako se to desi
02:17
I'll have a great career. If not, I'll have a good career."
40
135086
2998
imaću sjajnu karijeru. Ako ništa, imaću dobru karijeru."
02:20
But a good career is an impossibility, so that's not going to work.
41
138084
3948
Ali dobra karijera nije moguća, tako da vam to neće uspeti.
02:24
Then, your other excuse is, "Yes, there are special people
42
142032
3987
Vaš drugi izgovor je: "Slažem se, postoje posebni ljudi
02:28
who pursue their passions, but they are geniuses.
43
146019
3997
koji slede svoje strasti, ali to su genijalci.
02:32
They are Steven J. I'm not a genius.
44
150016
3027
To je Stiv Džobs. Ja nisam genije.
02:35
When I was five, I thought I was a genius,
45
153043
2959
Kada sam imao pet godina, mislio sam da sam genije,
02:38
but my professors have beaten that idea
46
156002
2002
ali su mi nastavnici još davno
02:40
out of my head long since." (Laughter) Mm?
47
158004
3018
izbili iz glave tu misao." (Smeh). Hm?
02:43
"And now I know I am completely competent."
48
161022
4058
"A sada znam da sam potpuno kompetentan."
02:47
Now, you see, if this was 1950,
49
165080
2972
Vidite, da je ovo 1950. godina,
02:50
being completely competent,
50
168052
2967
vaša stručnost bi vam
02:53
that would have given you a great career.
51
171019
2023
omogućila sjajnu karijeru.
02:55
But guess what? This is almost 2012, and saying
52
173042
4005
A sada, evo, skoro je 2012. i ako kažete:
02:59
to the world, "I am totally, completely competent,"
53
177047
4013
"Ja sam skroz, potpuno kompetentan,"
03:03
is damning yourself with the faintest of praise.
54
181060
4025
to vam je izuzetno slaba i neuverljiva preporuka.
03:07
And then, of course, another excuse:
55
185085
2933
I naravno, još jedan izgovor:
03:10
"Well, I would do this, I would do this, but, but,
56
188018
3037
"Pa, radio bih ja to, da, ali ipak,
03:13
well, after all, I'm not weird.
57
191055
4042
nisam ja neki čudak.
03:17
Everybody knows that people who pursue their passions
58
195097
2954
Poznato je da su ljudi koji slede svoje strasti
03:20
are somewhat obsessive. A little strange? Mm? Mm? Okay?
59
198051
4977
pomalo opsesivni. Pomalo čudni? Je l' tako?
03:25
You know, a fine line between madness and genius.
60
203028
3021
Znate ono, tanka linija između ludila i genijalnosti.
03:28
I'm not weird. I've read Steven J.'s biography.
61
206049
4046
Ja nisam takav. Čitao sam ja biografiju Stiva Džobsa.
03:32
Oh my goodness. I am not that person. I am nice.
62
210095
3952
O, ne. Ja nisam takav. Ja sam umeren.
03:36
I am normal. I'm a nice, normal person,
63
214047
3004
Ja sam normalan. Ja sam umerena, normalna osoba,
03:39
and nice, normal people
64
217051
2013
a takve normalne, fine osobe
03:41
don't have passion.
65
219064
3968
nemaju strasti.
03:45
Ah. But I still want a great career.
66
223032
2981
Ali, ja i dalje želim sjajnu karijeru.
03:48
I'm not prepared to pursue my passion, so I know
67
226013
2024
Nisam spreman da sledim svoje strasti
03:50
what I'm going to do, because I have, I have a solution,
68
228037
2972
i znam šta ću da radim, zato što ja imam rešenje,
03:53
I have a strategy.
69
231009
1999
imam strategiju.
03:55
It's the one Mommy and Daddy told me about.
70
233008
2018
Tata i mama su mi pričali o tome.
03:57
Mommy and Daddy told me that if I worked hard,
71
235026
3027
Rekli su mi ako budem vredno radio,
04:00
I'd have a good career. So, if you work hard
72
238053
3957
imaću dobru karijeru. Ako vredno radite,
04:04
and have a good career, if you work really, really, really hard,
73
242010
3018
imaćete dobru karijeru, a ako baš istinski vredno radite,
04:07
you'll have a great career. Doesn't that, like,
74
245028
2020
imaćete sjajnu karijeru. Matematički,
04:09
mathematically make sense?"
75
247048
1962
ovo ima smisla, zar ne?"
04:11
Hmm. Not. (Laughter)
76
249010
1050
Pa... Nema. (Smeh)
04:12
But you've managed to talk yourself into that.
77
250060
2980
Ali sebe ste uspeli da ubedite u to.
04:15
You know what? Here's a little secret.
78
253040
2001
Znate šta? Otkriću vam tajnu.
04:17
You want to work? You want to work really, really, really hard?
79
255041
3014
Hoćete da radite? Baš istinski vredno?
04:20
You know what? You'll succeed. The world will give you
80
258055
2014
Znate šta? Uspećete. Svet će vam dati šansu
04:22
the opportunity to work really, really, really, really hard,
81
260069
4990
da radite baš, baš vredno i naporno, ali...
04:27
but are you so sure that that's going to give you
82
265059
4973
da li ste sigurni da će vam dati i sjajnu karijeru
04:32
a great career when all the evidence is to the contrary?
83
270032
4033
kada sve upravo govori suprotno?
04:36
So let's assume, let's deal with those of you
84
274065
3935
Hajde da pretpostavimo, pozabavimo se onima među vama
04:40
who are trying to find your passion.
85
278000
2017
koji pokušavaju da pronađu svoju strast.
04:42
You actually understand that you really had better do it,
86
280017
2024
Jasno vam je da to zaista treba da učinite,
04:44
never mind the excuses. You're trying to find your passion,
87
282041
3996
bez obzira na izgovore. Trudite se da pronađete svoju strast
04:49
and you're so happy.
88
287078
2009
i srećni ste.
04:51
You found something you're interested in.
89
289087
2934
Pronašli ste nešto što vas zanima.
04:54
I have an interest! I have an interest! You tell me.
90
292021
2994
To me zanima! To me zanima! Vi tako kažete.
04:57
You say, "I have an interest!" I say, "That's wonderful!
91
295015
2033
Kažete: "To me zanima!" A ja kažem: "Odlično!
04:59
And what, what are you trying to tell me? That you — "
92
297048
3014
A šta, zapravo, pokušavate da mi kažete?"
05:02
"Well, I have an interest."
93
300062
1955
"Pa, to me zanima."
05:04
I say, "Do you have passion?"
94
302017
1045
A ja vas pitam: "Da li imate strast?"
05:05
"I have an interest," you say.
95
303062
2947
A vi kažete: "To me zanima."
05:08
Your interest is compared to what?
96
306009
1081
To vas zanima u poređenju sa čim?
05:09
"Well, I'm interested in this."
97
307090
2945
"Pa, ovo me zanima."
05:12
And what about the rest of humanity's activities?
98
310035
3063
A šta je sa ostalim aktivnostima čovečanstva?
05:15
"I'm not interested in them."
99
313098
2000
"One me ne zanimaju."
05:17
You've looked at them all, have you?
100
315098
1999
Sigurno ste ih sve sagledali, zar ne?
05:19
"No. Not exactly."
101
317097
2977
"Pa, ne baš."
05:22
Passion is your greatest love.
102
320074
2961
Strast je vaša najveća ljubav.
05:25
Passion is the thing that will help you create
103
323035
4995
Upravo strast će vam pomoći da ostvarite
05:30
the highest expression of your talent.
104
328030
2039
najviši izraz svog talenta.
05:32
Passion, interest -- it's not the same thing.
105
330069
2946
Strast i interesovanje nisu iste stvari.
05:35
Are you really going to go to your sweetie and say,
106
333015
2047
Zaista ćete otići do svoje drage i reći joj:
05:37
"Marry me! You're interesting." (Laughter)
107
335062
6939
"Udaj se za mene. Baš si mi interesantna." (Smeh)
05:44
Won't happen. Won't happen, and you will die alone. (Laughter)
108
342001
5031
To se neće desiti i umrećete sami. (Smeh)
05:49
What you want, what you want, what you want,
109
347032
3045
Ono što vam je potrebno, zaista potrebno
05:52
is passion. It is beyond interest.
110
350077
3958
je strast. Ona je iznad interesovanja.
05:56
You need 20 interests, and then one of them,
111
354035
3059
Potrebno vam je 20 interesovanja, a onda će možda jedno od njih,
05:59
one of them might grab you, one of them might engage you
112
357094
3001
da vas zaokupi, da vas osvoji
06:02
more than anything else, and then you may have found
113
360095
2951
više od ostalih i onda ste možda pronašli
06:05
your greatest love in comparison to all the other things
114
363046
4009
svoju najveću ljubav u odnosu na sve druge stvari
06:09
that interest you, and that's what passion is.
115
367055
3041
koje vas zanimaju, a upravo to je strast.
06:12
I have a friend, proposed to his sweetie.
116
370096
3904
Imam jednog prijatelja, on je zaprosio svoju dragu.
06:16
He was an economically rational person.
117
374000
2098
Inače je sklon racionalnoj potrošnji.
06:18
He said to his sweetie, "Let us marry.
118
376098
3961
Rekao joj je: "Hajde da se venčamo.
06:22
Let us merge our interests."
119
380059
3000
Hajde da objedinimo interese."
06:25
(Laughter)
120
383059
1994
(Smeh)
06:27
Yes he did.
121
385053
1992
Zaista je tako bilo.
06:29
"I love you truly," he said. "I love you deeply. I love you
122
387045
4034
"Volim te iskreno," reče. "Volim te istinski. Volim te više od
06:33
more than any other woman I've ever encountered.
123
391079
3952
svih žena koje sam ikada sreo.
06:37
I love you more than Mary, Jane, Susie, Penelope,
124
395031
4051
Volim te više od Meri, Džejn, Suzi, Penelope,
06:41
Ingrid, Gertrude, Gretel --
125
399082
2003
Ingrid, Gertrude, Gretel --
06:43
I was on a German exchange program then." (Laughter)
126
401085
2940
bio sam tad na razmeni u Nemačkoj." (Smeh)
06:46
"I love you more than — "
127
404025
2975
"Volim te više od --"
06:49
All right! She left the room halfway through his enumeration
128
407000
6036
Dobro! Izašla je iz sobe u sred njegovog nabrajanja
06:55
of his love for her.
129
413036
2004
svoje ljubavi.
06:57
After he got over his surprise at being, you know,
130
415040
2979
Kada se malo oporavio nakon što je iznenađujuće odbijen,
07:00
turned down, he concluded he'd had a narrow escape
131
418019
5056
zaključio je da je malo falilo
07:05
from marrying an irrational person,
132
423075
3985
da se oženi neracionalnom osobom,
07:09
although he did make a note to himself that the next time
133
427060
2025
i napravio je sebi podsetnik da kada sledeći put
07:11
he proposed, it was perhaps not necessary to enumerate
134
429085
4010
bude nameravao da zaprosi nekoga,
možda i nije neophodno da nabraja
možda i nije neophodno da nabraja
07:15
all of the women he had auditioned for the part. (Laughter)
135
433095
5998
sve žene kojima je ranije nudio ovu ulogu.
(Smeh)
(Smeh)
07:21
But the point stands. You must look for alternatives
136
439093
3926
Ali poenta ostaje. Morate sagledati sve alternative
07:25
so that you find your destiny,
137
443019
1075
da biste pronašli svoju sudbinu,
07:26
or are you afraid of the word "destiny"?
138
444094
2989
ili se možda plašite reči "sudbina"?
07:29
Does the word "destiny" scare you?
139
447083
2981
Plaši li vas reč "sudbina"?
07:32
That's what we're talking about, and if you don't find
140
450064
2019
Upravo o tome razgovaramo i ako ne pronađete
07:34
the highest expression of your talent, if you settle
141
452083
2976
najviši izraz svog talenta, ako se zadovoljite "interesantnim",
07:37
for "interesting," what the hell ever that means,
142
455059
2959
šta god to značilo,
07:40
do you know what will happen at the end of your long life?
143
458018
3027
znate li šta će se desiti na kraju vašeg dugog života?
07:43
Your friends and family will be gathered in the cemetery,
144
461045
3015
Vaši prijatelji i rodbina će se okupiti na groblju,
07:46
and there, beside your gravesite will be a tombstone,
145
464060
3028
a tamo, pored vašeg groba, nalaziće se spomenik,
07:49
and inscribed on that tombstone, it will say,
146
467088
2987
a na njemu će pisati:
07:52
"Here lies a distinguished engineer who invented Velcro."
147
470075
7018
"Ovde leži slavni inženjer koji je izumeo
samolepljivu čičak traku."
samolepljivu čičak traku."
07:59
But what that tombstone should have said,
148
477093
4953
Ali u nekom alternativnom životu,
08:04
in an alternative lifetime,
149
482046
2983
da ste iskoristili najviši izraz svog talenta,
08:07
what it should have said if it was your highest expression of
150
485029
3067
tamo je trebalo da piše:
08:10
talent, was, "Here lies the last Nobel Laureate in Physics,
151
488096
5930
"Ovde leži poslednji dobitnik Nobelove nagrade za fiziku
08:16
who formulated the Grand Unified Field Theory
152
494026
3031
koji je formulisao Teoriju velikog ujedinjenja polja
08:19
and demonstrated the practicality of warp drive."
153
497057
3983
i primenu warp pogona."
08:23
(Laughter)
154
501040
2035
(Smeh)
08:25
Velcro, indeed. (Laughter)
155
503075
4010
Čičak traka, nego šta. (Smeh)
08:29
One was a great career.
156
507085
3985
Jedan primer govori o sjajnoj karijeri.
08:33
One was a missed opportunity.
157
511070
4000
Drugi o propuštenoj šansi.
08:37
But then, there are some of you,
158
515070
2000
Pa opet, neki od vas će,
08:39
in spite of all these excuses, you will find,
159
517070
3963
uprkos svim ovim izgovorima,
08:43
you will find your passion,
160
521033
3972
pronaći svoju strast,
08:47
and you'll still fail.
161
525005
3024
ali svejedno neće uspeti.
08:50
You're going to fail, because,
162
528029
3040
Nećete uspeti zato što
08:53
because you're not going to do it,
163
531069
3002
to nećete učiniti,
08:56
because you will have invented a new excuse,
164
534071
3985
zato što ćete smisliti neki novi izgovor,
09:00
any excuse to fail to take action, and this excuse
165
538056
5027
nevažno kakav, a ovaj izgovor
09:05
I've heard so many times.
166
543083
2955
sam čuo na stotine puta.
09:08
"Yes, I would pursue a great career, but I value
167
546038
11976
"Ja bih rado tragao za sjajnom karijerom,
09:20
human relationships more than accomplishment.
168
558014
5020
ali vredniji su mi međuljudski odnosi nego dostignuća.
09:25
I want to be a great friend. I want to be a great spouse.
169
563034
4981
Želim da budem sjajan prijatelj, sjajan supružnik.
09:30
I want to be a great parent, and I will not sacrifice them
170
568015
3067
Želim da budem sjajan roditelj i to ne želim da žrtvujem
09:33
on the altar of great accomplishment."
171
571082
3992
na oltaru velikih dostignuća."
09:37
(Laughter)
172
575074
2003
(Smeh)
09:39
What do you want me to say?
173
577077
1961
I šta sad hoćete da vam kažem?
09:41
Now, do you really want me to say now, tell you,
174
579038
2999
Hoćete li da vam zaista kažem, evo:
09:44
"Really, I swear I don't kick children." (Laughter)
175
582037
3033
"Stvarno, kunem se, ja ne tučem decu." (Smeh)
09:47
Hmm? Look at the worldview you've given yourself.
176
585070
4022
Pogledajte malo oko sebe.
09:51
You're a hero no matter what, and I, by suggesting,
177
589092
5003
Vi ste heroji bez obzira na sve, a ja,
bih, zbog ovog mog finog predloga
bih, zbog ovog mog finog predloga
09:56
ever so delicately, that you might want a great career,
178
594095
3930
da bi možda trebalo da stremite sjajnoj karijeri,
10:00
must hate children. I don't hate children. I don't kick them.
179
598025
3001
trebalo da mrzim decu. Ja ne mrzim decu. Ne tučem ih.
10:03
Yes, there was a little kid wandering through this building
180
601026
2977
Istina, bio je tu neki klinac u zgradi kad sam došao,
10:06
when I came here, and no, I didn't kick him. (Laughter)
181
604003
4029
izgledao je kao da se izgubio, verujte mi,
nisam ga udario. (Smeh)
nisam ga udario. (Smeh)
10:10
Course, I had to tell him that the building was for adults only
182
608032
3008
Naravno, rekao sam mu da je ova zgrada za odrasle
10:13
and to get out.
183
611040
1042
i da bi trebalo da izađe.
10:14
He mumbled something about his mother,
184
612082
2000
Promrmljao je nešto o svojoj mami
10:16
and I told him she'd probably find him outside anyway.
185
614082
3984
i ja sam mu rekao da će se verovatno sresti napolju.
10:20
Last time I saw him, he was on the stairs crying. (Laughter)
186
618066
3946
Poslednji put kada sam ga video, plakao je na stepenicama.
(Smeh)
(Smeh)
10:24
What a wimp. (Laughter)
187
622012
2046
Slabić. (Smeh)
10:26
But what do you mean? That's what you expect me to say.
188
624058
2945
I šta sad hoćete? To i očekujete da vam kažem.
10:29
You really think, you really think it's appropriate
189
627003
2024
Da li vi zaista mislite da je prikladno
10:31
that you should actually take
190
629027
2985
da zapravo decu
10:34
children and use them as a shield?
191
632012
3082
iskoristite kao štit?
10:37
You know what will happen someday,
192
635094
1985
Vi, savršeni roditelji, znate li
10:39
you, you ideal parent, you?
193
637079
4009
šta će se dogoditi jednog dana?
10:43
The kid will come to you someday and say,
194
641088
3928
Doći će vam dete i reći:
10:47
"I know what I want to be.
195
645016
2021
"Znam šta hoću da postanem.
10:49
I know what I'm going to do with my life."
196
647037
2003
Znam šta ću sa svojim životom."
10:51
You are so happy. It's the conversation
197
649040
2039
I vi ste presrećni, jer to je rečenica koju svaki roditelj
10:53
a parent wants to hear, because your kid's good in math,
198
651079
2989
želi da čuje, jer vaše dete je dobro u matematici,
10:56
and you know you're going to like what comes next.
199
654068
3012
i znate da će vam se dopasti ono
što sledi u nastavku razgovora.
što sledi u nastavku razgovora.
10:59
Says your kid, "I have decided
200
657080
2016
I dete vam kaže: "Odlučio sam
11:01
I want to be a magician.
201
659096
2967
da postanem mađioničar.
11:04
I want to perform magic tricks on the stage."
202
662063
4013
Želim da izvodim trikove na sceni."
11:08
(Laughter)
203
666076
2003
(Smeh)
11:10
And what do you say?
204
668079
2946
A šta ćete vi reći?
11:13
You say, you say,
205
671025
2047
Reći ćete:
11:15
"Umm ... that's risky, kid.
206
673072
3930
"Pa, ne znam, rizično je, sine.
11:19
Might fail, kid. Don't make a lot of money at that, kid.
207
677002
2082
Možda ne uspeš. Nema tu novca, sine.
11:21
You know, I don't know, kid,
208
679084
1916
Pa, ne znam, dete,
11:23
you should think about that again, kid,
209
681000
1092
razmisli ponovo o tome, dete,
11:24
you're so good at math, why don't you — "
210
682092
1953
dobro ti ide matematika, zašto ne bi..."
11:26
And the kid interrupts you, and says,
211
684045
1048
A dete vas prekine i kaže:
11:27
"But it is my dream. It is my dream to do this."
212
685093
4944
"Ali to je moj san. Sanjam da to radim."
11:32
And what are you going to say?
213
690037
1990
A šta ćete vi reći?
11:34
You know what you're going to say?
214
692027
1066
Hoćete da čujete?
11:35
"Look kid. I had a dream once, too, but -- but."
215
693093
5947
"Slušaj, sanjao sam i ja svašta, ali -- ali."
11:41
So how are you going to finish the sentence with your "but"?
216
699040
2987
I kako ćete da završite rečenicu sa "ali"?
11:44
"... But. I had a dream too, once, kid, but I was afraid to pursue it."
217
702027
5995
"...Ali. Sanjao sam i ja svašta,
ali sam se plašio to da ostvarim."
ali sam se plašio to da ostvarim."
11:50
Or, are you going to tell him this?
218
708022
2060
Ili ćete mu reći ovo?
11:52
"I had a dream once, kid.
219
710082
3974
"Sanjao sam i ja svašta."
11:56
But then you were born." (Laughter)
220
714056
5005
Ali onda si se ti rodio." (smeh)
12:01
(Laughter) (Applause)
221
719061
1986
(Smeh) (Aplauz)
12:03
Do you, do you really want to use your family,
222
721047
5042
Da li zaista želite da na svoju porodicu,
12:08
do you really ever want to look at your spouse
223
726089
2970
svog supružnika i svoje dete,
12:11
and your kid and see your jailers?
224
729059
4952
gledate kao na tamničare?
12:16
There was something you could have said to your kid
225
734011
3989
Ima jedna stvar koju biste mogli da kažete sinu ili ćerki,
12:20
when he or she said, "I have a dream."
226
738000
4012
kada vam kažu: "Imam san."
12:24
You could have said, looked the kid in the face, and said,
227
742012
5043
Mogli biste da ga pogledate i kažete mu:
12:29
"Go for it, kid,
228
747055
2971
"Samo napred,
12:32
just like I did."
229
750026
4029
kao što sam i ja učinio."
12:36
But you won't be able to say that
230
754055
2974
Međutim, nećete moći to da mu kažete
12:39
because you didn't. So you can't. (Laughter)
231
757029
7050
zato što to niste učinili. Tako da ništa od toga.
(Smeh)
(Smeh)
12:46
And so the sins of the parents
232
764079
2955
I tako se gresi roditelja prenose
12:49
are visited on the poor children.
233
767034
5001
na sirotu decu.
12:54
Why will you seek refuge in human relationships
234
772035
5036
Zašto biste se krili iza međuljudskih odnosa
12:59
as your excuse not to find and pursue your passion?
235
777071
5974
i to koristili kao izgovor da ne tragate za svojim strastima?
13:05
You know why.
236
783045
2020
I sami znate odgovor.
13:07
In your heart of hearts, you know why,
237
785065
3027
Duboko u sebi znate odgovor,
13:10
and I'm being deadly serious.
238
788092
2924
a ja sam sad smrtno ozbiljan.
13:13
You know why you would get all warm and fuzzy
239
791016
2063
I sami znate zašto postajete tako puni topline i prijatnosti
13:15
and wrap yourself up in human relationships.
240
793079
3003
i zašto se zaodevate međuljudskim odnosima.
13:18
It is because you are —
241
796082
3977
Zato što ste --
13:22
You know what you are.
242
800059
1981
I sami znate kakvi ste.
13:24
You're afraid to pursue your passion.
243
802040
3979
Plašite se da sledite svoje strasti.
13:28
You're afraid to look ridiculous.
244
806019
2013
Plašite se da ne ispadnete smešni.
13:30
You're afraid to try. You're afraid you may fail.
245
808032
6058
Bojite se i da pokušate, jer se plašite da nećete uspeti.
13:36
Great friend, great spouse, great parent, great career.
246
814090
6938
Sjajan prijatelj, supružnik, roditelj, sjajna karijera.
13:43
Is that not a package? Is that not who you are?
247
821028
5000
Ne ide li to jedno sa drugim? Zar to niste vi?
13:48
How can you be one without the other?
248
826028
3025
Kako to može da ide jedno bez drugog?
13:51
But you're afraid.
249
829053
2959
Ali, vi se plašite.
13:54
And that's why you're not going to have a great career, unless --
250
832012
8061
I upravo to je razlog zbog kog nećete ostvariti sjajnu karijeru, osim ako --
14:02
unless, that most evocative of all English words --
251
840073
6930
osim ako -- dve reči koje najviše od svih pobuđuju --
14:09
unless.
252
847003
1088
osim ako.
14:10
But the unless word is also attached
253
848091
4912
Međutim, ove reči se takođe vezuju i
14:15
to that other, most terrifying phrase,
254
853003
5064
za onu drugu, najstrašniju frazu,
14:20
"If only I had ... "
255
858067
2981
"Da sam samo..."
14:23
"If only I had ... "
256
861048
2984
"Da sam samo..."
14:26
If you ever have that thought ricocheting in your brain,
257
864032
5002
Ako vam se ikada ovakva misao bude vrzmala po glavi,
14:31
it will hurt a lot.
258
869034
3967
mnogo će vas zaboleti.
14:35
So, those are the many reasons
259
873007
2070
Stoga, postoji mnogo razloga
14:37
why you are going to fail
260
875077
1951
zbog kojih nećete uspeti
14:39
to have a great career,
261
877028
3019
da ostvarite sjajnu karijeru,
14:42
unless ...
262
880047
4996
osim ako...
14:47
Unless.
263
885043
4038
Osim ako.
14:51
Thank you. (Applause)
264
889081
4920
Hvala vam. (Aplauz)
