miaka saba iliyopita.
00:32
And in the seat next to me

Na katika siti iIiyopo pembeni yangu
alikuwapo mwanafunzi wa sekondari, kijana,

alitokea katika familia masikini sana.
00:39
And she wanted to make
something of her life,

6
15483

Na alitaka kujitengenezea maisha,
00:42
and she asked me a simple little question.
7
18000
2039
akaniuliza swali rahisi.
00:44
She said, "What leads to success?"
8
20063
1945
Alisema, "Ni nini husababisha mafanikio?"
00:46
And I felt really badly,
9
22032
1379
Na nilijisikia vibaya sana,
00:47
because I couldn't give her a good answer.
10
23435
2461
kwa sababu sikuweza kumpa jibu zuri.
00:49

Hivyo nilitoka kwenye ndege, na kuja TED.
00:52
And I think, jeez, I'm in the middle

00:55
So why don't I ask them
what helped them succeed,

Kwa nini nisiwaulize wao
nini kiliwasaidia kufanikiwa,

I'd say it was a pretty good idea.
63
146000
1976
Ningependa kusema ni wazo zuri sana.
02:52
And there's no magic to creativity

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Richard St. John - Marketer, success analystA self-described average guy who found success doing what he loved, Richard St. John spent more than a decade researching the lessons of success -- and distilling them into 8 words, 3 minutes and one successful book.
Why you should listen
Richard St. John was on his way to the TED conference when a girl on the plane asked him, "What really leads to success?" Even though he had achieved some success, he couldn't explain how he did it. So he spent the next ten years researching success and asking over 500 extraordinarily successful people in many fields what helped them succeed. After analyzing, sorting, and correlating millions of words of research, and building one of the most organized databases on the subject of success, he discovered "The 8 Traits Successful People Have in Common" and wrote the bestseller 8 To Be Great.
In his books and talks,he shares a wealth of wisdom from the world's most successful people -- knowledge that can help others succeed in their own way, whether it's escaping poverty, building a business, raising a family, or changing the world.
