Teški izbori -- ono što se najviše bojimo učiniti, pitati, reći -- često je upravo ono što trebamo učiniti. Kako nadvladati samoparalizu i poduzeti nešto? Tim Ferriss nas potiče da zamislimo i detaljno zapišemo svoje strahove u jednostavnoj, ali snažnoj vježbi koju naziva "postavljanje strahova". Saznajte kako vam ova vježba može pomoći da se uspješno nosite s visokostresnim okruženjima te odvojite ono na što možete utjecati od onoga na što ne možete utjecati.

00:16
I was a senior in college,
1
4144
2090
Bio sam apsolvent
00:18
and it was right after a dance practice.
2
6258
1932
i bilo je to upravo nakon plesa.
00:20
I was really, really happy.
3
8214
1518
Bio sam jako, jako sretan.
00:22
And I remember exactly where I was
about a week and a half later.

Sjećam se i gdje sam točno
bio otprilike tjedan i pol nakon toga.

00:26
I was sitting in the back

Sjedio sam na stražnjem sjedalu
svog monovolumena,
svog monovolumena,
00:29
in a campus parking lot,
6
17481
1763
na parkiralištu kampusa,
00:31
when I decided
7
19268
1151
kada sam odlučio
00:32
I was going to commit suicide.
8
20443
1779
da ću počiniti samoubojstvo.
00:35
I went from deciding
to full-blown planning very quickly.
to full-blown planning very quickly.
9
23976
4037
Vrlo brzo prešao sam
s odluke na detaljno planiranje.

00:40
And I came this close
to the edge of the precipice.
to the edge of the precipice.
10
28568
2995
I bio sam toliko blizu rubu ponora.
00:43
It's the closest I've ever come.
11
31587
1637
Nikad nisam bio bliže.
00:45
And the only reason I took
my finger off the trigger
my finger off the trigger
12
33709
2952
Maknuo sam prst s okidača
00:48
was thanks to a few lucky coincidences.
13
36685
2423
samo zahvaljujući sretnom slučaju.
00:51
And after the fact,
14
39679
1691
I poslije svega,
00:53
that's what scared me the most:
the element of chance.
the element of chance.
15
41394
3122
to me najviše strašilo:
taj čimbenik slučajnosti.
taj čimbenik slučajnosti.
00:57
So I became very methodical
about testing different ways
about testing different ways
16
45242
3192
Zato sam počeo sistematično ispitivati
01:00
that I could manage my ups and downs,
17
48458
2130
kako se nositi s usponima i padovima,
01:02
which has proven to be
a good investment. (Laughs)
a good investment. (Laughs)
18

dobrom investicijom. (Smijeh)

Many normal people might have,

Genetski uvjetovanu.

01:14
I've had 50-plus at this point,
22
62582
3025
Dosad sam ih imao preko 50
01:17
and I've learned a lot.
23
65631
1521
i mnogo sam naučio iz toga.
01:19
I've had a lot of at-bats,
24
67895
1853
Imao sam puno prilika za udarac,
01:21
many rounds in the ring with darkness,
25
69772
2341
puno rundi u ringu s tamom,
01:24
taking good notes.
26
72137
1460
vodio sam bilješke.
01:25
So I thought rather than get up
and give any type of recipe for success
and give any type of recipe for success
27
73961
3335
Zato umjesto da dam recept za uspjeh
01:29
or highlight reel,
28
77320
1153
ili naglasim vrhunce,
01:30
I would share my recipe
for avoiding self-destruction,
for avoiding self-destruction,
29
78497
3839
podijelit ću svoj recept
za izbjegavanje samouništenja
za izbjegavanje samouništenja
01:35
and certainly self-paralysis.
30
83241
1997
te zasigurno i samoparalize.
01:38
And the tool I've found which has proven
to be the most reliable safety net

31
86429
3786
Smatram da je najpouzdanija
sigurnosna mreža
sigurnosna mreža
01:42
for emotional free fall
32
90239
1436
za emocionalni slobodni pad
01:44
is actually the same tool
33
92683
1569
isti onaj alat
01:46
that has helped me to make
my best business decisions.

34
94276

koji mi je pomogao
u donošenju poslovnih odluka.
u donošenju poslovnih odluka.
01:48
But that is secondary.
35
96901
1320
No to je manje važno.
01:50
And it is ... stoicism.
36
98733
3117
Riječ je o ... Stoicizmu.
01:53
That sounds boring.
37
101874
1524
Zvuči dosadno.
01:55
(Laughter)
38
103422
1063
(Smijeh)
01:56
You might think of Spock,
39
104509
1616
Možda ćete pomisliti na Spocka
01:58
or it might conjure and image like this --
40

krava stoji na kiši.
02:04
It's not sad. It's not particularly happy.
43
112620
2890
Nije tužno. Nije ni osobito sretno.
02:07
It's just an impassive creature taking
whatever life sends its way.

To je samo smireno biće
koje prihvaća što mu život pošalje.

02:11
You might not think of the ultimate
competitor, say, Bill Belichick,

Možda ne biste pomislili na predanoga

02:21
And stoicism has spread like wildfire
in the top of the NFL ranks
in the top of the NFL ranks
48
129672
5355
A stoicizam se poput požara proširio
među najboljima u američkom nogometu

02:27
as a means of mental toughness
training in the last few years.
training in the last few years.
49

kao način vježbanja mentalne čvrstoće.
02:30
You might not think

Možda ne biste pomislili

51
142465

Thomasa Jeffersona,
Johna Adamsa, Georgea Washingtona,
Johna Adamsa, Georgea Washingtona,
02:37
to name but three students of stoicism.
52
145627
2792
tri sljedbenika stoicizma.
02:40
George Washington actually had
a play about a Stoic --

53
148443
4098
George Washington je čak naručio
izvedbu predstave o stoiku --
izvedbu predstave o stoiku --
02:44
this was "Cato, a Tragedy" --
54
152565

zvala se "Cato, tragedija" --
02:46
performed for his troops at Valley Forge
to keep them motivated.
to keep them motivated.
55
154572
3187
kako bi motivirao
svoje čete kod Valley Forge.
svoje čete kod Valley Forge.
02:50
So why would people of action
focus so much on an ancient philosophy?
focus so much on an ancient philosophy?
56
158346
4080
Zašto bi se ljudi željni djelovanja
toliko usredotočili na drevnu filozofiju?
toliko usredotočili na drevnu filozofiju?
02:54
This seems very academic.
57
162450
1686
Ovo zvuči vrlo učeno.
02:56
I would encourage you to think
about stoicism a little bit differently,
about stoicism a little bit differently,
58
164795
3413
Volio bih da na drukčiji način
promišljate o stoicizmu,
promišljate o stoicizmu,
03:00
as an operating system for thriving
in high-stress environments,
in high-stress environments,
59
168232
3263
kao sustavu koji omogućuje
napredak u visokostresnom okruženju,
napredak u visokostresnom okruženju,
03:03
for making better decisions.
60
171519
1482
kod donošenja boljih odluka.
03:05
And it all started here,
61
173639
2510
Sve je počelo ovdje,
03:08
kind of,
62
176173
1163
na neki način,
03:09
on a porch.
63
177360
1446
na trijemu.
03:10
So around 300 BC in Athens,
64
178830
3257
Oko 300. g. pr. Kr. u Ateni,
03:14
someone named Zeno of Citium
taught many lectures
taught many lectures
65
182111
2873
netko imena Zenon Kitijski
držao je brojna predavanja
držao je brojna predavanja
03:17
walking around a painted porch, a "stoa."
66
185008
2752
hodajući oko oličenog
trijema, naziva "stoa."
trijema, naziva "stoa."
03:19
That later became "stoicism."
67
187784
1732
Iz toga je proizašao "stoicizam."
03:22
And in the Greco-Roman world,
68
190401
2396
U grčko-rimskom svijetu
03:24
people used stoicism
as a comprehensive system
as a comprehensive system
69
192821
2762
ljudi su koristili stoicizam
kao sveobuhvatni sustav
kao sveobuhvatni sustav
03:27
for doing many, many things.
70
195607
1410
za mnoge stvari.
03:29
But for our purposes, chief among them
was training yourself
was training yourself
71
197540
4189
No nama je najvažnije obučavanje sebe
03:33
to separate what you can control
from what you cannot control,
from what you cannot control,
72
201753
3447
kako bi odvojili ono na što možemo
utjecati od onoga na što ne možemo
utjecati od onoga na što ne možemo
03:37
and then doing exercises
to focus exclusively
to focus exclusively
73
205224
3058
i zatim vježbanje
kako bi se usredotočili isključivo
kako bi se usredotočili isključivo
03:40
on the former.
74
208306
1151
na ovo prvo.
03:41
This decreases emotional reactivity,
75
209481
2378
To smanjuje emotivnu reaktivnost,
03:43
which can be a superpower.
76
211883
1548
što može postati supermoć.
03:46
Conversely, let's say
you're a quarterback.
you're a quarterback.
77
214163
2861
Primjerice, zamislite
da igrate na poziciji vođe napada.
da igrate na poziciji vođe napada.
03:49
You miss a pass.
You get furious with yourself.
You get furious with yourself.
78
217048
2192
Propustite dodavanje.
Razbjesnite se na sebe.
Razbjesnite se na sebe.
03:51
That could cost you a game.
79
219264
1506
Zbog toga možete izgubiti.
03:53
If you're a CEO, and you fly
off the handle at a very valued employee
off the handle at a very valued employee
80
221278
3910
Ako ste direktor tvrtke i izgubite
živce s cijenjenim zaposlenikom,
živce s cijenjenim zaposlenikom,
03:57
because of a minor infraction,
81
225212
1500
zbog manje pogreške,
03:58
that could cost you the employee.
82
226736
2011
mogli biste izgubiti zaposlenika.
04:01
If you're a college student
who, say, is in a downward spiral,
who, say, is in a downward spiral,
83
229581
4698
Ako studirate,
sve vam je krenulo nizbrdo
sve vam je krenulo nizbrdo
04:06
and you feel helpless and hopeless,
84
234938
2155
i osjećate se bespomoćno i beznadno,
04:09
unabated, that could cost you your life.
85
237117
1977
to bi vas moglo stajati života.
04:11
So the stakes are very, very high.
86
239118
2259
Ulozi su vrlo, vrlo visoki.
04:14
And there are many tools
in the toolkit to get you there.

87
242258
3137
Mnogo je alata koji
vam mogu pomoći da to postignete.

04:17
I'm going to focus on one
that completely changed my life in 2004.
that completely changed my life in 2004.
88
245419
3837
Usredotočit ću se na jedan koji
mi je potpuno promijenio život u 2004.
mi je potpuno promijenio život u 2004.
04:21
It found me then because of two things:
89
249988
2631
Tada me pronašao iz dva razloga:
04:24
a very close friend, young guy, my age,
died of pancreatic cancer unexpectedly,

90
252643
5365
blizak prijatelj, mladić moje dobi,
iznenada je preminuo od raka gušterače,

04:30
and then my girlfriend, who I thought
I was going to marry, walked out.
I was going to marry, walked out.
91
258032
3828
a moja djevojka, koju sam
htio oženiti, ostavila me.
htio oženiti, ostavila me.
04:33
She'd had enough, and she didn't
give me a Dear John letter,
give me a Dear John letter,
92
261884
4045
Bilo joj je dosta.
Nije mi napisala pismo,
Nije mi napisala pismo,
04:37
but she did give me this,
93
265953
2351
nego mi je dala ovo.
04:40
a Dear John plaque.
94
268328
1312
Plaketu.
04:41
(Laughter)
95
269664
1048
(Smijeh)
04:42
I'm not making this up. I've kept it.
96
270736
1785
Ne izmišljam to. Zadržao sam je.
04:44
"Business hours are over at five o'clock."
97
272545
2637
"Radno vrijeme završava nakon 17 h."
04:47
She gave this to me
to put on my desk for personal health,
to put on my desk for personal health,
98
275206
2766
Dala mi je to kao
podsjetnik na moje zdravlje
podsjetnik na moje zdravlje
04:49
because at the time, I was working
on my first real business.
on my first real business.
99
277996
3269
jer sam tada radio
na svom prvom pravom poslu.
na svom prvom pravom poslu.
04:53
I had no idea what I was doing.
I was working 14-plus hour days,
I was working 14-plus hour days,

281289
3119
Nisam imao pojma što radim.
Radio sam preko 14 sati dnevno,

04:56
seven days a week.
101
284432
1433
sedam dana u tjednu.
04:58
I was using stimulants to get going.
102
286298
2294
Uzimao sam stimulanse
kako bih funkcionirao,
kako bih funkcionirao,
05:00
I was using depressants
to wind down and go to sleep.
to wind down and go to sleep.
103
288616
2581
uzimao sam antidepresive
da se odmorim i zaspem.
da se odmorim i zaspem.
05:03
It was a disaster.
104
291221
1191
Bila je to katastrofa.
05:04
I felt completely trapped.
105
292436
1504
Osjećao sam se kao u zamci.
05:06
I bought a book on simplicity
to try to find answers.
to try to find answers.
106
294645
4067
Kupio sam knjigu o jednostavnosti
kako bih pokušao pronaći odgovore.
kako bih pokušao pronaći odgovore.
05:10
And I did find a quote
that made a big difference in my life,
that made a big difference in my life,
107
298736
3829
I pronašao sam citat
koji mi je jako promijenio život,
koji mi je jako promijenio život,
05:14
which was, "We suffer more often
in imagination than in reality,"
in imagination than in reality,"
108
302589
5147
"Češće patimo u mašti nego u stvarnosti,"
05:19
by Seneca the Younger,
109
307760
1784
Seneke Mlađeg,
05:21
who was a famous Stoic writer.
110
309568
1623
poznatog predstavnika stoicizma.
05:23
That took me to his letters,
111
311215
1816
To me je odvelo njegovim pismima,
05:25
which took me to the exercise,
112
313055
2453
koja su me odvela vježbi,
05:27
"premeditatio malorum,"
113
315532
2503
"premeditatio malorum,"
05:30
which means the pre-meditation of evils.
114
318059
2296
što znači premeditacija zala.
05:32
In simple terms,
115
320379
1156
Jednostavno rečeno,
05:33
this is visualizing the worst-case
scenarios, in detail, that you fear,
scenarios, in detail, that you fear,
116
321559
5119
riječ je o vizualizaciji najgoreg
mogućeg scenarija, onoga čega se bojite,
mogućeg scenarija, onoga čega se bojite,
05:38
preventing you from taking action,
117
326702

a što vas sprječava u djelovanju,
05:40
so that you can take action
to overcome that paralysis.
to overcome that paralysis.
118
328443
2740
kako biste mogli nadvladati tu paralizu.
05:43
My problem was monkey mind --
super loud, very incessant.
super loud, very incessant.
119
331207
3889
Moj je problem bio majmunski um --
vrlo glasan, ustrajan.
vrlo glasan, ustrajan.
05:47
Just thinking my way
through problems doesn't work.

Samo razmišljanjem
ne mogu riješiti probleme.
ne mogu riješiti probleme.
05:49
I needed to capture my thoughts on paper.
121
337733
2025
Morao sam zabilježiti misli na papiru.
05:51
So I created a written exercise
122
339782
1967
Tako sam osmislio pisanu vježbu,
05:53
that I called "fear-setting,"
like goal-setting,
like goal-setting,
123
341773
2382
"postavljanje strahova,"
poput postavljanja ciljeva,
poput postavljanja ciljeva,
05:56
for myself.
124
344179
1169
za sebe.
05:57
It consists of three pages.
125
345372
2099
Sadrži tri stranice.
05:59
Super simple.
126
347908
1261
Jednostavna je.
06:01
The first page is right here.
127
349587
2210
Ovo je prva stranica.
06:03
"What if I ...?"
128
351821
2176
"Što ako ...?"
06:06
This is whatever you fear,
129
354021
1557
To je bilo što čega se bojite,
06:07
whatever is causing you anxiety,
130
355602
2083
što vam izaziva osjećaj tjeskobe,
06:09
whatever you're putting off.
131
357709
1361
što odgađate.
06:11
It could be asking someone out,
132
359094
1487
Možda poziv na spoj,
06:12
ending a relationship,
133
360605
1624
prekid veze,
06:14
asking for a promotion,
quitting a job, starting a company.
quitting a job, starting a company.
134
362253
3038
traženje promaknuća,
otkaz, osnivanje tvrtke.
otkaz, osnivanje tvrtke.
06:17
It could be anything.
135
365315
1157
To može biti bilo što.
06:18
For me, it was taking
my first vacation in four years
my first vacation in four years
136
366496
3032
Za mene, bilo je to uzimanje
prvog odmora u četiri godine
prvog odmora u četiri godine
06:21
and stepping away from my business
for a month to go to London,
for a month to go to London,
137
369552
3007
i odstupanje od svog posla
za jedan mjesec u Londonu,
za jedan mjesec u Londonu,
06:24
where I could stay
in a friend's room for free,
in a friend's room for free,
138
372583
3044
gdje sam mogao besplatno
boraviti kod prijatelja
boraviti kod prijatelja
06:27
to either remove myself
as a bottleneck in the business
as a bottleneck in the business
139
375651
2706
kako bih se ili udaljio
jer sam postao smetnja na poslu
jer sam postao smetnja na poslu
06:30
or shut it down.
140
378381
1245
ili ugasio poduzeće.
06:32
In the first column, "Define,"
141
380525
1958
U prvom stupcu, "Definiraj,"
06:34
you're writing down all of the worst
things you can imagine happening
things you can imagine happening
142
382507
3504
pišete najgore stvari
koje mislite da bi se mogle dogoditi
koje mislite da bi se mogle dogoditi
06:38
if you take that step.
143
386035
1551
ako poduzmete taj korak.
06:39
You want 10 to 20.
144
387610
1562
Njih deset do dvadeset.
06:41
I won't go through all of them,
but I'll give you two examples.
but I'll give you two examples.
145
389196
3020
Neću ih sve analizirati,
no dat ću vam dva primjera.
no dat ću vam dva primjera.
06:44
One was, I'll go to London,
it'll be rainy, I'll get depressed,
it'll be rainy, I'll get depressed,
146
392240
3716
Jedan je bio, otići ću u London,
bit će kišno, to će me deprimirati,
bit će kišno, to će me deprimirati,
06:47
the whole thing will be
a huge waste of time.
a huge waste of time.
147
395980
2223
sve će to biti ogroman gubitak vremena.
06:50
Number two, I'll miss
a letter from the IRS,
a letter from the IRS,
148
398227
2804
Drugi, propustit ću pismo Porezne uprave,
06:53
and I'll get audited
149
401055
1515
doći će mi u nadzor,
06:54
or raided or shut down or some such.
150
402594
2538
zaplijeniti imovinu,
zatvoriti mi tvrtku i slično.
zatvoriti mi tvrtku i slično.
06:57
And then you go to the "Prevent" column.
151
405585
1974
Zatim popunjavate stupac "Spriječi."
06:59
In that column, you write
down the answer to:
down the answer to:
152
407583
2150
U tom stupcu odgovarate na pitanja:
07:01
What could I do to prevent
each of these bullets from happening,
each of these bullets from happening,
153
409757
3095
Kako mogu spriječiti da se sve to dogodi
07:04
or, at the very least, decrease
the likelihood even a little bit?
the likelihood even a little bit?
154
412876
3474
ili barem smanjiti
vjerojatnost da će se to dogoditi?
vjerojatnost da će se to dogoditi?
07:08
So for getting depressed in London,
155
416829
2395
Za slučaj da se osjećam
depresivno u Londonu,
depresivno u Londonu,
07:11
I could take a portable blue light with me
156
419248
2014
mogu ponijeti prenosivu plavu svjetiljku
07:13
and use it for 15 minutes in the morning.
157
421286
1995
i koristiti je 15 minuta ujutro.
07:15
I knew that helped stave off
depressive episodes.
depressive episodes.
158
423305
2655
Znao sam da mi to pomaže
kod depresivnih epizoda.
kod depresivnih epizoda.
07:17
For the IRS bit, I could change
the mailing address on file with the IRS
the mailing address on file with the IRS
159
425984
3871
Što se Porezne tiče, mogao
sam promijeniti adresu isporuke
sam promijeniti adresu isporuke
07:21
so the paperwork would go to my accountant
160
429879
2067
kako bi pošiljke
uputili mom računovođi,
uputili mom računovođi,
07:23
instead of to my UPS address.
161
431970
1953
a ne na moju adresu.
07:25
Easy-peasy.
162
433947
1449
Vrlo jednostavno.
07:27
Then we go to "Repair."
163
435420
2042
Zatim prelazimo na "Popravi."
07:30
So if the worst-case scenarios happen,
164
438238
2470
Ako se najgori
mogući scenarij ostvari,
mogući scenarij ostvari,
07:32
what could you do to repair
the damage even a little bit,
the damage even a little bit,
165
440732
2966
što možete učiniti kako
biste barem malo popravili štetu
biste barem malo popravili štetu
07:35
or who could you ask for help?
166
443722
1766
ili tko bi mogao pomoći?
07:38
So in the first case, London,
167
446431
1489
U prvom slučaju, London,
07:39
well, I could fork over some money,
fly to Spain, get some sun --
fly to Spain, get some sun --
168
447944
3675
mogao bih prikupiti nešto novca,
otići u Španjolsku, malo se osunčati --
otići u Španjolsku, malo se osunčati --
07:43
undo the damage, if I got into a funk.
169
451643
2647
poništiti štetu, ako postanem depresivan.
07:46
In the case of missing
a letter from the IRS,
a letter from the IRS,
170
454314
2409
U slučaju propuštanja pisma od Porezne,
07:48
I could call a friend who is a lawyer
171
456747
2441
mogao bih nazvati prijatelja odvjetnika
07:51
or ask, say, a professor of law
172
459212
2494
ili pitati profesora koji predaje pravo
07:54
what they would recommend,
173
462777
1301
što bi oni preporučili,
07:56
who I should talk to,
how had people handled this in the past.
how had people handled this in the past.
174
464102
3196
kome se obratiti,
kako su drugi rješavali slične probleme.
kako su drugi rješavali slične probleme.
07:59
So one question to keep in mind
as you're doing this first page is:
as you're doing this first page is:
175
467322
4037
Pitanje koje treba imati na umu
dok radite na prvoj stranici, jest:
dok radite na prvoj stranici, jest:
08:03
Has anyone else in the history of time
176
471383
2157
Je li itko ikada,
08:05
less intelligent or less driven
177
473564
2107
manje inteligentan ili manje motiviran,
08:07
figured this out?
178
475695
1224
riješio ovakav problem?
08:09
Chances are, the answer is "Yes."
179
477383
2296
Vjerojatno je odgovor: "Da."
08:11
(Laughter)
180
479703
1002
(Smijeh)
08:12
The second page is simple:
181
480729
3077
Druga stranica je jednostavna:
08:16
What might be the benefits
of an attempt or a partial success?
of an attempt or a partial success?
182
484253
3421
Koje bi mogle biti prednosti
pokušaja ili djelomičnog uspjeha?
pokušaja ili djelomičnog uspjeha?
08:19
You can see we're playing up the fears
183
487698
1811
Vidite da preuveličavamo strahove
08:21
and really taking a conservative
look at the upside.
look at the upside.
184
489533
2882
i s oprezom gledamo
na pozitivna očekivanja.
na pozitivna očekivanja.
08:24
So if you attempted whatever
you're considering,
you're considering,
185
492924
2366
Ako pokušate to što razmatrate,
08:27
might you build confidence,
develop skills,
develop skills,
186
495314
2184
može li to poboljšati vaše vještine,
08:29
emotionally, financially, otherwise?
187
497522
2782
emocionalno, financijski ili drukčije?
08:32
What might be the benefits
of, say, a base hit?
of, say, a base hit?
188
500328
2739
Koje su prednosti, recimo, osvajanja baze?
08:35
Spend 10 to 15 minutes on this.
189
503091
2067
Provedite 10 do 15 minuta na ovome.
08:37
Page three.
190
505182
1546
Stranica tri.
08:38
This might be the most important,
so don't skip it:
so don't skip it:
191
506752
2412
Ovo je možda najvažnije,
pa to nemojte preskočiti:
pa to nemojte preskočiti:
08:41
"The Cost of Inaction."
192
509188
1550
"Cijena nedjelovanja."
08:42
Humans are very good at considering
what might go wrong
what might go wrong
193
510762
2908
Ljudi jako dobro mogu
predvidjeti što može poći po zlu
predvidjeti što može poći po zlu
08:45
if we try something new,
say, ask for a raise.
say, ask for a raise.
194
513694
3389
ako pokušaju nešto novo,
kao recimo zatražiti povišicu.
kao recimo zatražiti povišicu.
08:49
What we don't often consider
is the atrocious cost of the status quo --
is the atrocious cost of the status quo --
195
517107
5598
Često ne uzimamo u obzir
strašnu cijenu statusa quo --
strašnu cijenu statusa quo --
08:54
not changing anything.
196
522729
1434
nepromijenjenog stanja.
08:56
So you should ask yourself,
197
524959
1851
Trebate se zapitati,
08:58
if I avoid this action or decision
198
526834
3200
ako izbjegnem ovu aktivnost ili odluku
09:03
and actions and decisions like it,
199
531042
2523
i slične aktivnosti i odluke,
09:05
what might my life look like in,
say, six months, 12 months, three years?
say, six months, 12 months, three years?
200
533589
4757
kako bi moj život mogao izgledati
za šest, dvanaest mjeseci ili tri godine?
za šest, dvanaest mjeseci ili tri godine?
09:10
Any further out, it starts
to seem intangible.
to seem intangible.
201
538370
2488
Sve dalje od toga,
bit će teško pojmljivo.
bit će teško pojmljivo.
09:12
And really get detailed --
again, emotionally, financially,
again, emotionally, financially,
202
540882
3847
I budite što iscrpniji --
emocionalno, financijski,
emocionalno, financijski,
09:16
physically, whatever.
203
544753
1198
fizički, itd.
09:18
And when I did this, it painted
a terrifying picture.
a terrifying picture.
204
546571
2703
Kada sam to učinio,
budućnost se doimala strašnom.
budućnost se doimala strašnom.
09:21
I was self-medicating,
205
549298
1536
To me izlječilo.
09:23
my business was going to implode
at any moment at all times,
at any moment at all times,
206
551417
3761
Moj je posao u svakom
trenutku mogao propasti
trenutku mogao propasti
09:27
if I didn't step away.
207
555202
1165
da nisam odstupio.
09:28
My relationships were fraying or failing.
208
556391
2533
Bio sam u lošim odnosima s drugima.
09:30
And I realized that inaction
was no longer an option for me.
was no longer an option for me.
209
558948
4101
Shvatio sam da nedjelovanje
za mene više nije mogućnost.
za mene više nije mogućnost.
09:36
Those are the three pages. That's it.
That's fear-setting.
That's fear-setting.
210
564131
2791
To su tri stranice. To je to.
To je postavljanje strahova.
To je postavljanje strahova.
09:38
And after this, I realized
that on a scale of one to 10,
that on a scale of one to 10,
211
566946
3591
Nakon toga sam shvatio,
na ljestvici od jedan do 10,
na ljestvici od jedan do 10,
09:42
one being minimal impact,
10 being maximal impact,
10 being maximal impact,
212
570561
3567
pri čemu je jedan minimalni,
a deset maksimalni učinak,
a deset maksimalni učinak,
09:46
if I took the trip, I was risking
213
574152
1642
odlaskom na put riskirao sam
09:47
a one to three of temporary
and reversible pain
and reversible pain
214
575818
3334
privremenu i reverzibilnu bol
jačine od jedan do tri
jačine od jedan do tri
09:51
for an eight to 10 of positive,
life-changing impact
life-changing impact
215
579176
4011
za prekretnicu u životu,
pozitivan učinak jačine osam do deset,
pozitivan učinak jačine osam do deset,
09:55
that could be a semi-permanent.
216
583211
1602
koji bi mogao biti polutrajan.
09:57
So I took the trip.
217
585389
1774
Stoga sam otišao na put.
09:59
None of the disasters came to pass.
218
587187
1775
Nijedan se strah nije ostvario.
10:00
There were some hiccups, sure.
219
588986
1495
Bilo je poteškoća, naravno.
10:02
I was able to extricate myself
from the business.
from the business.
220
590505
2542
Uspio sam se osloboditi posla.
10:05
I ended up extending that trip
for a year and a half around the world,
for a year and a half around the world,
221
593071
3858
Taj se put pretvorio u put oko svijeta
i trajao je godinu i pol
i trajao je godinu i pol
10:08
and that became the basis
for my first book,
for my first book,
222
596953
2206
te je postao temeljem moje prve knjige,
10:11
that leads me here today.
223
599183
1477
što me danas dovodi ovamo.
10:12
And I can trace all of my biggest wins
224
600684
3332
Neke od mojih najvećih pobjeda
10:16
and all of my biggest disasters averted
225
604040
2903
i izbjegnutih katastrofa
10:18
back to doing fear-setting
226
606967
1882
zahvaljujem postavljanju strahova,
10:20
at least once a quarter.
227
608873
1571
barem četiri puta godišnje.
10:23
It's not a panacea.
228
611240
1169
Nije to lijek za sve.
10:24
You'll find that some of your fears
are very well-founded.
are very well-founded.
229
612433
2890
Otkrit ćete da su neki
strahovi utemeljeni.
strahovi utemeljeni.
10:27
(Laughter)
230
615347
1055
(Smijeh)
10:28
But you shouldn't conclude that
231
616426
1651
No to trebate zaključiti
10:30
without first putting them
under a microscope.
under a microscope.
232
618101
2547
nakon što ih stavite pod povećalo.
10:33
And it doesn't make all the hard times,
the hard choices, easy,
the hard choices, easy,
233
621324
3209
I ne postanu sva
teška razdoblja, svi teški izbori laki,
teška razdoblja, svi teški izbori laki,
10:36
but it can make a lot of them easier.
234
624557
1951
no može postati lakše.
10:39
I'd like to close with a profile
of one of my favorite modern-day Stoics.
of one of my favorite modern-day Stoics.
235
627185
4389
Volio bih završiti s profilom
jednog od omiljenih modernih stoika.
jednog od omiljenih modernih stoika.
10:44

He can still kick my ass and probably

Još me može srediti
kao i većinu u ovoj sobi.

10:59
He's an impressive guy.
242
647437

Izaziva divljenje.
11:00
I spent a lot of time
on his stoa, his porch,

with stoicism,

but he pointed out, for all

koristio je stoicizam i nešto
slično postavljanju strahova,

12:11
which blew my mind.
270
719268
1162
što me oduševilo.
12:12
And he closed with two things.
271
720454
1647
I završio je s dvije napomene.
12:14
Number one: he couldn't imagine
any life more beautiful

272
722125

Prva: nema ljepšeg života

12:20
And the last was his mantra,
which he applies to everything,

2928
A druga je bila njegova mantra
koju primjenjuje na sve
koju primjenjuje na sve
12:23
and you can apply to everything:
275
731765
2124
i koju vi možete primijeniti na sve:
12:27
"Easy choices, hard life.
276
735404
2009
"Laki izbori, težak život.
12:30
Hard choices, easy life."
277
738057
2509
Teški izbori, lak život."
12:34
The hard choices --
278
742272
1977
Teški izbori --
12:36
what we most fear doing, asking, saying --
279
744273
3809
sve što se bojimo
učiniti, pitati, reći --
učiniti, pitati, reći --
12:41
these are very often exactly
what we most need to do.
what we most need to do.
280
749021
3550
često je to ono što
najviše trebamo učiniti.
najviše trebamo učiniti.
12:45
And the biggest challenges
and problems we face
and problems we face
281
753968
2489
A najveći problemi
s kojima se suočavamo
s kojima se suočavamo
12:48
will never be solved
with comfortable conversations,
with comfortable conversations,
282
756481

nikada neće biti riješeni
ugodnim razgovorima,

whether it's in your own head
or with other people.
or with other people.
283

bilo to u vlastitoj glavi ili s drugima.
12:55
So I encourage you to ask yourselves:
284
763364
1805
Potičem vas da se zapitate:
12:57
Where in your lives right now
285
765193
1915
Gdje je u vašim životima sada
12:59
might defining your fears be more
important than defining your goals?
important than defining your goals?
286
767132
4794
važnije odrediti strahove nego ciljeve?
13:04
Keeping in mind all the while,
the words of Seneca:
the words of Seneca:
287
772966
3205
Imajte na umu Senekine riječi:
13:08
"We suffer more often
in imagination than in reality."
in imagination than in reality."
288

"Češće patimo u mašti nego u stvarnosti."
