I coined my own definition of success

Definiciju uspjeha skovao sam 1934.
00:15
in 1934, when I was teaching at a high school in South Bend, Indiana,
1
3000
4000
kao učitelj u srednjoj školi
u South Bendu, u Indiani,
u South Bendu, u Indiani,
00:19
being a little bit disappointed, and delusioned perhaps, by
2
7000
5000
pomalo razočaran, možda i obmanut,
00:24
the way parents of the youngsters in my English classes
3
12000
4000
načinom kako su roditelji djece
kojoj sam predavao engleski jezik
kojoj sam predavao engleski jezik
00:28
expected their youngsters to
4
16000
3000
očekivali od djece
da dobiju petice ili četvorke.
da dobiju petice ili četvorke.
00:31
get an A or a B. They thought a C was all right for the neighbors' children,
5
19000
3000
Smatrali su da je trojka dobra
za djecu njihovih susjeda,
za djecu njihovih susjeda,
00:34
because the neighbors children are all average.
6
22000
3000
jer su ona sva bila prosječna.
00:37
But they weren't satisfied when their own --
7
25000
2000
No, nisu bili zadovoljni
kad bi njihova djeca
kad bi njihova djeca
00:39
would make the teacher feel that they had failed, or the youngster had failed.
8
27000
4000
učitelju dala povoda da pomisli da
su oni ili njihovo dijete neuspješni.
su oni ili njihovo dijete neuspješni.
00:43
And that's not right. The good Lord in his infinite wisdom
9
31000
2000
A to nije dobro.
Dobri i mudri Bog nije nas
sve stvorio jednakima,
sve stvorio jednakima,
00:45
didn't create us all equal as far as intelligence is concerned,
10
33000
3000
barem što se inteligencije tiče,
00:48
any more than we're equal for size, appearance.
11
36000
4000
ništa više no što smo
jednaki visinom ili izgledom.
jednaki visinom ili izgledom.
Nije svatko mogao dobiti pet ili četiri,
nije mi se takvo razmišljanje sviđalo.
nije mi se takvo razmišljanje sviđalo.
00:52
Not everybody could earn an A or a B, and I didn't like that way of judging it.
12
40000
3000
00:55
And I did know how the alumni of various schools
13
43000
4000
Znao sam da su bivši učenici raznih škola
00:59
back in the 30s judged coaches and athletic teams.
14
47000
4000
još u 1930-ima ocjenjivali
svoje trenere i sportske ekipe.
svoje trenere i sportske ekipe.
01:03
If you won them all, you were considered to be reasonably successful --
15
51000
5000
Ako ste pobijedili sve, smatrali
su vas razmjerno uspješnima.
su vas razmjerno uspješnima.
01:08
not completely. Because I found out --
16
56000
3000
Ne potpuno.
Ustanovio sam
01:11
we had a number of years at UCLA where we didn't lose a game.
17
59000
3000
da mi na UCLA-u niz godina
nismo izgubili utakmicu.
nismo izgubili utakmicu.
01:14
But it seemed that we didn't win each individual game by the margin
18
62000
4000
No, nismo svaku pojedinu utakmicu
dobili razlikom kakvu su naši
bivši učenici često predviđali...
bivši učenici često predviđali...
01:18
that some of our alumni had predicted and
19
66000
2000
01:20
quite frequently I --
20
68000
2000
(Smijeh)
01:22
(Laughter)
21
70000
2000
01:24
-- quite frequently I really felt that they had backed up their predictions
22
72000
3000
Prilično mi se često činilo da
su oni svoje prognoze poduprli
su oni svoje prognoze poduprli
01:27
in a more materialistic manner.
23
75000
4000
na neki materijalističniji način.
(Smijeh)
01:31
But that was true back in the 30s, so I understood that.
24
79000
3000
Jasno mi je da je to u 1930-ima bilo tako.
01:34
But I didn't like it. And I didn't agree with it.
25
82000
2000
Ali nije mi se sviđalo,
niti sam se s time slagao.
niti sam se s time slagao.
01:36
And I wanted to come up with something that I hoped could make me a better teacher,
26
84000
3000
Želio sam smisliti nešto što
bi me učinilo boljim učiteljem,
bi me učinilo boljim učiteljem,
01:39
and give the youngsters under my supervision --
27
87000
2000
čime bih toj svojoj mladeži,
01:41
whether it be in athletics or in the English classroom --
28
89000
3000
u sportu ili u engleskom jeziku,
01:44
something to which to aspire,
29
92000
2000
dao nešto čemu bi težili,
01:46
other than just a higher mark
30
94000
3000
različito od samo viših ocjena
01:49
in the classroom, or more points in some athletic contest.
31
97000
3000
ili više osvojenih bodova
na nekom sportskom natjecanju.
na nekom sportskom natjecanju.
01:52
I thought about that for quite a spell,
32
100000
3000
Dugo sam o tome razmišljao
i želio smisliti neku vlastitu definiciju.
01:55
and I wanted to come up with my own definition. I thought that might help.
33
103000
3000
Mislio sam da ću tako pomoći.
01:58
And I knew how Mr. Webster defined it:
34
106000
3000
Znao sam kako je to g. Webster definirao:
02:01
as the accumulation of material possessions
35
109000
2000
kao nakupljanje materijalne imovine,
02:03
or the attainment of a position of power or prestige, or something of that sort --
36
111000
4000
ili zauzimanje neke
moćne pozicije, prestiža,
moćne pozicije, prestiža,
02:07
worthy accomplishments perhaps,
37
115000
2000
vrijednih postignuća, možda.
02:09
but in my opinion not necessarily indicative of success.
38
117000
4000
Ali, po mome mišljenju,
to nije nužno znak uspjeha.
to nije nužno znak uspjeha.
Želio sam osmisliti nešto svoje.
02:13
So I wanted to come up with something of my own.
39
121000
2000
02:15
And I recalled -- I was raised on a small farm in Southern Indiana
40
123000
4000
I prisjetio sam se...
Odrastao sam na maloj farmi
u južnoj Indiani;
u južnoj Indiani;
02:19
and Dad tried to teach me and my brothers
41
127000
2000
tata se trudio poučiti mene i moju braću
02:21
that you should never try to be better than someone else.
42
129000
3000
da nikad ne pokušavamo
biti bolji od drugih.
biti bolji od drugih.
02:24
I'm sure at the time he did that, I didn't -- it didn't --
43
132000
4000
Siguran sam da u doba
kad je on to činio, ja nisam...
kad je on to činio, ja nisam...
02:28
well, somewhere, I guess in the hidden recesses of mind,
44
136000
3000
... pretpostavljam, negdje u
skrivenim zakucima moga uma
skrivenim zakucima moga uma
02:31
it popped out years later.
45
139000
2000
ukazalo se godinama kasnije:
02:33
Never try to be better than someone else,
46
141000
2000
Nikad ne pokušavaj biti bolji od drugoga.
02:35
always learn from others. Never cease
47
143000
3000
Uvijek uči od drugih.
Uvijek nastoj biti najbolji što možeš.
02:38
trying to be the best you can be -- that's under your control.
48
146000
2000
Nad time imaš kontrolu.
02:40
If you get too engrossed and involved and concerned
49
148000
3000
Obuzme li te, angažiraš li se
ili brineš suviše
ili brineš suviše
02:43
in regard to the things over which you have no control,
50
151000
2000
o stvarima nad kojima
nemaš nikakvu kontrolu,
nemaš nikakvu kontrolu,
02:45
it will adversely affect the things over which you have control.
51
153000
4000
to će negativno utjecati na sve ono
nad čime imaš kontrolu.
nad čime imaš kontrolu.
02:49
Then I ran across this simple verse that said,
52
157000
3000
Potom sam naišao na ovaj
jednostavan stih koji kaže:
jednostavan stih koji kaže:
"Pred Božje noge radi ispovijedi,
02:52
"At God's footstool to confess, a poor soul knelt, and bowed his head.
53
160000
3000
nevoljno biće kleknu i pokloni se.
02:55
'I failed!' He cried.
54
163000
2000
'Nisam uspio!' - zavapi.
02:57
The Master said, 'Thou didst thy best, that is success.'"
55
165000
5000
Gospodin reče: "Ti dade
najbolje od sebe - to jest uspjeh."
najbolje od sebe - to jest uspjeh."
03:02
From those things, and one other perhaps,
56
170000
2000
Iz svega toga i možda još koječega,
03:04
I coined my own definition of success,
57
172000
2000
skovao sam vlastitu definiciju uspjeha:
03:06
which is: peace of mind attained only through
58
174000
3000
"Duševni mir ostvaren
kroz vlastito zadovoljstvo
kroz vlastito zadovoljstvo
03:09
self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best
59
177000
3000
spoznajom da smo se potrudili
učiniti najbolje što smo bili sposobni."
učiniti najbolje što smo bili sposobni."
03:12
of which you're capable.
60
180000
2000
Vjerujem da je to istina.
03:14
I believe that's true. If you make the effort
61
182000
2000
Potrudite li se učiniti
najbolje što ste u stanju
najbolje što ste u stanju
03:16
to do the best of which you're capable, to try and improve the situation
62
184000
3000
i nastojite popraviti okolnosti
u kojima se nalazite -
u kojima se nalazite -
03:19
that exists for you, I think that's success.
63
187000
3000
mislim da je to uspjeh.
I mislim da drugi o tome ne mogu suditi.
03:22
And I don't think others can judge that. I think it's like character and reputation.
64
190000
3000
To je poput karaktera ili ugleda:
03:25
Your reputation is what you are perceived to be;
65
193000
3000
Vaš ugled proizlazi iz toga
kakvima vas drugi vide;
kakvima vas drugi vide;
03:28
your character is what you really are.
66
196000
2000
vaš karakter je tko vi uistinu jeste.
03:30
And I think that character is much more
67
198000
3000
A mislim da je karakter mnogo značajniji
03:33
important than what you are perceived to be.
68
201000
2000
od onoga kakvima vas drugi vide.
03:35
You'd hope they'd both be good,
69
203000
2000
Nadate se da će oboje biti dobri,
03:37
but they won't necessarily be the same.
70
205000
3000
ali neće nužno biti jednaki.
To je, dakle, bila zamisao koju
sam nastojao prenijeti tim mladima.
sam nastojao prenijeti tim mladima.
03:40
Well, that was my idea that I was going to try to get across to the youngsters.
71
208000
4000
03:44
I ran across other things. I love to teach,
72
212000
2000
Otkrivao sam i druge stvari...
Volim poučavati, a prethodni
je govornik spomenuo
03:46
and it was mentioned by the previous speaker
73
214000
5000
da uživam u poeziji, brljam
po njoj pomalo i volim je.
po njoj pomalo i volim je.
03:51
that I enjoy poetry, and I dabble in it a bit, and love it.
74
219000
2000
03:53
There are some things that helped me, I think,
75
221000
3000
Neke su mi stvari pomogle
03:56
be better than I would have been. I know I'm not what I ought to be,
76
224000
3000
da budem bolji no što sam mogao biti.
Znam da nisam tko sam
trebao biti, tko bih trebao biti.
trebao biti, tko bih trebao biti.
03:59
not what I should be. But I think I'm better than I would have been
77
227000
3000
Ali mislim da sam bolji no što bih bio
04:02
if I hadn't run across certain things.
78
230000
2000
da na ponešto nisam slučajno naišao.
04:04
One was just a little verse that said,
79
232000
3000
Jedno od njih bio je stih koji glasi:
04:07
"No written word, no spoken plea
80
235000
5000
"Nikakva pisana riječ,
ni izgovorena molba
ni izgovorena molba
04:12
can teach our youth what they should be.
81
240000
3000
naše mlade ne može poučiti
što bi trebali biti.
što bi trebali biti.
04:15
Nor all the books on all the shelves --
82
243000
2000
Ni sve knjige na policama,
04:17
it's what the teachers are themselves."
83
245000
2000
već su to učitelji."
04:19
That made an impression on me
84
247000
2000
To me se dojmilo tada, 1930-ih.
04:21
in the 1930s.
85
249000
3000
I nastojao sam to koristiti
u svom poučavanju,
u svom poučavanju,
04:24
And I tried to use that more or less in my teaching,
86
252000
3000
04:27
whether it be in sports, or whether it be in the English classroom.
87
255000
7000
bilo to na sportskom terenu,
ili u učionici, na satu engleskog.
ili u učionici, na satu engleskog.
Volim poeziju i oduvijek
me pomalo zanimala.
me pomalo zanimala.
04:34
I love poetry and always had an interest in that somehow.
88
262000
4000
04:38
Maybe it's because Dad used to read to us at night.
89
266000
4000
Možda je to zato što nam je
tata običavao noću čitati,
tata običavao noću čitati,
04:42
Coal oil lamp -- we didn't have electricity
90
270000
2000
uz petrolejku...
Na našoj farmi nismo imali struje.
04:44
in our farm home.
91
272000
3000
Tata bi nam čitao poeziju.
I tako sam je zavolio.
I tako sam je zavolio.
04:47
And Dad would read poetry to us. So I always liked it.
92
275000
2000
04:49
And about the same time I ran across this one verse,
93
277000
3000
Otprilike u isto doba kad
sam naišao na taj stih,
sam naišao na taj stih,
04:52
I ran across another one. Someone asked
94
280000
2000
naišao sam i na još jedan.
Netko je pitao učiteljicu zašto poučava.
04:54
a lady teacher why she taught.
95
282000
3000
04:57
And she -- after some time, she said she wanted to think about that.
96
285000
3000
Zamislila se i rekla da bi
o tome voljela razmisliti.
o tome voljela razmisliti.
05:00
Then she came up and said,
97
288000
2000
Potom je ustala i rekla:
05:02
"They ask me why I teach
98
290000
2000
"Pitaju me zašto poučavam, a ja odgovaram:
05:04
and I reply, 'Where could I find such splendid company?'
99
292000
4000
'A gdje bih mogla naći
takvo sjajno društvo?'
takvo sjajno društvo?'
Sjedi ondje državnik -
snažan, nepristran, mudar;
snažan, nepristran, mudar;
05:08
There sits a statesman, strong, unbiased, wise;
100
296000
3000
05:11
another Daniel Webster, silver-tongued.
101
299000
2000
drugi Daniel Webster, slatkorječiv.
05:13
A doctor sits beside him,
102
301000
2000
Uz njega sjedi liječnik čija brza,
staložena ruka može zakrpati kost,
staložena ruka može zakrpati kost,
05:15
whose quick steady hand may mend a bone,
103
303000
2000
05:17
or stem the life-blood's flow.
104
305000
3000
ili zaustaviti otjecanje krvi.
05:20
And there a builder. Upward rise the arch of a church he builds,
105
308000
3000
A ondje graditelj...
Uvis izdiže se luk crkve koju gradi,
Uvis izdiže se luk crkve koju gradi,
05:23
wherein that minister may speak the word of God
106
311000
2000
da bi svećenik ondje izgovarao riječ Božju
05:25
and lead a stumbling soul to touch the Christ.
107
313000
3000
i vodio posrnulu dušu do dodira Kristova.
05:28
And all about a gathering of teachers,
108
316000
2000
I sve to, okupljanje učitelja,
poljodjelaca, trgovaca, radnika;
05:30
farmers, merchants, laborers:
109
318000
2000
05:32
those who work and vote and build and plan and pray into a great tomorrow.
110
320000
4000
onih što rade, glasuju, grade,
planiraju i mole za veliko sutra.
05:36
And I may say, I may not see the church,
111
324000
4000
I mogla bih reći: Mogu i ne vidjeti crkvu
ili čuti riječ, ili jesti hranu
koju njihove ruke uzgajaju.
koju njihove ruke uzgajaju.
05:40
or hear the word or eat the food their hands may grow.
112
328000
2000
05:42
But yet again I may. And later I may say,
113
330000
3000
A opet - mogla bih.
I kasnije bih mogla reći:
05:45
I knew him once, and he was weak, or strong,
114
333000
2000
Poznavala sam ga, bio je slab, ili snažan,
ili hrabar, ili ponosit, ili živahan.
ili hrabar, ili ponosit, ili živahan.
05:47
or bold or proud or gay.
115
335000
2000
05:49
I knew him once, but then he was a boy.
116
337000
2000
Poznavala sam ga nekoć,
al' on tad bješe dječak.
al' on tad bješe dječak.
05:51
They ask me why I teach and I reply,
117
339000
2000
Pitaju me zašto poučavam,
a ja im odgovaram:
a ja im odgovaram:
05:53
'Where could I find such splendid company?'"
118
341000
3000
'Gdje bih mogla naći
takvo sjajno društvo?'"
takvo sjajno društvo?'"
05:56
And I believe the teaching profession --
119
344000
2000
Vjerujem da učiteljsko zanimanje...
05:58
it's true, you have so many youngsters.
120
346000
2000
istina je, toliko je mnogo mladih.
06:00
And I've got to think of my youngsters at UCLA --
121
348000
2000
Moram misliti na svoje mladiće s UCLA-a -
06:02
30-some attorneys, 11 dentists and doctors,
122
350000
5000
30-ak odvjetnika, 11 zubara i liječnika,
06:07
many, many teachers and other professions.
123
355000
4000
nebrojeno mnogo učitelja
i drugih profesionalaca.
i drugih profesionalaca.
06:11
And that gives you a great deal of pleasure,
124
359000
3000
Silan je užitak
06:14
to see them go on.
125
362000
3000
vidjeti ih kako napreduju.
Oduvijek sam nastojao da mladi
shvate da su ovdje radi obrazovanja;
shvate da su ovdje radi obrazovanja;
06:17
I always tried to make the youngsters feel
126
365000
2000
06:19
that they're there to get an education, number one.
127
367000
2000
najprije edukacija, a onda
košarka jer ih je ona hranila,
košarka jer ih je ona hranila,
06:21
Basketball was second, because it was paying their way,
128
369000
2000
06:23
and they do need a little time for social activities,
129
371000
3000
a trebat će im vremena i za druženje.
06:26
but you let social activities take a little precedence over the other two
130
374000
3000
Ali, dopustite li društvenim aktivnostima
da prevladaju nad ostalima dvjema,
da prevladaju nad ostalima dvjema,
06:29
and you're not going to have any very long.
131
377000
3000
ubrzo neće biti ni
obrazovanja, ni košarke.
obrazovanja, ni košarke.
06:32
So that was the ideas that I tried to get across
132
380000
5000
Te sam ideje nastojao prenijeti
06:37
to the youngsters under my supervision.
133
385000
2000
mladima koje sam ja pratio.
06:39
I had three rules, pretty much, that I stuck with practically all the time.
134
387000
4000
Imao sam tri pravila kojih sam se
pridržavao praktično sve vrijeme.
06:43
I'd learned these prior to coming to UCLA,
135
391000
2000
Usvojio sam ih prije dolaska na
UCLA i držao ih vrlo važnima.
UCLA i držao ih vrlo važnima.
06:45
and I decided they were very important.
136
393000
2000
06:47
One was -- never be late. Never be late.
137
395000
5000
Jedno je bilo: "Nikad ne kasni."
06:52
Later on I said certain things --
138
400000
3000
Kasnije sam znao reći:
06:55
I had -- players, if we're leaving for somewhere, had to be neat and clean.
139
403000
5000
Idemo li bilo kamo, igrači
moraju biti uredni i čisti.
moraju biti uredni i čisti.
07:00
There was a time when I made them wear jackets and shirts and ties.
140
408000
6000
Ponekad sam ih tjerao
da nose sakoe, košulje i kravate.
da nose sakoe, košulje i kravate.
07:06
Then I saw our chancellor coming to school
141
414000
2000
Onda sam vidio našeg upravitelja
u trapericama i u dolčeviti
u trapericama i u dolčeviti
07:08
in denims and turtlenecks, and I thought,
142
416000
4000
i pomislio sam kako mi to moje
drugo pravilo i nije u redu.
drugo pravilo i nije u redu.
07:12
not right for me to keep this other.
143
420000
2000
07:14
So I let them -- just they had to be neat and clean.
144
422000
3000
Trebali su samo biti uredni i čisti.
07:17
I had one of my greatest players that you probably heard of,
145
425000
4000
Čuli ste za jednog od mojih
najvećih igrača - Billa Waltona.
najvećih igrača - Billa Waltona.
07:21
Bill Walton. He came to catch the bus;
146
429000
2000
Kasnio je na autobus.
Išli smo na neku utakmicu.
Išli smo na neku utakmicu.
07:23
we were leaving for somewhere to play.
147
431000
2000
07:25
And he wasn't clean and neat, so I wouldn't let him go.
148
433000
4000
Nije bio čist i uredan
i nisam mu dao da pođe s nama.
i nisam mu dao da pođe s nama.
07:29
He couldn't get on the bus. He had to go home and get cleaned up
149
437000
3000
Nije smio ući u autobus.
Morao se vratiti kući i dovesti se u red
07:32
to get to the airport.
150
440000
2000
da bi stigao u zračnu luku.
07:34
So I was a stickler for that. I believed in that.
151
442000
3000
Gnjavio sam oko takvih stvari.
Vjerovao sam u to.
Vjerovao sam u to.
07:37
I believe in time -- very important.
152
445000
2000
Vjerujem u vrijeme. Ono je vrlo važno.
Vjerujem da trebate biti točni.
Primjerice, na treninzima sam uvidio --
Primjerice, na treninzima sam uvidio --
07:39
I believe you should be on time. But I felt at practice, for example,
153
447000
3000
07:42
we start on time, we close on time.
154
450000
2000
počinjemo na vrijeme,
završavamo na vrijeme.
završavamo na vrijeme.
07:44
The youngsters didn't have to feel that we were going to keep them over.
155
452000
4000
Mladi nisu trebali osjetiti da
bismo ih mogli predugo zadržati.
bismo ih mogli predugo zadržati.
07:48
When I speak at coaching clinics, I often tell
156
456000
2000
Na trenerskim seminarima
često govorim mladim trenerima,
često govorim mladim trenerima,
07:50
young coaches -- and at coaching clinics, more or less,
157
458000
3000
a na takvim su seminarima uglavnom
07:53
they'll be the younger coaches getting in the profession.
158
461000
3000
mlađi treneri koji tek ulaze u profesiju.
07:56
Most of them are young, you know, and probably newly married.
159
464000
3000
Većinom su mladi, vjerojatno tek oženjeni.
07:59
And I tell them, "Don't run practices late.
160
467000
3000
Kažem im: "Ne održavajte kasne treninge,
08:02
Because you'll go home in a bad mood.
161
470000
3000
jer ćete kući ići loše raspoloženi,
a za mladog oženjenog muškarca
nije dobro da takav dolazi kući.
nije dobro da takav dolazi kući.
08:05
And that's not good, for a young married man to go home in a bad mood.
162
473000
3000
08:08
When you get older, it doesn't make any difference." But --
163
476000
2000
Kad ostarite, svejedno je..."
08:10
(Laughter)
164
478000
5000
(Smijeh)
08:15
So I did believe on time. I believe starting on time,
165
483000
2000
Vjerovao sam u točnost.
Početi na vrijeme i završiti na vrijeme.
08:17
and I believe closing on time.
166
485000
2000
08:19
And another one I had was, not one word of profanity.
167
487000
3000
Još jedno od mojih pravila
bilo je: Ni "p" od psovke.
bilo je: Ni "p" od psovke.
08:22
One word of profanity, and you are out of here for the day.
168
490000
5000
Jedna psovka i za danas smo gotovi.
08:27
If I see it in a game, you're going to come out and sit on the bench.
169
495000
3000
Dogodi li ti se to na
utakmici, ideš na klupu.
utakmici, ideš na klupu.
08:30
And the third one was, never criticize a teammate.
170
498000
3000
I treće je pravilo bilo:
nikad ne kritiziraj suigrača.
nikad ne kritiziraj suigrača.
08:33
I didn't want that. I used to tell them I was paid to do that.
171
501000
3000
To nisam trpio. Rekao bih
im da sam ja za to plaćen.
im da sam ja za to plaćen.
08:36
That's my job. I'm paid to do it. Pitifully poor, but I am paid to do it.
172
504000
4000
To je posao za koji sam plaćen.
Sirotinjski, ali za to sam plaćen.
Sirotinjski, ali za to sam plaćen.
08:40
Not like the coaches today, for gracious sakes, no.
173
508000
3000
Ne poput današnjih trenera,
za Boga miloga, ne!
za Boga miloga, ne!
08:43
It's a little different than it was in my day.
174
511000
3000
Malo je drugačije nego u moje vrijeme.
08:46
Those were three things that I stuck with pretty closely all the time.
175
514000
4000
Tih sam se triju stvari
poprilično držao sve vrijeme.
poprilično držao sve vrijeme.
08:50
And those actually came from my dad.
176
518000
3000
Njih mi je, zapravo, prenio moj tata.
08:53
That's what he tried to teach me and my brothers at one time.
177
521000
5000
Tome je nastojao poučiti
mene i moju braću.
mene i moju braću.
08:58
I came up with a pyramid eventually,
178
526000
3000
Na koncu, osmislio sam i Piramidu,
09:01
that I don't have the time to go on that.
179
529000
2000
ali nemamo sad za nju vremena.
09:03
But that helped me, I think, become a better teacher.
180
531000
4000
Ali, mislim da mi je to pomoglo
da postanem bolji učitelj.
da postanem bolji učitelj.
09:07
It's something like this:
181
535000
2000
Ovako nekako to ide:
09:09
And I had blocks in the pyramid,
182
537000
2000
Piramida se sastoji od blokova,
09:11
and the cornerstones being industriousness and enthusiasm,
183
539000
4000
radišnost i entuzijazam
kao potporni stupovi,
kao potporni stupovi,
09:15
working hard and enjoying what you're doing,
184
543000
2000
ustrajnost i uživanje u onome što radite
09:17
coming up to the apex
185
545000
2000
i tako postupno do vrha,
09:19
according to my definition of success.
186
547000
3000
u skladu s mojom definicijom uspjeha.
09:22
And right at the top -- faith and patience.
187
550000
2000
A na samom vrhu - vjera i strpljivost.
09:24
And I say to you, in whatever you're doing,
188
552000
2000
Kažem vam, u svemu što radite
09:26
you must be patient. You have to have patience to --
189
554000
3000
morate biti strpljivi.
Moramo biti strpljivi; prečesto
želimo sve odmah i sada.
želimo sve odmah i sada.
09:29
we want things to happen. We talk about our youth being impatient a lot.
190
557000
6000
Govorimo da su naši
mladi nestrpljivi. I jesu.
mladi nestrpljivi. I jesu.
09:35
And they are. They want to change everything.
191
563000
2000
Žele sve promijeniti.
Vjeruju da je to napredak.
Vjeruju da je to napredak.
09:37
They think all change is progress.
192
565000
2000
09:39
And we get a little older -- we sort of let things go.
193
567000
2000
Kako starimo, tako "popuštamo".
09:41
And we forget there is no progress without change.
194
569000
2000
I zaboravljamo da bez
promjene nema napretka.
promjene nema napretka.
09:43
So you must have patience.
195
571000
2000
Morate biti strpljivi,
09:45
And I believe that we must have faith.
196
573000
2000
a vjerujem i da moramo vjerovati.
09:47
I believe that we must believe,
197
575000
2000
Vjerujem da moramo
vjerovati, istinski vjerovati.
vjerovati, istinski vjerovati.
09:49
truly believe. Not just give it word service;
198
577000
3000
Ne samo govoriti o vjeri,
09:52
believe that things will work out as they should,
199
580000
3000
nego vjerovati da će se
stvari odviti onako kako trebaju,
stvari odviti onako kako trebaju,
09:55
providing we do what we should.
200
583000
2000
pod pretpostavkom da
učinimo što trebamo učiniti.
učinimo što trebamo učiniti.
09:57
I think our tendency is to hope that things will turn out the way we want them to
201
585000
4000
Mislim da smo skloni nadati se
da će se stvari odviti onako kako želimo
da će se stvari odviti onako kako želimo
10:01
much of the time. But we don't do the things that are necessary
202
589000
5000
najveći dio vremena,
ali ne činimo ono što je nužno
10:06
to make those things become reality.
203
594000
4000
da bi se obistinilo to što priželjkujemo.
10:10
I worked on this for some 14 years,
204
598000
2000
Radio sam na tome 14 godina
10:12
and I think it helped me become a better teacher.
205
600000
3000
i mislim da mi je pomoglo
da postanem bolji učitelj.
da postanem bolji učitelj.
10:15
But it all revolved around that original definition of success.
206
603000
4000
No, sve se vrtjelo oko
izvorne definicije uspjeha.
izvorne definicije uspjeha.
10:19
You know a number of years ago, there was a Major
207
607000
3000
Prije dosta godina,
George Moriarty bio je sudac
profesionalne bejzbol lige.
profesionalne bejzbol lige.
10:22
League Baseball umpire by the name of George Moriarty.
208
610000
3000
10:25
He spelled Moriarty with only one 'i'.
209
613000
3000
Sricao je"Moriarty" sa samo jednim "i".
10:28
I'd never seen that before, but he did.
210
616000
2000
Nisam to nikad prije vidio.
10:30
Big league baseball players --
211
618000
2000
Igrači prve bejzbolske lige
10:32
they're very perceptive about those things,
212
620000
2000
vrlo su osjetljivi na te stvari
10:34
and they noticed he had only one 'i' in his name.
213
622000
3000
i primijetili su da u svome
imenu ima samo jedno "i".
imenu ima samo jedno "i".
10:37
You'd be surprised how many also told him
214
625000
3000
Iznenadili biste se i koliki su mu rekli
10:40
that that was one more than he had in his head
215
628000
3000
da je to jedno više
no što je u svojoj glavi
no što je u svojoj glavi
10:43
at various times.
216
631000
1000
ponekad imao.
10:44
(Laughter)
217
632000
2000
(Smijeh)
Ali, on je napisao nešto čime je učinio
10:46
But he wrote something that I think he did
218
634000
2000
ono što sam i ja
pokušao s Piramidom.
pokušao s Piramidom.
10:48
while I tried to do in this pyramid. He called it "The Road Ahead,
219
636000
2000
Nazvao je to: "Staza prema
naprijed ili prema unatrag."
naprijed ili prema unatrag."
10:50
or the Road Behind."
220
638000
2000
10:52
"Sometimes I think the Fates must
221
640000
2000
Rekao je: "Mislim da nam se Sudbina
naceri kad je optužimo inzistirajući
naceri kad je optužimo inzistirajući
10:54
grin as we denounce them and insist
222
642000
2000
10:56
the only reason we can't win, is the Fates themselves that miss.
223
644000
4000
da je jedini razlog našem porazu
činjenica da je Sudbina podbacila.
činjenica da je Sudbina podbacila.
11:00
Yet there lives on the ancient claim:
224
648000
2000
No, i dalje živi drevna izreka:
11:02
we win or lose within ourselves. The shining trophies on our shelves
225
650000
3000
pobjeđujemo ili gubimo
unutar nas samih.
unutar nas samih.
Sjajni pokali na našim policama
ne mogu dobiti sutrašnju utakmicu.
ne mogu dobiti sutrašnju utakmicu.
11:05
can never win tomorrow's game.
226
653000
2000
11:07
You and I know deeper down, there's always a chance to win the crown.
227
655000
3000
I vi i ja u dubini duše znamo
da prilika za titulu uvijek postoji.
da prilika za titulu uvijek postoji.
11:10
But when we fail to give our best,
228
658000
2000
Ali kad propustimo dati sve od sebe,
11:12
we simply haven't met the test, of giving all
229
660000
2000
jednostavno nismo položili test
davanja cijelog sebe ne štedivši se,
davanja cijelog sebe ne štedivši se,
11:14
and saving none until the game is really won;
230
662000
2000
sve dok ne dobijemo utakmicu;
11:16
of showing what is meant by grit;
231
664000
2000
pokazivanja što znači borbenost,
11:18
of playing through when others quit;
232
666000
3000
igranja i kad se ostali predaju;
11:21
of playing through, not letting up.
233
669000
2000
igranja do kraja, bez odustajanja.
11:23
It's bearing down that wins the cup. Of dreaming there's a goal ahead;
234
671000
2000
Teškim se radom osvajaju pokali.
Snivanje o cilju pred nama;
nadanje i kad snove prekrije tama;
nadanje i kad snove prekrije tama;
11:25
of hoping when our dreams are dead;
235
673000
2000
11:27
of praying when our hopes have fled.
236
675000
2000
molitve kad nade više nema;
pa i gubljenje, bez straha od pada;
pa i gubljenje, bez straha od pada;
11:29
Yet losing, not afraid to fall,
237
677000
3000
11:32
if bravely we have given all. For who can ask more of a man
238
680000
3000
ako smo hrabro dali sve od sebe.
Jer tko od čovjeka može tražiti više
nego što on od sebe može više dati.
nego što on od sebe može više dati.
11:35
than giving all within his span.
239
683000
2000
11:37
Giving all, it seems to me, is not so far from victory.
240
685000
5000
Dati sve je, čini mi se,
ne toliko daleko od pobjede.
ne toliko daleko od pobjede.
11:42
And so the fates are seldom wrong, no matter how they twist and wind.
241
690000
3000
I tako su sudbine rijetko u krivu,
bez obzira koliko prevrtljive bile.
bez obzira koliko prevrtljive bile.
11:45
It's you and I who make our fates --
242
693000
3000
Vi i ja smo ti koji
kreiramo svoje sudbine...
kreiramo svoje sudbine...
11:48
we open up or close the gates on the road ahead or the road behind."
243
696000
4000
otvaramo ili zatvaramo vrata
na putu prema naprijed ili unatrag.
na putu prema naprijed ili unatrag.
11:52
Reminds me of another set of threes that my dad tried to get across to us.
244
700000
3000
Podsjeća me to na još jedan trolist
mudrosti kojima nas je otac podučavao:
mudrosti kojima nas je otac podučavao:
11:55
Don't whine. Don't complain. Don't make excuses.
245
703000
3000
Ne cvilite. Ne prigovarajte.
Ne nalazite izlike.
Ne nalazite izlike.
11:58
Just get out there, and whatever you're doing,
246
706000
2000
Jednostavno izađite
i što god radili, činite
to najbolje što znate.
to najbolje što znate.
12:00
do it to the best of your ability.
247
708000
2000
12:02
And no one can do more than that.
248
710000
3000
Nitko ne može učiniti više od toga.
12:05
I tried to get across, too, that --
249
713000
3000
Nastojao sam i da ...
moji će vam suparnici potvrditi -
nikad ne spominjem pobjedu.
nikad ne spominjem pobjedu.
12:08
my opponents don't tell you -- you never heard me mention winning.
250
716000
3000
12:11
Never mention winning. My idea is
251
719000
2000
Nikad ne spominji pobjeđivanje.
Mislim da možete izgubiti kad
postignete više zgoditaka od suparnika,
postignete više zgoditaka od suparnika,
12:13
that you can lose when you outscore somebody in a game.
252
721000
5000
12:18
And you can win when you're outscored.
253
726000
2000
a možete pobijediti
i kad on postigne više.
i kad on postigne više.
12:20
I've felt that way on certain occasions,
254
728000
2000
Osjećao sam se tako u nekim situacijama.
12:22
at various times.
255
730000
2000
12:24
And I just wanted them to be able to
256
732000
3000
Jedino sam želio da mogu
uzdignute glave otići s utakmice.
uzdignute glave otići s utakmice.
12:27
hold their head up after a game.
257
735000
2000
12:29
I used to say that when a game is over,
258
737000
3000
Obično bih im rekao:
"Kad utakmica završi
"Kad utakmica završi
12:32
and you see somebody that didn't know the outcome,
259
740000
2000
i sretnete nekoga tko ne zna
kako je utakmica završila,
kako je utakmica završila,
12:34
I hope they couldn't tell by your actions
260
742000
3000
nadam se da neće na vama vidjeti
12:37
whether you outscored an opponent or the opponent outscored you.
261
745000
6000
jeste li utakmicu dobili ili izgubili."
12:43
That's what really matters: if you make effort
262
751000
2000
To je uistinu bitno:
Ako redovito nastojite biti
najbolji što možete,
najbolji što možete,
12:45
to do the best you can regularly,
263
753000
3000
12:48
the results will be about what they should be.
264
756000
3000
rezultati će biti otprilike
kakvi bi i trebali biti.
kakvi bi i trebali biti.
12:51
Not necessary to what you would want them to be,
265
759000
2000
Ne nužno onakvi kakve biste željeli,
već onakvi kakvi trebaju biti;
već onakvi kakvi trebaju biti;
12:53
but they will be about what they should,
266
761000
2000
samo ćete vi znati možete li to učiniti.
12:55
and only you will know whether you can do that.
267
763000
2000
12:57
And that's what I wanted from them more than anything else.
268
765000
3000
To je ono što sam od njih
želio, više od svega.
želio, više od svega.
13:00
And as time went by, and I learned more about other things,
269
768000
3000
S vremenom, kako sam i ja
učio o drugim stvarima,
učio o drugim stvarima,
13:03
I think it worked a little better,
270
771000
3000
mislim da je to i bolje funkcioniralo,
barem što se rezultata tiče.
13:06
as far as the results. But I wanted the score of a game to be
271
774000
3000
Želio sam da ishod utakmice
bude nusprodukt tih drugih stvari,
bude nusprodukt tih drugih stvari,
13:09
the byproduct of these other things,
272
777000
3000
13:12
and not the end itself.
273
780000
2000
a ne cilj sam po sebi.
13:14
I believe it was --
274
782000
4000
Mislim da je jedan veliki filozof rekao...
13:18
one great philosopher said -- no, no,
275
786000
3000
Ne, ne... Cervantes.
13:21
Cervantes. Cervantes said,
276
789000
2000
Cervantes je rekao:
"Bolje je putovati nego stići."
"Bolje je putovati nego stići."
13:23
"The journey is better than the end."
277
791000
5000
I to mi se sviđa.
13:28
And I like that. I think that is --
278
796000
2000
U tome je stvar.
U putovanju je smisao.
U putovanju je smisao.
13:30
it's getting there. Sometimes when you get there, there's almost a letdown.
279
798000
4000
Ponekad se i razočarate
kada stignete nekamo.
kada stignete nekamo.
13:34
But there's getting there that's the fun.
280
802000
2000
Ali, samo putovanje je zabavno.
13:36
I liked our -- as a basketball coach at UCLA I liked our practices to be the journey,
281
804000
5000
Kao košarkaškom treneru na UCLA-u,
želio sam da naši treninzi budu putovanja,
želio sam da naši treninzi budu putovanja,
dok bi utakmica bila cilj,
krajnje odredište.
krajnje odredište.
13:41
and the game would be the end. The end result.
282
809000
3000
13:44
I'd like to go up and sit in the stands and watch the players play,
283
812000
3000
Volio sam se popeti na tribinu,
promatrati igrače dok igraju
promatrati igrače dok igraju
13:47
and see whether I'd done a decent job
284
815000
3000
i vidjeti jesam li što dobro
napravio tijekom tjedna.
napravio tijekom tjedna.
13:50
during the week.
285
818000
2000
13:52
There again, it's getting the players to get that self-satisfaction,
286
820000
3000
Prema tome, opet se tu radi o tome
da igrači budu zadovoljni sobom,
da igrači budu zadovoljni sobom,
13:55
in knowing that they'd made the effort to do
287
823000
3000
znajući da su pokušali biti
najbolji što uopće mogu biti.
najbolji što uopće mogu biti.
13:58
the best of which they are capable.
288
826000
6000
14:04
Sometimes I'm asked who was
289
832000
3000
Katkad me pitaju tko je bio moj
najbolji igrač, ili najbolja momčad.
najbolji igrač, ili najbolja momčad.
14:07
the best player I had, or the best teams.
290
835000
2000
14:09
I can never answer that,
291
837000
3000
Ne mogu na to odgovoriti.
14:12
as far as the individuals are concerned.
292
840000
3000
Što se pojedinaca tiče...
14:15
I was asked one time about that,
293
843000
3000
Jednom su me pitali u vezi s time...
14:18
and they said, "Suppose that you in some way could
294
846000
5000
Rekli su mi:
"Pretpostavite li da možete
stvoriti savršenog igrača,
stvoriti savršenog igrača,
14:23
make the perfect player. What would you want?"
295
851000
2000
što biste željeli?"
14:25
And I said, "Well, I'd want one that knew why he was at UCLA:
296
853000
3000
Rekao sam im: "Želio bih jednoga
koji zna zašto je na UCLA-u:
koji zna zašto je na UCLA-u:
14:28
to get an education, he was a good student,
297
856000
3000
da se obrazuje,
da bude dobar student,
da bude dobar student,
14:31
really knew why he was there in the first place.
298
859000
2000
da doista zna zašto je ondje, prije svega.
14:33
But I'd want one that could play, too.
299
861000
2000
Ali, želio bih i da zna igrati.
14:35
I'd want one to realize that
300
863000
3000
Želio bih jednoga koji je svjestan
da se obranom osvajaju prvenstva;
da se obranom osvajaju prvenstva;
14:38
defense usually wins championships, and would work hard on defense.
301
866000
3000
koji bi uporno radio na svojoj obrani.
14:41
But I'd want one that would play offense too.
302
869000
3000
Ali, želio bih i da zna napadati.
14:44
I'd want him to be unselfish,
303
872000
2000
Želio bih da bude nesebičan
14:46
and look for the pass first and not shoot all the time.
304
874000
3000
i najprije nastoji dodati,
a ne pucati kad god može.
a ne pucati kad god može.
14:49
And I'd want one that could pass and would pass.
305
877000
3000
Želio bih i da može i da zna dodati loptu.
14:52
(Laughter)
306
880000
1000
(Smijeh)
14:53
I've had some that could and wouldn't,
307
881000
2000
Neki su mogli, ali nisu htjeli,
14:55
and I've had some that would and couldn't.
308
883000
2000
a neki su i htjeli i mogli.
14:57
(Laughter)
309
885000
4000
(Smijeh)
Dakle, takvoga bih želio.
15:01
I wanted them to be able to shoot from the outside.
310
889000
3000
Želio bih i da ima dobar šut izvana.
15:04
I wanted them to be good inside too.
311
892000
2000
Kao i da je dobar u unutrašnjoj igri.
15:06
(Laughter)
312
894000
3000
(Smijeh)
15:09
I'd want them to be able to rebound well at both ends, too.
313
897000
4000
Želio bih da je dobar i u napadačkom
i u obrambenom skoku.
i u obrambenom skoku.
15:13
And why not just take someone like Keith Wilkes and let it go at that.
314
901000
4000
Recimo, netko poput Keitha Wilkesa.
15:17
He had the qualifications. Not the only one,
315
905000
2000
On je zadovoljavao ove uvjete.
Nije bio jedini, ali bio je onaj
kojega bih isticao u ovoj kategoriji,
kojega bih isticao u ovoj kategoriji,
15:19
but he was one that I used in that
316
907000
3000
15:22
particular category, because I think he
317
910000
3000
jer vjerujem da se istinski
trudio postati najbolji.
trudio postati najbolji.
15:25
made the effort to become the best [unclear].
318
913000
3000
Bilo ih je nekoliko.
U knjizi "Zovu me trenerom" spominjem
15:28
I mention in my book, "They Call Me Coach."
319
916000
3000
dvojicu igrača koji su mi
pružili silno zadovoljstvo,
pružili silno zadovoljstvo,
15:31
Two players that gave me great satisfaction;
320
919000
2000
15:33
that came as close as I think anyone I ever had to reach their full potential:
321
921000
3000
koji su se najviše od svih približili
ostvarenju svojih punih potencijala:
ostvarenju svojih punih potencijala:
15:36
one was Conrad Burke. And one was Doug McIntosh.
322
924000
3000
Conrad Burke i Doug McIntosh.
15:39
When I saw them as freshmen,
323
927000
2000
Kad sam ih vidio kao brucoše,
u našoj brucoškoj momčadi -
u našoj brucoškoj momčadi -
15:41
on our freshmen team --
324
929000
2000
brucoši nisu u to doba mogli
igrati u prvoj momčadi -
igrati u prvoj momčadi -
15:43
we didn't have -- freshmen couldn't play varsity when I taught.
325
931000
3000
pomislio sam: "O Bože,
budu li ova dvojica..." -
budu li ova dvojica..." -
15:46
And I thought, "Oh gracious, if these two players, either one of them" --
326
934000
3000
15:49
they were different years, but I thought about each one at the time he was there --
327
937000
3000
bili su na različitim godinama,
ali za obojicu sam to mislio -
ali za obojicu sam to mislio -
15:52
"Oh, if he ever makes the varsity,
328
940000
3000
"... ako ovaj ikad dospije
do prve momčadi,
do prve momčadi,
15:55
our varsity must be pretty miserable, if he's good enough to make it."
329
943000
3000
naša je prva momčad prilično
jadna ako ovaj uspije ući."
jadna ako ovaj uspije ući."
15:58
And you know one of them
330
946000
3000
A znate, jedan od njih bio je
u prvoj postavi tijekom sezone i pol.
u prvoj postavi tijekom sezone i pol.
16:01
was a starting player for a season and a half.
331
949000
3000
16:04
The other was -- his next year, he played
332
952000
3000
Sljedeće godine, drugi je igrao
32 minute u prvenstvenoj utakmici.
32 minute u prvenstvenoj utakmici.
16:07
32 minutes in a national championship game,
333
955000
3000
16:10
did a tremendous job for us. And the next year, he was a starting player
334
958000
4000
Silno nam je pomogao.
Godinu kasnije, bio je u prvoj
postavi nacionalnog prvenstva.
postavi nacionalnog prvenstva.
16:14
on the national championship team.
335
962000
2000
A ja sam ovdje mislio da neće
igrati ni minute dok je još bio...
igrati ni minute dok je još bio...
16:16
And here I thought he'd never play a minute, when he was --
336
964000
2000
16:18
so those are the things that give you great joy,
337
966000
4000
To su stvari koje vas raduju
16:22
and great satisfaction to see one.
338
970000
3000
i pružaju veliko zadovoljstvo.
16:25
Neither one of those youngsters could shoot very well.
339
973000
3000
Nijedan od tih mladića
nije imao naročit šut.
nije imao naročit šut.
16:28
But they had outstanding shooting percentages,
340
976000
2000
Ali imali su izniman prosjek šuteva,
16:30
because they didn't force it.
341
978000
2000
jer nisu forsirali.
16:32
And neither one could jump very well,
342
980000
3000
Niti jedan nije bio osobit skakač,
16:35
but they got -- kept good position,
343
983000
2000
ali držali su dobru poziciju
i zato su imali puno skokova.
i zato su imali puno skokova.
16:37
and so they did well rebounding. They remembered that
344
985000
3000
Nisu zaboravljali pretpostaviti
da bi svaki šut mogao biti promašaj.
da bi svaki šut mogao biti promašaj.
16:40
every shot that is taken, they assumed would be missed.
345
988000
2000
16:42
I've had too many that stand around and wait to see if it's missed,
346
990000
2000
Mnogi su stajali i čekali da
vide hoće li biti promašaj,
vide hoće li biti promašaj,
16:44
then they go and it's too late.
347
992000
2000
a kad bi skočili bilo bi prekasno,
jer bi ih netko već preduhitrio.
jer bi ih netko već preduhitrio.
16:46
Somebody else is in there ahead of them.
348
994000
4000
Nisu bili osobito brzi,
ali su se dobro postavljali,
ali su se dobro postavljali,
16:50
And they weren't very quick, but they played good position,
349
998000
2000
16:52
kept in good balance.
350
1000000
2000
uvijek u ravnoteži.
16:54
And so they played pretty good defense for us.
351
1002000
2000
I tako su za nas odigrali
prilično dobru obranu.
prilično dobru obranu.
16:56
So they had qualities that -- they came close to --
352
1004000
3000
Dakle, imali su kvalitete potrebne
16:59
as close to reaching possibly their full potential
353
1007000
4000
da dosegnu vjerojatno
svoj puni potencijal,
svoj puni potencijal,
17:03
as any players I ever had.
354
1011000
2000
od svih igrača koje sam imao.
17:05
So I consider them to be as successful as
355
1013000
2000
Stoga ih smatram uspješnima
poput Lewisa Alcindora ili Billa Waltona
poput Lewisa Alcindora ili Billa Waltona
17:07
Lewis Alcindor or Bill Walton,
356
1015000
5000
i mnogih drugih koje smo imali;
17:12
or many of the others that we had, There was some outstanding -- some outstanding players.
357
1020000
6000
a bilo je iznimnih igrača.
17:18
Have I rambled enough?
358
1026000
3000
Jesam li dovoljno brbljao?
Rekli su mi da prestanem kad se on pojavi.
17:21
I was told that when he makes his appearance, I was supposed to shut up.
359
1029000
4000
(Smijeh)
17:25
(Laughter)
360
1033000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
John Wooden - CoachJohn Wooden, affectionately known as Coach, led UCLA to record wins that are still unmatched in the world of basketball. Throughout his long life, he shared the values and life lessons he passed to his players, emphasizing success that’s about much more than winning.
Why you should listen
Born in 1910, Coach John Wooden was the first person to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame both as a player and coach, while ESPN ranks him as the greatest coach of all time, across all sports. In his 40 years at UCLA, he mentored legends such as Bill Walton and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He has created a model, the Pyramid of Success, and authored several books to impart his insight on achievement to others.
Coach wanted his players to be victors in life and not just on the court, so he treated them as an extended family and emphasized that winning was more than scoring. Indeed, most of his inspiring theories were born from conversations with his father, as a boy on their farm in Indiana. One that sums up his ideology quite well is his often-quoted definition of success: "Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best that you are capable of becoming."
