Šodien gribu ar jums apspriest to,
00:08
why you're going to fail to have a great career. (Laughter)
1
6003
4008
kāpēc jums neizdosies lieliska karjera.
(Smiekli)
00:12
I'm an economist. I do dismal.
2
10011
4078
Esmu ekonomists.
Es daru nomācošas lietas.
00:16
End of the day, it's ready for dismal remarks.

Un dienas beigās
ir pienācis laiks nomācošām piezīmēm.
ir pienācis laiks nomācošām piezīmēm.
00:21
I only want to talk to those of you who want a great career.

Gribu runāt tikai ar tiem,
kas grib lielisku karjeru.
kas grib lielisku karjeru.
00:25
I know some of you have already decided
5
23022
1076
Zinu, ka daži no jums
jau nolēmuši, ka grib labu karjeru.
jau nolēmuši, ka grib labu karjeru.
00:26
you want a good career.
6
24098
2913
Arī jums tas neizdosies.
00:29
You're going to fail, too — (Laughter) —
7
27011
2038
(Smiekli)
00:31
because — Goodness, you're all cheery about failing. (Laughter)
8
29049
3008
Jo... kā gan jūs tā priecājaties
par neveiksmi?
par neveiksmi?
00:34
Canadian group, undoubtedly. (Laughter)

(Smiekli)
Kanādiešu grupa, bez šaubām.
(Smiekli)
00:40
Those trying to have good careers are going to fail,
10
38020
2046
Labas karjeras meklētājiem
nekas neizdosies,
nekas neizdosies,
00:42
because, really, good jobs are now disappearing.
11
40066
3976
jo pašlaik labas darbavietas zūd.
00:46
There are great jobs and great careers,
12
44042
3025
Ir lieliskas darbavietas
un lieliskas karjeras,
un lieliskas karjeras,
00:49
and then there are the high-workload, high-stress,
13
47067
3971
un ir vietas ar augstu darba slodzi,
augstu stresa līmeni,
augstu stresa līmeni,
00:53
bloodsucking, soul-destroying kinds of jobs,
14
51038
3045
asins izsūcošas,
dvēseli iznīcinošās darbavietas,
dvēseli iznīcinošās darbavietas,
00:56
and practically nothing in between.
15
54083
1934
un pa vidu tikpat kā nekā.
00:58
So the people looking for good jobs are going to fail.
16
56017
2035
Tāpēc labu darbavietu meklētājiem
nekas neizdosies.
nekas neizdosies.
01:00
I'm going to talk about those looking for great jobs, great
17
58052
2996
Gribu parunāt par lielisko
darbavietu un karjeru meklētājiem
darbavietu un karjeru meklētājiem
01:03
careers, and why you're going to, why you're going to fail.
18
61048
4002
un kāpēc jums neizdosies.
01:07
First reason is that no matter how many times people tell you,
19
65050
6025
Pirmkārt, par spīti tam,
cik daudz jums atgādinās:
cik daudz jums atgādinās:
01:13
"If you want a great career, you have to pursue your passion,
20
71075
3953
„Ja vēlaties lielisku karjeru,
jums jāseko savai sirdsbalsij,
jums jāseko savai sirdsbalsij,
01:17
you have to pursue your dreams, you have to pursue,
21
75028
3003
jāseko saviem sapņiem,
jāseko savas dzīves
lielākajam aicinājumam.”
lielākajam aicinājumam.”
01:20
the greatest fascination in your life,"
22
78031
3016
01:23
you hear it again and again and then you decide
23
81047
2032
Jūs dzirdat to atkal un atkal,
un tad nolemjat neko nedarīt.
un tad nolemjat neko nedarīt.
01:25
not to do it. It doesn't matter how many times you download
24
83079
4008
Nav svarīgi, cik reizes lejuplādēsiet
01:29
Steven J.'s Stanford commencement address,
25
87087
4926
Stīvena Džobsa
Stenfordas izlaiduma uzrunu,
Stenfordas izlaiduma uzrunu,
01:34
you still look at it and decide not to do it.
26
92013
3030
joprojām skatīsities to
un nolemsiet neko nedarīt.
un nolemsiet neko nedarīt.
01:37
I'm not quite sure why you decide not to do it.
27
95043
2039
Neesmu īsti pārliecināts, kāpēc tā darāt.
01:39
You're too lazy to do it. It's too hard.
28
97082
2000
Esat pārāk slinki, tas ir pārāk grūti.
01:41
You're afraid if you look for your passion and don't find it,
29
99082
2949
Baidāties, ka, neatrodot aicinājumu,
01:44
you'll feel like you're an idiot, so then you make excuses
30
102031
3010
jutīsieties kā idiots,
tādēļ meklējat attaisnojumus,
tādēļ meklējat attaisnojumus,
01:47
about why you're not going to look for your passion.
31
105041
2994
kāpēc pat negatavojaties
sasniegt savu sapni.
sasniegt savu sapni.
01:50
And they are excuses, ladies and gentlemen.
32
108035
1062
Tie ir tikai attaisnojumi, dāmas un kungi!
01:51
We're going to go through a whole long list, your creativity,
33
109097
2978
Apskatīsim visu garo ataisnojumu sarakstu,
01:54
and thinking of excuses not to do what you really
34
112075
2992
cik radoši gudrojat attaisnojumus,
lai nedarītu to, kas jādara
lai nedarītu to, kas jādara
01:57
need to do if you want to have a great career.
35
115067
2997
lieliskas karjeras iegūšanai
02:00
So, for example, one of your great excuses is,
36
118064
6005
Tā, piemēram, viens no jūsu
lielajiem attaisnojumiem ir:
lielajiem attaisnojumiem ir:
02:06
"Well, great careers are really and truly, for most people,
37
124069
5001
(Nopūšas)
„Patiesībā, lielākai daļai cilvēku
lieliska karjera
lieliska karjera
02:11
just a matter of luck, so I'm going to stand around,
38
129070
3948
ir tikai veiksmes jautājums.
Tāpēc pastaigāšu un paskatīšos,
pacentīšos noķert laimi,
pacentīšos noķert laimi,
02:15
I'm going to try to be lucky, and if I'm lucky,
39
133018
2068
un, ja uzsmaidīs veiksme,
man būs lieliska karjera.
man būs lieliska karjera.
02:17
I'll have a great career. If not, I'll have a good career."
40
135086
2998
Ja nē, būs man laba karjera.”
02:20
But a good career is an impossibility, so that's not going to work.
41
138084
3948
Bet laba karjera ir neiespējama,
tāpēc tas neizdosies.
tāpēc tas neizdosies.
02:24
Then, your other excuse is, "Yes, there are special people
42
142032
3987
Otrs attaisnojums:
„Jā, ir īpaši cilvēki
kas tiecas īstenot savus sapņus,
kas tiecas īstenot savus sapņus,
02:28
who pursue their passions, but they are geniuses.
43
146019
3997
bet tie ir ģēniji.
02:32
They are Steven J. I'm not a genius.
44
150016
3027
Tie ir Stīveni Džobsi.
Es neesmu ģēnijs.
02:35
When I was five, I thought I was a genius,
45
153043
2959
Piecu gadu vecumā domāju, ka esmu ģēnijs,
02:38
but my professors have beaten that idea
46
156002
2002
bet profesori šo domu
jau sen ir izdzinuši no manas galva.”
jau sen ir izdzinuši no manas galva.”
02:40
out of my head long since." (Laughter) Mm?
47
158004
3018
(Smiekli)
02:43
"And now I know I am completely competent."
48
161022
4058
„Un tagad zinu,
ka esmu pilnībā kompetents.”
ka esmu pilnībā kompetents.”
02:47
Now, you see, if this was 1950,
49
165080
2972
Redziet, ja tagad būtu 1950. gads,
02:50
being completely competent,
50
168052
2967
un jūs būtu pilnībā kompetenti,
02:53
that would have given you a great career.
51
171019
2023
jums būtu lieliska karjera.
02:55
But guess what? This is almost 2012, and saying
52
173042
4005
Bet ziniet ko?
Tagad ir gandrīz 2012. gads,
un teikt pasaulei,
un teikt pasaulei,
02:59
to the world, "I am totally, completely competent,"
53
177047
4013
ka esat pavisam, pilnībā kompetents,
03:03
is damning yourself with the faintest of praise.
54
181060
4025
ir ar necilu uzslavu sev uzlikts lāsts.
03:07
And then, of course, another excuse:
55
185085
2933
Vēl viens attaisnojums:
03:10
"Well, I would do this, I would do this, but, but,
56
188018
3037
„Es varētu to paveikt, bet..
03:13
well, after all, I'm not weird.
57
191055
4042
galu galā neesmu dīvains.
03:17
Everybody knows that people who pursue their passions
58
195097
2954
Visi zina, ka tie,
kas tiecas īstenot savus sapņus,
kas tiecas īstenot savus sapņus,
03:20
are somewhat obsessive. A little strange? Mm? Mm? Okay?
59
198051
4977
ir nedaudz apsēsti.
Nedaudz dīvaini.
Hmm? Hmm? Ja?
03:25
You know, a fine line between madness and genius.
60
203028
3021
Starp vājprātu un ģenialitāti
ir smalka robeža.
ir smalka robeža.
03:28
I'm not weird. I've read Steven J.'s biography.
61
206049
4046
Es neesmu dīvains.
Esmu lasījis Stīvena Džobsa biogrāfiju.
Esmu lasījis Stīvena Džobsa biogrāfiju.
03:32
Oh my goodness. I am not that person. I am nice.
62
210095
3952
Ak Dievs. Es neesmu tāds. Esmu laipns.
03:36
I am normal. I'm a nice, normal person,
63
214047
3004
Esmu normāls.
Esmu laipns, normāls cilvēks.
Un laipniem, normāliem cilvēkiem..
Un laipniem, normāliem cilvēkiem..
03:39
and nice, normal people
64
217051
2013
03:41
don't have passion.
65
219064
3968
nav traku sapņu.”
(Smiekli)
03:45
Ah. But I still want a great career.
66
223032
2981
„Ā, bet es tomēr gribu lielisku karjeru.
03:48
I'm not prepared to pursue my passion, so I know
67
226013
2024
Es nedzīšos pēc sava sapņa,
03:50
what I'm going to do, because I have, I have a solution,
68
228037
2972
tāpēc zinu, kas man jādara.
Man ir risinājums.
03:53
I have a strategy.
69
231009
1999
Man ir stratēģija.
03:55
It's the one Mommy and Daddy told me about.
70
233008
2018
Par to man stāstīja mamma un tētis.
03:57
Mommy and Daddy told me that if I worked hard,
71
235026
3027
Mamma un tētis teica,
ka, ja smagi strādāšu,
ka, ja smagi strādāšu,
04:00
I'd have a good career. So, if you work hard
72
238053
3957
man būs laba karjera.
Tātad, ja smagi strādājot ir laba karjera,
04:04
and have a good career, if you work really, really, really hard,
73
242010
3018
ja ļoti, ļoti, ļoti smagi strādāšu,
04:07
you'll have a great career. Doesn't that, like,
74
245028
2020
man būs lieliska karjera.
04:09
mathematically make sense?"
75
247048
1962
Matemātiski tā taču sanāk, vai ne?”
04:11
Hmm. Not. (Laughter)
76
249010
1050
Hmm. Nē.
04:12
But you've managed to talk yourself into that.
77
250060
2980
Bet jums izdodas pārliecināt sevi.
04:15
You know what? Here's a little secret.
78
253040
2001
Atklāšu mazu noslēpumu.
04:17
You want to work? You want to work really, really, really hard?
79
255041
3014
Vēlaties strādāt?
Vēlaties ļoti, ļoti, ļoti smagi strādāt?
Vēlaties ļoti, ļoti, ļoti smagi strādāt?
04:20
You know what? You'll succeed. The world will give you
80
258055
2014
Jums tas izdosies.
04:22
the opportunity to work really, really, really, really hard,
81
260069
4990
Pasaule dos jums iespēju
ļoti, ļoti, ļoti, ļoti smagi strādāt.
04:27
but are you so sure that that's going to give you
82
265059
4973
Bet, vai esat tik pārliecināti,
ka tā iegūsiet lielisku karjeru,
04:32
a great career when all the evidence is to the contrary?
83
270032
4033
ja visi pierādījumi liecina par pretējo.
04:36
So let's assume, let's deal with those of you
84
274065
3935
Apskatīsim tos, kas cenšas
atrast savu aicinājumu.
atrast savu aicinājumu.
04:40
who are trying to find your passion.
85
278000
2017
Jūs paši saprotat,
ka jums tas noteikti jāpaveic,
ka jums tas noteikti jāpaveic,
04:42
You actually understand that you really had better do it,
86
280017
2024
04:44
never mind the excuses. You're trying to find your passion,
87
282041
3996
neskatoties uz attaisnojumiem,
jūs cenšaties atrast savu aicinājumu...
(Nopūšas)
04:49
and you're so happy.
88
287078
2009
un esat ļoti apmierināti.
04:51
You found something you're interested in.
89
289087
2934
Jūs esat atraduši kaut ko,
kas jūs interesē.
kas jūs interesē.
04:54
I have an interest! I have an interest! You tell me.
90
292021
2994
„Atradu! Atradu!”
jūs man sakāt.
04:57
You say, "I have an interest!" I say, "That's wonderful!
91
295015
2033
„Man ir tas, kas mani interesē!”
Es saku: „Tas ir brīnišķīgi!
Es saku: „Tas ir brīnišķīgi!
04:59
And what, what are you trying to tell me? That you — "
92
297048
3014
Un ko jūs man gribat pateikt?”
05:02
"Well, I have an interest."
93
300062
1955
„Nu, man ir interesanti.”
05:04
I say, "Do you have passion?"
94
302017
1045
Es saku: „Vai jums ir sapnis?”
05:05
"I have an interest," you say.
95
303062
2947
„Man ir tas, kas mani interesē.”
05:08
Your interest is compared to what?
96
306009
1081
„Ar ko jūs to salīdzināt?”
05:09
"Well, I'm interested in this."
97
307090
2945
„Mani šī lieta interesē.”
05:12
And what about the rest of humanity's activities?
98
310035
3063
„Un kā ar pārējām dzīves jomām?”
05:15
"I'm not interested in them."
99
313098
2000
„Tās mani neinteresē.”
05:17
You've looked at them all, have you?
100
315098
1999
„Esi taču tās visas apskatījis, vai ne?”
05:19
"No. Not exactly."
101
317097
2977
„Nē, ne gluži.”
05:22
Passion is your greatest love.
102
320074
2961
Aicinājums ir jūsu lielākā mīlestība.
05:25
Passion is the thing that will help you create
103
323035
4995
Aicinājums ir tas,
kas liks jums sasniegt
sava talanta augstāko izpausmi.
sava talanta augstāko izpausmi.
05:30
the highest expression of your talent.
104
328030
2039
05:32
Passion, interest -- it's not the same thing.
105
330069
2946
Aicinājums un interese
nav viens un tas pats.
nav viens un tas pats.
05:35
Are you really going to go to your sweetie and say,
106
333015
2047
Vai tiešām savai mīļotajai teiksiet:
05:37
"Marry me! You're interesting." (Laughter)
107
335062
6939
„Precēsimies! Tu mani interesē.”
(Smiekli)
Tā nenotiks.
05:44
Won't happen. Won't happen, and you will die alone. (Laughter)
108
342001
5031
Tā nenotiks, un jūs nomirsiet vientulībā.
(Smiekli)
05:49
What you want, what you want, what you want,
109
347032
3045
Jums vajadzīga
05:52
is passion. It is beyond interest.
110
350077
3958
kaislība.
Tā stāv pāri interesēm.
05:56
You need 20 interests, and then one of them,
111
354035
3059
No 20 interesēm viena
05:59
one of them might grab you, one of them might engage you
112
357094
3001
varētu jūs aizraut,
uzrunāt vairāk, nekā jebkas cits.
06:02
more than anything else, and then you may have found
113
360095
2951
Un tad jūs varētu būt atraduši
savu lielāko mīlestību,
savu lielāko mīlestību,
06:05
your greatest love in comparison to all the other things
114
363046
4009
salīdzinājumā ar visu citu,
kas jūs interesē.
kas jūs interesē.
06:09
that interest you, and that's what passion is.
115
367055
3041
Tā ir kaislība.
06:12
I have a friend, proposed to his sweetie.
116
370096
3904
Man ir draugs,
kurš bildināja savu mīļoto.
kurš bildināja savu mīļoto.
06:16
He was an economically rational person.
117
374000
2098
Viņš bija ekonomiski racionāls cilvēks.
06:18
He said to his sweetie, "Let us marry.
118
376098
3961
Viņš savai mīļotai teica:
„Precēsimies.
„Precēsimies.
06:22
Let us merge our interests."
119
380059
3000
Apvienosim savas intereses.”
06:25
(Laughter)
120
383059
1994
(Smiekli)
06:27
Yes he did.
121
385053
1992
Tā viņš teica.
06:29
"I love you truly," he said. "I love you deeply. I love you
122
387045
4034
„Es tevi patiešām mīlu.
Es tevi ārkārtīgi mīlu.
Es tevi ārkārtīgi mīlu.
Vairāk nekā jebkuru citu sievieti,
ko jebkad esmu saticis.
ko jebkad esmu saticis.
06:33
more than any other woman I've ever encountered.
123
391079
3952
06:37
I love you more than Mary, Jane, Susie, Penelope,
124
395031
4051
Mīlu tevi vairāk nekā Mariju,
Džeinu, Sūziju, Penelopi,
Džeinu, Sūziju, Penelopi,

Ingrid, Gertrude, Gretel --

Ingridu, Ģertrūdi, Grēteli.
06:43
I was on a German exchange program then." (Laughter)
126
401085
2940
Tolaik es biju apmaiņas programmā Vācijā.
06:46
"I love you more than — "
127
404025
2975
Mīlu tevi vairāk nekā…”
06:49
All right! She left the room halfway through his enumeration
128
407000
6036
Viss.
Viņa aizgāja prom,
viņa mīlestības izpausmju
uzskaites pusceļā.
uzskaites pusceļā.
06:55
of his love for her.
129
413036
2004
06:57
After he got over his surprise at being, you know,
130
415040
2979
Kad pārgāja viņa izbrīns
no saņemtā atteikuma,
no saņemtā atteikuma,
07:00
turned down, he concluded he'd had a narrow escape
131
418019
5056
viņš secināja,
ka par mata tiesu izvairījies
ka par mata tiesu izvairījies
07:05
from marrying an irrational person,
132
423075
3985
no laulības ar neracionālu cilvēku.
07:09
although he did make a note to himself that the next time
133
427060
2025
Tomēr viņš izdarīja sev piezīmi,
ka nākamreiz bildinot,
ka nākamreiz bildinot,
07:11
he proposed, it was perhaps not necessary to enumerate
134
429085
4010
varētu nebūt obligāti
uzskaitīt visas sievietes,
ko viņš bija apsvēris šai lomai.
ko viņš bija apsvēris šai lomai.
07:15
all of the women he had auditioned for the part. (Laughter)
135
433095
5998
(Smiekli)
07:21
But the point stands. You must look for alternatives
136
439093
3926
Šim stāstam ir šāda morāle:
jums jāmeklē alternatīvas,
lai veidotu savu likteni.
lai veidotu savu likteni.
07:25
so that you find your destiny,
137
443019
1075
07:26
or are you afraid of the word "destiny"?
138
444094
2989
Vai jums bail no vārda „liktenis”?
07:29
Does the word "destiny" scare you?
139
447083
2981
Vai vārds „liktenis” jūs biedē?
07:32
That's what we're talking about, and if you don't find
140
450064
2019
Par to mēs arī runājam.
07:34
the highest expression of your talent, if you settle
141
452083
2976
Ja neatradīsiet
sava talanta augstāko izpausmi,
sava talanta augstāko izpausmi,
07:37
for "interesting," what the hell ever that means,
142
455059
2959
ja apstāsities uz „intereses”,
lai ko tas arī nenozīmētu,
lai ko tas arī nenozīmētu,
07:40
do you know what will happen at the end of your long life?
143
458018
3027
ziniet, kas notiks
jūsu garās dzīves beigās?
jūsu garās dzīves beigās?
07:43
Your friends and family will be gathered in the cemetery,
144
461045
3015
Jūsu draugi un ģimene
sapulcēsies pie jūsu kapa.
sapulcēsies pie jūsu kapa.
07:46
and there, beside your gravesite will be a tombstone,
145
464060
3028
Uz kapa būs kapakmens
07:49
and inscribed on that tombstone, it will say,
146
467088
2987
ar uzrakstu:
„Šeit atdusas izcils inženieris,
07:52
"Here lies a distinguished engineer who invented Velcro."
147
470075
7018
kurš izgudroja līpslēdzēju.”
07:59
But what that tombstone should have said,
148
477093
4953
Bet, kam uz šī kapakmens būtu jābūt
08:04
in an alternative lifetime,
149
482046
2983
jūsu alternatīvajā dzīvē,
08:07
what it should have said if it was your highest expression of
150
485029
3067
aprakstot jūsu talanta augstāko izpausmi?
08:10
talent, was, "Here lies the last Nobel Laureate in Physics,
151
488096
5930
„Šeit atdusas pēdējais
Nobela prēmijas laureāts fizikā,
Nobela prēmijas laureāts fizikā,
08:16
who formulated the Grand Unified Field Theory

kurš noformulēja Vienotā lauka teoriju
08:19
and demonstrated the practicality of warp drive."
153
497057
3983
un nodemonstrēja WARP dzinēja
praktisko izmantojumu.”
praktisko izmantojumu.”
08:23
(Laughter)
154
501040
2035
(Smiekli)
08:25
Velcro, indeed. (Laughter)
155
503075
4010
Nudien, līpslēdzējs!
(Smiekli)
08:29
One was a great career.
156
507085
3985
Viena bija lieliska karjera.
08:33
One was a missed opportunity.
157
511070
4000
Otra – neizmantota iespēja.
08:37
But then, there are some of you,
158
515070
2000
Bet daži no jums,
08:39
in spite of all these excuses, you will find,
159
517070
3963
neskatoties uz visiem šiem attaisnojumiem,
atradīs savu aicinājumu.
08:43
you will find your passion,
160
521033
3972
Un jums tik un tā nekas neizdosies. Jo...
08:47
and you'll still fail.
161
525005
3024
08:50
You're going to fail, because,
162
528029
3040
08:53
because you're not going to do it,
163
531069
3002
jūs neko nedarīsiet.
08:56
because you will have invented a new excuse,
164
534071
3985
Jo būsiet izgudrojuši jaunu attaisnojumu,
09:00
any excuse to fail to take action, and this excuse
165
538056
5027
jebkādu attaisnojumu,
lai tikai neko neuzsāktu.
lai tikai neko neuzsāktu.
Esmu to ļoti daudz dzirdējis:
09:05
I've heard so many times.
166
543083
2955
09:08
"Yes, I would pursue a great career, but I value
167
546038
11976
„Jā, es varētu veidot lielisku karjeru,
bet
es cienu
09:20
human relationships more than accomplishment.
168
558014
5020
cilvēku attiecības
(Smiekli)
vairāk nekā sasniegumus.
09:25
I want to be a great friend. I want to be a great spouse.
169
563034
4981
Gribu būt lielisks draugs,
lielisks laulātais,
09:30
I want to be a great parent, and I will not sacrifice them
170
568015
3067
lielisks vecāks,
un es to neupurēšu
09:33
on the altar of great accomplishment."
171
571082
3992
uz varenā sasniegumu altāra.”
09:37
(Laughter)
172
575074
2003
(Smiekli)
09:39
What do you want me to say?
173
577077
1961
Ko gribat, lai saku?
09:41
Now, do you really want me to say now, tell you,
174
579038
2999
Vai tiešām vēlaties, lai saku:
09:44
"Really, I swear I don't kick children." (Laughter)
175
582037
3033
„Tiešām, zvēru, es nesitu bērnus.”
(Smiekli)
09:47
Hmm? Look at the worldview you've given yourself.
176
585070
4022
Palūkojieties uz pasaules uzskatu,
ko esat izvēlējušies.
ko esat izvēlējušies.
09:51
You're a hero no matter what, and I, by suggesting,
177
589092
5003
Lai kas arī notiktu,
jūs kļūstat par varoni.
jūs kļūstat par varoni.
Bet es kļūstu par bērnu nīdēju,
09:56
ever so delicately, that you might want a great career,
178
594095
3930
jo piesardzīgi ierosinu jums padomāt,
ka jūs varētu vēlēties lielisku karjeru.
ka jūs varētu vēlēties lielisku karjeru.
10:00
must hate children. I don't hate children. I don't kick them.
179
598025
3001
„Es neienīstu bērnus. Es tos nesitu.
10:03
Yes, there was a little kid wandering through this building
180
601026
2977
Jā, pa šo māju klejoja viens bērns,
10:06
when I came here, and no, I didn't kick him. (Laughter)
181
604003
4029
kad es šeit ierados.
Un nē, es viņu nesitu!
Un nē, es viņu nesitu!
(Smiekli)
10:10
Course, I had to tell him that the building was for adults only
182
608032
3008
Protams, man viņam bija jāpasaka
ka šī māja domāta pieaugušajiem
ka šī māja domāta pieaugušajiem
10:13
and to get out.
183
611040
1042
un lai viņš iet prom.
10:14
He mumbled something about his mother,
184
612082
2000
Viņš kaut ko nomurmināja par savu māti
10:16
and I told him she'd probably find him outside anyway.
185
614082
3984
un es atbildēju,
ka viņa viņu atradīs arī laukā.
ka viņa viņu atradīs arī laukā.
10:20
Last time I saw him, he was on the stairs crying. (Laughter)
186
618066
3946
Pēdējo reizi viņu redzēju
raudam uz kāpnēm.
raudam uz kāpnēm.
(Smiekli)
10:24
What a wimp. (Laughter)
187
622012
2046
Kaut kāds pinkšķētājs.
(Smiekli)
10:26
But what do you mean? That's what you expect me to say.
188
624058
2945
Bet ko ar to gribat teikt?
Jūs sagaidāt, ka tā teikšu.
Jūs sagaidāt, ka tā teikšu.
10:29
You really think, you really think it's appropriate
189
627003
2024
Jūsuprāt, tas tiešām ir pareizi,
10:31
that you should actually take
190
629027
2985
ka par savu vairogu izmantojat bērnus?
10:34
children and use them as a shield?
191
632012
3082
10:37
You know what will happen someday,
192
635094
1985
Ziniet, kas kādudien notiks,
10:39
you, you ideal parent, you?
193
637079
4009
ideālais tēti vai mamma?
10:43
The kid will come to you someday and say,
194
641088
3928
Kādudien bērns pie jums pienāks un teiks:
10:47
"I know what I want to be.
195
645016
2021
„Es zinu, par ko gribu kļūt.
10:49
I know what I'm going to do with my life."
196
647037
2003
Zinu, ko dzīvē gribu darīt.”
10:51
You are so happy. It's the conversation
197
649040
2039
Jūs būsiet tik laimīgs.
To vecāki vēlas dzirdēt,
10:53
a parent wants to hear, because your kid's good in math,
198
651079
2989
jo jūsu bērnam padodas matemātika,
10:56
and you know you're going to like what comes next.
199
654068
3012
un jūs zināt, ka jums patiks tas,
ko viņš teiks.
ko viņš teiks.
10:59
Says your kid, "I have decided
200
657080
2016
Jūsu bērns teiks:
11:01
I want to be a magician.
201
659096
2967
„Esmu nolēmis kļūt par burvju mākslinieku.
11:04
I want to perform magic tricks on the stage."
202
662063
4013
Es gribu uzstāties uz skatuves
ar burvju trikiem.”
ar burvju trikiem.”
11:08
(Laughter)
203
666076
2003
(Smiekli)
11:10
And what do you say?
204
668079
2946
Un ko teiksiet jūs?
11:13
You say, you say,
205
671025
2047
Jūs teiksiet:
11:15
"Umm ... that's risky, kid.
206
673072
3930
„Tas ir riskanti, mans bērns.
11:19
Might fail, kid. Don't make a lot of money at that, kid.
207
677002
2082
Var neizdoties. Tā daudz nenopelnīsi.
11:21
You know, I don't know, kid,
208
679084
1916
Es neesmu drošs. Tev vēl tas jāapdomā.
11:23
you should think about that again, kid,
209
681000
1092
11:24
you're so good at math, why don't you — "
210
682092
1953
Tev tik labi padodas matemātika.
Varbūt…”
Varbūt…”
11:26
And the kid interrupts you, and says,
211
684045
1048
Bērns jūs pārtrauks un teiks:
11:27
"But it is my dream. It is my dream to do this."
212
685093
4944
„Bet tas ir mans sapnis!
Es sapņoju tieši par to.”
Es sapņoju tieši par to.”
11:32
And what are you going to say?
213
690037
1990
Un ko teiksiet jūs?
11:34
You know what you're going to say?
214
692027
1066
Ziniet, ko teiksiet?
11:35
"Look kid. I had a dream once, too, but -- but."
215
693093
5947
„Paklau, bērns.
Arī man reiz bija sapnis, bet..
Arī man reiz bija sapnis, bet..
Kā pabeigsiet šo
teikumu ar savu „bet”?
teikumu ar savu „bet”?
11:41
So how are you going to finish the sentence with your "but"?
216
699040
2987
11:44
"... But. I had a dream too, once, kid, but I was afraid to pursue it."
217
702027
5995
„Arī man reiz bija sapnis,
bet man bija bail to īstenot.”
bet man bija bail to īstenot.”
11:50
Or, are you going to tell him this?
218
708022
2060
Vai teiksiet viņiem:
11:52
"I had a dream once, kid.
219
710082
3974
„Man reiz bija sapnis, mans bērns.
11:56
But then you were born." (Laughter)
220
714056
5005
Bet tad piedzimi tu.”
(Smiekli)
12:01
(Laughter) (Applause)
221
719061
1986
(Aplausi)
12:03
Do you, do you really want to use your family,
222
721047
5042
Vai tiešām gribat izmantot savu ģimeni?
12:08
do you really ever want to look at your spouse
223
726089
2970
Vai tiešām vēlaties raudzīties
uz savu laulāto un bērnu
uz savu laulāto un bērnu
12:11
and your kid and see your jailers?
224
729059
4952
kā saviem gūstītājiem?
12:16
There was something you could have said to your kid
225
734011
3989
Ir kas tāds,
ko varējāt pateikt savam bērnam,
ko varējāt pateikt savam bērnam,
12:20
when he or she said, "I have a dream."
226
738000
4012
kad viņš vai viņa saka: „Man ir sapnis.”
12:24
You could have said, looked the kid in the face, and said,
227
742012
5043
Jūs varējāt teikt,
bērnam acīs skatoties:
12:29
"Go for it, kid,
228
747055
2971
„Dari tā, bērns!
12:32
just like I did."
229
750026
4029
Gluži kā to darīju es.”
12:36
But you won't be able to say that
230
754055
2974
Bet jūs tā nevarēsiet teikt,
12:39
because you didn't. So you can't. (Laughter)
231
757029
7050
jo tā nedarījāt.
Tātad, jūs nevarat.
(Smiekli)
12:46
And so the sins of the parents
232
764079
2955
Tā vecāku grēkus
12:49
are visited on the poor children.
233
767034
5001
pārmanto nabaga bērni.
12:54
Why will you seek refuge in human relationships
234
772035
5036
Kāpēc meklējat glābiņu cilvēku attiecībās
12:59
as your excuse not to find and pursue your passion?
235
777071
5974
kā attaisnojumu
netiekties pēc sava aicinājuma?
netiekties pēc sava aicinājuma?
13:05
You know why.
236
783045
2020
Jūs zināt kāpēc.
13:07
In your heart of hearts, you know why,
237
785065
3027
Kaut kur dziļi sirdī zināt kāpēc.
13:10
and I'm being deadly serious.
238
788092
2924
Es runāju ļoti nopietni.
13:13
You know why you would get all warm and fuzzy
239
791016
2063
Jūs zināt, kāpēc jūs pārņem
remdenums un prāts aptumšojas,
remdenums un prāts aptumšojas,
13:15
and wrap yourself up in human relationships.
240
793079
3003
kad iegrimstat cilvēku attiecībās.
13:18
It is because you are —
241
796082
3977
Jo jūs…
13:22
You know what you are.
242
800059
1981
jūs zināt, kas esat.
13:24
You're afraid to pursue your passion.
243
802040
3979
Jums bail īstenot savu aicinājumu.
13:28
You're afraid to look ridiculous.
244
806019
2013
Baidāties izskatīties smieklīgs,
13:30
You're afraid to try. You're afraid you may fail.
245
808032
6058
baidāties pamēģināt.
Jums ir bail, ka neizdosies.
13:36
Great friend, great spouse, great parent, great career.
246
814090
6938
Lielisks draugs, lielisks laulātais,
lielisks vecāks, lieliska karjera.
lielisks vecāks, lieliska karjera.
13:43
Is that not a package? Is that not who you are?
247
821028
5000
Vai tas nav komplekts?
Vai tas nav tas, kas esat?
Vai tas nav tas, kas esat?
13:48
How can you be one without the other?
248
826028
3025
Kā jūs varat būt viens bez otra?
13:51
But you're afraid.
249
829053
2959
Bet jūs baidāties.
13:54
And that's why you're not going to have a great career, unless --
250
832012
8061
Un tas ir iemesls, kāpēc
nesasniegsiet lielisku karjeru.
nesasniegsiet lielisku karjeru.
Ja vien…
14:02
unless, that most evocative of all English words --
251
840073
6930
„Ja vien” –
šie ir valodas viscerīgākie vārdi.
šie ir valodas viscerīgākie vārdi.
14:09
unless.
252
847003
1088
„Ja vien.”
14:10
But the unless word is also attached
253
848091
4912
Bet „ja vien” ir saistīts
14:15
to that other, most terrifying phrase,
254
853003
5064
ar citu biedējošu vārdu kombināciju:
14:20
"If only I had ... "
255

The most notable start-up he advised in its infancy is Research in Motion (RIM), maker of the BlackBerry.
