ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Richard St. John - Marketer, success analyst
A self-described average guy who found success doing what he loved, Richard St. John spent more than a decade researching the lessons of success -- and distilling them into 8 words, 3 minutes and one successful book.

Why you should listen

Richard St. John was on his way to the TED conference when a girl on the plane asked him, "What really leads to success?" Even though he had achieved some success, he couldn't explain how he did it. So he spent the next ten years researching success and asking over 500 extraordinarily successful people in many fields what helped them succeed. After analyzing, sorting, and correlating millions of words of research, and building one of the most organized databases on the subject of success, he discovered "The 8 Traits Successful People Have in Common" and wrote the bestseller 8 To Be Great.

In his books and talks,he shares a wealth of wisdom from the world's most successful people -- knowledge that can help others succeed in their own way, whether it's escaping poverty, building a business, raising a family, or changing the world.

Ричард С.Ҷон дар услуби махсуси бегарази худ ба мо хотиррасон мекунад, ки муваффақият ин ҳаракати якҷонибаи ба боло ҳаракаткунанда нест, аммо саёҳати бефосилаи дар давраи сарбаста мебошад. Вай таърихи тарақиёт ва пастравии бизнеси худро истифода намуда, хамчун намунаи дарси бебахои худ — вақте, ки мо беҳаракатем, мо меафтем истифода мекунад.

Why do so many people reach success and then fail?
0
0
5000
Барои чи бисёри одамон ба баландихои муваффакият мерасанд, баъд аз он меафтанд?
00:23
One of the big reasons is, we think success is a one-way street.
1
5000
4000
Яке аз сабабхои асосии ин: мо фикр мекунем, ки муваффакият-ин кучаи бо харакати яктарафа мебошад.
00:27
So we do everything that leads up to success,
2
9000
2000
Аввалан мо хамаи оне, ки ба муваффакият меорад мекунем.
00:29
but then we get there. We figure we've made it,
3
11000
2000
Вале вакте, ки муваффакият ба даст омад, мо фикр мекунем, ки кор тамом
00:31
we sit back in our comfort zone,
4
13000
2000
ва мо суст мешавем.
00:33
and we actually stop doing everything that made us successful.
5
15000
3000
Мо хамаи он коре, ки моро ба муваффакият оварда расонд дигар намекунем.
00:36
And it doesn't take long to go downhill.
6
18000
2000
Ва баъд ин барои ба поён фаромадан вакти бисёрро намегирад.
00:38
And I can tell you this happens,
7
20000
2000
Ва ман шуморо бовар мекунонам, ки ин хел мешавад.
00:40
because it happened to me.
8
22000
3000
Барои он, ки ин бо худи ман рух дода буд.
00:43
Reaching success, I worked hard, I pushed myself.
9
25000
3000
Барои ба даст омадани муваффакият, ман худамро мачбур мекардам, ки сахт кор кунам.
00:46
But then I stopped, because I figured, "Oh, you know, I made it.
10
28000
3000
Баъд ман даст кашидам. Баъд ман чи фикр мекардам «Кобили таачуб аст, ки ман муваффакиятро сохиб шудам.
00:49
I can just sit back and relax."
11
31000
2000
Ман метавонам дигар ягон кор накунам, факат истирохат кунам.»
00:51
Reaching success, I always tried to improve and do good work.
12
33000
4000
Баъди ба муваффакият расидан, ман доим дарачаи ихтисоси худамро баланд мебардоштам ва хуб кор мекардам.
00:55
But then I stopped because I figured, "Hey, I'm good enough.
13
37000
3000
Вале баъд ман бас кардам, барои он, ки ман карор додам, ки ман хубам
00:58
I don't need to improve any more."
14
40000
2000
ва ба ман дигар мукаммал кардани корам лозим нест.
01:00
Reaching success, I was pretty good at coming up with good ideas.
15
42000
4000
Баъди ба муваффакият расидан ман пур аз акидахои нав будам,
01:04
Because I did all these simple things that led to ideas.
16
46000
3000
барои ин, ки ман кори харрузае, ки маро ба пайдо шудани акидахо мебурд мекардам.
01:07
But then I stopped, because I figured I was this hot-shot guy
17
49000
3000
Баъдтар ман бас кардам ва карор додам, ки ман шахси муътабарам,
01:10
and I shouldn't have to work at ideas, they should just come like magic.
18
52000
3000
ва акидахо бояд худашон оянд ба мисли афсунгари.
01:13
And the only thing that came was creative block.
19
55000
2000
Вале факат як чиз омад « таназзули эчоди».
01:15
I couldn't come up with any ideas.
20
57000
3000
Ягон фикр ба сари ман намеомад.
01:18
Reaching success, I always focused on clients and projects,
21
60000
3000
Баъди расидан ба муваффакият, ман доим дар чои аввал мизочон ва накшахои онхоро мемондам
01:21
and ignored the money. Then all this money started pouring in.
22
63000
3000
ва ба пул ахамият намедодам. Ва вакте, ки пулхо ба мисли дарё рафтанд,
01:24
And I got distracted by it.
23
66000
2000
ман ба дигар бокимондааш ахамият надодам.
01:26
And suddenly I was on the phone to my stockbroker and my real estate agent,
24
68000
3000
Ногахон ман дар телефон бо брокери худ дар савдои сахмхо ва агенти амволи гайриманкул дучор шудам,
01:29
when I should have been talking to my clients.
25
71000
3000
ба чои он, ки бо мизочон гуфтугу гузаронам.
01:32
And reaching success, I always did what I loved.
26
74000
3000
Баъди ба муваффакият ноил шудан, ман доим кореро мекардам, ки ба ман маъкул буд.
01:35
But then I got into stuff that I didn't love,
27
77000
2000
Баъдтар ман кореро мекардам, ки ба ман макул набуд,
01:37
like management. I am the world's worst manager,
28
79000
3000
рохбарикуни. Ман аз хама рохбари бадтарин дар чахон будам.
01:40
but I figured I should be doing it, because I was, after all,
29
82000
2000
Вале ман карор додам, ки ман бояд рохбари кунам, чунки ман
01:42
the president of the company.
30
84000
2000
президенти компания будам.
01:44
Well, soon a black cloud formed over my head
31
86000
3000
Ба наздики абрхои сиях ба болои сари ман чамъ шуданд.
01:47
and here I was, outwardly very successful,
32
89000
2000
Ва ана ман, зохиран хеле некбахт,
01:49
but inwardly very depressed.
33
91000
2000
дар дипрессия афтодам.
01:51
But I'm a guy; I knew how to fix it.
34
93000
4000
Вале ман мардам, ман медонам, чи хел аз нав ба худ оям.
01:55
I bought a fast car.
35
97000
2000
Ман автомобили тезрав харидам.
01:57
(Laughter)
36
99000
3000
(Ханда)
02:00
It didn't help.
37
102000
2000
Ин ёрдам накард.
02:02
I was faster but just as depressed.
38
104000
2000
Ман тезтар будам, аммо хамон хел рухафтода.
02:04
So I went to my doctor. I said, "Doc,
39
106000
3000
Ман ба назди духтур рафтам. Ман ба духтур гуфтам,
02:07
I can buy anything I want. But I'm not happy. I'm depressed.
40
109000
4000
ки ман чизе, ки хохам харида метавонам, вале ин ба ман хушбахти намеорад. Ман дар дипрессияам.
02:11
It's true what they say, and I didn't believe it until it happened to me.
41
113000
3000
Ин рост, вакте, ки одамон мегуянд, вале ман бовар намекардам, то вакте, ки бо худам рух надод,
02:14
But money can't buy happiness."
42
116000
3000
ки хушбахтиро бо пул харида намешавад.
02:17
He said, "No. But it can buy Prozac."
43
119000
3000
Духтур бо ман рози шуд, вале кайд кард, ки бо пул Прозак (дору барои дипрессия) харида мешавад.
02:20
And he put me on anti-depressants.
44
122000
2000
Ва дорухои зидди-дипрессия навишт.
02:22
And yeah, the black cloud faded a little bit, but so did all the work,
45
124000
4000
Ва абрхо каме пароканда шуданд, ва инчунин бизнес.
02:26
because I was just floating along. I couldn't care less if clients ever called.
46
128000
4000
Барои он, ки ман факат бо чараён шино мекардам. Ба ман фарке надошт, ки оё мизочон занг мезаданд.
02:30
(Laughter)
47
132000
3000
(Ханда)
02:33
And clients didn't call.
48
135000
2000
Вале мизочон занг намезаданд
02:35
(Laughter)
49
137000
1000
(Ханда)
02:36
Because they could see I was no longer serving them,
50
138000
2000
Барои ин, ки ман талаботхои онхоро конеъ намекардам.
02:38
I was only serving myself.
51
140000
2000
Ман факат аз худамро конеъ мекардам.
02:40
So they took their money and their projects to others who would serve them better.
52
142000
3000
Онхо пулхои худро аз бизнеси ман ба дигархое, ки барои онхо хубтар буд гузарониданд.
02:43
Well, it didn't take long for business to drop like a rock.
53
145000
4000
Баъди вакти кутох бизнесам фуру рафт.
02:47
My partner and I, Thom, we had to let all our employees go.
54
149000
4000
Партнёри ман Томас ва ман хамаи коргаронро чавоб додем,
02:51
It was down to just the two of us, and we were about to go under.
55
153000
2000
танхо ду каси мо мондем ва мо кариб муфлис шудем.
02:53
And that was great.
56
155000
2000
Ва ин бисёр хуб буд.
02:55
Because with no employees, there was nobody for me to manage.
57
157000
4000
Барои он, ки бе коргарон ман рохбари карда наметавонистам.
02:59
So I went back to doing the projects I loved.
58
161000
3000
Ман ба амали кардани накшахое, ки дуст медоштам огоз кардам.
03:02
I had fun again, I worked harder and, to cut a long story short,
59
164000
4000
Ба ман маъкул буд. Ман бисёртар кор мекардам. Хулоса,
03:06
did all the things that took me back up to success.
60
168000
3000
ман хамаи он чизе, ки маро ба кафо ба муваффакияти бизнес овард кардам.
03:09
But it wasn't a quick trip.
61
171000
2000
Вале ин зуд нашуд.
03:11
It took seven years.
62
173000
2000
Ин хафт солро дар бар гирифт.
03:13
But in the end, business grew bigger than ever.
63
175000
3000
Ва дар охир бизнес боло рафт.
03:16
And when I went back to following these eight principles,
64
178000
3000
Ва вакте, ки ман ба хашт конуни асосии муваффакият бар мегаштам,
03:19
the black cloud over my head disappeared altogether.
65
181000
3000
абри сиёх аз болои сари ман гум мешуд.
03:22
And I woke up one day and I said,
66
184000
2000
Ман замоне бедор шудам ва ба худам гуфтам,
03:24
"I don't need Prozac anymore."
67
186000
2000
ки ба ман дигар Прозак лозим нест.
03:26
And I threw it away and haven't needed it since.
68
188000
2000
Ман дорухоро партофтам ва аз хамон лахза онхо дигар ба ман лозим нестанд.
03:28
I learned that success isn't a one-way street.
69
190000
3000
Ман фахмидам, ки муваффакият ин харакати яктарафа нест.
03:31
It doesn't look like this; it really looks more like this.
70
193000
3000
Ин чунин наменамояд, ана ин хел.
03:34
It's a continuous journey.
71
196000
2000
Ин саёхати бефосила дар доираи сарбаста мебошад.
03:36
And if we want to avoid "success-to-failure-syndrome,"
72
198000
3000
Ва агар мо мехохем, ки аз «аломати аз муваффакият то фурурави» гурезем,
03:39
we just keep following these eight principles,
73
201000
2000
мо бояд ин хашт конунро пайрави намоем.
03:41
because that is not only how we achieve success,
74
203000
3000
Барои он, ки мо натанхо ба муваффакият мерасем,
03:44
it's how we sustain it.
75
206000
2000
инчунин чи хел вайро дастгири мекунем.
03:46
So here is to your continued success.
76
208000
2000
Ба шумо муваффакияти идомави.
03:48
Thank you very much.
77
210000
2000
Ташакури зиёд.
03:50
