A few years ago,
0
0
2000
Ilang taon na ang nakalipas,
00:17
I felt like I was stuck in a rut,
1
2000
3000
pakiramdam ko ay lugmok na ako,
00:20
so I decided to follow in the footsteps
2
5000
2000
kaya nagpasya akong sundan ang mga yapak
00:22
of the great American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock,
3
7000
3000
ni Morgan Spurlock, isang magaling na pilosopo ng Amerika,
00:25
and try something new for 30 days.
4
10000
3000
na sumubok ng bago sa loob ng 30 araw.
00:28
The idea is actually pretty simple.
5
13000
2000
Simple lang ang ideyang ito.
00:30
Think about something you've always wanted to add to your life
6
15000
3000
Isipin mo ang isang bagay na gusto mong idagdag sa iyong karanasan
00:33
and try it for the next 30 days.
7
18000
3000
at subukan mo iyon sa sumusunod na 30 araw.
00:36
It turns out,
8
21000
2000
Kung tutuusin,
00:38
30 days is just about the right amount of time
9
23000
2000
ang 30 araw ay sapat na panahon lang
00:40
to add a new habit or subtract a habit --
10
25000
2000
upang dagdagan o bawasan ang isang kasanayan --
00:42
like watching the news --
11
27000
2000
gaya ng panood ng balita --
00:44
from your life.
12
29000
2000
sa iyong buhay.
00:46
There's a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges.
13
31000
3000
May iilang bagay akong natutunan habang ginagawa ko ang mga 30-araw na hamon.
00:49
The first was,
14
34000
2000
Una,
00:51
instead of the months flying by, forgotten,
15
36000
3000
sa halip na lumipas ang mga buwan na madaling nalilimutan,
00:54
the time was much more memorable.
16
39000
3000
nagiging mas madali itong matandaan.
00:57
This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture every day for a month.
17
42000
3000
Bahagi ito ng hamon ko na kumuha ng litrato kada araw sa loob ng isang buwan.
01:00
And I remember exactly where I was
18
45000
3000
At natatandaan ko mismo kung saan
01:03
and what I was doing that day.
19
48000
3000
at ano ang ginagawa ko sa araw na yan.
01:06
I also noticed
20
51000
2000
Napansin ko din
01:08
that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges,
21
53000
2000
na habang pahirap ng pahirap ang mga 30-araw na hamon,
01:10
my self-confidence grew.
22
55000
2000
lumalaki ang kumpansya ko sa sarili.
01:12
I went from desk-dwelling computer nerd
23
57000
2000
Mula sa pagiging nerd na nakaharap sa kompyuter noon
01:14
to the kind of guy who bikes to work --
24
59000
3000
ay nagbibisikleta na ngayon papuntang trabaho --
01:17
for fun.
25
62000
3000
bilang katuwaan.
01:20
Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro,
26
65000
3000
Noong isang taon, inakyat ko ang Mt. Kilimanjaro,
01:23
the highest mountain in Africa.
27
68000
2000
ang pinakamatayog sa Aprika.
01:25
I would never have been that adventurous
28
70000
3000
Hindi ako magiging kasing-pangahas
01:28
before I started my 30-day challenges.
29
73000
3000
noong hindi ko pa sinimulan ang mga 30-araw na hamon.
01:31
I also figured out
30
76000
2000
Napagtanto ko din
01:33
that if you really want something badly enough,
31
78000
2000
na kung gugustuhin mo lang talaga ang isang bagay,
01:35
you can do anything for 30 days.
32
80000
3000
magagawa mo ang kahit ano sa loob ng 30 araw.
01:38
Have you ever wanted to write a novel?
33
83000
2000
Nakapagsulat ka na ba ng nobela?
01:40
Every November,
34
85000
2000
Kada Nobyembre ng taon,
01:42
tens of thousands of people
35
87000
2000
sampung libong katao
01:44
try to write their own 50,000-word novel from scratch
36
89000
4000
ang sumusubok magsulat ng nobelang may 50,000 na salita
01:48
in 30 days.
37
93000
2000
sa loob ng 30 araw.
01:50
It turns out, all you have to do
38
95000
2000
Ang kailangan mo lang palang gawin
01:52
is write 1,667 words a day
39
97000
3000
ay sumulat ng 1,667 na salita kada araw
01:55
for a month.
40
100000
2000
sa loob ng isang buwan.
01:57
So I did.
41
102000
2000
Kaya ginawa ko yun.
01:59
By the way, the secret is not to go to sleep
42
104000
2000
Ang sikreto dito ay hindi ka maaring matulog
02:01
until you've written your words for the day.
43
106000
3000
hangga't hindi mo natatapos ang pagsusulat para sa araw na iyon.
02:04
You might be sleep-deprived,
44
109000
2000
Maaring inaantok ka palagi,
02:06
but you'll finish your novel.
45
111000
2000
ngunit siguradong tapos mo ang nobela.
02:08
Now is my book the next great American novel?
46
113000
4000
Maihahanay na ba sa mga pinakamahusay ang libro ko?
02:12
No. I wrote it in a month.
47
117000
2000
Siyempre hindi. Sinulat ko lang iyon ng isang buwan.
02:14
It's awful.
48
119000
3000
Ang pangit.
02:17
But for the rest of my life,
49
122000
2000
Pero sa natitirang bahagi ng buhay ko,
02:19
if I meet John Hodgman at a TED party,
50
124000
3000
kung magtatagpo kami ni ni John Hodgman sa isang TED party,
02:22
I don't have to say,
51
127000
2000
hindi ko sasabihing,
02:24
"I'm a computer scientist."
52
129000
2000
"Isa akong computer scientist."
02:26
No, no, if I want to, I can say, "I'm a novelist."
53
131000
3000
Hindi, ngayon pwede ko nang sabihing "Isa akong nobelista."
02:29
(Laughter)
54
134000
3000
(Tawanan)
02:32
So here's one last thing I'd like to mention.
55
137000
3000
Ito ang huling bagay na nais kong banggitin.
02:35
I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes,
56
140000
3000
Natutunan ko na noong ginagawa ko ang mga paunti-unting pagbabago,
02:38
things I could keep doing,
57
143000
2000
mga gawaing kaya kong ulit-ulitin,
02:40
they were more likely to stick.
58
145000
2000
ito'y nagiging kaugalian.
02:42
There's nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges.
59
147000
3000
Walang masama sa mga nakakabaliw na hamon.
02:45
In fact, they're a ton of fun.
60
150000
3000
Sa katunayan, nakakatuwa ang mga yun.
02:48
But they're less likely to stick.
61
153000
2000
Pero mas mahirap silang ulitin.
02:50
When I gave up sugar for 30 days,
62
155000
2000
Noong tinigil ko ang asukal sa loob ng 30 araw,
02:52
day 31 looked like this.
63
157000
2000
ito na ang ika-31 araw.
02:54
(Laughter)
64
159000
2000
(Tawanan)
02:56
So here's my question to you:
65
161000
3000
Kaya ito ang tanong ko sa inyo:
02:59
What are you waiting for?
66
164000
2000
Ano pa ang hinihintay mo?
03:01
I guarantee you the next 30 days
67
166000
2000
Pinapangako ko na ang susunod na 30 araw
03:03
are going to pass
68
168000
2000
ay lilipas din
03:05
whether you like it or not,
69
170000
2000
gustuhin mo man o hindi,
03:07
so why not think about something
70
172000
2000
kaya bakit hindi ka nalang sumubok
03:09
you have always wanted to try
71
174000
2000
ng bagay na dati mo pang pinapangarap gawin
03:11
and give it a shot
72
176000
2000
at pagsikapan
03:13
for the next 30 days.
73
178000
2000
sa susunod na 30 araw.
03:15
Thanks.
74
180000
2000
Salamat.
03:17
(Applause)
75
182000
4000
