Ovo je jako zanimljivo.
01:05
I myselfsebe have a storypriča in BrazilBrazil
that people think is an overnightpreko noći successuspjeh.
18
53216
5774
Moja priča u Brazilu je
priča o uspjehu preko noći.
Dolazim iz skromne obitelji,
01:10
I come from a humbleskroman familyobitelj,
19
58990
2175
01:13
and two weeksTjedni before

I startedpočeo the applicationprimjena processpostupak.
21
64702
2210
započela sam proces prijavljivanja.
01:18
And, voilaVoila! I got in.
22
66912
3014
I eto! Upala sam.
01:21
People maysvibanj think it's
an overnightpreko noći successuspjeh,
23
69926
2840
Ljudi možda misle kako je
to uspjeh preko noći,
ali to je samo zato jer sam
17 godina prije toga,
01:24
but that only workedradio because
for the 17 yearsgodina priorprije to that,
24
72766
4281
01:29
I tookuzeo life and educationobrazovanje seriouslyozbiljno.
25
77047
2103
shvatila život i obrazovanje ozbiljno.
01:31
Your overnightpreko noći successuspjeh storypriča
is always a resultproizlaziti
26
79150
3608
Priča o uspjehu preko
noći je uvijek rezultat
01:34
of everything you've doneučinio in your
life throughkroz that momenttrenutak.
27
82758
3771
svega što ste učinili u svome
životu do tog trenutka.
01:38
Two: Believe someonenetko elsedrugo
has the answersodgovori for you.
28
86529
3700
Dva. Vjerujte da će netko drugi
riješiti vaše dileme.
01:42
ConstantlyStalno, people want
to help out, right?
29
90229
2052
Stalno vam ljudi žele pomoći, zar ne?
01:44
All sortsvrste of people: your familyobitelj,
your friendsprijatelji, your businessPoslovni partnerspartneri,
30
92281
3718
Svi: vaša obitelj, vaši prijatelji,
vaši poslovni partneri,
01:47
they all have opinionsmišljenje
on whichkoji pathstaza you should take:
31
95999
3493
svi oni imaju ideje kojim
putem biste trebali ići:
01:51
"And let me tell you,
go throughkroz this pipecijev."
32
99492
2362
"Slušaj što ti kažem,
odaberi ovu cijev."
01:53
But wheneverkada you go insideiznutra, there are
other waysnačine you have to pickodabrati as well.
33
101854
4617
Ali kada god se nađete unutra, shvatite da
postoji puno putova koje morate odabrati.
01:58
And you need to make
those decisionsodluke yourselfsami.
34
106471
3140
A te odluke morate sami donijeti.
02:01
No one elsedrugo has the perfectsavršen
answersodgovori for your life.
35
109611
3630
Nitko nema savršene
odgovore za vaš život.
02:05
And you need to keep pickingbranje
those decisionsodluke, right?
36
113241
2517
A vi morate donositi
te odluke, u redu?
02:07
The pipescijevi are infinitebeskonačan and
you're going to bumpdžomba your headglava,
37
115758
2846
Jer cijevi su beskonačne i
udariti ćete se u glavu,
02:10
and it's a partdio of the processpostupak.
38
118604
3376
a sve je to dio procesa.
02:13
ThreeTri, and it's very subtlefin
but very importantvažno:
39
121980
4181
Treće, suptilno i vrlo važno:
02:18
DecideOdlučiti to settlepodmiriti when
growthrast is guaranteedzajamčena.
40
126161
2779
Odlučite se zadovoljiti
sigurnim rastom.
02:20
So when your life is going great,
41
128940
1956
Kada vam ide super u životu,
02:22
you have put togetherzajedno a great teamtim,
42
130896
2296
imate super tim,
02:25
and you have growingrastući revenueprihod,
and everything is setset --
43
133192
3436
rastu vam primanja
i sve se složilo --
02:28
time to settlepodmiriti.
44
136628
1561
vrijeme je za smiriti se.
02:30
When I launchedpokrenut my first bookrezervirati,
45
138189
1441
Kada sam objavila prvu knjigu,
02:31
I workedradio really, really hardteško to
distributeraspodijeliti it everywheresvugdje, posvuda in BrazilBrazil.
46
139630
3196
naporno sam radila kako bih je
distribuirala širom Brazila.
02:34
With that, over threetri millionmilijuna
people downloadedpreuzeto it,
47
142826
2436
Uz to, više od 3 milijuna
ljudi ju je već skinulo,
02:37
over 50,000 people
boughtkupio physicalfizička copieskopije.
48
145262
2838
više od 50.000 ljudi je
kupilo fizički primjerak.
02:40
When I wrotenapisao a sequelnastavak,
some impactudar was guaranteedzajamčena.
49
148100
4500
Kada sam pisala nastavak,
neki utjecaj je bio siguran.
02:44
Even if I did little, salesprodajni would be okay.
50
152600
3746
Čak i da sam se malo potrudila,
prodaja bi bila dobra.
02:48
But okay is never okay.
51
156346
1967
Ali dobro nikada nije dobro.
02:50
When you're growingrastući towardsza a peakvrh,
52
158313
2371
Kada težite nekome vrhuncu,
02:52
you need to work harderteže than ever
and find yourselfsami anotherjoš peakvrh.
53
160684
4125
morate raditi više nego ikada
da dosegnete novi vrhunac.
02:56
Maybe if I did little, a couplepar hundredstotina
thousandtisuću people would readčitati it,
54
164809
3619
Da sam malo radila, nekoliko stotina
tisuća ljudi bi pročitalo knjigu,
03:00
and that's great alreadyveć.
55
168428
2165
što je već samo po sebi dobro.
03:02
But if I work harderteže than ever,
56
170593
1894
Ali ako radim više nego prije,
03:04
I can bringdonijeti this numberbroj up to millionsmilijuni.
57
172487
3054
taj broj može doseći milijun.
03:07
That's why I decidedodlučio, with my newnovi bookrezervirati,
to go to everysvaki singlesingl statedržava of BrazilBrazil.
58
175541
3674
Zato sam odlučila, s novom knjigom
obići sve države Brazila.
03:11
And I can alreadyveć see a higherviši peakvrh.
59
179215
2016
I već vidim viši vrh.
03:13
There's no time to settlepodmiriti down.
60
181231
2196
Vrijeme za zadovoljiti se ne postoji.
03:15
FourthČetvrti tipSavjet, and that's really importantvažno:
61
183427
3270
Četvrto, a to je jako važno:
03:18
Believe the faultgreška is someonenetko else'sdrugo je.
62
186697
2956
Vjerujte da je uvijek netko drugi kriv.
03:21
I constantlykonstantno see people sayingizreka,
63
189653
2346
Ljudi to stalno govore.
03:23
"Yes, I had this great ideaideja,
but no investorinvestitor had the visionvizija to investInvestirati."
64
191999
3872
"Da, imam tu super ideju, ali niti
jedan investitor se ne usudi investirati."
03:27
"Oh, I createdstvorio this great productproizvod,
65
195871
1962
"Stvorio sam taj super proizvod,
03:29
but the markettržište is so badloše,
the salesprodajni didn't go well."
66
197833
4272
ali tržište je tako loše,
prodaja nije dobra bila."
03:34
Or, "I can't find good talenttalenat; my teamtim
is so belowispod expectationsočekivanja."
67
202105
4750
ili "Ne mogu pronaći talentirane ljude,
moj tim je tako ispod očekivanja."
03:38
If you have dreamssnovi,
68
206855
1384
Ako imate snove,
03:40
it's your responsibilityodgovornost
to make them happendogoditi se.
69
208239
2514
vaša je odgovornost da ih ostvarite.
03:43
Yes, it maysvibanj be hardteško to find talenttalenat.
70
211663
2736
Da, možda je teško
pronaći talentirane ljude.
03:46
Yes, the markettržište maysvibanj be badloše.
71
214399
2170
Da, možda je tržište loše.
03:48
But if no one investeduloženo in your ideaideja,
72
216569
2021
Ali ako nitko ne investira u vašu ideju,
03:50
if no one boughtkupio your productproizvod,
73
218590
1921
ako nitko ne kupi vaš proizvod,
03:52
for sure, there is something
there that is your faultgreška.
74
220511
3040
budite sigurni, tu negdje
mora biti vaša greška.
03:55
(LaughterSmijeh)
75
223551
2037
(Smijeh)
03:57
DefinitelyDefinitivno.
76
225588
1694
Sigurno.
03:59
You need to get your dreamssnovi
and make them happendogoditi se.
77
227282
2931
Morate uhvatiti vaše
snove i ostvariti ih.
04:02
And no one achievedpostići theirnjihov goalsciljevi alonesam.
78
230213
3192
Nitko nije sam ostvario svoje snove.
04:05
But if you didn't make them happendogoditi se,
it's your faultgreška and no one else'sdrugo je.
79
233405
4211
Ali ako ih ne ostvarite, to je samo
vaša krivnja i od nikoga drugoga.
04:09
Be responsibleodgovoran for your dreamssnovi.
80
237616
1975
Budite odgovorni za svoje snove.
04:12
And one last tipSavjet, and this one is
really importantvažno as well:
81
240891
4359
I zadnje, ovo je isto tako vrlo važno:
04:18
Believe that the only things that matterstvar
are the dreamssnovi themselvesse.
82
246160
4995
Vjerujte da su važni jedino sami snovi.
04:23
OnceJednom I saw an adoglas,
and it was a lot of friendsprijatelji,
83
251155
2971
Vidjela sam jednu reklamu,
s hrpom prijatelja,
04:26
they were going up a mountainplanina,
it was a very highvisok mountainplanina,
84
254126
3065
penjali su se na planinu,
vrlo visoku planinu,
04:29
and it was a lot of work.
85
257191
1291
što je zahtijevno.
04:30
You could see that they
were sweatingznojenje and this was toughtvrd.
86
258482
3114
Mogli ste vidjeti da se znoje
i da im je teško.
04:33
And they were going up,
and they finallykonačno madenapravljen it to the peakvrh.
87
261596
3126
Tako su se penjali i
napokon su stigli na vrh.
04:36
Of coursenaravno, they decidedodlučio
to celebrateslaviti, right?
88
264722
2187
Naravno, odlučili su proslaviti, zar ne?
04:38
I'm going to celebrateslaviti, so,
89
266909
1366
Jer moraš to proslaviti
04:40
"Yes! We madenapravljen it, we're at the topvrh!"
90
268275
2504
"To! Uspjeli smo, na vrhu smo!"
04:42
Two secondssekundi laterkasnije, one looksizgled
at the other and sayskaže,
91
270779
2909
Dvije sekunde kasnije, jedan
pogleda drugoga i kaže:
04:45
"Okay, let's go down."
92
273688
2017
"OK, idemo dolje."
04:47
(LaughterSmijeh)
93
275705
1160
(Smijeh)
04:48
Life is never about the goalsciljevi themselvesse.
94
276865
2460
Život se ne sastoji samo od ciljeva.
04:51
Life is about the journeyputovanje.
95
279325
2791
Život se sastoji od putovanja.
04:54
Yes, you should enjoyuživati
the goalsciljevi themselvesse,
96
282116
2261
Trebali biste uživati u
ostvarenim ciljevima,
04:56
but people think that you have dreamssnovi,
97
284377
2946
ali ljudi misle da imate snove
04:59
and wheneverkada you get to reachingdostizanje
one of those dreamssnovi,
98
287323
2538
i kada god ostvarite jedan od tih snova,
05:01
it's a magicalčaroban placemjesto where
happinesssreća will be all around.
99
289861
3859
nalazite se na magičnom mjestu
okruženi samom srećom.
05:05
But achievingpostizanje a dreamsan
is a momentaryprolazan sensationosjećaj,
100
293720
3231
Ali ostvarenje sna je
senzacija trenutka,
05:08
and your life is not.
101
296951
2444
a vaš život to nije.
05:11
The only way to really achievepostići
all of your dreamssnovi
102
299395
3322
Jedini način da zbilja
ostvarite sve svoje snove
05:14
is to fullypotpuno enjoyuživati everysvaki stepkorak
of your journeyputovanje.
103
302717
3402
je da potpuno uživate u svakom
koraku na tom putovanju.
05:18
That's the bestnajbolje way.
104

To je najbolji način.
05:19
And your journeyputovanje is simplejednostavan --
it's madenapravljen of stepskoraci.
105
307513
2318
Putovanje je jednostavno
-- sastoji se od koraka.
05:21
Some stepskoraci will be right on.

Neki će biti na pravom putu.

SometimesPonekad you will tripputovanje.
107

Ponekad ćete se spotaknuti.
05:26
If it's right on, celebrateslaviti, because
some people wait a lot to celebrateslaviti.
108
314108

Ako ste na pravom putu, slavite
jer neki dugo čekaju slavlje.
05:30
And if you trippedSpotaknuo, turnskretanje that
