I dedicated the past two years
to understanding
0
898
2335
मैंले गत २ बर्ष, मानिसहरु कसरी आफ्नो सपना
00:15
how people achieve their dreams.
1
3233
2070
पुरा गर्छन भन्ने जान्न समर्पण गरें ।
00:17
When we think about the dreams we have,
2
5303
2046
जब हामी हाम्रो सपनाको बारेमा सोच्छौं ,
00:19
and the dent we want to leave
in the universe,
3
7349
2642
संसारमा आफ्नो निशानी छोड्न चाहन्छौं ,
00:21
it is striking to see how big
of an overlap there is
4
9991
3726
त्यतिखेर, हाम्रो सपना र कहिल्यै
पुरा नभएको परियोजना को बिचमा
00:25
between the dreams that we have
and projects that never happen.
5
13717
3334
आश्चर्यलाग्दो समायोजन भेटिन्छ ।
00:29
(Laughter)
6
17051
1514
-----(हाँसो)-----
00:30
So I'm here to talk to you today
7
18565
1945
त्यसैले आज म तपाईंहरुसंग
00:32
about five ways how not
to follow your dreams.
8
20510
4403
छलफल गर्दैछु आफ्नो सपनाको पछि नलाग्ने
५ तरिकाको बारेमा ।
00:36
One: Believe in overnight success.
9
24913
4443
१: राता रात सफल हुने कुरामा
बिश्वास राख्नुस ।
00:41
You know the story, right?
10
29356
1649
यो कथा त सुन्नुभाको छ नि, है ?
00:43
The tech guy built a mobile app
and sold it very fast for a lot of money.
11
31005
4675
एकजना मान्छेले एउटा मोबाइल एप बनायो, र
धेरै पैसामा छिट्टै बिक्यो ।
00:48
You know, the story may seem real,
but I bet it's incomplete.
12
36580
3887
यो कथा वास्तविक देखिन सक्छ, तर अपूर्ण छ ।
00:52
If you go investigate further,
13
40467
2300
गहिरिएर अध्ययन गर्ने हो भने ,
00:54
the guy has done 30 apps before
14
42767
2337
यो भन्दा पहिले उसले ३० वोटा एप
बनाईसकेको थियो ।
00:57
and he has done a master's
on the topic, a Ph.D.
15
45104
2748
र उसले त्यहि बिषयमा मास्टर्स र
Ph.D. गरेको छ
00:59
He has been working
on the topic for 20 years.
16
47852
3587
अघिल्लो २० बर्ष देखि उ त्यसै बिषयमा
काम गर्दै थियो ।
01:03
This is really interesting,
17
51439
1777
यो साँचै रमाइलो प्रसंग छ ।
01:05
I myself have a story in Brazil
that people think is an overnight success.
18
53216
5774
मेरो आफ्नै घटना छ ब्राजिलको, जसलाई
मानिसहरु एकरातको सफलता भन्ठान्छन् ।
01:10
I come from a humble family,
19
58990
2175
म साधारण परिवारको मान्छे हुँ ,
01:13
and two weeks before
the deadline to apply to MIT,
20
61165
3537
MIT मा निवेदनदिने अन्तिम दिनको
२ हप्ता अगाडी,
01:16
I started the application process.
21
64702
2210
मैंले निवेदनको तयारी सुरु गरें ।
01:18
And, voila! I got in.
22
66912
3014
म भर्ना हुन पाएँ ।
01:21
People may think it's
an overnight success,
23
69926
2840
मानिसहरु भन्छन्, यो अकस्मात मिलेको
सफलता हो,
01:24
but that only worked because
for the 17 years prior to that,
24
72766
4281
तर गत १७ बर्षको मिहिनेत र परिश्रमको कारण
01:29
I took life and education seriously.
25
77047
2103
मैंले भर्ना पाएको हुँ ।
01:31
Your overnight success story
is always a result
26
79150
3608
तपाईंलाइ अकस्मात मिलेको सफलता -
01:34
of everything you've done in your
life through that moment.
27
82758
3771
त्यो समयमा आइपुग्दा सम्ममा जीवनपर्यन्त
गरिएको मिहिनेतको नतिजा हो ।
01:38
Two: Believe someone else
has the answers for you.
28
86529
3700
दोश्रो: अरुनै कसैले यसको उत्तर दिनेछ ।
01:42
Constantly, people want
to help out, right?
29
90229
2052
मानिसहरु सधैं मद्धत खोजिरहन्छन् ।
01:44
All sorts of people: your family,
your friends, your business partners,
30
92281
3718
परिवार, साथीहरु, बिजिनेस पार्टनर सबैले
01:47
they all have opinions
on which path you should take:
31
95999
3493
तपाईंलाइ कुन बाटो लाग्नुपर्छ भन्ने
सल्लाह दिन्छन्:
01:51
"And let me tell you,
go through this pipe."
32
99492
2362
यो सल्लाहको पछि लाग्नुभयो भने,
01:53
But whenever you go inside, there are
other ways you have to pick as well.
33
101854
4617
त्यहाँ तपाईंले निर्णय लिनुपर्ने अन्य
मोडहरु देखिन्छन् ।
01:58
And you need to make
those decisions yourself.
34
106471
3140
र यी निर्णयहरु तपाईं आफैंले
लिनुपर्ने हुन्छ ।
02:01
No one else has the perfect
answers for your life.
35
109611
3630
तपाईंको जीवनको सहि जवाफ कसैसंग हुदैन ।
02:05
And you need to keep picking
those decisions, right?
36
113241
2517
तपाईंले यस्ता निर्णयहरु लिईराख्नु पर्छ ।
02:07
The pipes are infinite and
you're going to bump your head,
37
115758
2846
अनगिन्ति बाटोहरु साम्मुने आएर
तपाईंले टाउको ठोक्नुहुनेछ ।
02:10
and it's a part of the process.
38
118604
3376
यो त्यहि मार्गको पाटो हो ।
02:13
Three, and it's very subtle
but very important:
39
121980
4181
तेस्रो: यो धेरै सुक्ष्म तर
अत्ति महत्वपूर्ण सुझाव छ:
02:18
Decide to settle when
growth is guaranteed.
40
126161
2779
उन्नतिको सम्भावना प्रस्ट छ भने,
आनन्दले बस्नु ।
02:20
So when your life is going great,
41
128940
1956
तपाईंको जीवन राम्रोसंग बित्दै छ भने,
02:22
you have put together a great team,
42
130896
2296
काम गर्ने समूह राम्रो बनाउनु भयो भने
02:25
and you have growing revenue,
and everything is set --
43
133192
3436
आम्दानीको बाटो राम्रो भयो भने,
सबै ठिक भयो ।
02:28
time to settle.
44
136628
1561
आनन्दले बस्ने बेला आयो ।
02:30
When I launched my first book,
45
138189
1441
मैले पहिलो किताब निकाल्दा,
02:31
I worked really, really hard to
distribute it everywhere in Brazil.
46
139630
3196
ब्राजिलभर वितरण गर्नको लागि
धेरै मिहेनेत गरें ।
02:34
With that, over three million
people downloaded it,
47
142826
2436
जसको कारण, ३ लाख भन्दा बढीले
किताब डाउनलोड गरे भने,
02:37
over 50,000 people
bought physical copies.
48
145262
2838
५०,००० भन्दा बढीले किताब किने ।
02:40
When I wrote a sequel,
some impact was guaranteed.
49
148100
4500
मैंले सोहि किताबको दोस्रो भाग निकाल्दा
त्यसको प्रभाब पर्ने छ ।
02:44
Even if I did little, sales would be okay.
50
152600
3746
थोरै मात्रै मिहेनेत गरे पनि,
बिक्रि राम्रै हुन्छ ।
02:48
But okay is never okay.
51
156346
1967
तर "राम्रै" कहिले "राम्रो" हुँदैन ।
02:50
When you're growing towards a peak,
52
158313
2371
जब तपाईं चुचुरो चड्दै हुनुहुन्छ भने,
02:52
you need to work harder than ever
and find yourself another peak.
53
160684
4125
तपाईंले झन् बढी मिहेनेत गर्नु पर्छ, र
अर्को चुचुरो चड्नु पर्छ ।
02:56
Maybe if I did little, a couple hundred
thousand people would read it,
54
164809
3619
होला, मैंले केहि मिहेनेत गरें भने,
केहि लाख मानिसले पढ्लान्,
03:00
and that's great already.
55
168428
2165
त्यो आफैंमा राम्रो हो ।
03:02
But if I work harder than ever,
56
170593
1894
तर, मैंले अझ बढी मिहेनेत गरें भने,
03:04
I can bring this number up to millions.
57
172487
3054
मैंले यहि संख्यालाइ लाखौंमा
पुर्याउन सक्छु ।
03:07
That's why I decided, with my new book,
to go to every single state of Brazil.
58
175541
3674
त्यसैले मैंले, नया किताबको प्रचार गर्न
ब्राजिलको हरेक जिल्ला पुगें ।
03:11
And I can already see a higher peak.
59
179215
2016
यसको प्रभाव प्रस्ट देख्न सक्छु ।
03:13
There's no time to settle down.
60
181231
2196
"आनन्दले बस्ने" भन्ने समय हुँदैन ।
03:15
Fourth tip, and that's really important:
61
183427
3270
चौथो र महत्वपूर्ण सुझाव:
03:18
Believe the fault is someone else's.
62
186697
2956
सम्झिनुहोस, गल्तिजति सबै अरुको हो ।
03:21
I constantly see people saying,
63
189653
2346
बारम्बार देखिन्छ, मान्छेहरु भन्छन् -
03:23
"Yes, I had this great idea,
but no investor had the vision to invest."
64
191999
3872
"म संग यो राम्रो योजना थियो, तर कसैले
लगानी गर्ने हिम्मत गरेनन् " ।
03:27
"Oh, I created this great product,
65
195871
1962
"मैंले यस्तो राम्रो बस्तु बनाएँ,
03:29
but the market is so bad,
the sales didn't go well."
66
197833
4272
तर बजार यस्तो खत्तम छ,
राम्रो व्यापार नै भएन"।
03:34
Or, "I can't find good talent; my team
is so below expectations."
67
202105
4750
"क्षमतावान मान्छे नभेटिनाले हाम्रो समूहले
राम्रो काम गर्न सकिरहेको छैन" ।
03:38
If you have dreams,
68
206855
1384
यदि तपाईंसंग सपना छ भने,
03:40
it's your responsibility
to make them happen.
69
208239
2514
त्यसलाई पुरा गर्नु पनि तपाईंको
जिम्मेवारी हो ।
03:43
Yes, it may be hard to find talent.
70
211663
2736
हो, प्रतिभावान व्यक्ति पाउन गाह्रो होला,
03:46
Yes, the market may be bad.
71
214399
2170
हो, बजार नराम्रो होला,
03:48
But if no one invested in your idea,
72
216569
2021
तपाईंको कल्पनालाइ कसैले लगानी गरेको होइन,
03:50
if no one bought your product,
73
218590
1921
कसैले तपाईंको उत्पादन किनेनन् भने,
03:52
for sure, there is something
there that is your fault.
74
220511
3040
पक्कै पनि तपाईंकै केहि कमजोरी छ ।
03:55
(Laughter)
75
223551
2037
-----(हाँसो)-----
03:57
Definitely.
76
225588
1694
निश्चितरुपमा
03:59
You need to get your dreams
and make them happen.
77
227282
2931
तपाईंले देखेको सपना, तपाईं स्वयम्ले
पुरा गर्नुपर्छ ।
04:02
And no one achieved their goals alone.
78
230213
3192
आजसम्म कसैले एक्लै आफ्नो लक्ष
प्राप्त गरेको छैन ।
04:05
But if you didn't make them happen,
it's your fault and no one else's.
79
233405
4211
तर त्यो पूर्ण भएन भने, गल्ति केवल
तपाईंको हो, अरु कसैको होइन ।
04:09
Be responsible for your dreams.
80
237616
1975
आफ्नो सपनाप्रति जिम्मेवार हुनुहोस ।
04:12
And one last tip, and this one is
really important as well:
81
240891
4359
र अन्तिम सुझाव छ, यो पनि
उत्तिकै महत्वपूर्ण छ:
04:18
Believe that the only things that matter
are the dreams themselves.
82
246160
4995
याद राख्नुस, महत्वपूर्ण वस्तु भनेको
स्वयम् सपना नै हो ।
04:23
Once I saw an ad,
and it was a lot of friends,
83
251155
2971
एकपटक मैंले एउटा बिज्ञापन देखेको थिएँ
04:26
they were going up a mountain,
it was a very high mountain,
84
254126
3065
धेरै साथीहरु मिलेर अग्लो हिमाल
चढ्न जाँदै थिए,
04:29
and it was a lot of work.
85
257191
1291
काम निकै कठिन थियो ।
04:30
You could see that they
were sweating and this was tough.
86
258482
3114
पसिनाले भिजेर र थाकेर लखन्तरान परेका थिए ।
04:33
And they were going up,
and they finally made it to the peak.
87
261596
3126
उनीहरु उक्लिदै गए, र चुचुरोमा पुग्न
सफल भए
04:36
Of course, they decided
to celebrate, right?
88
264722
2187
उनीहरु खुशीले रमाउन थाले,
04:38
I'm going to celebrate, so,
89
266909
1366
सफलता मनाउन थाले ।
04:40
"Yes! We made it, we're at the top!"
90
268275
2504
"हामी चुचुरोमा पुगेरै छाड्यौं" ।
04:42
Two seconds later, one looks
at the other and says,
91
270779
2909
केहि बेर पछि एउटाले अर्कोको
मुखमा हेरेर भन्यो -
04:45
"Okay, let's go down."
92
273688
2017
"ल पुग्यो अब, ओर्लन थालौं" ।
04:47
(Laughter)
93
275705
1160
-----(हाँसो)-----
04:48
Life is never about the goals themselves.
94
276865
2460
लक्ष्य प्राप्ति मात्रै जिन्दगी होइन
04:51
Life is about the journey.
95
279325
2791
जिन्दगी एउटा यात्रा हो ।
04:54
Yes, you should enjoy
the goals themselves,
96
282116
2261
हामीले लक्ष्यप्राप्ति गर्दा रमाउनु पर्छ
04:56
but people think that you have dreams,
97
284377
2946
मानिसहरु सोच्नेछन्, तपाइको सपनाहरु छन्,
04:59
and whenever you get to reaching
one of those dreams,
98
287323
2538
जहिले पनि लक्ष्यप्राप्तिको नजिक
त्यहाँ पुग्नुहुन्छ,
05:01
it's a magical place where
happiness will be all around.
99
289861
3859
यो त्यस्तो जादुमय ठाउं हो, जहाँ जताततै
खुशी छरिएको हुन्छ ।
05:05
But achieving a dream
is a momentary sensation,
100
293720
3231
लक्ष्य प्राप्ति एउटा पलमात्र हो,
05:08
and your life is not.
101
296951
2444
तर जीवन त्यति मात्रै होइन ।
05:11
The only way to really achieve
all of your dreams
102
299395
3322
सबै सपना पुरा गर्ने एउटा
मात्र तरिका हो -
05:14
is to fully enjoy every step
of your journey.
103
302717
3402
यात्राका हरेक पाइलाको मज्जा लिनुहोस् ।
05:18
That's the best way.
104
306119
1394
यो नै उत्तम तरीका हो ।
05:19
And your journey is simple --
it's made of steps.
105
307513
2318
यात्रा सजह छ - प्रत्येक पाइला संगै
अगाडी बढ्छ ।
05:21
Some steps will be right on.
106
309831
2296
केहि पाइलाहरु सहि हुनेछन्
05:24
Sometimes you will trip.
107
312127
1981
कहिले कहिँ लड्न सक्छ ।
05:26
If it's right on, celebrate, because
some people wait a lot to celebrate.
108
314108
4891
ठिक बाटोमा हुनुहुन्छ भने, खुशी हुनुहोस्,
किनकि, कयौं खुशीहुने बहाना खोज्दैछन् ।
05:30
And if you tripped, turn that
into something to learn.
109
318999
3206
यदि लड्नुभयो भने, त्यसलाई एउटा
शिक्षाको रुपमा लिनुहोस ।
05:34
If every step becomes something
to learn or something to celebrate,
110
322205
5507
हरेक पाइला उत्सब वा सिकाईको अवसर
बन्छ भने,
05:39
you will for sure enjoy the journey.
111
327712
2549
पक्कै तपाईं जिन्दगीको यात्रामा
रमाउनुहुनेछ ।
05:42
So, five tips:
112
330261
1753
यसर्थ ५ तरीका :
05:44
Believe in overnight success,
113
332014
2118
रातारात प्राप्त हुने सफलतामा बिश्वास,
05:46
believe someone else
has the answers for you,
114
334132
2618
अरु कोहि संग जवाफ हुनेकुरामा बिश्वास,
05:48
believe that when growth is guaranteed,
you should settle down,
115
336750
3126
उन्नतिको सम्भावना प्रस्ट छ भने,
आनन्दले बस्नु,
05:51
believe the fault is someone else's,
116
339876
2328
गल्तिजति सबै अरुको,
05:54
and believe that only
the goals themselves matter.
117
342204
3418
महत्वपूर्ण वस्तु भनेको
स्वयम् सपना नै हो ।
05:57
Believe me, if you do that,
you will destroy your dreams.
118
345622
2932
बिश्वास गर्नुहोस, यति गरेर आफ्नो
सपना नस्टगर्न सक्नुहुन्छ ।
06:00
(Laughter)
119
348554
997
-----(हाँसो)-----
06:01
(Applause)
