Transcript

Let's go! The world is changing faster than ever. De wereld verandert sneller dan ooit. Now is a good time to rethink assumptions about the inability to change the world. Dit is een goed moment om de aannames over het onvermogen om de wereld te veranderen te heroverwegen. Before criticizing the world, I make my own bed. Voordat ik de wereld bekritiseer, maak ik mijn eigen bed op. The world needs enthusiasm. De wereld heeft enthousiasme nodig. Anybody that loves anything is cool.

Iedereen die van iets houdt, is cool. Optimists tend to be successful and pessimists tend to be right. Optimisten hebben de neiging succesvol te zijn en pessimisten hebben meestal gelijk. As people experience fewer problems, we don't become more satisfied, we begin searching for new problems. Naarmate mensen minder problemen ervaren, worden we niet tevredener, maar gaan we op zoek naar nieuwe problemen. I have many flaws, like anybody, except perhaps a few more.

Ik heb veel gebreken, zoals iedereen, behalve misschien nog een paar. I love doing difficult things with other people who want to do difficult things. Ik hou ervan om moeilijke dingen te doen met andere mensen die moeilijke dingen willen doen. In life we must choose our regrets. In het leven moeten we onze spijt kiezen. You can have anything but you can't have everything. Je kunt alles hebben, maar je kunt niet alles hebben. People who focus on what they want rarely get what they want.

Mensen die zich concentreren op wat ze willen, krijgen zelden wat ze willen. People who focus on what they have to offer get what they want. Mensen die zich concentreren op wat ze te bieden hebben, krijgen wat ze willen. If you make beautiful choices, you are beautiful. Als je mooie keuzes maakt, ben je mooi. You don't truly know what you think until you write it down. Je weet pas echt wat je denkt als je het opschrijft. Only that which is measured can be optimized.

Alleen datgene wat gemeten wordt, kan geoptimaliseerd worden. When a measure becomes an outcome it ceases to be a good measure. Wanneer een maatregel een uitkomst wordt, is hij niet langer een goede maatregel. If you don't know where you're going, it doesn't matter which path you take. Als je niet weet waar je heen gaat, maakt het niet uit welk pad je neemt. Consistency doesn't guarantee you will be successful. But inconsistency will guarantee that you won't be successful.

Consistentie garandeert niet dat u succesvol zult zijn. Maar inconsistentie garandeert dat u geen succes zult hebben. Sometimes the demand for answers outstrips the supply. Soms overtreft de vraag naar antwoorden het aanbod. Sometimes things happen without anyone involved wanting it to. Soms gebeuren er dingen zonder dat iemand het wil. A friend invites you to a wedding, despite not wanting you there, because he thinks you want to attend.

Een vriend nodigt je uit voor een bruiloft, ook al wil hij je daar niet, omdat hij denkt dat je erbij wilt zijn. You attend the wedding, despite not wanting to, because you think he wants you there. Je gaat naar de bruiloft, ook al wil je dat niet, omdat je denkt dat hij je daar wil hebben. One sentence that everyone should believe about themselves. I'm enough. Eén zin die iedereen over zichzelf zou moeten geloven. Ik heb genoeg. I love aging and dying. Ik hou van ouder worden en doodgaan.
