Facing and overcoming adversity is indeed
One of your biggest advantages.
You have to be open to take some risks
And not fear of failure.
I want you all to stay true that most real,
Pure, most authentic parts of yourselves.
– She is an American lawyer, writer,
And the First Lady of the United States.
She is married to 44 President of the United States,
Barack Obama, was the first African American first lady.
Fashion has become a symbol, role model for women,
Advocacy and poverty awareness.
It’s Michelle Obama
Here’s my take on her top 10 rules for success.
As usual, you can also see if there is something to say
That you really, really love
Leave it in the comments below,
Place quotes around it as well
So that others can be an inspiration as well.
– Some of you were homeless.
Some of you might risk your families’ refusal
To pursue private education.
Many of you are awake at night
I wonder how on earth they were going to
Support your parents and children
The tuition fee is still paid.
Many of you know something like
To live month not only for a month
Or day to day, but meal to meal.
But graduates, let me tell you you should never,
Ever to be embarrassed by those conflicts.
Your challenges should never be presented as a disadvantage.
Instead, it is important that you understand
That your experience is facing and overcoming adversity
Is actually one of your biggest advantages
I know that I saw it myself
Not only as a student working my way through school
But after years when I was becam–
After that ca–
Before I come to the White House
Dean worked in college.
In this role, the students encountered
Which was all the advantage.
Parents pay full tuition.
They lived in beautiful campuses on campus.
They had every possession of college child material you could want.
Cars and computers and spending money.
But when some of them got first grade bad, and
It just collapsed.
And lost because it was poorly equipped
To deal with the first encounter with disappointment
Or default.
But graduates, as you all know,
Life will put many obstacles in your way
Which is much worse than a bad score.
Your leaders will be unreasonable
Customers are difficult and sick.
You can experience diseases and losses,
Crises and setbacks will come from nowhere
Taking off your feet,
But unlike many other young people,
You’ve already developed steadfastness
The maturity that you need to choose yourself
Dust yourself off and continue to move through the pain.
(Cheers) Follow the path forward.
After that, I have always felt a deep sense of commitment
To make the greatest impact possible
With this incredible program,
So I took on issues that were personal to me.
Issues such as helping families raise children healthier,
Honoring the incredible military families
I have met her in the election campaign,
Inspire our youth to evaluate their education
And completion of college.
(acclaim)
Now, some people criticize my choices
Because they are not bold enough,
But these were my choices, my issues,
And decided to address them
In this way I felt more authentic to me,
In this way it was both objective
The strategy, but also fun and inspiring hope
So I immersed myself in the details of politics.
I worked with Congress on legislation,
Presented letters to the Chief Executive Officer, Army Generals,
Hollywood executives,
But I also worked to make sure that my efforts
Will resonate with children and families
That means doing something in creativity
The method is unconventional.
So yes, I planted a garden
The Hula is encircled on the White House garden with kids.
I did some dancing mom on TV.
The army celebrated the kids with Kermit the frog.
I asked people all over the country
To wear them for mater mater for the shirts for the college signature day.
At the end of the day,
By staying true to me I’ve always known
I found that this trip was incredibly free
Because it does not matter what happened,
I had the peace of mind to know
That all of the chatter, the name of the call,
Doubt, it was all just a noise.
(Cheers) it did not specify me.
It was not a change from me.
And most importantly, can not hold me again.
(Cheers) I learned
Which as long as I appreciate fast for my beliefs and values
He continued my own moral compass,
From expectations I just need to live up to my level.
graduates– that
You see, both Barak and I were raised by families
Who did not have much in the way of money
Or physical property, but who had given us something
Much more valuable.
Their unconditional love.
Their sacrifices are unshakeable
And an opportunity to go places
They did not imagine for themselves.
My father was a pump worker at the city water station
He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis
When my brother was a young man
Even when I was a kid, I knew there were a lot of days
When I was in pain I knew there was a lot of morning
When he was struggling for him just to get out of bed,
But every morning I watched my father wake up with a smile,
As you know, grab him a walker, support himself against
Bathroom sink and slowly shave and button the military uniform
When he returned home after a long working day, the
That my brother and I stand at the top of the stairs
We have a small apartment patiently waiting to greet him,
Also watch the hook up to lift one leg
Then on the other hand to slowly climb his way to our weapons
But despite these challenges,
My father rarely missed a day of work.
He and my mother are determined to give me
And my brother this kind of education
They can only dream.
– What was the best advice I received
From your teacher or professor?
– Oh, I’ve got a lot of great advice from teachers,
Mentors and professors over the years.
So, first of all, you’ll be open to taking some risks
And not fear of failure.
Failure is the key to success
So when you get to college, you have to lift your hand.
You have to be involved.
Do not be thinking baby, okay,
I should not be here and maybe I’m not smart enough
Perhaps, you know, no.
You are more than able to go to college,
To be successful and continuous,
Do whatever you want in life.
I’m sitting here because I’m all for you.
There is no difference between me and you.
The working-class child grows up on the south side of Chicago,
Growing up with doubts
And fears just like all of you do about.
I know exactly how you all feel
And the kids out there who think
Maybe I’m not ready.
Maybe I’m not good enough.
Maybe I can not afford it.
But what teachers and mentors told me
However, yes you can, and you should.
What gets in there, be bold with your intelligence.
Raise your hand.
Get support when you need it and know that we all got here
Because we helped someone.
I want you all to stay true that most real,
Pure, most authentic parts of yourselves.
I want you to ask these basic questions.
Who do you want to be?
What inspires you?
How would you like to give back?
Then I want you to take a deep breath
Trust yourself to draw your own path
And make your mark on the world.
It may seem like you’re supposed to go to law school,
But what you really want to do is teach young people.
Maybe your parents expect you to come home
after graduation,
But you’re feeling pulling to travel the world.
I want you to listen to those thoughts.
I want you to work with both your mind, but also your heart.
No matter which path you choose,
I want you to make sure it’s yours to choose
Not someone else.
Taught us dignity and decency,
How hard you work things out more
From the amount you do,
Helping others means more
Just get yourself ahead of.
(Applause audience) taught us honesty
Integrity,
What matters in fact,
That you do not take abbreviations
Or play through a set of your rules.
(acclaim)
Success does not count
Unless you earn a fair and square.
– Do you feel like,
I’m sure you did not feel,
Pressure to be the first African woman first to,
There is some kind of responsibility or …
– Well, one of the things I know of sitting
In this position all the first lady
Feel some level of pressure.
I mean, this is a great platform
And you do not want to ruin it.
So I would not dare compare my experience
To any previous first lady,
But I do not take the role seriously.
I do, as I said in the letters of the Convention,
I know that children are watching us
And watch what we say,
What we do, and Barak have tried
To make sure that what the kids are seeing
Is something you can be proud of
Because it matters.
– You get advice from around the world, it seems.
Former British prime minister
Tony Blair’s wife, Cherie Blair.
Do you happen to hear or read what she said?
– No.
– Barbara Well, she warns that you’ll have to learn
To take a seat back and you will not be able to
You have any kind of profession
She says that would be a very difficult thing to do.
– Yes, I think it only depends on the person.
I have never been kind
Who defines myself as a career or a job.
I just never.
People used to ask me that
During the election campaign.
It is hard for you to step off the track
And dedicate your life to his dream?
But the truth is that I think
In this man is our boss
And his vision of the country
That means, you know,
Step away from my specific job
For a year and a half or for four or eight years
If you do what you’re supposed to do,
Then, you know, this is a small sacrifice to make.
– And is it enough to keep you fulfilling?
– Oh, well I’ve got these very big children.
I mean, the truth is,
And Barak knows this about me.
I love children, I love my kids
This does not mean anyone who does not work,
But I enjoy the balance of getting a job
A set of projects
And be able to get times
To make sure that I am in the girls’ lives
And make sure we have time as a family.
I mean, this is a complete board.
I do not see myself as being in a position
Where I twiddling my thumbs
I wonder how I’ll do through getting on.
(Laughs) I’ve never seen it in my life.
We play a long game here
This change is constant
Change is slow and did not happen every time,
But in the end we get there.
We always do.
We get there because of people like my parents,
People like the grandmother of Barak.
Men and women who said to themselves,
I may not have a chance to achieve my dreams,
But maybe my kids will.
Maybe it will be my grandchildren.
You see, a lot of us stand here tonight
Because of their sacrifice
Longing and steadfast love
Because again and again they swallowed their fears
The doubts were done and what was hard.

(Exciting music)
– Let me tell you, you should feel proud
Make it for today
I hope you are excited to get started
That next chapter, but I also imagine
I think you have all about that history,
All these heroes before you
You may also feel a little pressure, you know.
Pressure to live up to the legacy of those
Who are before you.
Pressure to meet the expectations of others.
Believe me, I understand this kind of pressure.
(Audience laughs)
I’ve seen a little of it myself.
(Audience applause)
See graduates, I did not start
As the entire First Lady formed who stands before you today.
No, no, I had my share of bumps along the way.
Back when my husband first started
Campaign for president,
People had all sorts of questions to me.
What kind of first lady would I be?
What kinds of issues should I take on?
I would like to be more like Laura Bush or Hillary Clinton
Or Nancy Reagan?
The truth is those same questions
The husband could have been exposed to any candidate.
This is just a practical way of doing business.
But as likely to be the first African-American first lady,
I was also the focus of another set of questions
Speculation, conversations are sometimes rooted
In the fears and misunderstandings of others.
I was too loud or angry or testicular too?
(Applause audience) or you are so soft?
Lots of Mom?
Not enough career woman?
Then there was the first time you were on the cover of a magazine.
He had to draw a cartoon of me
With a large Afro and a submachine gun.
Now yeah, it was satire but if I’m being really honest
That knocked me back a bit.
Make me wonder, well, just how do people see me?
Or you may remember on stage a ceremonial fist bump
Between me and my husband after the first win
Which was referred to as a terrorist strike.
Over the years, people have used a lot
Interesting words to describe me.
One said I objected a bit of cocky-ISM.
Another pointed out that I was one
My husband is close to color.
The news cable referred to fascinated for me Mama Obama child.
Of course, Barak suffered his fair share
Of curses and insults.
Even today there are still people
Questioning his nationality.
And all these used to get really for me.
In those days, I had a lot of sleepless nights
Concern about what people think me,
I wonder if I might be harming my husband’s chances
Winning his election,
Fearing how my daughters feel
If they discover what some people have
They were saying about their mother,
But in the end I realized that if I wanted
To maintain my mental integrity and do not let others set me apart,
There was only one thing I could do
We had faith in God’s plan for me.
(acclaim)
I had to ignore all of the noise
And be faithful to myself and that the rest of the work itself.
– Because we know how difficult your husband’s job is.
What are the difficulties of being the first lady?
– You know, I find it really hard,
In the face of what is going on through
What I see happens to people when they are struggling,
For me to even start to complain.
I have the best job because I do not
They have to make difficult decisions.
The issues that I choose are those
I feel excited about.
I get to pick and choose what I do
That’s why, you know, I like what I do.
I get to spend time in this country
Travel around, meeting–
you see me.
I jump rope and loop hula.
(Audience laughs)
– [Barak] is true.
– So it’s hard for me to find out, you know,
How, you know, what a struggle is that not even answer that
With his laugh.
As you know, one of the things that you always have,
I say my recipient, I say my daughters,
But we have the first job in life as women, I think,
Is to get to know ourselves
I think a lot of times we do not do it (laughs).
We spend our time satisfying, satisfying,
Looking at the world to determine who we are,
Listen to messages, photos,
Limited definitions people have who we are
This is true for women with colored skin, for sure.
There is a limited box that we have put in
If we live before a limited definition,
We miss out on a lot of us
But it takes taking the time to know who you are
To be able to handle an attack
Negative messages that you are bound to get.
For me, I came to this
With a very clear sense of myself
Some that come with age,
Some that come with experience,
Some that come from being a sufficient wealth
Has been raised by loving mother,
Strong and focused, and the father who loved me so much
So I came happily in this case
With a really clear sense of who I am. Translation (Rafaa Tai)
