“There is no boy, at this age, cute enough or interesting enough to stop you from getting your education. If I had worried about who liked me and who thought I was cute when I was your age, I wouldn’t be married to the President of the United States."
「沒有一位在這年紀的男孩夠可愛或者有趣,足以令你不再接受教育。如果我在你這年紀就憂慮誰人會喜歡我,誰人會覺得我可愛,我就不會成美國總統夫人。」Michelle Obama在紐約 Harlem 會堂向一群少女演講,題目是“The power of an educated girl”。
“You don’t want to look back when you’re 60 and regret that you just didn’t have the patience to push through these four years of mess.”
「你們不會希望在 60 歲時回望時,自己沒耐性完成4年難搞的生活。」
“Now you invest. Now you put up with. Now you be patient. Because if you don’t do it now, then you’ll be living this cramped-up life for the rest of your life.”
