Dalam pembicaraan yang menggemparkan ini, dia membagikan pelajaran yang dia dapat dari kampanye gubernur Georgianya, beberapa nasehat tentang bagaimana mengubah dunia - dan beberapa petunjuk tentang langkah selanjutnya.

Ayah, ibu, dan saya berjalan

And as we walk single file along the side,

orang tua saya mengapit saya

02:07
bringing in the other valedictorians,
43
115161
1809
yang membawa para siswa lainnya,
02:08
we approach the guard gate.
44
116994
1849
lalu kami mendekat ke gerbang penjaga.
02:10
When we get to the guard gate,
the guard comes out.
the guard comes out.
45
118867
2392
Saat tiba di sana, penjaga keluar.
02:13
He looks at me,
and he looks at my parents,
and he looks at my parents,
46
121283
2870
Memandang saya dan orang tua saya,
02:16
and he says, "You don't belong here,
this is a private event."
this is a private event."
47
124177
3018
dan berkata "Anda tidak seharusnya
di sini, ini acara tertutup"
di sini, ini acara tertutup"
02:19
My dad says, "No, this is my daughter,
Stacey. She's one of the valedictorians."
Stacey. She's one of the valedictorians."
48
127839
3912
Ayah saya berkata, "Ini anak saya Stacey,
salah satu pembicara pidato kelulusan"

02:24
But the guard doesn't look
at the checklist that's in his hands.
at the checklist that's in his hands.
49
132109
3167
Tetapi penjaga tersebut tidak memeriksa
daftar hadir di tangannya.
daftar hadir di tangannya.
02:27
He doesn't ask my mom for the invitation
50
135300
1936
Dia tidak meminta undangan ibu saya
02:29
that's at the bottom
of her very voluminous purse.
of her very voluminous purse.
51
137260
2540
yang terlihat di bawah dompet tebalnya.
02:32
Instead, he looks
over our shoulder at the bus,
over our shoulder at the bus,
52
140228
2389
Dia melihat bus di belakang kami,
02:34
because in his mind, the bus is telling
him a story about who should be there.
him a story about who should be there.
53
142641
4081
karena dia pikir bus tersebut
menggambarkan penumpangnya.
menggambarkan penumpangnya.
02:39
And the fact that we were too poor
to have our own car --
to have our own car --
54
147300
3356
Fakta bahwa kami terlalu miskin untuk
memiliki mobil--
memiliki mobil--
02:42
that was a story he told himself.
55
150680
2357
dalam pikirannya.
02:45
And he may have seen
something in my skin color,
something in my skin color,
56
153061
2262
Dia juga menilai dari warna kulit kami,
02:47
he may have seen something in my attire;
57
155347
1921
dia menilai pakaian saya;
02:49
I don't know what went through his mind.
58
157292
1928
saya tidak mengerti apa pikirannya.
02:51
But his conclusion was
to look at me again,
to look at me again,
59
159244
2498
Namun dia memutuskan untuk
memandang saya lagi,
memandang saya lagi,
02:53
and with a look of disdain, say,
60
161766
1591
dengan tatapan jijik, berkata,
02:55
"I told you, this is a private event.
You don't belong here."
You don't belong here."
61
163381
3434
"Sudah saya katakan, ini acara tertutup.
Anda tidak seharusnya di sini"
Anda tidak seharusnya di sini"
02:59
Now, my parents were studying to become
United Methodist ministers,
United Methodist ministers,
62
167355
3232
Orang tua saya sedang belajar untuk
menjadi pendeta gereja Metodis,
menjadi pendeta gereja Metodis,
03:02
but they were not pastors yet.
63
170611
2016
tetapi mereka belum menjadi pendeta.
03:04
(Laughter)
64
172651
2365
(Tertawa)
03:07
And so they proceeded
to engage this gentleman
to engage this gentleman
65
175040
2984
Mereka berlanjut untuk melawan pria ini
03:10
in a very robust discussion
of his decision-making skills.
of his decision-making skills.
66
178048
2948
dalam perdebatan kuat dengan
kelihaian pengambilan keputusan.
kelihaian pengambilan keputusan.
03:13
(Laughter)
67
181020
1361
(Tertawa)
03:14
My father may have mentioned
68
182405
1437
Ayah saya mungkin bersumpah
03:15
that he was going to spend eternity
in a very fiery place
in a very fiery place
69
183866
2698
dia akan masuk neraka
03:18
if he didn't find my name
on that checklist.
on that checklist.
70
186588
2182
jika tidak ada nama saya di daftar hadir.
03:21
And indeed, the man checks
the checklist eventually,
the checklist eventually,
71
189215
2715
Dan akhirnya pria itu memeriksanya,
03:23
and he found my name,
and he let us inside.
and he let us inside.
72
191954
2322
dia melihat nama saya, dan membiarkan
kami masuk.
kami masuk.
03:26
But I don't remember meeting
the governor of Georgia.
the governor of Georgia.
73
194927
2584
Saya tidak ingat bertemu dengan Gubernur
03:30
I don't recall meeting
my fellow valedictorians
my fellow valedictorians
74
198006
2627
ataupun dengan rekan-rekan
pembaca pidato lainnya
pembaca pidato lainnya
03:32
from 180 school districts.
75
200657
1896
dari 180 sekolah.
03:34
The only clear memory I have of that day
76
202577
2140
Kenangan yang melekat bagi saya saat itu
03:36
was a man standing in front
of the most powerful place in Georgia,
of the most powerful place in Georgia,
77
204741
3138
adalah pria yang berdiri di depan
tempat terkuat di Georgia
tempat terkuat di Georgia
03:39
looking at me and telling me
I don't belong.
I don't belong.
78
207903
3000
memandang saya dan berkata
jika saya tidak pantas.
jika saya tidak pantas.
03:43
And so I decided, 20-some-odd years later,
79
211776
3325
Jadi saya berjanji, 20 tahunan kemudian,
03:47
to be the person
who got to open the gates.
who got to open the gates.
80
215125
2444
untuk menjadi orang yang membuka gerbang.
03:50
(Cheers)
81
218085
3515
(Bersorak)
03:53
(Applause)
82
221624
3908
(Tepuk tangan)
03:59
Unfortunately, you may have read
the rest of the story.
the rest of the story.
83
227140
2643
Sayangnya, Anda pasti sudah
menebak sisa ceritanya.
menebak sisa ceritanya.
04:01
It didn't quite work out that way.
84
229807
1737
Itu tidak berhasil seperti itu.
04:03
And now I'm tasked with figuring out:
How do I move forward?
How do I move forward?
85
231568
3761
Dan saat ini saya ditugaskan mencari tahu:
Bagaimana saya bergerak maju?
Bagaimana saya bergerak maju?
04:07
Because, you see, I didn't just want
to open the gates for young black women
to open the gates for young black women
86
235953
3590
Karena saya tidak hanya ingin membuka
gerbang bagi wanita muda kulit hitam
gerbang bagi wanita muda kulit hitam
04:11
who had been underestimated
and told they don't belong.
and told they don't belong.
87
239567
2783
yang diremehkan dan dicap tidak pantas.
04:14
I wanted to open those gates
for Latinas and for Asian Americans.
for Latinas and for Asian Americans.
88
242374
3989
Saya ingin membuka gerbang bagi
orang-orang Latina dan Asia-Amerika.
orang-orang Latina dan Asia-Amerika.
04:18
I wanted to open those gates
for the undocumented and the documented.
for the undocumented and the documented.
89
246387
4109
Saya ingin membuka gerbang bagi
imigran legal dan tidak legal.
imigran legal dan tidak legal.
04:22
I wanted to open those gates
as an ally of the LGBTQ community.
as an ally of the LGBTQ community.
90
250520
3417
Saya ingin membuka gerbang sebagai
bentuk dukungan untuk LGBTQ.
bentuk dukungan untuk LGBTQ.
04:25
I wanted to open those gates
91
253961
1353
Saya ingin membuka gerbang
04:27
for the families that have to call
themselves the victims of gun violence.
themselves the victims of gun violence.
92
255338
3517
bagi keluarga yang menjadi
korban kekerasan senjata.
korban kekerasan senjata.
04:30
I wanted to open those gates wide
for everyone in Georgia,
for everyone in Georgia,
93
258879
2770
Saya ingin membukanya lebar
bagi siapa saja di Georgia,
bagi siapa saja di Georgia,
04:33
because that is our state,
and this is our nation,
and this is our nation,
94
261673
2362
karena ini negara kita, ini bangsa kita,
04:36
and we all belong here.
95
264059
1533
dan kita semua layak disini.
04:38
(Cheers)
96
266085
2420
(Bersorak)
04:40
(Applause)
97
268529
3539
(Tepuk tangan)
04:46
But what I recognized
is that the first try wasn't enough.
is that the first try wasn't enough.
98
274006
4196
Namun apa yang saya pahami
adalah usaha awal tidaklah cukup.
adalah usaha awal tidaklah cukup.
04:50
And my question became:
How do I move forward?
How do I move forward?
99
278966
2540
Pertanyaan saya menjadi:
Bagaimana saya bergerak maju?
Bagaimana saya bergerak maju?
04:53
How do I get beyond the bitterness
and the sadness and the lethargy
and the sadness and the lethargy
100
281530
5611
Bagaimana saya mengatasi
kepahitan, kesedihan, kelesuan,
kepahitan, kesedihan, kelesuan,
04:59
and watching an inordinate amount
of television as I eat ice cream?
of television as I eat ice cream?
101
287165
4055
dan menonton televisi secara
marathon sambil makan es krim?
marathon sambil makan es krim?
05:03
(Laughter)
102
291244
1532
(Tertawa)
05:04
What do I do next?
103
292800
1713
Apa yang saya lakukan selanjutnya?
05:07
And I'm going to do what I've always done.
104
295498
2651
Dan saya akan melakukan apa
yang saya selalu lakukan.
yang saya selalu lakukan.
05:10
I'm going to move forward,
because going backwards isn't an option
because going backwards isn't an option
105
298173
3151
Saya akan bergerak maju karena
mundur bukan suatu pilihan
mundur bukan suatu pilihan
05:13
and standing still is not enough.
106
301348
1697
dan berdiam diri saja tidak cukup.
05:15
(Applause)
107
303673
4509
(Tepuk tangan)
05:20
You see, I began my race for governor
108
308206
3167
Anda lihat, saya mencalonkan
diri menjadi gubernur
diri menjadi gubernur
05:23
by analyzing who I was
and what I wanted to be.
and what I wanted to be.
109
311397
3196
dengan menganalisa siapa saya
dan apa yang saya inginkan.
dan apa yang saya inginkan.
05:26
And there are three questions
I ask myself about everything I do,
I ask myself about everything I do,
110
314617
3079
Tiga pertanyaan yang saya tanyakan
terhadap apa yang saya lakukan
terhadap apa yang saya lakukan
05:29
whether it's running for office
or starting a business;
or starting a business;
111
317720
2595
apakah mencalonkan diri
atau memulai bisnis;
atau memulai bisnis;
05:32
when I decided to start
the New Georgia Project

112
320339
2214
ketika saya memulai Proyek Georgia Baru
05:34
to register people to vote;
113
322577
1341
mendaftarkan para pemilih;
05:35
or when I started the latest action,
Fair Fight Georgia.
Fair Fight Georgia.
114
323942
3349
atau ketika saya memulai aksi
terbaru, Fair Fight Georgia.
terbaru, Fair Fight Georgia.
05:39
No matter what I do,
I ask myself three questions:
I ask myself three questions:
115
327315
2717
Apapun yang saya lakukan, saya
selalu menanyakan tiga hal:
selalu menanyakan tiga hal:
05:42
What do I want?
116
330056
1277
Apa yang saya inginkan?
05:43
Why do I want it?
117
331357
1668
Kenapa saya menginginkannya?
05:45
And how do I get it?
118
333049
1308
Bagaimana mendapatkannya?
05:47
And in this case, I know what I want.
119
335048
2522
Dalam hal ini, saya tahu apa
yang saya inginkan.
yang saya inginkan.
05:49
I want change.
120
337594
1769
Saya ingin perubahan.
05:51
That is what I want.
121
339387
1312
Itu yang saya inginkan.
05:52
But the question is:
122
340723
1542
Namun pertanyaannya,
05:55
What change do I want to see?
123
343109
1933
Perubahan apa yang saya inginkan?
05:57
And I know that the questions
I have to ask myself are:
I have to ask myself are:
124
345656
2669
Hal yang harus ditanyakan
pada diri saya sendiri adalah:
pada diri saya sendiri adalah:
06:00
One, am I honest about the scope
of my ambition?
of my ambition?
125
348349
2958
Satu, apakah saya jujur
tentang ambisi saya?
tentang ambisi saya?
06:03
Because it's easy to figure out
that once you didn't get what you wanted,
that once you didn't get what you wanted,
126
351744
3468
Karena mudah saja percaya saat Anda
tidak mendapatkan yang Anda inginkan,
tidak mendapatkan yang Anda inginkan,
06:07
then maybe you should
have set your sights a little lower,
have set your sights a little lower,
127
355236
2765
Anda berpikir untuk
menurunkan target Anda,
menurunkan target Anda,
06:10
but I'm here to tell you
to be aggressive about your ambition.
to be aggressive about your ambition.
128
358025
2948
namun saya memberitahu Anda
untuk agresif dengan ambisi Anda.
untuk agresif dengan ambisi Anda.
06:12
Do not allow setbacks to set you back.
129
360997
2509
Jangan biarkan kemunduran
membuat Anda kembali.
membuat Anda kembali.
06:15
(Applause)
130
363530
3518
(Tepuk tangan)
06:21
Number two, let yourself
understand your mistakes.
understand your mistakes.
131
369022
4277
Kedua, pahamilah kesalahan Anda.
06:25
But also understand their mistakes,
132
373323
2159
Dan juga pahami kesalahan orang lain,
06:27
because, as women in particular,
133
375506
1547
karena khususnya bagi wanita,
06:29
we're taught that if something
doesn't work out,
doesn't work out,
134
377077
2252
kita diajarkan ketika
sesuatu tidak berhasil,
sesuatu tidak berhasil,
06:31
it's probably our fault.
135
379353
1224
itu kesalahan kita.
06:32
And usually, there is something
we could do better,
we could do better,
136
380601
2397
Dan biasanya, saat kita
bisa melakukan lebih,
bisa melakukan lebih,
06:35
but we've been told
not to investigate too much
not to investigate too much
137
383022
2214
kita diajarkan tidak boleh
terlalu mencari tahu
terlalu mencari tahu
06:37
what the other side could have done.
138
385260
1738
apa yang dapat
dilakukan orang lain.
dilakukan orang lain.
06:39
And this isn't partisan -- it's people.
139
387022
1892
dan ini bukan pengikut--ini orang awam.
06:40
We're too often told
that our mistakes are ours alone,
that our mistakes are ours alone,
140
388938
2798
Terlalu sering dikatakan jika
kesalahan milik pribadi,
kesalahan milik pribadi,
06:43
but victory is a shared benefit.
141
391760
2133
dan kemenangan milik bersama.
06:46
And so what I tell you to do
is understand your mistakes,
is understand your mistakes,
142
394331
2755
Maka dari itu jangan hanya
memahami kesalahan Anda saja,
memahami kesalahan Anda saja,
06:49
but understand the mistakes of others.
143
397110
2110
tapi juga kesalahan orang lain.
06:51
And be clearheaded about it.
144
399608
1991
Terbukalah tentang hal itu.
06:53
And be honest with yourself
and honest with those who support you.
and honest with those who support you.
145
401623
3556
Jujurlah dengan diri sendiri dan dengan
orang-orang yang mendukung Anda.
orang-orang yang mendukung Anda.
06:58
But once you know what you want,
146
406108
2238
Setelah tahu apa yang Anda inginkan,
07:00
understand why you want it.
147
408370
1938
pahamilah alasan Anda menginginkannya.
07:02
And even though it feels good,
revenge is not a good reason.
revenge is not a good reason.
148
410647
3147
Meskipun itu baik, jangan samakan
dengan membalas dendam.
dengan membalas dendam.
07:05
(Laughter)
149
413818
2515
(Tertawa)
07:08
Instead, make sure you want it
150
416357
2077
Sebaliknya, pastikan Anda menginginkannya
07:10
because there's something
not that you should do,
not that you should do,
151
418458
3463
bukan karena ada hal yang harus dilakukan,
07:13
but something you must do.
152
421945
1976
tapi karena wajib dilakukan.
07:16
It has to be something
that doesn't allow you to sleep at night
that doesn't allow you to sleep at night
153
424383
3008
Sesuatu itu haruslah hal yang
membuat Anda terjaga saat malam,
membuat Anda terjaga saat malam,
07:19
unless you're dreaming about it;
154
427415
1532
kecuali Anda akan memimpikannya;
07:20
something that wakes you up in the morning
and gets you excited about it;
and gets you excited about it;
155
428971
3460
sesuatu yang membangunkan Anda
di pagi hari dan membuat Anda bersemangat;
di pagi hari dan membuat Anda bersemangat;
07:24
or something that makes you so angry,
156
432455
1840
atau sesuatu yang membuat Anda marah,
07:26
you know you have to do
something about it.
something about it.
157
434319
2548
Anda sadar harus melakukan
sesuatu pada hal tersebut.
sesuatu pada hal tersebut.
07:28
But know why you're doing it.
158
436891
2119
Tetapi ketahuilah alasan Anda melakukannya
07:31
And know why it must be done.
159
439034
2389
dan mengapa itu harus dilakukan.
07:34
You've listened to women
from across this world
from across this world
160
442074
3079
Anda telah mendengarkan
wanita di penjuru dunia
wanita di penjuru dunia
07:37
talk about why things have to happen.
161
445177
2573
berbicara bagaimana sesuatu harus terjadi
07:39
But figure out what the "why" is for you,
162
447774
2011
Tetapi menemukan "kenapa" itu terjadi,
07:41
because jumping from
the "what" to the "do"
the "what" to the "do"
163
449809
2989
Karena melompat dari "apa" ke "aksi"
07:44
is meaningless if you don't know why.
164
452822
2531
tak ada artinya jika tidak tahu kenapa.
07:47
Because when it gets hard,
when it gets tough,
when it gets tough,
165
455377
2803
Karena ketika itu semakin sulit,
ketika itu semakin susah,
ketika itu semakin susah,
07:50
when your friends walk away from you,
166
458204
2159
ketika teman-teman Anda pergi,
07:52
when your supporters forget you,
167
460387
2135
ketika pendukung Anda melupakan Anda,
07:54
when you don't win your first race --
168
462546
2610
ketika Anda tidak memenangkan
pencalonan pertama Anda--
pencalonan pertama Anda--
07:57
if you don't know why,
you can't try again.
you can't try again.
169
465180
2735
jika tidak tahu alasannya,
Anda tidak bisa mencoba lagi.
Anda tidak bisa mencoba lagi.
08:00
So, first know what you want.
170
468363
2040
Jadi, pertama ketahuilah apa yang Anda mau
08:02
Second, know why you want it,
171
470427
2023
Kedua, ketahui alasan Anda menginginkannya
08:04
but third, know how
you're going to get it done.
you're going to get it done.
172
472474
2357
tapi ketiga, ketahui cara
Anda menyelesaikannya.
Anda menyelesaikannya.
08:07
I faced a few obstacles in this race.
173
475323
2278
Saya menghadapi rintangan
dalam pemilihan ini.
dalam pemilihan ini.
08:09
(Laughter)
174
477625
1944
(Tertawa)
08:11
Just a few.
175
479593
1150
Hanya beberapa
08:13
But in the pursuit,
176
481090
1206
Tapi pada akhirnya,
08:14
I became the first black woman
to ever become the nominee for governor
to ever become the nominee for governor
177
482320
4213
Saya menjadi wanita kulit hitam
pertama yang menjadi calon gubernur
pertama yang menjadi calon gubernur
08:18
in the history of the United States
of America for a major party.
of America for a major party.
178
486557
3477
dalam sejarah Amerika Serikat
untuk sebuah partai besar.
untuk sebuah partai besar.
08:22
(Cheers)
179
490612
4005
(Bersorak)
08:26
(Applause)
180
494653
3990
(Tepuk tangan)
08:30
But more importantly, in this process,
181
498839
2619
Namun, hal terpenting
dalam proses ini adalah,
dalam proses ini adalah,
08:33
we turned out 1.2 million
African American voters in Georgia.
African American voters in Georgia.
182
501482
4262
kami mendapat 1,2 juta pemilih
Afrika Amerika di Georgia.
Afrika Amerika di Georgia.
08:37
That is more voters
183
505768
1223
Ada begitu banyak pemilih
08:39
than voted on the Democratic side
of the ticket in 2014.
of the ticket in 2014.
184
507015
3919
yang memilih sisi Demokratis di 2014
08:42
(Applause)
185
510958
4460
(Tepuk tangan)
08:47
Our campaign tripled the number of Latinos
186
515442
2524
Kampanye kami berlipat tiga
dari warga Latin
dari warga Latin
08:49
who believed their voices mattered
in the state of Georgia.
in the state of Georgia.
187
517990
2785
yang percaya suara
mereka penting bagi Georgia.
mereka penting bagi Georgia.
08:52
We tripled the number of Asian Americans
188
520799
1957
Kami melipat tigakan
jumlah Asia Amerika
jumlah Asia Amerika
08:54
who stood up and said,
"This is our state, too."
"This is our state, too."
189
522780
2646
yang berdiri dan berkata
"Ini negara kita juga"
"Ini negara kita juga"
08:57
Those are successes that tell me
how I can get it done.
how I can get it done.
190
525450
3825
Itu kesuksesan yang memberitahu saya
bagaimana itu bisa diselesaikan.
bagaimana itu bisa diselesaikan.
09:01
But they also let me understand
the obstacles aren't insurmountable.
the obstacles aren't insurmountable.
191
529299
3413
Tetapi itu juga membuat saya paham
jika rintangan tak dapat dihindari.
jika rintangan tak dapat dihindari.
09:04
They're just a little high.
192
532736
1595
Itu hanya terlalu tinggi.
09:07
But I also understand
193
535156
1563
Tapi saya juga memahami
09:08
that there are three things
that always hold us hostage.
that always hold us hostage.
194
536743
3384
bahwa ada tiga hal yang
selalu mengekang kita.
selalu mengekang kita.
09:12
The first is finances.
195
540649
2298
Pertama adalah keuangan.
09:15
Now, you may have heard,
I'm in a little bit of debt.
I'm in a little bit of debt.
196
543822
2620
Sekarang, Anda pasti mendengar
jika saya sedikit terlilit hutang.
jika saya sedikit terlilit hutang.
09:18
If you didn't hear about it,
you did not go outside.
you did not go outside.
197
546958
2659
Jika belum pernah mendengar,
Anda tidak pernah keluar.
Anda tidak pernah keluar.
09:21
(Laughter)
198
549641
1745
(Tertawa)
09:23
And finances are something
that holds us back so often,
that holds us back so often,
199
551712
2897
Dan keuangan adalah masalah
yang sering menghambat kita,
yang sering menghambat kita,
09:26
our dreams are bounded
by how much we have in resources.
by how much we have in resources.
200
554633
3800
impian kita dibatasi oleh seberapa
banyak sumber daya yang kita miliki.
banyak sumber daya yang kita miliki.
09:30
But we hear again and again
201
558822
1350
Tapi kita sering mendengar
09:32
the stories of those who overcome
those resource challenges.
those resource challenges.
202
560196
4057
cerita-cerita dari mereka yang
mengatasi hambatan sumber daya itu.
mengatasi hambatan sumber daya itu.
09:36
But you can't overcome
something you don't talk about.
something you don't talk about.
203
564744
2786
Tapi Anda sulit mengatasi
sesuatu yang tidak Anda tahu.
sesuatu yang tidak Anda tahu.
09:39
And that's why I didn't allow them
to debt-shame me in my campaign.
to debt-shame me in my campaign.
204
567554
3616
Dan itu mengapa saya tidak mau untuk
mempermalukan utang saya dalam kampanye.
mempermalukan utang saya dalam kampanye.
09:43
I didn't allow anyone to tell me
that my lack of opportunity
that my lack of opportunity
205
571569
4270
Saya tidak mengizinkan siapapun untuk
berkata jika kurangnya kesempatan
berkata jika kurangnya kesempatan
09:47
was a reason to disqualify
me from running.
me from running.
206
575863
2254
merupakan alasan saya
untuk berhenti mengejar.
untuk berhenti mengejar.
09:50
And believe me, people tried
to tell me I shouldn't run.
to tell me I shouldn't run.
207
578141
2762
Dan percayalah, masyarakat
menyuruh untuk tidak mengejar.
menyuruh untuk tidak mengejar.
09:52
Friends told me not to run.
208
580927
1857
Teman-teman melarang
saya mencalonkan.
saya mencalonkan.
09:54
Allies told me not to run.
209
582808
1779
Sekutu menyuruh
saya tidak mencalonkan
saya tidak mencalonkan
09:56
"USA Today" mentioned
maybe I shouldn't run.
maybe I shouldn't run.
210
584899
2881
'USA TODAY' menyebutkan
seharusnya saya tidak mencalonkan.
seharusnya saya tidak mencalonkan.
09:59
(Laughter)
211
587804
1222
(Tertawa)
10:01
But no matter who it was,
212
589050
1287
Tapi tak peduli siapa itu,
10:02
I understood that finances are often
a reason we don't let ourselves dream.
a reason we don't let ourselves dream.
213
590361
4743
Saya memahami jika keuangan seringkali
menjadi alasan kita berhenti bermimpi.
menjadi alasan kita berhenti bermimpi.
10:07
I can't say that you will always
overcome those obstacles,
overcome those obstacles,
214
595759
2811
Saya tidak berkata Anda akan
selalu mengatasi hambatan itu,
selalu mengatasi hambatan itu,
10:10
but I will tell you,
you will be damned if you do not try.
you will be damned if you do not try.
215
598594
3100
tetapi saya akan berkata, Anda
akan menyesal jika tidak mencoba.
akan menyesal jika tidak mencoba.
10:14
(Applause)
216
602482
5109
(Tepuk tangan)
10:19
The second is fear.
217
607615
1873
Kedua adalah ketakutan.
10:21
And fear is real.
218
609512
1334
Dan itu sesuatu yang nyata.
10:23
It is paralyzing.
219
611267
1458
Itu melumpuhkan.
10:24
It is terrifying.
220
612749
1233
Itu menakutkan.
10:26
But it can also be energizing,
221
614433
2000
Tapi juga dapat memberi energi,
10:28
because once you know
what you're afraid of,
what you're afraid of,
222
616919
2109
karena setelah Anda tahu
apa yang Anda takuti
apa yang Anda takuti
10:31
you can figure out how to get around it.
223
619052
2327
Anda dapat mencari
cara untuk mengatasinya.
cara untuk mengatasinya.
10:33
And the third is fatigue.
224
621403
1666
Dan ketiga adalah rasa lelah.
10:35
Sometimes you just get tired of trying.
225
623942
2767
Terkadang Anda lelah untuk mencoba.
10:39
You get tired of reading
about processes and politics
about processes and politics
226
627314
3831
Anda lelah membaca proses dan politik.
10:43
and the things that stop you
from getting where you want to be.
from getting where you want to be.
227
631169
3049
dan hal-hal yang menghentikan Anda
memperoleh apa yang Anda mau.
memperoleh apa yang Anda mau.
10:46
Sometimes, fatigue means that we accept
position instead of power.
position instead of power.
228
634774
4642
Terkadang rasa lelah menandakan kita
menerima kedudukan dari pada kekuatan.
menerima kedudukan dari pada kekuatan.
10:51
We let someone give us a title
as a consolation prize,
as a consolation prize,
229
639440
2992
Kita membiarkan seseorang memberi
gelar sebagai hadiah hiburan,
gelar sebagai hadiah hiburan,
10:54
rather than realizing we know what we want
and we're going to get it,
and we're going to get it,
230
642456
3261
daripada menyadari kita tahu apa
yang kita mau dan akan dapatkan,
yang kita mau dan akan dapatkan,
10:57
even if we're tired.
231
645741
1158
bahkan jika kita lelah.
10:58
That's why God created naps.
232
646923
1699
Itulah kenapa
tercipta tidur siang.
tercipta tidur siang.
11:00
(Laughter)
233
648646
2162
(Tertawa)
11:03
But we also learn in those moments
234
651472
2357
Tapi kita juga belajar
dari saat-saat tersebut
dari saat-saat tersebut
11:05
that fatigue is an opportunity
to evaluate how much we want it.
to evaluate how much we want it.
235
653853
4993
bahwa rasa lelah adalah kesempatan untuk
mengoreksi seberapa yang kita inginkan.
mengoreksi seberapa yang kita inginkan.
11:11
Because if you are beaten down,
236
659641
2555
Karena jika Anda terkalahkan,
11:14
if you have worked as hard as you can,
237
662220
2730
jika Anda telah bekerja
sekeras yang Anda bisa,
sekeras yang Anda bisa,
11:16
if you have done everything
you said you should,
you said you should,
238
664974
2715
jika Anda telah melakukan apa
yang Anda yakin Anda harus,
yang Anda yakin Anda harus,
11:19
and it still doesn't work out,
239
667713
1573
dan semua masih
tidak berhasil,
tidak berhasil,
11:21
fatigue can sap you of your energy.
240
669310
2588
rasa lelah dapat
menguras energi Anda.
menguras energi Anda.
11:24
But that's why you go back
to the "why" of it.
to the "why" of it.
241
672863
2440
Itu mengapa Anda harus
memikirkan "kenapa" itu.
memikirkan "kenapa" itu.
11:28
Because I know we have to have women
who speak for the voiceless.
who speak for the voiceless.
242
676156
3290
Karena saya tahu kita butuh wanita
berbicara bagi yang tak bersuara.
berbicara bagi yang tak bersuara.
11:32
I know we have to have people
of good conscience
of good conscience
243
680113
2365
Saya tahu harus ada
orang dengan nurani baik
orang dengan nurani baik
11:34
who stand up against oppression.
244
682502
1957
yang berjuang melawan penindasan.
11:36
I know we have to have people
245
684938
1746
Saya tahu kita harus
memiliki orang
memiliki orang
11:38
who understand that social justice
belongs to us all.
belongs to us all.
246
686708
3325
yang memahami bahwa
keadilan sosial milik kita semua.
keadilan sosial milik kita semua.
11:42
And that wakes me up every morning,
247
690423
1977
Dan yang membangunkan saya setiap pagi,
11:44
and that makes me fight even harder.
248
692424
1807
yang membuat saya
berjuang lebih keras.
berjuang lebih keras.
11:46
Because I am moving forward,
knowing what is in my past.
knowing what is in my past.
249
694931
4269
Karena saya berjalan maju, memahami
apa yang terjadi di masa lalu saya.
apa yang terjadi di masa lalu saya.
11:51
I know the obstacles they have for me.
250
699224
2171
Saya tahu hambatan yang
mereka ada bagi saya.
mereka ada bagi saya.
11:53
I know what they're going to do,
251
701419
1610
Saya tahu apa
yang mereka lakukan,
yang mereka lakukan,
11:55
and I'm fairly certain they're energizing
and creating new obstacles now.
and creating new obstacles now.
252
703053
3969
dan saya yakin mereka memberi energi
dan menciptakan hambatan baru sekarang.
dan menciptakan hambatan baru sekarang.
11:59
But they've got four years
to figure it out.
to figure it out.
253
707046
2436
Tapi mereka butuh empat tahun
untuk menemukannya.
untuk menemukannya.
12:01
(Laughter)
254
709506
1468
(Tertawa)
12:02
(Applause)
255

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Stacey Abrams - PoliticianFormer Georgia House Democratic Leader Stacey Abrams made history in 2018 when she earned the Democratic nomination for governor of Georgia.
Why you should listen
Stacey Abrams's 2018 campaign for governor of Georgia turned more voters than any Democrat in Georgia history, including former President Barack Obama, and invested in critical infrastructure to build progress in the state. After witnessing the gross mismanagement of the election by the Secretary of State's office, Abrams launched Fair Fight to ensure every Georgian has a voice in our election system.
Abrams received degrees from Spelman College, the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas and Yale Law School. Dedicated to civic engagement, she founded the New Georgia Project, which submitted more than 200,000 registrations from voters of color between 2014 and 2016.
Under the pen name Selena Montgomery, Abrams is the award-winning author of eight romantic suspense novels, which have sold more than 100,000 copies. As co-founder of NOW Account, a financial services firm that helps small businesses grow, Abrams has helped create and retain jobs in Georgia. And through her various business ventures, she has helped employ even more Georgians, including hundreds of young people starting out. As House Minority Leader, she has worked strategically to recruit, train, elect and defend Democrats to prevent a Republican supermajority in the House, and she has worked across the aisle on behalf of all Georgians. During her tenure, she has stopped legislation to raise taxes on the poor and middle class and to roll back reproductive healthcare. She has brokered compromises that led to progress on transportation, infrastructure, and education. In the legislature, she passed legislation to improve the welfare of grandparents and other kin raising children and secured increased funding to support these families.
Abrams and her five siblings grew up in Gulfport, Mississippi with three tenets: go to school, go to church, and take care of each other. Despite struggling to make ends meet for their family, her parents made service a way of life for their children -- if someone was less fortunate, it was their job to serve that person. This ethic led the family to Georgia. Abrams's parents attended Emory University to pursue graduate studies in divinity and become United Methodist ministers. Abrams and her younger siblings attended DeKalb County Schools, and she graduated from Avondale High School.
