Vystúpením v londýnskej dievčenskej škole sa Michelle Obamová pokúša s vášňou a osobným prístupom apelovať na študentky, aby brali štúdium vážne. „Toto je nová, úžasná generácia“, hovorí, „ktorá uzavrie priepasť medzi svetom takým, akým je a svetom, aký by mal byť.“

This is my first trip,

2000
Toto je moja prvá cesta.
00:20
my first foreign trip as a first lady.
1
2000
2000
Moja prvá zahraničná cesta prvej dámy.
00:22
Can you believe that?
2
4000
2000
Veríte tomu?
00:24
(Applause)

(Potlesk)
00:34
And while this is not my first visit to the U.K.,
4
16000
3000
Keďže toto nie je moja prvá návšteva Spojeného kráľovstva,
00:37
I have to say that I am glad that this is my first official visit.
5
19000
5000
musím povedať, že som rada, že je to moja prvá oficiálna návšteva.
00:42
The special relationship between the United States and the U.K.
6
24000
4000
Výnimočný vzťah medzi Spojenými štátmi a Spojeným kráľovstvom
00:46
is based not only on the relationship between governments,
7
28000
5000
je založený nielen na vzťahu medzi oboma vládami,
00:51
but the common language and the values that we share,
8
33000
3000
ale tiež na rovnakej reči a spoločných hodnotách.
00:54
and I'm reminded of that by watching you all today.
9
36000
4000
Dnes si to pripomínam pri pohľade na vás.
00:58
During my visit I've been especially honored
10
40000
4000
Počas mojej návštevy som bola skutočne poctená,
01:02
to meet some of Britain's most extraordinary women --
11
44000
3000
že som mohla stretnúť niekoľko výnimočných žien Británie.
01:05
women who are paving the way for all of you.
12
47000
3000
Ženy, ktoré pripravujú pôdu pre všetkých vás.
01:08
And I'm honored to meet you,
13
50000
3000
Som tiež poctená, že stretávam vás,
01:11
the future leaders of Great Britain and this world.
14
53000
6000
budúce vedúce osobnosti Veľkej Británie a tohto sveta.
01:17
And although the circumstances of our lives may seem very distant,
15
59000
5000
Hoci naše životné cesty vyzerajú veľmi vzdialené,
01:22
with me standing here as the First Lady of the United States of America,
16
64000
4000
ja ako prvá dáma Spojených štátov amerických
01:26
and you, just getting through school,
17
68000
4000
a vy, ešte v školských laviciach,
01:30
I want you to know that we have very much in common.
18
72000
4000
chcem však, aby ste vedeli, že máme veľmi veľa spoločného.
01:34
For nothing in my life's path
19
76000
4000
Nič v mojom živote nenasvedčovalo tomu,
01:38
would have predicted that I'd be standing here
20
80000
2000
že budem stáť tu
01:40
as the first African-American First Lady
21
82000
3000
ako afro-americká prvá dáma
01:43
of the United States of America.
22
85000
2000
Spojených štátov amerických.
01:45
There is nothing in my story that would land me here.
23
87000
5000
V mojom životnom príbehu nie je nič, čo by ma sem mohlo priviesť.
01:50
I wasn't raised with wealth or resources
24
92000
3000
Nevyrastala som v bohatstve alebo v nadbytku,
01:53
or any social standing to speak of.
25
95000
4000
či v podobnom sociálnom postavení.
01:57
I was raised on the South Side of Chicago.
26
99000
4000
Vyrastala som v South Side v Chicagu.
02:01
That's the real part of Chicago.
27
103000
3000
Je to veľká časť mesta Chicago.
02:04
And I was the product of a working-class community.
28
106000
3000
Bola som výsledkom komunity pracujúcej triedy.
02:07
My father was a city worker all of his life,
29
109000
4000
Môj otec bol mestský robotník po celý jeho život.
02:11
and my mother was a stay-at-home mom.
30
113000
2000
A mama bola matkou v domácnosti.
02:13
And she stayed at home to take care of me and my older brother.
31
115000
5000
Zostala doma, aby sa mohla postarať o mňa a môjho staršieho brata.
02:18
Neither of them attended university.
32
120000
3000
Ani jeden z nich nenavštevoval univerzitu.
02:21
My dad was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis
33
123000
3000
Otcovi diagnostikovali sklerózu multiplex
02:24
in the prime of his life.
34
126000
2000
v najlepších rokoch jeho života.
02:26
But even as it got harder for him to walk
35
128000
3000
Hoci bolo pre neho stále ťažšie chodiť
02:29
and get dressed in the morning --
36
131000
2000
a ráno sa obliecť,
02:31
I saw him struggle more and more --
37
133000
2000
videla som ho bojovať stále viac a viac;
02:33
my father never complained about his struggle.
38
135000
4000
môj otec sa nikdy nesťažoval na svoj boj.
02:37
He was grateful for what he had.
39
139000
2000
Bol vďačný za to, čo mal.
02:39
He just woke up a little earlier and worked a little harder.
40
141000
5000
Vždy len o niečo skôr vstal a pracoval o niečo ťažšie.
02:44
And my brother and I were raised with all that you really need:
41
146000
3000
Môj brat a ja sme boli vychovávaní so všetkým, čo naozaj potrebujete:
02:47
love, strong values
42
149000
3000
s láskou, silnými hodnotami
02:50
and a belief that with a good education
43
152000
3000
a vierou, že s dobrým vzdelaním
02:53
and a whole lot of hard work,
44
155000
2000
a tvrdou prácou
02:55
that there was nothing that we could not do.
45
157000
3000
neexistuje nič, čo by sme nemohli robiť.
02:58
I am an example of what's possible
46
160000
4000
Ja som príkladom toho, čo všetko je možné,
03:02
when girls from the very beginning of their lives
47
164000
4000
keď sú dievčatá už od útleho detstva
03:06
are loved and nurtured by the people around them.
48
168000
5000
milované a vychovávané ľuďmi okolo nich.
03:11
I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life:
49
173000
4000
Vo svojom živote som bola obklopená výnimočnými ženami.
03:15
grandmothers, teachers, aunts, cousins, neighbors,
50
177000
5000
Starými mamami, učiteľkami, tetami, sesternicami, susedkami,
03:20
who taught me about quiet strength and dignity.
51
182000
4000
ktoré ma naučili sile a dôstojnosti.
03:24
And my mother, the most important role model in my life,
52
186000
5000
A moja mama, najdôležitejší vzor v mojom živote,
03:29
who lives with us at the White House
53
191000
2000
ktorá s nami žije v Bielom dome
03:31
and helps to care for our two little daughters,
54
193000
3000
a pomáha nám starať sa o naše dve malé dcéry,
03:34
Malia and Sasha.
55
196000
2000
Maliu a Sashu.
03:36
She's an active presence in their lives, as well as mine,
56
198000
4000
Je aktívnou súčasťou ich životov, ako aj môjho,
03:40
and is instilling in them
57
202000
2000
a vštepuje im
03:42
the same values that she taught me and my brother:
58
204000
3000
tie isté hodnoty, ktoré učila mňa a môjho brata,
03:45
things like compassion, and integrity,
59
207000
3000
ako je súcit, čestnosť,
03:48
and confidence, and perseverance --
60
210000
4000
sebadôvera a húževnatosť.
03:52
all of that wrapped up in an unconditional love
61
214000
3000
To všetko obalené bezvýhradnou láskou,
03:55
that only a grandmother can give.
62
217000
3000
akú vie dať len stará mama.
03:58
I was also fortunate enough to be cherished and encouraged
63
220000
4000
Mala som šťastie, že som bola vychovávaná a podporovaná aj
04:02
by some strong male role models as well,
64
224000
5000
silnými mužskými vzormi,
04:07
including my father, my brother, uncles and grandfathers.
65
229000
3000
vrátane môjho otca, brata, strýkov a starých otcov.
04:10
The men in my life taught me some important things, as well.
66
232000
5000
Muži v mojom živote ma takisto naučili dôležité veci.
04:15
They taught me about what a respectful relationship
67
237000
3000
Učili ma, ako by mal vyzerať úctivý vzťah
04:18
should look like between men and women.
68
240000
4000
medzi mužmi a ženami.
04:22
They taught me about what a strong marriage feels like:
69
244000
4000
Učili ma, ako by malo vyzerať silné manželstvo.
04:26
that it's built on faith and commitment
70
248000
3000
To, že je budované na vernosti a oddanosti
04:29
and an admiration for each other's unique gifts.
71
251000
4000
a obdive jedinečných darov oboch.
04:33
They taught me about what it means
72
255000
2000
Naučili ma, čo to znamená
04:35
to be a father
73
257000
2000
byť otcom
04:37
and to raise a family.
74
259000
2000
a starať sa o rodinu.
04:39
And not only to invest in your own home
75
261000
2000
Nielen investovať do vlastného domova,
04:41
but to reach out and help raise kids
76
263000
5000
ale aj snažiť sa komunikovať a pomôcť deťom
04:46
in the broader community.
77
268000
2000
presadiť sa vo väčšej spoločnosti.
04:48
And these were the same qualities
78
270000
2000
Tieto isté kvailty
04:50
that I looked for in my own husband,
79
272000
3000
som potom hľadala aj v mojom manželovi,
04:53
Barack Obama.
80
275000
2000
Barackovi Obamovi.
04:56
And when we first met,
81
278000
3000
Keď sme sa prvý krát stretli,
04:59
one of the things that I remember is that he took me out on a date.
82
281000
4000
jedna z vecí, ktoré si pamätám je, že ma zobral von na rande.
05:03
And his date was to go with him to a community meeting.
83
285000
3000
A to rande znamenalo ísť s ním na verejné zasadnutie.
05:06
(Laughter)
84
288000
2000
(smiech)
05:08
I know, how romantic.
85
290000
2000
Viem, aké romantické.
05:10
(Laughter)
86
292000
3000
(smiech)
05:13
But when we met, Barack was a community organizer.
87
295000
2000
Ale keď sme sa zoznámili, Barack bol komunitný organizátor.
05:15
He worked, helping people to find jobs
88
297000
4000
Jeho prácou bolo pomáhať ľuďom nájsť si prácu
05:19
and to try to bring resources into struggling neighborhoods.
89
301000
4000
a snažiť sa priniesť prostriedky do problémového okolia.
05:23
As he talked to the residents in that community center,
90
305000
2000
Keď hovoril s občanmi v danom spoločenskom centre,
05:25
he talked about two concepts.
91
307000
2000
hovoril o dvoch koncepciách.
05:27
He talked about "the world as it is" and "the world as it should be."
92
309000
6000
Hovoril o "svete,aký je" a "svete, aký by mal byť."
05:33
And I talked about this throughout the entire campaign.
93
315000
4000
Ja som o tom hovorila počas celej kampane.
05:37
What he said, that all too often,
94
319000
2000
Čo dosť prízvukoval bolo,
05:39
is that we accept the distance between those two ideas.
95
321000
5000
že akceptujeme vzdialenosť medzi týmito dvoma myšlienkami
05:44
And sometimes we settle for the world as it is,
96
326000
4000
a niekedy sa uspokojíme so svetom, aký je,
05:48
even when it doesn't reflect our values and aspirations.
97
330000
4000
aj keď neodzrkadľuje naše hodnoty a snahy.
05:52
But Barack reminded us on that day,
98
334000
3000
Barack však v ten deň pripomenul
05:55
all of us in that room, that we all know
99
337000
3000
nám všetkým v miestnosti, že všetci vieme,
05:58
what our world should look like.
100
340000
4000
ako by náš svet mal vyzerať.
06:02
We know what fairness and justice and opportunity look like.
101
344000
3000
Vieme, ako vyzerá čestnosť, spravodlivosť a príležitosť.
06:05
We all know.
102
347000
2000
Všetci to vieme.
06:07
And he urged the people in that meeting,
103
349000
2000
Naliehal na ľudí na tom stretnutí
06:09
in that community,
104
351000
2000
v tej komunite,
06:11
to devote themselves to closing the gap
105
353000
3000
aby sa snažili uzavrieť priepasť
06:14
between those two ideas,
106
356000
2000
medzi týmito dvoma myšlienkami,
06:16
to work together to try to make the world as it is
107
358000
4000
aby sa zjednotili a pokúsili spojiť svet, aký je,
06:20
and the world as it should be, one and the same.
108
362000
4000
so svetom, aký by mal byť.
06:24
And I think about that today because I am
109
366000
3000
Dnes nad tým premýšľam, pretože
06:27
reminded and convinced that all of you in this school
110
369000
4000
som presvedčená, že každá jedna z vás v tejto škole
06:31
are very important parts of closing that gap.
111
373000
5000
je veľmi dôležitou súčasťou na uzatvorenie tejto priepasti.
06:36
You are the women who will build the world as it should be.
112
378000
5000
Vy ste ženy, ktoré budú budovať svet taký, aký by mal byť.
06:41
You're going to write the next chapter in history.
113
383000
2000
Vy budete písať ďalšiu kapitolu v histórii.
06:43
Not just for yourselves, but for your generation
114
385000
4000
Nielen pre vás, ale pre vašu generáciu
06:47
and generations to come.
115
389000
3000
a generácie, ktoré prídu po vás.
06:50
And that's why getting a good education
116
392000
2000
Preto je získanie dobrého vzdelania
06:52
is so important.
117
394000
2000
tak dôležité.
06:54
That's why all of this that you're going through --
118
396000
3000
Preto všetko, cez čo budete musieť prejsť,
06:57
the ups and the downs, the teachers that you love and the teachers that you don't --
119
399000
4000
vzostupy i pády, učitelia, ktorých máte rady, aj tí, ktorých nie,
07:01
why it's so important.
120
403000
3000
preto je to všetko tak dôležité.
07:04
Because communities and countries and ultimately the world
121
406000
3000
Pretože spoločenstvá a krajiny a v podstate celý svet
07:07
are only as strong as the health of their women.
122
409000
5000
sú len tak silné, aké silné je zdravie ich žien.
07:12
And that's important to keep in mind.
123
414000
2000
Je dôležité uchovať si to v mysli.
07:14
Part of that health includes an outstanding education.
124
416000
6000
Súčasťou tohto zdravia je vynikajúce vzdelanie.
07:20
The difference between a struggling family and a healthy one
125
422000
5000
Rozdiel medzi zápasiacou rodinou a zdravou rodinou
07:25
is often the presence of an empowered woman
126
427000
3000
je často v prítomnosti silnej ženy
07:28
or women at the center of that family.
127
430000
3000
alebo žien v centre danej rodiny.
07:31
The difference between a broken community and a thriving one
128
433000
3000
Rozdiel medzi upadajúcou a prosperujúcou spoločnosťou
07:34
is often the healthy respect between men and women
129
436000
4000
spočíva často v zdravom rešpekte medzi mužmi a ženami,
07:38
who appreciate the contributions each other makes to society.
130
440000
5000
ktorí oceňujú prínos toho druhého do spoločnosti.
07:43
The difference between a languishing nation
131
445000
3000
Rozdiel medzi chradnúcim národom
07:46
and one that will flourish
132
448000
2000
a tým, čo prekvitá,
07:48
is the recognition that we need equal access to education
133
450000
4000
tkvie v poznaní, že potrebujeme rovnaký prístup k vzdelaniu,
07:52
for both boys and girls.
134
454000
2000
rovnako pre chlapcov a dievčatá.
07:54
And this school, named after the U.K.'s first female doctor,
135
456000
5000
Táto škola, nesúca názov po prvej doktorke v Spojenom kráľovstve
07:59
and the surrounding buildings named for Mexican artist Frida Kahlo,
136
461000
6000
a okolité budovy pomenované po mexickej umelkyni Fride Kahlovej,
08:05
Mary Seacole,
137
467000
2000
Mary Seacoleovej,
08:07
the Jamaican nurse known as the "black Florence Nightingale,"
138
469000
4000
jamajskej sestre známej ako "čierny slávik Florencie"
08:11
and the English author, Emily Bronte,
139
473000
3000
a anglickej autorke Emily Brönteovej,
08:14
honor women who fought sexism, racism and ignorance,
140
476000
4000
vzdávajú česť ženám, ktoré bojovali proti sexizmu, rasizmu a nevedomosti,
08:18
to pursue their passions to feed their own souls.
141
480000
5000
a usilovali sa tak svojimi vášňami nakŕmiť svoje duše.
08:23
They allowed for no obstacles.
142
485000
3000
Nepripúšťali nijaké prekážky.
08:26
As the sign said back there, "without limitations."
143
488000
4000
Ako je napísané za mnou: "bez obmedzení".
08:30
They knew no other way to live
144
492000
2000
Nepoznali iný spôsob života,
08:32
than to follow their dreams.
145
494000
3000
len ten, nasledovať svoje sny.
08:35
And having done so, these women
146
497000
5000
Takto tieto ženy
08:40
moved many obstacles.
147
502000
2000
prekonali mnohé prekážky.
08:42
And they opened many new doors
148
504000
2000
Otvorili mnoho nových dverí
08:44
for millions of female doctors and nurses
149
506000
3000
pre milióny doktoriek, sestier,
08:47
and artists and authors,
150
509000
3000
umelkýň a autoriek,
08:50
all of whom have followed them.
151
512000
2000
ktoré ich nasledovali.
08:52
And by getting a good education,
152
514000
3000
Získaním dobrého vzdelania
08:55
you too can control your own destiny.
153
517000
4000
môžete aj vy riadiť svoj osud.
08:59
Please remember that.
154
521000
3000
Prosím, pamätajte na to.
09:02
If you want to know the reason why I'm standing here,
155
524000
4000
Ak chcete vedieť dôvod, prečo tu stojím,
09:06
it's because of education.
156
528000
3000
je to kvôli vzdelaniu.
09:09
I never cut class. Sorry, I don't know if anybody is cutting class.
157
531000
4000
Nikdy som nechodila poza školu. Prepáčte, neviem, či niekto z vás chodí poza školu.
09:13
I never did it.
158
535000
2000
Ja nikdy.
09:15
I loved getting As.
159
537000
2000
Rada som dostávala jednotky.
09:17
I liked being smart.
160
539000
2000
Páčilo sa mi byť šikovná.
09:19
I liked being on time. I liked getting my work done.
161
541000
4000
Rada som chodila na čas. Rada som si dokončila svoju prácu.
09:23
I thought being smart was cooler than anything in the world.
162
545000
5000
Myslela som si, že byť šikovná je úžasnejšie ako čokoľvek na svete.
09:28
And you too, with these same values,
163
550000
2000
Aj vy, s týmito istými hodnotami,
09:30
can control your own destiny.
164
552000
2000
môžete riadiť svoj osud.
09:32
You too can pave the way.
165
554000
3000
Aj vy môžete kráčať touto cestou.
09:35
You too can realize your dreams,
166
557000
2000
Aj vy môžete realizovať svoje sny,
09:37
and then your job is to reach back
167
559000
4000
vašou prácou potom bude pozrieť sa späť
09:41
and to help someone just like you do the same thing.
168
563000
4000
a pomôcť niekomu ako vy, urobiť to isté.
09:45
History proves that it doesn't matter
169
567000
3000
História potvrdzuje, že nezáleží na tom,
09:48
whether you come from a council estate
170
570000
2000
či pochádzate z chudobnejších
09:50
or a country estate.
171
572000
2000
alebo bohatších pomerov.
09:52
Your success will be determined
172
574000
2000
Váš úspech bude ovplyvnený
09:54
by your own fortitude,
173
576000
3000
vašou statočnosťou,
09:57
your own confidence, your own individual hard work.
174
579000
4000
sebadôverou, vlastnou tvrdou prácou.
10:01
That is true. That is the reality of the world that we live in.
175
583000
4000
To je pravda. To je skutočnosť vo svete, v ktorom žijeme.
10:05
You now have control over your own destiny.
176
587000
3000
Teraz máte kontrolu nad vašim vlastným osudom.
10:08
And it won't be easy -- that's for sure.
177
590000
5000
Nebude to jednoduché. To je isté.
10:13
But you have everything you need.
178
595000
2000
Ale máte k tomu všetko, čo potrebujete.
10:15
Everything you need to succeed,
179
597000
3000
Všetko čo potrebujete, aby ste uspeli,
10:18
you already have, right here.
180
600000
3000
máte práve tu.
10:21
My husband works in this big office.
181
603000
4000
Môj manžel pracuje v tej veľkej kancelárii.
10:25
They call it the Oval Office.
182
607000
3000
Nazývajú ju Oválna pracovňa.
10:28
In the White House, there's the desk that he sits at --
183
610000
2000
V Bielom dome je stôl, za ktorým sedí.
10:30
it's called the Resolute desk.
184
612000
3000
Nazýva sa "Resolute desk".
10:33
It was built by the timber of Her Majesty's Ship Resolute
185
615000
4000
Bol vyrobený z trámov lode britského kráľovského loďstva pomenovanej "Resolute",
10:37
and given by Queen Victoria.
186
619000
3000
ktorá bola darom od kráľovnej Viktórie.
10:40
It's an enduring symbol of the friendship between our two nations.
187
622000
5000
Predstavuje trvalý symbol priateľstva medzi našimi dvoma národmi.
10:45
And its name, Resolute,
188
627000
2000
Názov "Resolute"
10:47
is a reminder of the strength of character that's required
189
629000
4000
je pripomienkou sily charakteru, ktorý je nevyhnutný
10:51
not only to lead a country,
190
633000
2000
nielen pre vedenie krajiny,
10:53
but to live a life of purpose, as well.
191
635000
5000
ale aj pre žitie života s určitým cieľom.
10:58
And I hope in pursuing your dreams, you all remain resolute,
192
640000
4000
Dúfam, že v uskutočňovaní vašich snov zostanete rozhodné,
11:02
that you go forward without limits,
193
644000
3000
pôjdete vpred bez obmedzení
11:05
and that you use your talents -- because there are many; we've seen them;
194
647000
5000
a využijete svoje talenty, pretože ich máte veľa. Videli sme ich.
11:10
it's there --
195
652000
2000
Sú tam.
11:12
that you use them to create the world as it should be.
196
654000
4000
Využijete ich na to, aby ste vytvorili taký svet, aký by mal byť.
11:16
Because we are counting on you.
197
658000
3000
Pretože my sa na vás spoliehame.
11:19
We are counting on every single one of you
198
661000
2000
Spoliehame sa na každú jednu z vás,
11:21
to be the very best that you can be.
199
663000
3000
že sa pokúsite byť tými najlepšími.
11:24
Because the world is big.
200
666000
2000
Pretože svet je veľký
11:26
And it's full of challenges.
201
668000
2000
a je plný výziev.
11:28
And we need strong, smart, confident young women
202
670000
4000
Potrebujeme silné, inteligentné, sebavedomé ženy,
11:32
to stand up and take the reins.
203
674000
2000
ktoré vstanú a zoberú opraty do svojich rúk.
11:34
We know you can do it. We love you. Thank you so much.
204
676000
4000
Vieme, že na to máte. Milujeme vás. Ďakujem veľmi pekne.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Michelle Obama - First Lady of the United StatesFirst Lady Michelle Obama, a lawyer and administrator, is an advocate for working parents and education for girls all around the world.
Why you should listen
Michelle Obama's life as First Lady of the United States is informed by her early life, growing up as the daughter of a pump operator for the Chicago water department. Though money was tight, her parents emphasized education and possibility for their two brilliant children. Both kids went to Princeton (her older brother, Craig Robinson, was a bond trader, then become a much-respected basketball coach at Brown and now Oregon State University); Michelle went on to Harvard Law School, and returned to Chicago to do corporate law at the firm where she met her future husband, Barack Obama. She left corporate law to become a civil servant, working in planning, social outreach and administration with the city of Chicago, AmeriCorps and the University of Chicago Medical Center.
While Michelle Obama's personal focus is on raising her own two children, Malia and Sasha, in the glare of White House life, her outward focus, as First Lady, revolves around issues of education and work-life balance; she's a passionate supporter of working mothers and for global education of women and girls. She's helping to lead the drive for national service, encouraging Americans to volunteer in their own communities. Follow her on Snapchat at @michelleobama.
