Michelle Obama On Education & Self-Belief | Penguin Talks

Ms. FLOTUS 44. You may, understandably, doubt my sincerity when I say YOU are the most remarkable, inspiring, and highest respected woman in the world as I view it. Please excuse me as I pull the entire shoe store from my mouth. I obviously have many regrets and owe numerous people my deepest apologies. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, patience, and time to make their statements without being rudely interrupted. All humanitarian speakers deserve this simple respect. However, a woman who has worked as hard as you have. Who has committed so many years educating yourself....... dedicated years of service, guided by your heart, moral compass, and passion to impact lives with the sole intention to help them understand and reach their greatest human potential................... A woman such as this deserves our best..... respect, patience, and understanding. We are lucky to get to hear thoughts and ideas. The world is a much better place because of you. I love and miss your family being in the White House. Thank you!

I'm a 53 year old man in Mississippi in The United States of America. This whole conversation has been so nice to.hear. There is a very good reason or reasons for me to hear this. God bless you Ms. Michelle and the Rock of your household too.

This resonated with me so deeply. As a working class student who at a top university, I have a lived experience of exactly what Michelle said about impostor syndrome. It's reassuring and inspiring to see someone who has been through the challenges and overcame them ❤️

I wish I heard your inspirational speech, while I was growing up.

People will never forget how u make them feel!!

Great speech! Full of experiences and sincerity👏👏👏❤️

Everyone got a DREAM, if you want to reach your goal, just work on it and you must have a self-confidence.

I went to fashion industries and the great thing they did the partner with designers and fashion companies to visit all the 11/12 graders. This was how I found out about Parsons school of design a private college for the elite, my teacher told me don’t apply you have to be rich and I applied and was 1 of 2 blacks that attended. Don’t let no one put a limit on you. Dream Big

Incredibly inspiring lady. Someone , just beautifully emphasising all the aspects of life..and the best part learning from each other .

I read your book. I can't begin to tell you how it impacted me but thank you. Australia xxxx

The teenager and influencing and inspiring and seeing as a role model is SO ACCURATE

' 'Who do you want to be ' and 'take care of your heart ' go hand in hand. Wow! Congratulations to your Mother, mothers around the world and the Men in their lives that instill such discipline and sense of being for good. Beautiful! Thank you very much.

Love this speech! Michelle is so knowledgeable she inspires so many women from many dif backgrounds to be their best version of themselves!!

I look forward to reading your book! I will be ordering it next week!

You have to be a whole person to build a great relationship with anybody. Love doesn’t fix a broken person. —— lesson learned ;)

This is a really nice discussion on education Ms. Michelle. You are loved by many. Thank the Almighty Lord of Earth.

TY, For a while, I couldn't understand it!!!!!!!!!!

I am a not as bright British white woman. I have done ok but not exceptional. I am so moved at how Michelle struggled when it is clear she is exceptional.

Well said! We must lift each other up!
