美國前第一夫人Michelle Obama每天以不同途徑來傳播她的理念和概念，好似推出書藉《Becoming》。她每次出現也會以不同的金句來激勵人心，以聲音發出力量，以下的12句語錄你一定要記入心。
Your story is yours, and it will always be yours. You own it.
1.你的故事是屬於你的，而且永遠也不會改變，它是你的了。
There are truths we face and truths we don't know
2.我們面對很多的「真相」，但同時我們也有很多「真相」是不知道的。
The future of our world can only be bright as long as it includes our daughters. Investing in their education is the best thing we can do for each and every one of us.
只有包括我們女兒在內的將來才是光明，投資在她們的教育上是我們每個人也可以做到最好的事情。
I wanted Barack for our family. Everyone else seemed to want it for our country.
4.我想奧巴馬只著重我們的家庭，但其他每一個人也希望他為我們的國家服務。
The only limit to how high your accomplishments are is the scope of your dreams and your willingness to work hard to achieve them.
5.實現夢想的唯一限制正是你對夢想有多渴望和你願意付出多少努力來實現。
As women we have to stand up for ourselves. As women we have to stand up for each other. As women we have to stand up for justice for all
6.作為女性，我们必須為自己站出来。作為女性，我们必須站出来支持對方。作為女性，我们必須站出来為所有人伸張正義。
Don't surround yourself with people who put you down, and follow your instincts.
7.不要和貶低你的人在一起，要遵循你的直覺。
Failure is a feeling long before it is a reality. It is the result of the combination of vulnerability and lack of self-confidence, which is then compounded, often deliberately, by fear.

8.在成為實現之前，失敗早已是一種感覺。這是脆弱和缺乏自信的共同結果，然後又因恐懼而令這種感覺加重。
At home we don't take each other too seriously, and laughter is the best form of unity, I think, in a marriage
9.在家中，我們不會把對方看得太重，我想，笑聲是婚姻中最好的團結形式。
You can live in the world as it is, but that doesn't mean you can't do everything to create the world as it should be.
10.你可以活在這個世界上，而不代表你不可以盡一切努力去創造這個世界應該有的樣子。
Be passionate about something and lean towards that force.
11.要對某件事情充滿熱情，並向它前進。
There is no boy who is good-looking or interesting enough to keep you from educating yourself. If I had cared about who liked me or who thought me cute when I was your age, I wouldn't be married to the President of the United States today.
沒有一個長得英俊的男生，或特別有趣的男生能讓你令自己進步。如果我在你這個年纪的時候只在乎誰喜歡我或者覺得我可爱，我今天就不會嫁给美國總统了。
