When you stumble, keep faith. And, when you're knocked down, get right back up

昨日までは完璧なシナリオでこれたはずだったのに。。。今は脱力気味で大したことは書けません。今の唯一の楽しみは彼女のConcession Speechを聞くことでしょうか。8年前のスピーチは素晴らしいものでしたよね。



To those who are disappointed that we couldn't go all of the way, especially the young people who put so much into this campaign, it would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours. Always aim high, work hard and care deeply about what you believe in. And, when you stumble, keep faith. And, when you're knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on. As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave this Earth is orbiting overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House. Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it, and the light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be a little easier next time.

もちろんブログタイトルにしたメッセージは彼女に向けたものではありません。彼女ほど大統領にふさわしい実力と経歴を兼ね備えた人は今後もなかなか出ないでしょう。今はただゆっくりしてくださいというしかありません。本当にお疲れ様でした。

Yutaは男ですけど、彼女のメッセージに応えるまでもなく、こんなことでへこたれている場合じゃないんですよね。
