i applaud prime minister abe for expanding paid family leave here in japan, an important step in addressing the modern challenges of working families and maintaining women’s attachment to the workforce.

this year, for the first time ever, the president’s budget included a proposal to establish a nationwide paid family leave program. we know this will take time, but we are deeply committed to working with members of congress, on both sides of the aisle, to get it done and deliver more pro-family solutions to hardworking americans.

third, in this age of rapid technology, we must also confront the challenges of workforce development.

it is critical as we look toward the future, that we don’t allow women in the united states and around the world to be left behind by the 4th industrial revolution – a revolution that’s integrating robotics, computer programing, artificial intelligence, social media, and cutting-edge technologies into every aspect of our society.

as technology transforms every industry, we must work to ensure that women have access to the same education and industry opportunities as men.

female and minority participation in stem fields is moving in the wrong direction. women today represent only 13 percent of engineers and 24 percent of computer science professionals, down from 35 percent in 1990. we must create equal participation in these traditionally male-dominated sectors of our economy, which are among the fastest-growing and most lucrative industries in the world. over the coming decades, technologies such as automation and robotics will transform the way we work, and we want to make sure that women can lead in the economy of the future. otherwise, not only will we fail in closing the persistent gender wage gap, we will risk reversing the hard-fought progress we have made in this fight.

i joined the government informed by my experiences in the private sector, having been both an executive leading an international real estate business and an entrepreneur who built a successful brand in an entirely different industry.

as a professional with three young children, despite the help i am able to have at home, i too experience the struggles of balancing the competing demands of work and family.

i, however, am far more fortunate than most.

because of the opportunities i’ve been afforded my whole life, i felt an obligation to seize this moment and join the administration.

i saw a chance to fuel the number of women owned businesses and grow our economy.

i saw a chance to work on behalf of girls in rural communities and inner cities who by learning to code or studying robotics could secure good-paying jobs in our modern economy.

凡尔纳是一位世界闻名的科幻小说作家，但很少有人知道凡尔纳为了发表他的第一部作品，曾经遭受过多么大的挫折!这里记录的，就是凡尔纳的一段令人难忘的经历：

1863年冬天的一个上午，凡尔纳刚吃过早饭，正准备到邮局去，突然听到一阵敲门声，他开门一看，原来是一个邮递员。

邮递员把一包鼓囊囊的邮件递到了凡尔纳的手里。一看到这样的邮件，凡尔纳就预感到不妙，自从他几个月前把他的第一部科幻小说《乘气球五周记》寄到各出版社后，收到这样的邮件已经是第十四次了。

他怀着忐忑不安的心情拆开一看，上面写道：“凡尔纳先生：书稿经我们审读后，不拟出版，特此奉还。”

每看到这样一封封退稿信，凡尔纳心里都是一陈绞痛。这次是第十五次了，还是未被采用。凡尔纳此时已深知，那些出版社的“老爷”们是如何看不起无名作者。他愤怒地发誓，从此再也不写了。

他拿起手稿向壁炉走去，准备把这些稿子付之一炬。他妻子赶过来，一把抢过书稿紧紧抱在怀里。此时的凡尔纳余怒未息，说什么也要把稿子烧掉。

他妻子急中生智，以满怀关切的语言安慰丈夫，“亲爱的，不要灰心，再试一次吧，也许这次能交上好运的。”听了这句话以后，凡尔纳夺书稿的手，慢慢放下了。他沉默了好一会儿，然后接受了妻子的劝告，又抱起这一大包书稿到第十六家出版社去碰运气。

这次没有落空，读完书稿后，这家出版社立即决定出版此书，并与凡尔纳签订了20年的出书合同。没有他妻子的疏导，没有“再努力一次”的勇气，我们也许根本无法读到凡尔纳笔下那些脍炙人口的科幻故事，人类就会失去一份极其珍贵的精神财富。

integrating and empowering women is not just good corporate policy, it’s good business.

second, in addition to changing the corporate culture, we must advance public policies that address the composition of our modern workforce.

in the united states, while single women without children make 95 cents for each dollar earned by a man, married mothers earn only 81 cents. too many women in the united states are forced to leave the workforce following the birth of a child.

we must ensure that federal policies support working mothers and enable them to reach their full potential. this is how we will create an environment where closely bonded families can flourish and our economy can grow at unprecedented levels.

that is why in the united states, we are working to pass sweeping and long over-due tax reform that will afford families much needed relief. we are seeking to simplify the tax code, lower rates, expand the child tax credit, eliminate the marriage penalty, and put more money back in the pockets of hard-working americans.

our administration is working to address the high cost of childcare in the united states which currently outstrips housing expenses and state college tuition in much of the country. it cannot be too expensive for the modern working family to have children.

大导演史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格决定回到加州大学修完当年还没有读完的电影系学分。

1965年，史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格在加大电影系二年级时拍了一部22分钟的短片，参加亚特兰大电影节，好莱坞的投资者看了，马上与他签约，斯皮尔伯格因此辍学，到好莱坞发展。事实证明这一步是对的，如果他当年不把握机会，坚持要完成学业，他或许成不了大师。

但40年过去了，斯皮尔伯格虽然功成名就，他还是很介意年轻时的学业没有完成。夜深人静时，斯皮尔伯格总听到一个声音对他说：今天你是好莱坞权力最大的人，你的名字是年轻人的名气、金钱的保证，但那又怎样呢?你曾经背弃过自己的承诺，无论再有钱、名气再大，你的品格还有个小小的污点，因为你曾经当过逃兵。

斯皮尔伯格回到大学，用假名重新注册插班，用假名考试交卷，只有几个教授知道他的身份，他的功课与其他学生一起送交校外的学者审阅。课程要求学生交电影实习作业，斯皮尔伯格在《辛德勒的名单》中选取了12分钟的影片，还交了《大白鲨》和《第三类接触》的片段。大学电影系助理教授凯利为他总评分，给他成绩“良”，评语是“该学生对音响、灯光、剪接和剧本管理颇有驾驭力”。

这位《侏罗纪公园》的主人还要副修一门叫野生生物的学科。教授说他精于恐龙知识，上课谦卑有礼，除了有一天在课堂上把一只脚搁在书桌上。他向老师道歉，解释是前一天与儿子一起玩滑板扭伤了腿。教授提醒班上其他学生，不要对这个天王级的同学有什么崇拜的眼光，只把他当普通人。学生做到了，没有向他索取签名，但在毕业典礼的那天，他们告诉父母：我与史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格同一年毕业。

在虚荣的世界，有太多人相信“成功人士”不一定要念完大学，并以盖茨为例，说盖茨也没有读完哈佛。但学业没有完成，是毕生的心理创伤，即使缝合了，也还在心头留下疤痕。终有一天，我们都会为年轻时一件没有交的功课、一项未完的工作，或辜负了的一个人而感到遗憾，醒悟一切名誉和财富都不能补偿。这样的遗憾，像风湿症，通常在中年以后发作。斯皮尔伯格不惜代价，治好了他的风湿症，他是一个有福气的人。

ivanka trump delivers speech at japan's world assembly for women

thank you very much prime minister abe, for that kind introduction. and thank you for your gracious hospitality to my family.

this is my first visit to japan, and the warmth you have shown us, the beauty of your landscape, and the vibrancy of your culture are truly incredible gifts to all who come to this country. yesterday evening, as i arrived in tokyo, i was struck by the magnificence of the skyline – and this morning i was awed by the ancient beauty of the imperial palace. the wonders of this land are a testament to the creativity and resilience of the japanese people.

it is an honor to join you today at the world assembly for women. i am grateful to be with this exceptional and passionate group of leaders to discuss the economic empowerment of women, to celebrate the progress our societies have made, and to chart a bold course for the future.

the economic empowerment of women has been a focus of mine for many years – ensuring that 50% of our population can fully participate in the workforce is critical to strengthening our communities and growing our prosperity.

that is why after my father’s election, i decided to leave my businesses and work in government to advance policies and initiatives that empower women to fully participate in the economy, if they so choose. policies that enable women to pursue their careers and care for their families, policies that focus on workforce development and skills training, and policies that fuel entrepreneurship so that americans can turn their aspirations into their incredible legacy.

our societies are at a critical juncture – a moment of both great challenge and opportunity.

over the last half century, women have entered every imaginable field, reached the highest levels of management, and now are leading some of the largest companies in the world.

we have discovered life-saving medical cures, traveled to space, and created transformative technologies. the women here today represent this historic achievement – and shine the light towards an even brighter future.

here in japan, 4 decades ago, 45 percent of women worked outside the home. today, 66 percent of working-age women are in the workforce – a significant improvement, and one i know will only continue to grow in great measure due to prime minister abe’s vision for japan.

at the very heart of this vision is womenomics.

womenomics recognizes the centrality of women, who represent roughly half of our global population, in achieving true economic growth. women who are empowered to work, to thrive, and to lead bring immense creativity, fresh perspective, and success to our economy – and to the world.

when women work, it creates a unique multiplier effect. women are more likely than men to hire other women, to give them access to capital, mentorship and networks. women have been shown to reinvest 90 percent of their income in their homes and communities, and tend to allocate more of their funds to food, healthcare and education-resources that benefit children and improve our societies for generations. when women work, they not only support themselves, but they create a better future for their families and their communities.

currently, an estimated 49 percent of women across the world participate in the global workforce. if women close the gap with men in all aspects of work and society, it could add trillions of dollars to our annual global gdp over the next decade.

helping every american with autism achieve their full potential is one of this administration’s top priorities. at the u.s. department of health and human services, we continue to strive to meet the complex needs of all people with autism spectrum disorders (asd) and their families. while there is no cure, early intervention is critical and can greatly improve a child’s development.

perhaps the biggest step we’ve taken to support those affected by autism and their families happened over a year ago, with the signing of the affordable care act. now, new insurance plans are required to cover autism screening and developmental assessments for children at no cost to parents. insurers will also no longer be allowed to deny children coverage for a pre-existing condition such as asd or to set arbitrary lifetime or annual limits on benefits.

also, thanks to the new law, young adults are allowed to stay on their family health insurance until they turn 26. for a young adult with autism spectrum disorder and their family, that means peace of mind. it means more flexibility, more options, and more opportunity to reach their full potential.

ultimately, there is more support for americans with autism than ever before. this means more promise of new breakthroughs that will help us understand autism even better. but in order to continue meeting the needs of people with autism, the combating autism act must be fully reauthorized. we still have a long way to go. working collaboratively with important partners, the affordable care act and the combating autism act will allow us to continue important research and develop and refine vital treatments.

there are still many unknowns. however, one thing is certain. we will continue to work harder than ever to find solutions and provide support to individuals with asd and their families. together, we can help reduce disparities and allow everyone to actualize their greatest potential.

kathleen sebelius is secretary of health and human services.
