Obama Discusses Managing Stress
完整文本记录
[Music]
in your seventh year in office what have
you learned about pacing yourself and
managing the stress of the job you know
the truth is that um I I'm lucky to buy
inclination and temperament be fairly
steady your Hawaiian Roots yeah exactly
I think that's probably what it is good
weather and uh and just like today
yeah uh so I don't get too high don't
get too low uh I've been very consistent
about exercising in the morning that
that helps um I but I think the the most
important I'm very consistent about
spending time with family and uh you
know when you have dinner with you your
daughters uh particularly teenage
daughters uh uh they'll keep you in your
place and and uh they'll teach you
something about perspective um but I
think the most important thing is to
take the Long View on things um we we
live in such a
247 Twitter fed constant news cycle and
everything's a crisis and everything
you're not on Twitter well I'm not but
but but but every everything's a crisis
everything's uh uh terrible everything
is doomsday everything is uh uh if it
doesn't get solved tomorrow uh you know
your presidency is going off the rails I
mean there there must have been what 15
20 things that uh over the last seven
years folks have said this is it it's
over uh you know we had a the Gul oil
spill worst environmental disaster in
history everybody said oh he's handling
this terribly a year later nobody was
talking about it and in retrospect it
turns out that we handled that as well
as any environmental uh crisis has been
handled uh Ebola remember that uh
obviously it's still a serious problem
and we've got to get down to zero but uh
that was probably one of the most
effective uh International Public Health
respons in history and that was led by
us if we hadn't acted uh it would still
be raging and everybody else would be at
risk U and so those experiences I think
remind you that uh my my job is to keep
my eye on the ball and to stay focused
on what can we get done every single day
to
advance the the vision and the values
that brought me here what what can I do
to make sure that uh middle class
families are feeling more secure that
more young people are able to access
opportunity that we are safe that we are
working with our International Partners
to try to uh create more order at a time
when uh there's a lot of chaos uh how do
we deal with terrorism in a way that's
consistent with our
values as long as I stay focused on
those North
Stars uh then I tend not to get too
rattled I was wondering how many hours
of sleep you're getting a night uh
probably not enough that's what I
figured You' say I I will say that uh
when people leave the administration
um and I see them 6 months later they
got the post Administration glow they
they really look good so I'm hoping uh
the same happens to me there's hope for
you thank you Mr President great to see
you take care thank you appreciate it
