[00:02.32]23. Commencement Address by Hilary Clinton at New York University
[00:13.24]As Secretary of State, I am well aware of the challenges that we face, 
[00:20.79]You, as new graduates, and your generation will be up against those challenges: 
[00:28.75]climate change and hunger, extreme poverty and extreme ideologies, new diseases and nuclear proliferation, 
[00:35.86]But I am absolutely convinced that you and we are up to the task 
[00:41.86]There is no problem we face here in America or around the world that will not yield to human effort, 
[00:50.94]to cooperation, to positive interdependence that makes clear humanity is going on, 
[00:54.84]our challenges are ones that summon the best of us, 
[00:59.19]and we will make the world better tomorrow than it is today.
[01:08.41]Now, I know that it is fashionable in commencement speeches to be idealistic, 
[01:14.75]and that may sound so, but at the root of my conviction is a strong sense of reality. 
[01:21.52]Because you see, I don't think we have a choice. 
[01:26.90]We can sit on the sidelines, we can wring our hands, we can retreat intocynicism, 
[01:35.51]and we know what the results will be: 
[01:39.25]We will cede the field to those whose ideologies are absolutely anathema to people of conscience and faith all over the world. 
[01:48.66]So our positive interdependence, which is a fact will prepare us to meet these challenges. 
[01:55.67]But they can no longer be seen just as government-to-government. 
[02:00.15]There is a time and an opportunity, and with the new technologies available, 
[02:06.70]for us to be citizen diplomats, citizen activists, to solve problems one by one that will give in to hard work, 
[02:14.97]patience, and persistence, and will then aggregate to the solutions we seek. 
[02:25.82]Now, I know we cannot send a special envoy to negotiate with a pandemic, 
[02:27.21]or call a summit with carbon dioxide, or sever relations with the global financial crisis. 
[02:35.50]To confront these threats and to seize the opportunities that they also present, 
[02:40.56]we need to build new partnerships from the bottom up, and to use every tool at our disposal. 
[02:47.31]That is the heart of smart power. 
[02:50.91]But smart power requires smart people, 
[02:53.31]people who have gone the distance for their education, 
[02:56.56]who have opened themselves up to this increasingly complex and interconnected world, 
[03:02.43]and this changing global landscape requires us to expand our concept of diplomacy.
