well, this is not how i expected to wake up this morning. after i received the news, malia walked in and said, "daddy, you won the nobel peace prize, and it is bo's birthday!" and then sasha added: "plus, we have a three-day weekend coming up." so it's good to have kids to keep things inperspective.

i am both surprised and deeply humbled by the decision of the nobel committee. let me be clear: i do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of american leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations.

to be honest, i do not feel that i deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who have been honoured by this prize – men and women who have inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.

but i also know that this prize reflects the kind of world that those men and women, and all americans, want to build – a world that gives life to the promise of our founding documents. and i know that, throughout history, the nobel peace prize has not just been used to honour specific achievement; it's also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes. and that is why i will accept this award as a call to action – a call for all nations to confront the common challenges of the 21st-century.

these challenges can't be met by any one leader or any one nation. and that's why my administration has worked to establish a new era of engagement in which all nations must take responsibility for the world we seek...

some of the work confronting us will not be completed during my presidency. some, like the elimination of nuclear weapons, may not be completed in my lifetime. but i know these challenges can be met so long as it's recognised that they will not be met by one person or one nation alone. this award is not simply about the efforts of my administration – it's about the courageous efforts of people around the world.

and that's why this award must be shared with everyone who strives for justice and dignity – for the young woman who marches silently in the streets on behalf of her right to be heard even in the face of beatings and bullets; for the leader imprisoned in her own home because she refuses to abandon her commitment to democracy; for the soldier who sacrificed through tour after tour of duty on behalf of someone half a world away; and for all those men and women across the world who sacrifice their safety and their freedom and sometimes their lives for the cause of peace.

that has always been the cause of america. that's why the world has always looked to america. and that's why i believe america will continue to lead. thank you very much.

Peace – something we cannot

afford to lose

When we were kids, we used to have a dream. In our dream, the sky is blue, the sun is bright, the field is green; in our dream, children from all over the world are singing together; in our dream, you’ll feel there’s no hurt or sorrow. It is peace that we cherished so much when we were young, and I still believe it is peace that we cannot afford to lose.

However, when we grow up and look around the real world with our own eyes carefully, we find that the dream was only a dream. In Africa, we saw conflicts; in Iraqi and Libyan, we noticed the casualties; in a lot of other countries, we found turbulence and turmoil. Where are the doves and green branches? Where are the happy children and affluent people? And how can we believe the world peace exactly exists under the same sky? We never want to see the soldiers unwillingly leaving their wife and mom, crying. We never want to see the homeless children seeking a bit of dry ground to sleep on for the cold night under a low bridge. We never want to see our country consume a great deal of money to make preparations for wars. There is no doubt that we need a peaceful world, without wars, without death. Not because of the peace itself, but actually for its intended purpose.

It is obviously every single human being is too small to stop the wars and advocate the peace even though he firmly wants to. But human

beings are never alone. With you and me and everyone else, we can achieve this goal. I believe that everyone feels like having a wonderful breakfast with family instead of preparing for fighting against the enemy. I believe everyone feels like having a trip somewhere else and enjoy beautiful scenery instead of facing bloody bodies and damaged buildings. I believe everyone feels like sitting in a bright classroom or office to study or to work instead of constructing new buildings on the ruined ones. So, in order to secure our dreams and make them come true, we must understand that peace is something we cannot afford to lose.

I firmly believe that:

We can create a world with no fear;

We can see the nations turn their swords into plowshares;

We can heal the world and make it a better place, as long as we have PEACE!
