Arnold Schwarzenegger Leaves the Audience SPEECHLESS | One of the Best Motivational Speeches Ever

I'm here to talk about success. The first rule of success is to have a vision. If you don't have a vision of where you're going and if you don't have a goal of where you're going, you'll drift and n

ever

get there. end up anywhere, I mean, as you know, I was born in 1947 in Austria after World War II, so I was very fortunate to stumble upon my vision and I didn't really like Austria when I grew up. I couldn't wait to get there. Outside of there I couldn't see myself becoming a farmer or a factory worker or anything like that even though my parents wanted me to stay there and have a normal life, but that was their vision, not mine, my vision was totally different, I felt like I was born for something special for something unique for something big then one day I went to school I remember I was 11 years old and they showed a documentary about America there they showed this documentary the huge skyscrapers the skyscrapers the huge bridges the six lanes highways and all those things in this transmitter that's where I want to be I don't want to be around here with these little country houses and these little buildings I want to be in America one day after school I passed by a store in Graz So I went in and I looked around and Then I saw a magazine, there was a bodybuilding magazine that had Reg Park on the cover.

Reg Park was then Mr Universe three times and I saw him on the big screen as Hercules. I read that and I said to myself wow, this is the plan for my life. This is exactly what I want to do. I want to become a bodybuilding champion like Rage Park. I want to get into movies like Rich Park and I want to make millions of dollars. Rich and famous like Reg Park, do you know how great it feels to know where he was going? Imagine that most people don't know where they are going. I knew where I was going.

That I will become this bodybuilding. champion like him, so it was just a question of how do you do it. I felt very relieved because when you have a goal, when you have a vision,

ever

ything becomes easy, so people always ask me when they see me in the gym lifting weights. There are days that say why do you work so hard five hours a day, six hours a day and you always have a smile on your face? And I told people that all the time. I said it because for me I am going for gold in In front of me is the title of Mr Universe, so every repetition I do brings me closer to achieving that chord to make this core, this vision become a reality, every series I do, Every rep, every weight I lift, will bring me one step closer to turning the dial into reality, so I couldn't wait to do another 500-pound squat.

I couldn't wait to do another 500-pound bench press. I couldn't wait to do another 2,000 reps of sit-ups. I could not wait. for the next exercise when I was 20 years old I went to london and I wanted to miss the universe contest as the youngest mr universe of all time and it was because I had a goal so let me tell you something by visualizing your goal and pursuing it you achieve it fun you have to have a purpose no matter what you do in life you have to have a purpose 74 percent hate their job in the United States now it doesn't make much difference when you come to Europe most people don't like what they are doing because they don't really They are doing it because they didn't have a goal and they followed the scoreboard, they just wander aimlessly and then suddenly if there is a job vacancy they get their job because it has to be done. work, but when you work it's hard work, it's work, it's not fun, so if you think about it, only a quarter of people actually enjoy what they do in life, that's amazing if you think about it, so I I felt so blessed to know it.

What I was doing is like a medical student who studies and knows that he wants to be a doctor, you know where to go and the same thing also happens in politics. I remember that in politics I had a very clear vision that I will be the leader of California, this is what furthest I could go because I wasn't born in America, so I couldn't run for president, so being governor of the fifth largest state, I should say, the largest state, the fifth largest economy in the world, was for me really. the supreme title, the supreme achievement in politics, so even though people came up to me and said, why don't you run for something smaller?

You'll never make it, I ran for governor and two months later I became governor of the state of California again because I had a very clear vision of what I'm going to do with California, so that's rule number one, have a vision, rule number two is don't listen to the naysayers, don't listen to the naysayers, all I did What they heard from people's mouths was that it's impossible, it can't be done or it can't be done, that's exactly what I heard and Of course, I showed people that it can't be done, so every time someone told me that it can't be done. is done I heard it can be done when they said no I heard yes and when they said it's impossible I heard it's possible I'm a firm believer in what Nelson Mandela said that everything is always impossible until someone does it right I'm going to be the one to help me He said to myself: I'm going to do it and show you, maybe it's never been done before, that's perfectly fine with me, but I'm going to do it and I didn't listen to the naysayers. all about the hard work you put in I said I should have been a bodybuilder I worked out five six hours a day I'm going to do the same now for acting and of course I went to college to study English I studied accent removal acting classes and all that stuff The day I worked and worked at work and in a short period of time I made a movie called Hercules in New York which of course went straight to the toilet but it didn't discourage me.

I still had the same vision and suddenly I made the streets of San Francisco. I stayed hungry and kept pumping and the villain and suddenly Dino de Laurentiis at Universal Studio asked me to star in Conan the Barbarian. and after making conan the barbarian, the director at the press conference told the press that the director was john millius, he told the press that if we hadn't had

arnold

, we would have had to build one, so think about that , the same body that they said can never be sold because it's not the time a few years later I'm doing Conan the Barbarian and it was the number one hit at the box office when it came out in the summer of '82.

Think about that and the director says if we hadn't had his body, we would have had to build one, so suddenly my body became an asset, not a liability, and the same thing happened with Terminator after we finished filming Terminator, Jim Cameron told the press if Arnold He wouldn't have had that accent and would have spoken like a machine. I don't think the movie would have worked. So think about the body and accent they attacked was an advantage, but I didn't listen to those losers. I didn't listen. For them, the reality is that you can't listen to the naysayers, so this is a very important lesson for all of you, so when someone says no, this is a stupid idea, in your mind you don't have to say it.

But your mind when you said this about yourself saw what do you know?
