i'm here to talk about success [Music] the first rule of success is to have a vision you see if you don't have a vision of where you go and if you don't have a goal where you go you drift around and you never end up anywhere i mean as you know i was born in 1947 in austria after the second world war so i was very fortunate that i stumbled under my vision and i didn't really like austria when i grew up i couldn't wait to get out of there i couldn't see myself becoming a
farmer or a worker in a factory 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 that i was born for something special for something unique for something big then one day i went to school i remember was 11 years old and they showed a documentary about america there they showed this documentary the huge skyscrapers the high rises the huge bridges the six lane freeways and all of this stuff in this emissive that's where
i want to be [Music] i don't want to be around here with these little farm houses and these little buildings i want to be in america one day after school i walked by a store in graz so i went inside and i looked around and then i saw a magazine there's a bodybuilding magazine that had reg park on the cover reg park was then a three-time mr universe and i saw him on the big screen as hercules i read that and i said to myself wow this is the blueprint for my life this is exactly
what i want to do i want to become a bodybuilding champion just like rage park i want to get into movies just like rich park and i want to make millions of dollars and be rich and famous just like reg park do you know how great it felt that i knew where i was going imagine the majority of people don't know where they're going i knew where i was going that i'm going to become this bodybuilding champion just like him so it was just a question of how do you do it i was so relieved
because when you have a goal when you have a vision everything becomes easy so people always ask me when they saw me in the gym in the pumping iron days they say why is it that you're working out so hard five hours a day six hours a day and you have always a smile on your face and i told people all the time i said because to me i'm shooting for gold in front of me is the mr universe title so every rep that i do gets me closer to accomplishing that chord to make this
core this vision turn into reality every single set that i do every repetition every weight that i lift will get me a step closer to turn the score in the 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 couldn't wait for the next exercise with the age of 20 i went to london and i wanted to miss the universe contest as the youngest mr universe ever and it was because i had a
goal [Applause] so let me tell you something visualizing your goal and going after it makes it fun you've got to have a purpose no matter what you do in life you've got to have a purpose [Music] 74 percent hate their job in america now there's not much different when you come to europe the majority of people don't like what they're doing because they're really not doing it because they didn't have a goal and they followed the score they just aimlessly drift around and then all of a sudden if there's a job opening so they get
their job because you have to work but then when you work it's a chore it's work it's not fun so if you think about only a quarter of the people really enjoy what they're doing in life that is unbelievable if you think about it so i felt so blessed that i knew what i was doing it's like a medical student that studies and knows he wants to become a doctor you know where to go and the same thing is also in politics i remember that in politics i had a very clear vision [Music] that i
will be the leader of california this is as far as i could go because i was not born in america so i could not run for president so being the governor of the fifth largest state of i should say the largest state the fifth largest economy in the world was for me really the ultimate title the ultimate accomplishment in politics so even though people came up to me and says why don't you go and run for something smaller you're never gonna make it i ran for governor and then two months later i became governor of
the state of california again because i had a very clear vision what i'm gonna do with california [Applause] 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 everything i ever did the thing that they heard out of people's mouth was that's impossible [Music] that can't be done or no that is exactly what i heard and of course i proved to the people that it can't be done so whenever someone said to me it can't be done i heard it can be done when
they said no i heard yes and when they said it's impossible i heard it is possible i'm a strong believer what nelson mandela said that everything is always impossible until someone does it well i'm gonna be the one who said to myself i'm gonna do it and i'm gonna show it to them maybe it has never been done before that's perfectly fine with me but i'm gonna do it and i did not listen to the naysayers it's all about the hard work that you put in i said i must have been bodybuilding i worked out
five six hours a day i'm gonna do the same thing now for acting and of course i went to college to study english i studied the accent removal acting classes and all of this stuff all day long i worked and i worked in the work [Music] and within a short period of time i made one movie called hercules in new york which of course went right into the toilet but it didn't discourage me i still had the same vision and then all of a sudden i did streets of san francisco i did stay hungry and
pumping on and the villain and then all of a sudden i was asked by dino de laurentiis at the universal studio to star in conan the barbarian and after i did conan the barbarian the director at the press conference said to the press the director was john millius he said to the press if we wouldn't have had arnold we would have had to build one so think about that the very body that they said can never be sold because the time is wrong 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 wouldn't have had his body we would have had to build one so all of a sudden my body became an asset not a liability and the same thing was with terminator after we were finished filming terminator jim cameron said to the press if arnold wouldn't have had that accent and talked like a machine i think the movie wouldn't have worked so think about that the body and the accent that they attacked
was an asset but i didn't listen to those losers i didn't listen to them at all it's just the reality of it is that you cannot 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 you in your mind you don't have to say but your mind to say this of you you saw what do you know [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] you
