Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Advice Will Leave You SPEECHLESS 2.0 (MUST WATCH)

you got to have a purpose have a vision I was very fortunate that I stumbled on my vision I mean as you know I was born in 1947 in Austria after the second world war 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 my father wanted me to become a police officer like he was my mother wanted

me just to stay there and marry a girl with the name of Heidi hopefully and have a bunch of kids and run around like the fap family in a sound of music 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 I was 11 years old and they showed a documentary about America and there they showed in this documentary the huge skyscrapers the highrises the huge Bridges the six Lane freeways

the huge cars with the wings sticking out and all of this stuff and I said myself that's where I want to be I I don't want to be a around here with these little farmh houses and these little buildings and everything is old I want to be in America one day after school I walked by a store in grad which was called Bru and it was the only store that really sold kind of American stuff so one day they had jeans there American jeans and then they had the bull Walker and then had an expander

and some barell and some dumbbells and an exercise bench in a window so I went inside and I looked around and I looked at this stuff and then I saw magazine I saw a bodybuilding magazine that had reg park on the cover re Park was then a three-time Mr Universe and I saw him on a big screen as Hercules and on a cover it said how re Park Mr Universe became the her cules star that's what the cover story was all about so I looked at the cover and I said myself I got to get

this magazine so I bought the magazine I took it home and I read it over and over from the front page to the back it had everything in there how he trained how he was working out in leads England in a factory town how he worked out every day for 3 4 hours and became the strongest man of Europe and how he won Mr Europe Mr the Great Britain and then eventually Mr Universe and how he won the second Mr Universe and the third Mr Universe and how he was discovered to play the starring role

in 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 re Park I want to get into movies just like R Park and I want to make millions of dollars and be rich and famous just like re Park 74% hate their job in America now there is 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 this goal they just aimlessly drift around and then all of a sudden they there's a job opening so they get that job because you have to work but then when you work it's a jawer 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 so I knew where to go 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 5 hours a day 6 hours a day and you have always a smile on your face the others are working out just as hard as you do and they look sour in the face why is that and they told people all the time I said because to me I'm sh for a goal in front of me is the Mr

Universe title so every rep that I do gets me closer to accomplishing that goal to make this goal this Vision turn into reality every single set that I do every repetition every weight that I live will get me a step closer to turn this goal into reality so I couldn't wait to do another 500b squat I couldn't wait to do another 500b bench press I couldn't wait to do another 2,000 reps of sit-ups I couldn't wait for the next exercise for the next half hour of posing and all the kind of things that you have

to do to be a champion and at the age of 20 with the age of 20 I went to London and I won the Mr Universe contest as the youngest Mr Universe ever and it was because I had a goal visualizing your goal and going after it makes it fun you got to have a purpose no matter what you do in life you got to have a purpose they told me this and your accent even if you reduce all your body weight and everything and have a normal body your accent I said your accent I

mean it will go give people a Goosebumps with the German accent it will get people to creeps they will get scared he says no one in Hollywood ever has become a leading man that had an accent doesn't happen people in America want to hear their actors talk like John Wayne or like Bert Reynolds or like Fint Eastwood don't listen to the naysayers everything I ever did the thing that I heard out of people's mouth was that's impossible that can't be done or no I remember when I want to be a bodybuilding Champion including my parents

and everyone else around me said this is impossible why don't you become a ski Champion that's what they do in Austria or bicycle Champion that do some track and field you can be a bodybuilding Champion that is exactly what I heard and of course I Pro 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 when you start doubting yourself that's very dangerous because now

what you're basically saying is is that if my plan doesn't work I have a fall back plan I have a plan B and that means that you start thinking about Plan B and every thought that you put into Plan B you're taking away now that thought and that energy from plan a and it's very important to understand that we function better if there is no safety net because Plan B becomes a safety net it says that if I fail then I fall and I get picked up and I have something else there that will that

will protect me and that's not good because people perform better when there's no safety net people perform better in sports and everything else if you don't have a plan B I'm telling you I've never ever had a plan B I say I made a full commitment that I'm going to go and be a bodybuilding Champion I made a full commitment that I'm going to be in America I made a full commitment that I'm going to get in the show business and I'm going to be a leading man no matter what it takes out I would

do the work I would do the work over and over and over until I get it and the same was in politics and everything like that so to me it is very dangerous to have a plan B because you're cutting yourself off from the chance of really succeeding and the reason one of the main reasons why people want to have a plan B is because they have worried about failing what is if I fail then I don't have anything else well let me tell you something don't be afraid of failing because there's nothing wrong with

failing you have to fail in order to climb that ladder there's no one that doesn't fail Michael Jordan said in one of his interviews when they said you're unbelievable you're the greatest basketball player of all times I mean tell me about that and he says well you're just mentioning the successes but it says for me to become the greatest basketball player I missed 9,000 shots when I was playing basketball at the NBA games so during the games that he was so successful he missed 9,000 shots does it make him a failure no he one of

the greatest basketball players of all times but he failed 9,000 th000 times do you get it we all fail it's okay what is not the case that when you fail you stay down whoever stays down is a loser and winners will fail and get up fail and get up fail and get up you always get up that is a winner that is a winner I failed in bodybuilding I've I lost bodybuilding competitions I lost powerlifting competitions I lost weightlifting competitions I had movies that went in the toilet and that were terrible and got the worst

reviews and in politics I remember I had many of the initiatives on the ballot and we lost my approval rating in California went down to 28% and then it went back up again and the won again the governor ship hey we all lose we all have lost us this is okay and this is why I say don't be worried about losing because when you're afraid of losing then you get Frozen you get stiff you're not relaxed you got to be in order to perform well in anything if it's in boxing or if it is on

your job or with your thinking is only happening when you relax so relax it's okay to fail let's just go all out and give it everything that you got that's what it is all about so don't be afraid to fail I believed that I can be a leading man I believed that I could be another cleen Eastwood or another birt Reynolds or another Warren batty or whatever those characters were Charles Bronson and so on I beli that there could be those people I said there's enough room on that ladder that I can fit up there

and I look back again and learned from what I learned in sports in my case in bodybuilding it's all about the hard work that you put in and after I did Conan the Barbarian the director at the press conference said to the Press he said to the Press if we wouldn't have had honored we would have had to build one the very body that they said can never be sold because the time is wrong a few years later I'm doing con 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 talk 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 [Applause] asset but I didn't listen to

those losers I didn't listen to them at all work your ass off there is no magic Bill there is no magic out there you cannot get around you have to work and work and work and Muhammad Ali worked his butt off and I saw it firsthand and I remember that there was a sports Rider that was there in the gym when he was working out and he was doing sit and they asked him how many situps do you do and he said I don't start counting until it hurts that is working hard and so you

can't get around the hard work it doesn't matter who it is as a matter of fact I believe what Ted Turner said work like hell and advertise work like hell go to bed and early early to rise work like hell and advertise so you work your ass off and then you let the world know about your work that's what it is all about let people know if you have a company if you have a movie if you do a sports work your ass off but then advertise and let everyone know imagine if you would work

on a business on some business that you want to develop every day for an hour imagine how further along you will go and get so it drives me nuts because we have when people say we don't have the time we have 24 hours a day we sleep 6 hours a day so it gives you still 18 hours the average person Works around 8 to 10 hours so let's assume it's 10 hours so if you have 8 hours left then you travel around an hour a day maybe 2 hours a day so now you have still

6 hours left so what do you do it is 6 hours but you can see how much time there is available if you organize your day so you got to work hard I mean let me tell you something when I went to America I went to college I went and worked out 5 hours a day and I was working on construction because in those days in bodybuilding there was no money we didn't I didn't have the money for food supplements or anything so I had to go to work so I worked on construction I went

to college I worked out in the gym and at night from 8:00 at night to 12: midnight I went to acting class four times a week say I did all of that there was not one single minute that I wasted and this is why I'm standing here today [Music] [Applause] [Music]
