I'm here to talk about success.

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 onto 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 I was 11 years old,

and they showed a documentary about America.

There they showed in this documentary the huge skyscrapers,

the high-rises, the huge bridges,

the six-lane freeways, and all of this stuff,

and I said to myself,

that's where I want to be.

I don't want to be around here with these little farmhouses 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.

I saw 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 Reg Park.

I want to get into movies just like Reg 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 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 lift will get me a step closer to turn this goal 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 couldn't wait for the next exercise.

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.

So let me tell you something,

visualizing a 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.

74% 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 this goal.

they just aimlessly drift around and then all of a sudden there's a job opening so they get that 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 that I will be the leader of California.

That's 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,

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 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.

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 I heard out of people's mouth was, that's impossible.

That can't be done.

100

Or no. That is exactly what I heard.

101

And of course I proved to the people that it can't be done.

102

So whenever someone said to me,

103

it It can't be done.

104

I heard it can be done.

105

When they said no, I heard yes.

106

And when they said it's impossible,

107

I heard it is possible.

108

I'm a strong believer of what Nelson Mandela said,

109

that everything is always impossible until someone does it.

110

Well, I'm going to be the one,

111

I said to myself, I'm going to do it and I'm going to show it to them.

112

Maybe it has never been done before.

113

That's perfectly fine with me.

114

But I'm gonna do it.

115

And I did not listen to the naysayers.

116

It's all about the hard work that you put in.

117

I said, I'm gonna say,

118

if in bodybuilding I worked out five,

119

six hours a day, I'm gonna do the same thing now for acting.

120

And of course I went to college to study English.

121

I studied the accent removal,

122

acting classes, and all of this stuff, all day long.

123

I worked and I worked and I worked.

124

And within a short period of time,

125

I made one movie called Hercules in New York,

126

which of course went right into the toilet.

127

But it didn't discourage me.

128

I still had the same vision.

129

And then all of a sudden I did Streets of San Francisco.

130

I did Stay Hungry and Pumping Iron and The Villain.

131

And then all of a sudden I was asked by Dino De Laurentiis

132

and the Universal Studio to star in Conan the Barbarian.

133

And after I did Conan the Barbarian,

134

the director at the press conference said to the press,

135

the director was John Milius,

136

he said to the press,

137

if we wouldn't have had Arnold,

138

we would have had to build one.

139

So think about that.

140

The very body that they said can never be sold because the time is wrong,

141

A few years later, I'm doing Conan the Barbarian

142

and it was the number one hit at the box office when he came out in the summer of 82.

143

Think about that.

144

And the director says, if we wouldn't have had his body,

145

we would have had to build one.

146

So all of a sudden,

147

my body became an asset, not a liability.

148

And the same thing was with Terminator after we were finished filming Terminator,

149

Jim Cameron said to the press,

150

if Arnold wouldn't have had that accent and talked like a machine,

151

I think the movie wouldn't have worked.

152

So think about that.

153

The body and the accent that they attacked was an asset.

154

But I didn't listen to those losers.

155

I didn't listen to them at all.

156

It's just the reality of it is that you cannot listen to the naysayers.

157

So this is a very important lesson for all of you.

158

So when someone says, no,

159

this is a stupid idea,

160

you in your mind, you don't have to say it,

161

but in your mind, just say to yourself, you, you asshole.
