- People ask me all the time, what is the secret to success? And I always tell them, well, the short version is, you got to have a 22-inch biceps.
And you gotta be able to kill predators with your bare hands and of course you got to have this charming Austrian accent.
That's a given.
The long version is that I actually always had five rules.
You don't need to be a bodybuilding champion, you don't need to want to be an action hero or anything like that.
If you want to excel in whatever you do, those rules are for you.
So my first rule is find your vision and follow it.
If you don't have a goal, if you don't have a vision, you just drift around and you're not gonna be happy.
I grew up after the Second World War, Austria right along with Germany lost the Second World War.
There was of course depression, there was a terrible economic situation.
I wanted to get out of there, I wanted to escape.
And luckily one day in school I watched a documentary about America.
I knew exactly that is where I wanted to end up.
The question was just how do I get there? How do I get to America? No one had the money to travel or anything.
But one day I was fortunate enough to see a bodybuilding magazine and on the cover was this very muscular guy.
Mr. Universe becomes Hercules star, his name was Reg Park.
I read the article as fast as I could, learning about how he grew up in Leeds in England, poor.
And how he trained five hours a day, every single day and trained and trained and trained so then he finally became Mr. Great Britain.
And then became Mr. Universe, and then he won a second Mr. Universe title and a third Mr. Universe title and then all of a sudden he landed in Rome in Cinecitta doing Hercules movies.
And as I read, I became more and more certain I had that vision very clearly laid out.
To be a champion on that same stage where he won the Mr. Universe, and then to move to America, then get into movies.
From that moment on, everything that I did, no matter how hard I had to work or how much I had to struggle, it didn't matter 'cause I knew what the purpose was and I found my passion.
Always discover your vision and the rest will follow. Number second, my second rule is never ever think small.
You have to go and shoot for the stars.
I didn't just think about being in movies, no I wanted to be a movie star.
I wanted to have above the title billing.
I wanted to become the highest paid entertainer, I basically wanted to be another John Wayne.
What's wrong with that? Never think small, think big.
My third rule is ignore the naysayers.
I think it is natural that when you have a big vision and big dreams and you have big goals that people are gonna say around you I don't think it can be done.
I think it's impossible.
I mean, it started right away when I was 15 years old and I became a bodybuilder.
Right after it happened, I said I want to be a world champion in bodybuilding, I want to be Mr. Universe.
They immediately said, are you crazy? Bodybuilding is an American sport, forget about it.
It's nuts.
And then when I wanted to go into show business after I won 13 world championship titles in bodybuilding, I said I want to be like Reg Park.
I want to be a Hercules, I want to get into movies.
Well, I tell you when I met those agents and managers, their reaction was (laughs), oh Arnold, that is so funny.
(laughs) You want to be what, a leading man? Oh come on, I mean look first of all let's start with your body.
You're gigantic, you're like a monster.
And then your accent, oh it gives me the chills just listening to your German bullshit, come on now.
Have you ever seen an international movie star with a German accent? It doesn't happen, forget about that.
And then your name, what is it, Schwartzen, Schnitzel or something like that? People are gonna storm the theater and the movie houses because Schwartzenschnitzel is starring in a movie.
Oh yeah, I can see that already.
Imagine that, everywhere I turned they said no, it won't happen, it's not gonna happen and forget about it.
Luckily I did not listen.
I started taking acting classes, English classes, even accent removal classes.
I ran around all day saying lines like a fine wine grows on a vine.
All of a sudden I got a little break, all of a sudden I got a TV show.
A little part, then another little part, and then Pumping Iron and Stay Hungry and then of course I landed the big role as Conan the Barbarian so finally I got the big big break.
And you know what was so interesting about it was the director said that at the press conference if we wouldn't have had Schwarzenegger with those muscles we would have had to build one.
And then when I did Terminator, James Cameron said the I'll be back line became one of the most famous movie lines in history because of Arnold's crazy accent because he sounded like a machine! So as you see, everything that the naysayers said was a liability became an asset.
Ignore the naysayers.
The fourth rule is work your ass off.
You never want to fail because you didn't work hard enough.
And it doesn't matter in what area you're in.
No pain, no gain.
Listen, when I came to the United States, I remember that I trained five hours a day every day and I was managing a construction business and I was a bricklayer and I went to college also.
And I took acting classes from eight o'clock at night to 12 o'clock midnight, every day I did that.
Work your butt off, that's what I always believe no matter what you do, work, work, work.
My fifth and last rule is don't just take, give something back.
Tear down that mirror that makes you always look at yourself and you will be able to look beyond that mirror and you will see the millions and millions of people that need your help.
And this is why I try to take every opportunity that occurred to give something back.
I started training Special Olympians, I started after school programs for the most vulnerable children, for inner-city children to make them be able to say no to drugs, no to gangs, and no to violence.
We all can create change whether it is in our neighborhood or in our local schools 'cause the bottom line is it is up to us.
Have a vision, think big, ignore the naysayers, work your ass off, and give back and change the world.
Because if not us, who? If not now, when?
人们总是问我,成功的秘诀是什么?我总是告诉他们,最快的方式是你必须有一个22英寸的二头肌。
你必须能够以你的赤手空拳杀死掠夺者当然你必须拥有这个迷人的奥地利口音。
这是天生的。
真正成功的秘诀,实际上是有五条规条。
你不需要成为一位健美冠军,你不需要成为动作明星或类似的东西。
如果你想在你做的任何事情上表现出色,这些规条你要记住。
那么,我的第一条规条是找到你的愿景并遵循它。
如果你没有目标,如果你没有愿景,你只是行尸走肉而且你不会快乐。
我在第二次世界大战后出生,那时奥地利与德国联盟在第二次世界大战中战败。
导致经济衰退,那时的经济状况真的很恶劣。
我想摆脱困境,我想离开这里。
很幸运的,有一天在学校我看了一部纪录片关于美国的。
我确切知道这就是我想去的地方。
问题是我该如何去到那里?我该如何去到美国?那时,没人有钱可以旅行或做其他事情。
但有一天我很幸运的在健美杂志的封面上看见一位肌肉非常发达的男士曾获得环球先生并成为“大力士”电影的演员他的名字是RegPark。
我赶快地阅读有关文章,了解他在英格兰利兹成长历程和贫穷的身世以及他如何每天五小时的训练,每一天都在训练除了训练还是训练然后他终于成为英国先生。
接着成为环球先生,过后他再赢得第二个环球先生称号和第三个宇宙先生称号然后他就在罗马电影城拍摄"大力士"电影。
当我在阅读时,我越来越确定我的愿景很明确是成为同一个舞台上的冠军在那里他赢得了环球先生,然后搬到美国,然后进入电影圈。
从那一刻起,我所做的一切,不管我需多么努力地工作或更多的辛苦,我都无所谓因为我知道我人生的目地以及我的热忱。
总是先找出你的愿景其余的将随之而来。
第二,我的第二条规条不要只想做小事。
你必须把目标设高然后努力达成。
我不只是想在电影演戏而已,不,我想成为一名电影明星。
我想我的名字是电影的号召力。
我想成为收入最高的艺人,我基本上想成为另一位约翰韦恩。
(20世纪美国电影圈泰斗)那有什么问题?不要只想做小事,想做大事吧!我的第三条规则是无视你身边的悲观主义者。
我认为这很自然,当你有一个伟大的愿景伟大的梦想和大目标时他们会在你身边说“我不认为这是可以做到的”。
“我认为这是不可能的”。
我的意思是,当我15岁时我成了一名健美运动员。
过后,我说我想成为健美的世界冠军,我想成为环球先生。
他们马上说,你疯了吗?健美是美国人的运动,忘记它吧。
这是疯狂的。
然后当我想要进入演艺圈在我赢得13个世界健美冠军头衔后我说我想要像RegPark一样。
我想成为一名大力士,我想进入电影圈。
好吧,我告诉你,当我见那些经纪人和经理时,他们的反应是(笑),哦,阿诺,那太好笑了。
你想演什么角色,领衔主演吗?哦,我的意思是,首先让我们从你的身体开始。
你太巨大了,你就像一个怪物。
然后你的口音,让我打了一个冷颤听听你的德国废话,现在来吧。
你有见过一位国际影星操着德国口音吗?它不会发生的,忘记这一切吧。
再看,你的名字叫什么,Schwartzen炸肉排吗?或类似的东西?人们会到剧院和电影院捧场只因为Schwartzenschnitzel这名字所主演的电影吗哦,是的,我已经看到了。
想象一下,当你要前进时,他们就会对你说不能,这是不会发生,忘记它吧。
幸运的是我没有听他们说。
我开始报名表演班,英语班,甚至上口音消除班我整天努力的练习讲话,如葡萄藤上生长着美酒。
有时我短暂的休息,有时我需上一个电视节目。
一个接着一个,然后演了2部电影(PumpingIronandStayHungry)最终,我开始担纲了一个重要的角色演了“野蛮人科南”成功得到了一个很大的突破。
你知道是什么对此很有意思吗?是导演在新闻发布会上所说的话如果我们没有施瓦辛格的那些肌肉我们将不得不建立一个。
然后当我演终结者时,詹姆斯卡梅隆说”我会回来的“这一句话将在电影史上名流千史终因阿诺他那疯狂的口音像机器!所以你看,每次悲观主义者说的负面话最终都成了资产。
无视那些悲观主义者。
第四条规条是非常努力地工作。
你永远不想失败是因为你不够努力。
无论你在哪个领域一分耕耘,一分收获。
听着,当我来到美国时,我记得我每天训练五个小时同时还要打理建筑业务我是一名瓦工而且也上了大学。
我报名了表演课,从晚上八点开始到午夜十二点,我每天都重复这样做。
非常努力地工作,这是我一直相信的不管你做什么,工作,工作,工作。
我的第五条也是最后一条规条是不要只会拿,回馈一些东西。
撕下那个总是照着自己的镜子你将能够看见镜子以外的世界你会看到数百万和数百万人需要你的帮助。
这就是我努力抓住每一个机会来回馈的原因。
我开始训练特殊奥运选手,我为弱势群体开办了一些课后课程住在城市的孩子让他们对毒品说不不加入帮派,不付诸暴力。
不管是不是我们的邻舍,我们都可以给予改变或是我们当地的学校因为底线是取决于我们。
有愿景,想做大事,无视悲观主义者,非常努力的工作,回馈和改变这世界。
如果不是我们来做,那么是谁来做呢?如果不是现在,那是什么时候呢?
