I wanted to be the best body builder of all time. Dig deep down and ask yourselves "who do you want to be?" Not what but who. I'm talking about figuring out for yourselves what makes you happy. You have to think outside the box. That is what I believe. After all, what is the point of being on this Earth if all you want to do is liked by everyone and avoid trouble. We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules! Not the law but break the rules. I remember when I was finished with the body building career, I wanted to get into acting. I wanted to be a star; in films. Everyone had the same line: "It can't be done. Just look at your body! You have this huge, monstrous body. It's overly developed; it doesn't fit in the movies!" But, you know, I didn't listen to all this. These were their rules. I was convinced I could do it... and then I got a big break in Conan the Barbarian. Trust yourself no matter how or what anyone else thinks. And then the director said "if we didn't have Schwarzenegger we would have to build one!" Then when I did Terminator, "I'll be back!" one of the most famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy accent! Just shows you never listen to that you can't do something. Don't be afraid to fail. Anything I've ever attempted, I was always willing to fail. Don't be afraid of making decisions. You can't be paralyzed with fear or failure or you will never push yourself. You keep pushing because you believe in yourself and in your vision and you know it's the right thing to do and success will come so don't be afraid to fail. I mean, how many times have you heard "you can't do this" or "you can't do that" and "its never been done before." So pay no attention to the people that say it can't be done. If I would have listened to the naysayers, I'd still be in the Austrian Alps yodeling! I would never have come to America. I always listen to myself and say "yes you can." You never want to fail because you didn't work hard enough. Work your butt off. I always believed in leaving no stone unturned. No pain, no gain. When you're out there partying, horsing around... someone out there, at the same time, is working hard. Someone is getting smarter and someone is winning, just remember that. You can't climb the latter of success with your hands in your pockets. Thank you to chaff5 for the writing down the words to this speech
