Arnold Schwarzenegger: 5 Rules for Success Part 2

There was a very rich man who used to live in a city. He had all types of luxuries with him. One day he decided to show poor life to his son and planned a visit to a village. Both of them spent one night at the farm of a poor farmer. After spending that night, both of them came back to their home. Now Rich dad asked in a boastful tone " So son what you had learned about the poor life of the farmer ?".

Son replied" Dad we have only one dog but they have four, we have a pool to swim but they have rivers with them, we used to buy our food but they used to grow their eatables, we use Tubelights at night but they have stars, we have walls to give us protection but they have close friends, we have encyclopedia but they have Bhagavad Gita. Thank you so much dad for showing this type of excellent lifestyle." Similarly, we used to face so many hardships in our life but it all depends on us. Life will definitely throw lemons at you but it depends upon you how you react. The first option is to make a tasty lemonade and second is to weep over the sourness of the lemons. Arnold Schwarzenegger had also got so many challenges in his life but he decided to focus on self-improvement and overcame those challenges. Now we will further read five rules of success suggested by Arnold Schwarzenegger in multiple interviews.

3. Ignore the naysayers: It's very natural to have a very big vision and dreams but it all becomes impossible when we start listening to naysayers. Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in a very poor family of Austria and he started bodybuilding at the age of 15. His friends used to tell him, please do not work so hard on the gym as you will achieve nothing. They used to laugh at the aspirations of Arnold Schwarzenegger as he wanted to become a World champion. His friend told him " Bodybuilding is an American sport and you cannot reach America." But the determination of Arnold Schwarzenegger was very strong and he wanted to become just like Reg Park (World champion and later became Movie actor). After winning multiple Mr. Universe titles he decided to enter into Hollywood.

Again he faced so many questions from naysayers like " You have a German accent and people will not like you, your name cannot be pronounced, you have a very gigantic body". He started taking acting classes, English classes, and even accent removal classes. All of a sudden he got small TV shows and after working tirelessly in different shows, he got a major role in "Conan the Barbarian". His film director later told reporters that he was given a chance in a movie just because of his muscular body. His dialogue "I'll be back" from the movie Terminator became famous and David Cameron credited his crazy accent behind the popularity of his dialogue. By his dedication, he turned his liabilities into assets.
4. Work extremely hard: When Arnold Schwarzenegger came to the US, he was doing a 5-hour workout daily, working as a bricklayer in a construction company, taking language classes and attending college. He explained how the majority of people never want to fail and hence do not try new things. He suggested, "whatever you do, work, work and work".
Giving back to society: Arnold Schwarzenegger
5. Don't just take, Giveback: Always remember to look back when you are going up on the success ladder as there are millions of people who want your guidance. Give back to the society as "If not us then who?, If not now, when?".
