Arnold Schwarzenegger - Why Do You Want To Be Normal (Motivational Speech)

this is the blueprint for my life I couldn't see myself becoming a farmer or a worker in a factory or anything like that I felt that that was born for something special for something unique for something big you have to be brave you have to be tough you have to have the discipline to follow so way back when I started training I visualized what my body should look like to be the best in the world enormous positive attitudes or my life men whatever I wanted I knew I wanted for a reason because whatever I started I could see as a finished product there was never one negative impulse in the last 15 years you can you imagine you have to a doubt that you maybe don't make it maybe I will be a Miss Universe that's the historical saying you got to have faith in your vision and here's the one the judges find most pleasing Arnold Schwarzenegger of Santa Monica California born 29 years ago in the Austrian Alps the son of a local police chief he spent his boyhood at skiing boxing great lifting soccer a lifetime athlete is putting on the way to becoming a millionaire my parents wanted me to have a normal life Sparta beggars vision paid off in titles five times mr. universe six times mr. Olympia receive if you don't have a vision of where you're going if you don't have a goal where you go you drift around and you never end up anywhere it's like you can have the best ship in the world you can have the best airplane in the world if the pilot or the cab the way to go he would just drift around he will not end up anywhere almost like in a home base in ten been enhanced his vision in front of me all the time then could go a student the kind ofin mind as a sculptor has because his fault has to do the same thing here's the book of his odd to say well it's some other proportion I have to take a little bit away he oh I have to put one here to make it get in the proportion and the saying the bodybuilder has to do with his body you have to have tunnel vision and you got to have blinders on and not to see anything than this on the left and on the right side and just really focus keep your eye on the ball you have to focus on the thing that you really want to be the best at and that's what I did because you cannot be good in everything and you cannot do everything and at the same time feel champion in one thing there is no such thing so I decided I want to be a champion I decided that I wanted to go all-out my picture being said in one of his interviews when they said you are unbelievably the greatest basketball player of all times I mean tell me about that they says well you're just mentioned as successes but he says for me to become the greatest basketball player I missed a thousand shots when I was playing basketball the NBA games so during this games that he was so successful he missed 9000 shots does it make him a failure no he is one of the greatest Costco players of all times but he failed 9,000 times to get it we all fail we all have lost us this is OK and this is why I say don't be worried about losing because when you afraid of losing then you get frozen it's ok to fail let's just go all out and give it everything that you've got that's what it is all about so don't be afraid to fail it is very important that you don't listen to the naysayers because in every step of the way when you make decisions like I want to be a bodybuilding champion of the world people say this is impossible decision Americans point the seminar when I went in they wanted to be in the movies to say if an accent it's never gonna happen that we never became a leading man when you have an accent you have a huge party weigh 250 pounds he was like a monster imagine you go from studio executives the studio executive from agent agent for managers manager and they all said exactly the same thing but that's very encouraging isn't it but you know something I didn't give a shit I believed that I can be a leading man I believe that there could be another TV smooth one of the Burt Reynolds or another Warren Beatty or whatever those characters for Charles Bronson and so on I believe that it 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 learn from what I learned in sports in my case in bodybuilding it's all about the hard work that I put in a cinema safe in bodybuilding of girls out five six hours a day I'm gonna do the same thing now for and of course I went to college to study English acting classes and all this stuff all day long I work and I work in the world even in politics whether they ran for governor says are you crazy you an actor you're businessman I mean it's you know the politician you should start to be a mayor first and maybe a Assemblyman or senator but not to be run for governor so I never listen to the naysayers because I believed what the Nelson Mandela said that everything is always impossible until someone does it 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 I can tell you in order to be complete and that's where you really have a 100% chance at being successful when you have a complete situation that means that you have developed your body leading your health your strength your energy and all that makes you much more positive right because that's when you wake up when you feel strong and you feel fit did you write the bicycle in the morning you know the whole world looks much more bright so that the training of the body extremely important the training of the mind extremely important this why I say to people I say you got to educate yourself you can't delete something every day you got to learn a new language you got to just always improve and look at what can you do to improve your business or your life in general so dude it will develop the mind and then you develop the spiritual side in the sword extremely important also so if we put those three things together we have total completion 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 fr and I get picked up and I have something else there that was they would protect me and that's not good because people perform better when there is no safety net people perform better in sports and everything else if you don't have a plan B I've never ever had a plan B I say I made a full commitment that I'm gonna go and be a party building champion I made a full commitment that I'm gonna be in America I made a full commitment that I'm gonna get in the show business and I'm going to be a leading man no matter what it takes I will do the work I would do the work over and over and over and Dilla get it in 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 are 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 you you
