This is ridiculous. Some of these things may not apply to everyone. I'm not Arnold (obviously!) haha. We don't all have the same mind as Arnold Schwarzenegger but there is a HUGE amount of inspiration and admiration to be taken from some of the things he says here. I have never looked into Arnie's life all that much, but discovered this a few days ago. I am mind blown and have done my best to break down what his rules mean to me! I am more writing this to figure it out than trying to teach anyone a lesson pretending to be a wise man of the world who knows everything ;). I'll leave that to Arnie and just throw in my 2cents.
Trust Yourself / Something I think millions, even billions struggle with. To go into something with 100% faith in yourself is in itself an achievement I'd say!
Break Some Rules / I think really he means break the conventions, get outside the box and bring something new to the table. Push the limits of the norm. This makes people stand out. I suppose he could literally mean break rules, after all he did pump himself with steroids haha.
Don't Be Afraid to Fail / I have heard many great and successful men and women talk about how they have failed hundreds of times. What makes them great is the ability to view that failure as a lesson learned and point themselves in the right direction after. This is an incredible quality. Too often a simple slip in progress in anything can cause giving up completely!!
Ignore The Naysayers / Really ties in with number 1 I think. If you have blind faith in what you do, and know in your heart and mind what you are doing will take you where you want to go, ignore what others say!!
"Work Your Butt Off" / Explains itself. Want something? Go get it.
Give Something Back / Probably my personal favourite! The fact he wants to do all those things above to better himself and become number one AND do good for others really shows off what he is as a person. Lad.
G'night
