74% of Americans hate their job. Arnold Schwarzenegger says, “2% succeed and 98% don’t.” In the midst of these statistical realities, how does a person succeed.
In his viral YouTube speech shown above, Arnold outlines three primary ways to become a success:
- Vision
- Hard Work
- Ignore The Naysayers
This video has hit really close to home for many people. As of today’s date, 5,254,720 views have taken place in just over three months. The speech is inspiring, motivational, and provides easy takeaways anyone can use.
The following are are 15 Leadership Quotes From Arnold Schwarzenegger on Vision, Success, and Hard Work I captured from the video above:
- “The first rule of success is to have a vision. If you don’t have a vision of where you’re going, if you don’t have a goal of where you go, you drift around and never end up anywhere.”
- “I felt I was born for something special, something unique, something big.”
- “The majority of people don’t know where they are going. I knew where I was going.”
- “When you have a goal, when you have a vision, everything becomes easy.”
- “Every single set that I do, every repetition, every weight that I lift will get me a step closer to turn this goal into reality. So I couldn’t wait to do another 500 lb. squat.”
- “Visualizing your goal and going after it makes it fun.”
- “You’ve got to have a purpose no matter what you do in life.”
- “74% hate their job in America.”
- “Don’t listen to the nay-sayers.”
- “Everything I ever did, the think you heard out of people’s mouths was, ‘That is impossible.'”
- “When someone said to me, ‘It can’t be done’ I heard ‘I can be done.'”
- “Everything is impossible until it’s done.” – Nelson Mandella
- “Maybe it’s never been done before and that’s perfectly fine with me, but I’m going to do it.”
- “It’s all about the hard work you put in.”
- “The body and the accent that they attacked was an asset.”
