播放量破亿！施瓦辛格的超燃英文演讲来袭：不要害怕失败！
你需要有一个目标，无论你在生活中做什么。你不能逃避，你必须努力训练，努力工作。 当人们说他们没有足够的时间的时候，我感到抓狂，每天花45分钟做某事去提高，无论是身体上的还是心理上的，想象一下你每天花一个小时去读历史，一年365天你能学到多少？
我讨厌备用计划，每一次你想备用计划，你的想法和能量会从你的计划和目标上分散。 在体育和其他事情上没有备选计划的人表现得更好。人们喜欢备用计划的真正原因是害怕失败。 不要害怕失败，因为当你害怕失败，畏缩不前，你会变得僵硬，不放松，为了在所有的事情上都表现好。成功只会发生在你放松的时候，所以放松吧，失败没事。 当你开始怀疑自己的时候，那是非常危险的。
这是一段影帝阿诺·施瓦辛格（Arnold Schwarzenegger）在2018年末的一次演讲中的励志名言。他在演讲中分享了自己职业生涯中的故事，关于人生和成功的感悟，用自己走过的路告诉我们究竟是什么让他走到了现在的位置，从一个身无分文的外来移民者，到一名卓有成就的演员、政治家、商人乃至打造了一个现实版的美国梦。

I went to college, I went and worked out five hours a day. And I was working on construction, because in those days in body-building, there was no money. I didn’t have the money for food supplements or anything. So I had to go to work. So I worked in construction, I went to college and worked out in the gym. And at night from 8 o’clock at night to 12 midnight. I went to acting class four times a week. I did all that. There was not one single minute that I wasted. And this is why I standing here today.
在大学里，我每天训练五个小时。同时还在工地里干活，因为那时候做健美的根本没有钱。我没有钱去买食物或其它别的东西，我不得不去工作。我在工地里干活，去大学的健身房健身，从晚上八点一直到午夜十二点，每周还去上四次表演课。我做了所有的这些事情，没有浪费任何一分钟，这就是我今天能够站在这里的原因。
With the age of 20 I went to London, and I won the Mr. Universe Contest as the youngest Mr. Universe ever and it was because I had a goal. You see, if you don't have a vision of where you go, and if you don't have a goal where you go, you drift around and you never end up anywhere.
20岁的时候我去了伦敦,赢了宇宙先生的比赛，成为史上最年轻的宇宙先生。这是因为我一直有这样一个目标。如果你对于自己要去向哪没有任何想法，不知道自己的目标是什么，你将四处漂泊没有终日。
74% of people hate their job in America. The majority of people don't like what they're doing, because they're not doing it, because they didn't have a goal and then followed this goal. They're just aimlessly drift around and there's a job opening, so they get their job because they need to work. But then when you work, it's a chore. It's work. It's not fun. So if you think about it, only a quarter of people really enjoy what they're doing in life.
74%的美国人讨厌他们的工作，大多数人并不喜欢他们正在做的事。因为他们根本不是真正地在“做”，因为他们没有目标也没有努力朝着它奋斗，他们只是毫无目的地漂泊。遇到一份现成的工作时，他们就拿到了一份工作仅仅是出于需要。但真的开始做时却发现它只是乏味琐事，只是工作，毫无趣味。所以你想想看，只有四分之一的人真正在生活中享受他们的工作啊。
So people always ask me, when they saw me in the gym in the pumping iron days, they say why is it that you're working out so hard, five hours a day six hours a day, and you have always a smile on your face? The others are working out just as hard as you do look sour in the face, why is that？
人们经常问我,当他们看到我在健身房里没日没夜地健身时,他们问我为什么这么辛苦地锻炼,一天五六个小时,脸上还一直挂着微笑？那些和你一样辛苦的人,他们的脸上却写满了痛苦，为什么会这样？
I told people all the time, because to me, I am shooting for a goal. In front of me is the Mr. Universe title. So, every rep that I do gets me close to accomplishing the goal. To make this goal this vision turning into reality. Every single set that I do, every repetition of weight that I lift, will get me a step close to turning this goal into a reality.
我每次都这样告诉他们，因为对我来说，我在追逐目标。在我面前的是宇宙先生的称号，所以我做的每一次训练都让我离实现目标又近了一点，让这个目标这个愿景变成现实。我每做的一组练习，我每举起的一次重量，会使我离把目标转化为现实又更近一步。
So, I couldn't wait to do another 500 pound squat; I couldn't wait to do another 500 pound bench press; I couldn't wait to do another 2,000 sit-ups; I couldn't wait for the next exercise. So let me tell you something. Visualizing your goal and going after it makes it fun. You got to have a purpose no matter what you do in life, you got to have the purpose.
所以我等不及想做下一次500磅的深蹲，我等不及想做下一次500磅的卧推，我等不及想做下一次2000个仰卧起坐，我等不及想开始下一次训练。所以我告诉你，设想你的目标并且追寻它真的很有趣，你需要一个目标，无论你在生活中做什么，你必须要有一个目标。
I hate Plan B, because we have so many doubters. We have so many of those people that say “no” and “you can't do it” “it's impossible”. But when you start doubting yourself, that's very dangerous, Because now what you're basically saying is that if my plan doesn't work, I have a fallback plan, I have a plan B. And that means you’re start thinking about Plan B. Every thought that you put into Plan B, you're taking away that thought and that energy from plan A.
我讨厌备选计划，因为我们身边有太多持怀疑态度的人，我们身边有太多的人会说“不”“你做不了的”“绝对不可能”的人。但如果你自己也怀疑自己时，那真的很危险。因为这基本上就等于在说如果我的计划没有成功，我还有一条退路，我还有一个备选计划。这就意味着你已经开始想备选计划。每当你开始想备选计划，你就已经消耗了可以放在最优计划里的想法和能量。
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 I fall and I get picked up and I have something else there that will protect me.”and that's not good. Because people perform better when there's no safety net. People perform better in sports and in everything else if you don't have a plan B.
重要的是，你必须明白没有安全网时我们反而会表现得更好。备选计划就是那张安全网，它在安慰你：“如果我失败摔倒重新开始，还有可以保护我的东西。”这种想法并不好，因为如果没有安全网，人们往往会做得更好。不论是运动领域还是其它事情上，人们没有安全网时会表现得更好。
I'm telling you I've never ever had a plan B. I made a full commitment that I'm gonna go be a body-building champion. I made a full commitment that I'm gonna be in America. I made a full commitment that I'm gonna get into show business and I'm going to be a leading man. No matter what it takes I will do the work. I will do the work over and over and over until I get it. And the same is 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.
我告诉你们我从来没有过备选计划。我竭尽全力去做健美冠军；我竭尽全力留在美国；我竭尽全力进入演艺圈并成为领军人物。无论代价是什么，我都会努力去做。我一次又一次地努力直到获得成功。在政界也一样，其它所有的事情都一样。所以，对我来说有备选计划是很危险的，因为它将会阻断你获得真正成功的机会。
And the reason one of the main reasons why people want to have a plan B is because they are worried about failing. What 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. There's no one that doesn't fail.
人们想要备选计划的主要原因之一在于因为他们害怕失败。万一我失败了一无所有怎么办？那么，让我告诉你，不要害怕失败，因为失败没有错。你必须失败才能开始攀登成功的阶梯，没有人不失败。
Michael Jordan said in one of his interviews when they said “you're unbelievable”“you the greatest basketball player of all times, and he says “well, you just mentioned the successes”,but he says “For me, to become the greatest basketball player, I missed 9,000 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 basketball player of all times, but he failed 9,000 times! Do you get it? We all fail! It's okay.
迈克尔乔丹在一次采访中，听到自己被誉为“不可思议的”“有史以来最伟大的篮球运动员”时他说：“你只提到了成功”。他接着说“对我来说，成为最伟大的球员之前我在NBA球场上投丢了9000次。”所以，在这些属于他的如此成功的球赛里，他投丢了9000次。这让他失败了吗？不。他是有史以来最伟大的球员之一，但他失败了9000次。你明白了吗？我们都会失败！没关系。
What is another case is when you fail you stay down, whoever stays down is a loser. Winners will fail and get up, fail and get up, fail and get up. You always get up, that is a winner.
另一种情况是当你失败沉沦的时候，如果一直沉沦下去，你就是一个失败者。成功的人会失败但也会重新站起来，失败再站起来，失败再站起来。你一定会站起来，这才是成功的人。
I lost body-building competitions; I lost powerlifting competitions; I lost weightlifting competitions; I had movies that went in the toilet and that were terrible and got the worst reviews. We all lose! We all have loses! This is okay. And this is why I say don't be worried about losing, because when you're afraid of losing, then you get frozen, you get stiff you're not relaxed. In order to perform well in anything, if it's in boxing or if it is on your job or with your thinking, It is only happening when you relax.
我输掉了健美比赛；我输了力量举重比赛；我输了杠铃举重比赛；我有过失败的电影，真的很糟糕，得到了最差的评价。我们都会失败，我们都有很多失败的经历。没关系，这就是为什么我说不要害怕失败。因为你害怕失败的时候，你就会畏缩不前，身体变得僵硬，无法放松。为了表现得很好，不论是在拳击或是你的工作，或是在思考，成功只会发生在你放松的时候。
So, relax. It's okay to fail. let's just go all out and give it everything that you got!. That's what it is all about, So, don't be afraid to fail!
所以，放松去做吧。失败也没关系，让我们全力以赴，拼尽全力。这就是成功的真谛。不要害怕失败！

Arnold Schwarzenegger is well know all over the world and surely a true success story we all can learn from.
This man succeed in every venture he choose to join. Being a truly source of inspiration and motivation for millions of people.
From bodybuilding to acting, from acting to politics, he did it all. Conquer the unconquerableit's an expression that really fits Arnold's life achievements.
it's always wonderful to listen to the mindset of successful and inspiring people, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, when they're facing adversity or life obstacles.
You can really relate to them and in this case apply some principles or rules to your own world. If motivation is needed in your life, this is the success speech you need to listen!
We present you the six rules of success full transcription below and our short analysis about each rule:
1
Trust Yourself
"And what I mean by that is, so many young people are getting so much advice from their parents and from their teachers and from everyone.
But what is most important is that you have to dig deep down, dig deep down and ask yourselves, who do you want to be? Not what, but who.
And I'm talking about not what your parents and teachers want you to be, but you. I’m talking about figuring out for yourselves what makes you happy, no matter how crazy it may sound to other people.
I was lucky growing up because I did not have television or didn't have telephones, I didn't have the computers and the iPods. And, of course, Twitter was then something that birds did outside the window. I didn't have all these distractions and all this.
I spent a lot of time by myself, so I could figure out and listen to what isinside my heart and inside my head.
And I recognized very quickly that inside my head and heart were a burning desire to leave my small village in Austria -- not that there was something wrong with Austria, it's a beautiful country. But I wanted to leave that little place and I wanted to be part of something big, the United States of America, a powerful nation, the place where dreams can come true.
I knew when I came over here I could realize my dreams. And I decided that the best way for me to come to America was to become a bodybuilding champion, because I knew that was ticket the instant that I saw a magazine cover of my idol, Reg Park. He was Mr. Universe, he was starring in Hercules movies, he looked strong and powerful, he was so confident.
So when I found out how he got that way I became obsessed, and I went home and I said to my family, "I want to be a bodybuilding champion."
Now, you can imagine how that went over in my home in Austria. My parents, they couldn't believe it. They would have been just happy if I would have become a police officer like my father, or married someone like Heidi, had a bunch of kids and ran around like the von Trapp family in Sound of Music.
That's what my family had in mind for me, but something else burned inside me.
Something burned inside me. I wanted to be different; I was determined to be unique.
I was driven to think big and to dream big.
Everyone else thought that I was crazy. My friends said, "If you want to be a champion in a sport, why don't you go and become a bicycle champion or a skiing champion or a soccer champion? Those are the Austrian sports."
But I didn't care. I wanted to be a bodybuilding champion and use that to come to America, and use that to go into the movies and make millions of dollars. So, of course, for extra motivation I read books on strongmen and on bodybuilding and looked at magazines. And one of the things I did was, I decorated my bedroom wall.
Right next to my bed there was this big wall that I decorated all with pictures. I hung up pictures of strongmen and bodybuilders and wrestlers and boxers and so on. And I was so excited about this great decoration that I took my mother to the bedroom and I showed her. And she shook her head. She was absolutely in shock and tears started running down her eyes.
And she called the doctor, she called our house doctor and she brought him in and she explained to him, "There's something wrong here." She looked at the wall with the doctor and she said, "Where did I go wrong? I mean, all of Arnold's friends have pictures on the wall of girls, and Arnold has all these men.
But it's not just men, they're half naked and they're oiled up with baby oil. What is going on here? Where did I go wrong?" So you can imagine, the doctor shook his head and he said, "There's nothing wrong. At this age you have idols and you go and have those -- this is just quite normal."
So this is rule number one. I wanted to become a champion; I was on a mission. So rule number one is, of course, trust yourself, no matter how and what anyone else thinks."Our take on it: The best person to tell you what's good for you and what's not, is YOU!
You know yourself better than any other person, so why trust what others want for your life or have to say, instead of trusting your true feelings and dreams in the first place?
And, don't just trust yourself in the conceptual stages,
trust yourself throughout the process.
Break The Rules
"We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Not the law, but break the rules. My wife has a t-shirt that says, "Well-behaved women rarely make history." Well, you know, I don't want to burst her bubble, but the same is true with men.
It is impossible to be a maverick or a true original if you're too well behaved and
don't want to break the rules.
You have to think outside the box. That's what I believe.
After all, what is the point of being on this earth if all you want to do is
be liked by everyone and avoid trouble?
The only way that I ever got anyplace was by breaking some of the rules.
After all, I remember that after I was finished with my bodybuilding career I wanted to get into acting and I wanted to be a star in films. You can imagine what the agents said when I went to meet all those agents. Everyone had the same line, that it can't be done, the rules are different here. They said, "Look at your body. You have this huge monstrous body, overly developed. Thatdoesn't fit into the movies. You don't understand.
This was 20 years ago, the Hercules movies. Now the little guys are in, Dustin Hoffman, Woody Allen, Jack Nicholson." Before he gained weight, of course, that is. But anyway, those are the guys that were in. And the agents also complained about my accent. They said, "No one ever became a star with an accent like that, especially not with a German accent.
And yes, I can imagine with your name, Arnold Schwartzenschnitzel, or whatever the name, is, on a billboard. Yeah, that's going to draw a lot of tickets and sell a lot of tickets. Yeah, right." So this is the kind of negative attitude they had.
But I didn't listen to those rules, even though they were very nice and they said, "Look, we can get you some bit parts. We can get you to be playing a wrestler or a bouncer. Oh, maybe with your German accent we can get you to be a Nazi officer in Hogan's Heroes or something like that."
But I didn't listen to all this.Those were their rules, not my rules.
I was convinced I could do it if I worked as hard as I did in bodybuilding, five hours a day. And I started getting to work, I started taking acting classes. I took English classes, took speech classes, dialogue classes. Accent removal classes I even took.
I remember running around saying, "A fine wine grows on the vine." You see, because Germans have difficulties with the F and the W and V, so, "A fine wine grows on the vine." I know what some of you are now saying, is I hope that Arnold got his money back.
But let me tell you something, I had a good time doing those things and it really helped me. And finally I broke through. I broke through and I started getting the first parts in TV; Streets of San Francisco, Lucille Ball hired me, I made Pumping Iron, Stay Hungry. And then I got the big break in Conan the Barbarian. (Applause)
And there the director said, "If we wouldn't have Schwarzenegger, we would have to build one." Now, think about that. And then, when I did Terminator, "I'll be back," became one of the most famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy accent.
Now, think about it. The things that the agents said would be totally a detriment and would make it impossible for me to get a job, all of a sudden became an asset for me, all of those things, my accent, my body and everything.
So it just shows to you, never listen to that you can't do something. And, "You have to work your way up, of course, run for something else first." I mean, it was the same when I ran for governor, the same lines, that you have to work your way up, it can't be done. And then, of course, I ran for governor and the rest, of course, is history.
They said you have to start with a small job as mayor and then as assemblyman and then as lieutenant governor and then as governor. And they said that's the way it works in a political career. I said, "I'm not interested in a political career. I want to be a public servant. I want to fix California's problems and bring people together and bring the parties together.
So, like I said, I decided to run, I didn't pay attention to the rules. And I made it and the rest is history. Which, of course, brings me to..."
Our take on it: If you do everything according to
the rules, like everybody else does, you'll get the same results most of people gets. Poor results
.
This is not a good picture if you want to stand out, and succeed. Notice, Arnold talks breaking some of the rules, not all of them you shouldn't be a 24 hour rebel also.
Don't Be Afraid To Fail
"Anything I've ever attempted, I was always willing to fail. In the movie business, I remember, that you pick scripts. Many times you think this is a wining script, but then, of course, you find out later on, when you do the movie, that it didn't work and the movie goes in the toilet.
Now, we have seen my movies; I mean, Red Sonja, Hercules in New York, Last Action Hero. Those movies went in the toilet. But that's OK, because at the same time I made movies like Terminator and Conan and True Lies and Predator and Twins that went through the roof.
So you can't always win, but don't afraid of making decisions.
You can't be paralyzed by fear of failure or you will never push yourself.
You keep pushing because you believe in yourself and in your vision and you know that it is the right thing to do, and success will come. So don't be afraid to fail."
Our take on it: Fear of failure is one of the top common "success blockers".
Sometimes we think so much in the "cons" that we forget the "pros" of pushing ourselves to do what we got do do. And as a result we don't do nothing, that's what Arnold Schwarzenegger means with "paralyzed by fear".
Don't let this happen concentrate on your goals and just go and do it!
Remember every step forward gets you closer to your goal, even if that step is short, don't worry!
Better start small, than no start at all because of fear of failure.
Also, failing it's part of the success process, you have to fail in order to learn and get more conscious about certain things.
Failures should be taken into consideration as learning experiences that will led to better knowledge and new strategies in your road to success.
Everyone who succeed at some point had to deal with failures, so don't be afraid of it, embrace it.
Don't Listen To The Nay-Sayers
"How many times have you heard that you can't do this and you can't do that and it's never been done before? Just imagine if Bill Gates had quit when people said it can't be done.
I hear this all the time. As a matter of fact, I love it when someone says that no one has ever done this before, because then when I do it that means that I'm the first one that has done it.
So pay no attention to the people that say it can't be done.
I remember my mother-in-law, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, when she started Special Olympics in 1968 people said that it would not work. The experts, the doctors that specialized in mental disabilities and mental retardation said, "It can't be done. You can't bring people out of their institutions. You can't make them participate in sports, in jumping and swimming and in running. They will hurt themselves, they will hurt each other, they will drown in the pool."
Well, let me tell you something. Now, 40 years later, Special Olympics is one of the greatest organizations, in 164 countries, dedicated to people with mental disabilities and that are intellectually challenged.
And she did not take no for an answer.
And the same is when you look at Barack Obama. I mean, imagine, if he would have listened. If he would have listened to the naysayers he would have never run for president. People said it couldn't be done, that he couldn't get elected, that he couldn’t beat Hillary Clinton, that he would never win the general election.
But he followed his own heart, he didn’t listen to the "You can't," and he changed the course of American history.
So over and over you see that. If I would have listened to the naysayers I would still be in the Austrian Alps yodeling. I would never have come to America. I would have never met my wonderful wife Maria Shriver, I would have never had the wonderful four kids, I would have never done Terminator, and I wouldn't be standing here in front of you today as governor of the greatest state of the greatest country in the world.
So I never listen that, "You can't." I always listen to myself and say, "Yes, you can.""
Our take on it: People are always talking, the most important person you have to listen to is YOU.
Most times, people's opinions are not aligned with your goals and dreams, because they're YOUR goals and dreams, not theirs!
So, negative comments will always be around you, what you have to do is ignore them.Don't mistake "naysayers" from advisers, advisers are those people in your circle of influences that can help you to get better by analyzing your work and giving you tips.
Work Your But Off
"...the most important rule of all: Work your butt off.
You never want to fail because you didn't work hard enough.
I never wanted to lose a competition or lose an election because I didn't work hard enough. I always believed leaving no stone unturned.
Mohammed Ali, one of my great heroes, had a great line in the '70s when he was asked, "How many sit-ups do you do?" He said, "I don't count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting. When I feel pain, that's when I start counting, because that's when it really counts."
That's what makes you a champion. Arnold Scvhwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop And that's the way it is with everything.
No pain, no gain.
So many of those lessons that I apply in life I have learned from sports, let me tell you, and especially that one. And let me tell you, it is important to have fun in life, of course. But 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. Now, if you want to coast through life, don't pay attention to any of those rules.
But if you want to win, there is absolutely no way around hard, hard work.
None of my rules, by the way, of success, will work unless you do. I've always figured out that there 24 hours a day. You sleep six hours and have 18 hours left. Now, I know there are some of you out there that say well, wait a minute, I sleep eight hours or nine hours. Well, then, just sleep faster, I would recommend.
Because you only need to sleep six hours and then you have 18 hours left, and there are a lot of things you can accomplish. As a matter of fact, Ed Turner used to say always, "Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise."
And, of course, all of you know already those things, because otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here today.
Just remember, you can't climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets."
Our take on it: This is simple, you have to work hard at what you decide to do.
Most of people who want what you want, are not willing to make sacrifices to achieve that goal.
So if you work harder than most, you're one step ahead. And here's the interesting part of this topic: ANYONE can do this!!! ANYONE can work hard!
You don't need a god given gift or to be born with some kind of special skill, anyone can work hard, you just have to put your mind into it.
Talented people can be beaten by those who are willing to work harder.
Give Back
"...a very important rule: it's about giving back. Whatever path that you take in your lives, you must always find time to give something back, something back to your community, give something back to your state or to your country.
My father-in-law, Sargent Shriver - who is a great American, a truly great American who started the Peace Corps, the Job Corps, Legal Aid to the Poor - he said at Yale University to the students at a commencement speech:
"Tear down that mirror.
Tear down that mirror that makes you always look at yourself,and you will be able to look beyond that mirror and you will see the millions of people that need your help."
And let me tell you something, reaching out and helping people will bring you more satisfaction than anything else you have ever done.
As a matter of fact today, after having worked for Special Olympics and having started After School Programs, I've promoted fitness, and now with my job as governor, I can tell you, playing a game of chess with an eight-year-old kid in an inner city school is far more exciting for me than walking down another red carpet or a movie premiere."
Our take on it: Giving back it's crucial. Here's why: success it's not only about yourself.
You can achieve anything, you can have anything, you can do anything, whatever your definition of success is, but if you're not giving back to someone or something in this world, you'll feel miserable in the long run.
So success it's no only about yourself, it's about others also. Ask yourself what's the contribution you're giving others by being successful?
"So let me tell you, as you prepare to go off into the world, remember those six rules:
1. Trust yourself;
2. Break some rules;
3. Don't be afraid to fail;
4. Ignore the naysayers;
5. Work like hell, and...
6. Give something back."
