0:00:17.600,0:00:23.730 never ever think small if you're going[br]to accomplish anything you have to think 0:00:23.730,0:00:26.279 big you have to go and shoot for the[br]stars 0:00:26.279,0:00:30.720 the biggest challenge most people have[br]is because they think small and the 0:00:30.720,0:00:35.340 reason why people think small and why[br]did you choose small little goals is 0:00:35.340,0:00:40.050 because they are afraid to fail they[br]know that if you shoot for big goal then 0:00:40.050,0:00:44.850 the chances of failing are very high and[br]they're afraid of failing there's one of 0:00:44.850,0:00:48.809 the most common things why people are[br]frozen and by the kidman make a move in 0:00:48.809,0:00:54.090 life because they're scared of failing I[br]say to myself hey I'm not worried about 0:00:54.090,0:00:58.559 failing because that's part of life[br]you're not gonna be going win everything 0:00:58.559,0:01:02.339 and how far can you fall look at this[br]this is the ground that's as far as I 0:01:02.339,0:01:07.680 can fall and you know something that the[br]only time you really consider the 0:01:07.680,0:01:13.439 failure is if you fall and you don't get[br]up but if you get up you're never 0:01:13.439,0:01:17.820 considered a failure so I never[br]considered myself a failure I always 0:01:17.820,0:01:21.509 consider myself a winner[br]even though AFL every so often but I 0:01:21.509,0:01:26.970 always got up and I always move forward[br]this is the important thing I never had 0:01:26.970,0:01:30.840 any patience of course for Smita[br]thinking small little something then go 0:01:30.840,0:01:35.610 all out and do it well and this was not[br]just the case in bodybuilding I didn't 0:01:35.610,0:01:38.880 just want to be a bodybuilding champion[br]I wanted to be the greatest bodybuilder 0:01:38.880,0:01:43.439 four times I wondered if the most muscle[br]the the most muscle of all times the 0:01:43.439,0:01:47.490 most definition I wanted to win the most[br]trophies the most World Championship 0:01:47.490,0:01:52.350 titles I just wanted to be the best and[br]the same is also in movies I didn't you 0:01:52.350,0:01:56.820 think about being in movies no I wanted[br]to be a movie star I wanted to have a 0:01:56.820,0:01:59.230 bomb[br]I love building I wanted to become the 0:01:59.230,0:02:03.790 highest paid entertainer I'd face if you[br]wanted to be another John Wayne what's 0:02:03.790,0:02:13.619 wrong with that 0:02:53.739,0:03:04.760 there I go people ask me all the time[br]what is the secret to success the thing 0:03:04.760,0:03:08.890 that can give you the long version here 0:03:08.890,0:03:13.370 and the long version is that I actually[br]always had five rules and everything 0:03:13.370,0:03:17.690 that I did always use those five rules[br]and those five rules helped me to become 0:03:17.690,0:03:21.950 successful in various different areas[br]and I think I believe that those rules 0:03:21.950,0:03:27.799 can be applied to almost anyone and[br]everyone you don't need to be a 0:03:27.799,0:03:31.670 bodybuilding champion you don't need to[br]want to be a governor of California 0:03:31.670,0:03:35.989 whether it be an action here or anything[br]like that if you want to excel in 0:03:35.989,0:03:40.930 whatever you do those rules are for you[br]it's that simple 0:03:43.040,0:03:49.549 I think that we all here like to be[br]successful and we are driven so that's 0:03:49.549,0:03:54.709 why those rules apply to you[br]so my first rule is find your vision and 0:03:54.709,0:03:59.239 follow it you see I think it's the most[br]important thing that we have a very 0:03:59.239,0:04:06.560 clear vision of where we go a goal where[br]do we go because you can have the best 0:04:06.560,0:04:11.780 ship in the world you can have the best[br]cruise liner but if the captain does not 0:04:11.780,0:04:16.579 know where to go that ship will drift[br]around the world and out there that sea 0:04:16.579,0:04:21.560 and we'll never end up anywhere this is[br]exactly the way it is in real life if 0:04:21.560,0:04:25.190 you don't have a core if you don't have[br]a vision you just drift around you're 0:04:25.190,0:04:29.509 not gonna be happy this is why it is so[br]important to have that vision now I 0:04:29.509,0:04:35.900 created that vision in Austria because I[br]grew up after the Second World War the 0:04:35.900,0:04:39.259 problem was that everyone was so[br]depressed because they lost the war that 0:04:39.259,0:04:42.860 there was alcoholism everywhere there[br]was of course depression there was a 0:04:42.860,0:04:46.820 terrible economic situation there was[br]famine there was starvation and all of 0:04:46.820,0:04:52.070 those things and also it was kind of a[br]little place and narrow I felt kind of I 0:04:52.070,0:04:56.870 wanted to get out of there I wanted to[br]escape and I couldn't see myself really 0:04:56.870,0:05:00.860 do work there in the stadia to work in[br]the factory of the work in the farm 0:05:00.860,0:05:05.840 although even to follow my father's[br]footsteps to become a police officer I 0:05:05.840,0:05:09.560 couldn't see that either and I think[br]that's what my parents wanted me to do 0:05:09.560,0:05:14.380 but that's not what I saw this was the[br]vision of my parents but not mine and 0:05:14.380,0:05:20.330 luckily one day in school I watched a[br]documentary about America and I found 0:05:20.330,0:05:25.760 myself I knew exactly that is where I[br]wanted to end up I wanted to be in 0:05:25.760,0:05:30.860 America everything that I saw in that[br]that commander just loved everything was 0:05:30.860,0:05:36.470 so big I remember the tall skyscrapers[br]the monstrous bridges the giant freeways 0:05:36.470,0:05:41.479 filled with beautiful cars[br]the huge jet liners movie stars Muscle 0:05:41.479,0:05:46.580 Beach and all of those things I could[br]not wait to get there the question was 0:05:46.580,0:05:51.080 just how do I get there how do I get the[br]America I mean it's just not a common 0:05:51.080,0:05:54.210 thing to do[br]way back in the 50s no one had the 0:05:54.210,0:06:00.389 I need to travel or anything but one day[br]I was fortunate enough to see a magazine 0:06:00.389,0:06:05.819 and Dead magazine showed me the path to[br]America and it was a bodybuilding 0:06:05.819,0:06:10.620 magazine and on the cover bust is very[br]muscular guy then was standing there 0:06:10.620,0:06:16.229 like Hercules with the Hercules outfit[br]his name was Reggie Park this rich Park 0:06:16.229,0:06:21.750 was undercover and I remember the cover[br]said mr. universe becomes Hercules star 0:06:21.750,0:06:27.240 I read the article as fast as I could[br]learning about how he grew up in Leeds 0:06:27.240,0:06:34.830 in England poor in how he trained five[br]hours a day every single day and trained 0:06:34.830,0:06:38.009 and trained and trained and lifted[br]weights and then he finally became mr. 0:06:38.009,0:06:43.139 Great Britain and then he could became[br]mr. universe at any one a second mr. 0:06:43.139,0:06:47.190 Universe title in the third mr. Universe[br]title and then all of a sudden he landed 0:06:47.190,0:06:52.080 in Rome in cinecittà[br]doing Hercules movies and yeah he made 0:06:52.080,0:06:56.460 millions of dollars and this this money[br]he took he bought himself a gymnasium 0:06:56.460,0:07:01.620 chain in South Africa he became a[br]successful gymnasium owner in a syrette 0:07:01.620,0:07:07.889 I became more and more certain about my[br]own future as I read this story I was so 0:07:07.889,0:07:12.539 excited so interested I knew exactly[br]that I wanted to become another reg Park 0:07:12.539,0:07:17.190 I know he laid out the blueprint for my[br]life basically 0:07:17.190,0:07:23.490 I could see myself I could visualize[br]myself clearly to be a champion on that 0:07:23.490,0:07:27.810 same stage where he wanted mr. universe[br]and then the move to America then get 0:07:27.810,0:07:33.180 into movies and then become rich and[br]famous I had that vision very clearly 0:07:33.180,0:07:37.860 laid out I was so happy that I knew[br]exactly where I was going 0:07:37.860,0:07:42.479 from that moment on everything that I[br]did no matter how hard I had to work or 0:07:42.479,0:07:44.490 how much I had to struggle it didn't[br]matter 0:07:44.490,0:07:49.409 it was a wonderful joyride because I[br]knew what the purpose was and I found my 0:07:49.409,0:07:54.730 passion the simple truth is if you don't[br]have a vision 0:07:54.730,0:07:58.930 if you don't have a goal if you don't[br]see your future laid out in front of you 0:07:58.930,0:08:04.570 you're just floating around without a[br]purpose and I think that the numbers 0:08:04.570,0:08:08.980 speak for themselves this is why so many[br]people around the world are unhappy with 0:08:08.980,0:08:14.320 their jobs I mean in America 74 percent[br]of the people hate their job and would 0:08:14.320,0:08:18.550 like to change jobs but think about that[br]that means that only a quarter of the 0:08:18.550,0:08:24.390 Americans love the life's work I mean[br]that is a very depressing statistic I 0:08:24.390,0:08:29.830 always smile when I worked the matter[br]how hard I work I always had a great 0:08:29.830,0:08:33.520 time no matter what I did it didn't[br]matter if I was in bodybuilding or if it 0:08:33.520,0:08:37.740 was in the movies of it was as governor[br]I remember in the pumping iron days 0:08:37.740,0:08:42.130 people asked me in the gym all the time[br]why are you smiling all the time why are 0:08:42.130,0:08:47.020 you so happy you have to lift 50 tons of[br]weights you have to Train five hours a 0:08:47.020,0:08:51.010 day I mean I look at the other[br]bodybuilders faces and lifters faces and 0:08:51.010,0:08:55.720 they look kind of depressing they look[br]sour they're miserable that they have to 0:08:55.720,0:09:00.610 lift weights you don't look miserable[br]you look happy and I'd tell them always 0:09:00.610,0:09:05.500 they say I smile because I know exactly[br]did every rep that I do there every set 0:09:05.500,0:09:10.300 that I do every weight did I live to get[br]one step closer to turning that vision 0:09:10.300,0:09:15.130 of mine into reality and becoming that[br]mr. universe I could not wait to lift 0:09:15.130,0:09:20.290 another 500 pounds in the squats I could[br]not wait to do another thousand sit-ups 0:09:20.290,0:09:24.310 I could not wait to do bench press more[br]bench press and more girls until I 0:09:24.310,0:09:28.210 couldn't move my arms anymore[br]because I knew that every rep got me 0:09:28.210,0:09:32.470 closer to standing on that stage as a[br]champion as a matter of fact when I 0:09:32.470,0:09:36.490 lifted weights I didn't really feel like[br]I was lifting weights I felt like I was 0:09:36.490,0:09:41.110 lifting a trophy over my head each time[br]I lift it and they'll have all those 0:09:41.110,0:09:46.650 bodybuilders around me and thousands of[br]people screaming 0:09:47.690,0:09:52.350 and I tell you that this vision didn't[br]just help me in bodybuilding and help 0:09:52.350,0:09:57.360 living everything like I said I remember[br]in the movie business there was many 0:09:57.360,0:10:01.589 times stunts that they had to do we I[br]got hurt 0:10:01.589,0:10:06.690 that was in pain the agony had to do it[br]over and over again I remember one 0:10:06.690,0:10:15.180 incident specifically and Conan the[br]Barbarian there there I was crawling on 0:10:15.180,0:10:21.630 all four unwaxed over rocks and gravel[br]holding my sword right in front of me 0:10:21.630,0:10:26.820 and as I was crawling the camera[br]followed me it was around thirty feet 0:10:26.820,0:10:32.040 that the crawlin does rocks in his[br]gravel and eventually after ten takes my 0:10:32.040,0:10:36.480 elbows my knees started bleeding and[br]hurting and the director came to me 0:10:36.480,0:10:40.380 sheepishly and said to me sis do you[br]mind if we do another take I need a 0:10:40.380,0:10:44.910 close-up of you and I said him no I[br]don't mind at all I said going to as 0:10:44.910,0:10:47.700 many takes as you want this is none I[br]don't want to do that because I know 0:10:47.700,0:10:51.870 you're in pain you're beating I said no[br]no I don't feel any pain I say the only 0:10:51.870,0:11:03.060 thing I see is is the finished scene 0:11:03.060,0:11:08.889 this is why I did not feel that pain I[br]did not care if I was bleeding on my 0:11:08.889,0:11:15.310 knees because I know that pain is[br]temporary but the film is permanent and 0:11:15.310,0:11:20.769 I explained that to the director so this[br]is why I try to tell you always discover 0:11:20.769,0:11:27.830 your vision and the rest will follow 0:11:58.160,0:12:00.220 you
