1
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:23,730
never ever think small if you're going
to accomplish anything you have to think

2
00:00:23,730 --> 00:00:26,279
big you have to go and shoot for the
stars

3
00:00:26,279 --> 00:00:30,720
the biggest challenge most people have
is because they think small and the

4
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,340
reason why people think small and why
did you choose small little goals is

5
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:40,050
because they are afraid to fail they
know that if you shoot for big goal then

6
00:00:40,050 --> 00:00:44,850
the chances of failing are very high and
they're afraid of failing there's one of

7
00:00:44,850 --> 00:00:48,809
the most common things why people are
frozen and by the kidman make a move in

8
00:00:48,809 --> 00:00:54,090
life because they're scared of failing I
say to myself hey I'm not worried about

9
00:00:54,090 --> 00:00:58,559
failing because that's part of life
you're not gonna be going win everything

10
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:02,339
and how far can you fall look at this
this is the ground that's as far as I

11
00:01:02,339 --> 00:01:07,680
can fall and you know something that the
only time you really consider the

12
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,439
failure is if you fall and you don't get
up but if you get up you're never

13
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:17,820
considered a failure so I never
considered myself a failure I always

14
00:01:17,820 --> 00:01:21,509
consider myself a winner
even though AFL every so often but I

15
00:01:21,509 --> 00:01:26,970
always got up and I always move forward
this is the important thing I never had

16
00:01:26,970 --> 00:01:30,840
any patience of course for Smita
thinking small little something then go

17
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,610
all out and do it well and this was not
just the case in bodybuilding I didn't

18
00:01:35,610 --> 00:01:38,880
just want to be a bodybuilding champion
I wanted to be the greatest bodybuilder

19
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,439
four times I wondered if the most muscle
the the most muscle of all times the

20
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:47,490
most definition I wanted to win the most
trophies the most World Championship

21
00:01:47,490 --> 00:01:52,350
titles I just wanted to be the best and
the same is also in movies I didn't you

22
00:01:52,350 --> 00:01:56,820
think about being in movies no I wanted
to be a movie star I wanted to have a

23
00:01:56,820 --> 00:01:59,230
bomb
I love building I wanted to become the

24
00:01:59,230 --> 00:02:03,790
highest paid entertainer I'd face if you
wanted to be another John Wayne what's

25
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:13,619
wrong with that

26
00:02:53,739 --> 00:03:04,760
there I go people ask me all the time
what is the secret to success the thing

27
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,890
that can give you the long version here

28
00:03:08,890 --> 00:03:13,370
and the long version is that I actually
always had five rules and everything

29
00:03:13,370 --> 00:03:17,690
that I did always use those five rules
and those five rules helped me to become

30
00:03:17,690 --> 00:03:21,950
successful in various different areas
and I think I believe that those rules

31
00:03:21,950 --> 00:03:27,799
can be applied to almost anyone and
everyone you don't need to be a

32
00:03:27,799 --> 00:03:31,670
bodybuilding champion you don't need to
want to be a governor of California

33
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:35,989
whether it be an action here or anything
like that if you want to excel in

34
00:03:35,989 --> 00:03:40,930
whatever you do those rules are for you
it's that simple

35
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,549
I think that we all here like to be
successful and we are driven so that's

36
00:03:49,549 --> 00:03:54,709
why those rules apply to you
so my first rule is find your vision and

37
00:03:54,709 --> 00:03:59,239
follow it you see I think it's the most
important thing that we have a very

38
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:06,560
clear vision of where we go a goal where
do we go because you can have the best

39
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,780
ship in the world you can have the best
cruise liner but if the captain does not

40
00:04:11,780 --> 00:04:16,579
know where to go that ship will drift
around the world and out there that sea

41
00:04:16,579 --> 00:04:21,560
and we'll never end up anywhere this is
exactly the way it is in real life if

42
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,190
you don't have a core if you don't have
a vision you just drift around you're

43
00:04:25,190 --> 00:04:29,509
not gonna be happy this is why it is so
important to have that vision now I

44
00:04:29,509 --> 00:04:35,900
created that vision in Austria because I
grew up after the Second World War the

45
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:39,259
problem was that everyone was so
depressed because they lost the war that

46
00:04:39,259 --> 00:04:42,860
there was alcoholism everywhere there
was of course depression there was a

47
00:04:42,860 --> 00:04:46,820
terrible economic situation there was
famine there was starvation and all of

48
00:04:46,820 --> 00:04:52,070
those things and also it was kind of a
little place and narrow I felt kind of I

49
00:04:52,070 --> 00:04:56,870
wanted to get out of there I wanted to
escape and I couldn't see myself really

50
00:04:56,870 --> 00:05:00,860
do work there in the stadia to work in
the factory of the work in the farm

51
00:05:00,860 --> 00:05:05,840
although even to follow my father's
footsteps to become a police officer I

52
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:09,560
couldn't see that either and I think
that's what my parents wanted me to do

53
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,380
but that's not what I saw this was the
vision of my parents but not mine and

54
00:05:14,380 --> 00:05:20,330
luckily one day in school I watched a
documentary about America and I found

55
00:05:20,330 --> 00:05:25,760
myself I knew exactly that is where I
wanted to end up I wanted to be in

56
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,860
America everything that I saw in that
that commander just loved everything was

57
00:05:30,860 --> 00:05:36,470
so big I remember the tall skyscrapers
the monstrous bridges the giant freeways

58
00:05:36,470 --> 00:05:41,479
filled with beautiful cars
the huge jet liners movie stars Muscle

59
00:05:41,479 --> 00:05:46,580
Beach and all of those things I could
not wait to get there the question was

60
00:05:46,580 --> 00:05:51,080
just how do I get there how do I get the
America I mean it's just not a common

61
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,210
thing to do
way back in the 50s no one had the

62
00:05:54,210 --> 00:06:00,389
I need to travel or anything but one day
I was fortunate enough to see a magazine

63
00:06:00,389 --> 00:06:05,819
and Dead magazine showed me the path to
America and it was a bodybuilding

64
00:06:05,819 --> 00:06:10,620
magazine and on the cover bust is very
muscular guy then was standing there

65
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:16,229
like Hercules with the Hercules outfit
his name was Reggie Park this rich Park

66
00:06:16,229 --> 00:06:21,750
was undercover and I remember the cover
said mr. universe becomes Hercules star

67
00:06:21,750 --> 00:06:27,240
I read the article as fast as I could
learning about how he grew up in Leeds

68
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:34,830
in England poor in how he trained five
hours a day every single day and trained

69
00:06:34,830 --> 00:06:38,009
and trained and trained and lifted
weights and then he finally became mr.

70
00:06:38,009 --> 00:06:43,139
Great Britain and then he could became
mr. universe at any one a second mr.

71
00:06:43,139 --> 00:06:47,190
Universe title in the third mr. Universe
title and then all of a sudden he landed

72
00:06:47,190 --> 00:06:52,080
in Rome in cinecittà
doing Hercules movies and yeah he made

73
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,460
millions of dollars and this this money
he took he bought himself a gymnasium

74
00:06:56,460 --> 00:07:01,620
chain in South Africa he became a
successful gymnasium owner in a syrette

75
00:07:01,620 --> 00:07:07,889
I became more and more certain about my
own future as I read this story I was so

76
00:07:07,889 --> 00:07:12,539
excited so interested I knew exactly
that I wanted to become another reg Park

77
00:07:12,539 --> 00:07:17,190
I know he laid out the blueprint for my
life basically

78
00:07:17,190 --> 00:07:23,490
I could see myself I could visualize
myself clearly to be a champion on that

79
00:07:23,490 --> 00:07:27,810
same stage where he wanted mr. universe
and then the move to America then get

80
00:07:27,810 --> 00:07:33,180
into movies and then become rich and
famous I had that vision very clearly

81
00:07:33,180 --> 00:07:37,860
laid out I was so happy that I knew
exactly where I was going

82
00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:42,479
from that moment on everything that I
did no matter how hard I had to work or

83
00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:44,490
how much I had to struggle it didn't
matter

84
00:07:44,490 --> 00:07:49,409
it was a wonderful joyride because I
knew what the purpose was and I found my

85
00:07:49,409 --> 00:07:54,730
passion the simple truth is if you don't
have a vision

86
00:07:54,730 --> 00:07:58,930
if you don't have a goal if you don't
see your future laid out in front of you

87
00:07:58,930 --> 00:08:04,570
you're just floating around without a
purpose and I think that the numbers

88
00:08:04,570 --> 00:08:08,980
speak for themselves this is why so many
people around the world are unhappy with

89
00:08:08,980 --> 00:08:14,320
their jobs I mean in America 74 percent
of the people hate their job and would

90
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,550
like to change jobs but think about that
that means that only a quarter of the

91
00:08:18,550 --> 00:08:24,390
Americans love the life's work I mean
that is a very depressing statistic I

92
00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:29,830
always smile when I worked the matter
how hard I work I always had a great

93
00:08:29,830 --> 00:08:33,520
time no matter what I did it didn't
matter if I was in bodybuilding or if it

94
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,740
was in the movies of it was as governor
I remember in the pumping iron days

95
00:08:37,740 --> 00:08:42,130
people asked me in the gym all the time
why are you smiling all the time why are

96
00:08:42,130 --> 00:08:47,020
you so happy you have to lift 50 tons of
weights you have to Train five hours a

97
00:08:47,020 --> 00:08:51,010
day I mean I look at the other
bodybuilders faces and lifters faces and

98
00:08:51,010 --> 00:08:55,720
they look kind of depressing they look
sour they're miserable that they have to

99
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,610
lift weights you don't look miserable
you look happy and I'd tell them always

100
00:09:00,610 --> 00:09:05,500
they say I smile because I know exactly
did every rep that I do there every set

101
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:10,300
that I do every weight did I live to get
one step closer to turning that vision

102
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:15,130
of mine into reality and becoming that
mr. universe I could not wait to lift

103
00:09:15,130 --> 00:09:20,290
another 500 pounds in the squats I could
not wait to do another thousand sit-ups

104
00:09:20,290 --> 00:09:24,310
I could not wait to do bench press more
bench press and more girls until I

105
00:09:24,310 --> 00:09:28,210
couldn't move my arms anymore
because I knew that every rep got me

106
00:09:28,210 --> 00:09:32,470
closer to standing on that stage as a
champion as a matter of fact when I

107
00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:36,490
lifted weights I didn't really feel like
I was lifting weights I felt like I was

108
00:09:36,490 --> 00:09:41,110
lifting a trophy over my head each time
I lift it and they'll have all those

109
00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:46,650
bodybuilders around me and thousands of
people screaming

110
00:09:47,690 --> 00:09:52,350
and I tell you that this vision didn't
just help me in bodybuilding and help

111
00:09:52,350 --> 00:09:57,360
living everything like I said I remember
in the movie business there was many

112
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,589
times stunts that they had to do we I
got hurt

113
00:10:01,589 --> 00:10:06,690
that was in pain the agony had to do it
over and over again I remember one

114
00:10:06,690 --> 00:10:15,180
incident specifically and Conan the
Barbarian there there I was crawling on

115
00:10:15,180 --> 00:10:21,630
all four unwaxed over rocks and gravel
holding my sword right in front of me

116
00:10:21,630 --> 00:10:26,820
and as I was crawling the camera
followed me it was around thirty feet

117
00:10:26,820 --> 00:10:32,040
that the crawlin does rocks in his
gravel and eventually after ten takes my

118
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,480
elbows my knees started bleeding and
hurting and the director came to me

119
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,380
sheepishly and said to me sis do you
mind if we do another take I need a

120
00:10:40,380 --> 00:10:44,910
close-up of you and I said him no I
don't mind at all I said going to as

121
00:10:44,910 --> 00:10:47,700
many takes as you want this is none I
don't want to do that because I know

122
00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:51,870
you're in pain you're beating I said no
no I don't feel any pain I say the only

123
00:10:51,870 --> 00:11:03,060
thing I see is is the finished scene

124
00:11:03,060 --> 00:11:08,889
this is why I did not feel that pain I
did not care if I was bleeding on my

125
00:11:08,889 --> 00:11:15,310
knees because I know that pain is
temporary but the film is permanent and

126
00:11:15,310 --> 00:11:20,769
I explained that to the director so this
is why I try to tell you always discover

127
00:11:20,769 --> 00:11:27,830
your vision and the rest will follow

128
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,220
you
