Here are some of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s insights that show the value that he places on public service and being physically fit:
Help others and give something back. You’ll discover that, while public service improves the lives of the people around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment it’ll bring into your own life.
The resistance that you fight in the gym and in life can only build a strong character.
My body is like breakfast, lunch and dinner. I don’t think about it, I just have it!
Learned helplessness is the giving-up reaction—the quitting response that follows from the belief that whatever you do doesn’t matter.
A lot of athletes and models are written off as “just bodies”—but, I never felt used for it.
In our self-absorbed society, begin to look less at yourself and more at each other. You’ll get more satisfaction from having improved your neighborhood, country and fellow human beings than you’ll ever get from your muscles, figure, automobile, house or credit rating!
Stop whining.
You’ll get more from being a peacemaker than a warrior!
