前段時間，75歲的阿諾·施瓦辛格推出了自己的首部電視劇《面目全非》。從世界選美冠軍，到好萊塢頂級電影演員，再到美國加州州長；退了休的施瓦辛格仍然不打算閒著，要繼續活躍在熒幕之上。他到底是怎樣做到這一切的？

今天英語演講君和大家分享一下這位硬漢的7分鐘超勵志演講，他揭示了他成功的5個秘密，以及如何在20歲的時候成為環球先生、如何7次成為奧林匹亞先生，進而成為好萊塢傳奇人物和兩屆加利福尼亞州州長的過程。他的故事證明，沒有克服不了的困難，也沒有實現不了的願景。

– People ask me all the time,  what is the secret to success?  And I always tell them, well, the short version is,  you got to have a 22-inch biceps. 

And you gotta be able to kill predators with your bare hands  and of course you got to have this charming Austrian accent. 

That's a given. 

 The long version is that I actually always had five rules. 

You don't need to be a bodybuilding champion,  you don't need to want to be an action hero  or anything like that. 

If you want to excel in whatever you do,  those rules are for you. 

So my first rule is find your vision and follow it. 

If you don't have a goal, if you don't have a vision,  you just drift around and you're not gonna be happy. 

I grew up after the Second World War,  Austria right along with Germany  lost the Second World War. 

There was of course depression,  there was a terrible economic situation. 

I wanted to get out of there, I wanted to escape. 

And luckily one day in school I watched a documentary  about America. 

I knew exactly that is where I wanted to end up. 

The question was just how do I get there?  How do I get to America?  No one had the money to travel or anything. 

But one day I was fortunate enough  to see a bodybuilding magazine and on the cover  was this very muscular guy. 

Mr. Universe becomes Hercules star, his name was Reg Park. 

I read the article as fast as I could,  learning about how he grew up in Leeds in England, poor. 

And how he trained five hours a day, every single day  and trained and trained and trained  so then he finally became Mr. Great Britain. 

And then became Mr. Universe, and then he won  a second Mr. Universe title and a third Mr. Universe title  and then all of a sudden he landed in Rome in Cinecitta  doing Hercules movies. 

And as I read, I became more and more certain  I had that vision very clearly laid out. 

To be a champion on that same stage  where he won the Mr. Universe, and then to move to America,  then get into movies. 

From that moment on, everything that I did,  no matter how hard I had to work  or how much I had to struggle, it didn't matter  'cause I knew what the purpose was and I found my passion. 

Always discover your vision and the rest will follow. Number second, my second rule  is never ever think small. 

You have to go and shoot for the stars. 

I didn't just think about being in movies,  no I wanted to be a movie star. 

I wanted to have above the title billing. 

I wanted to become the highest paid entertainer,  I basically wanted to be another John Wayne. 

What's wrong with that?  Never think small, think big. 

My third rule is ignore the naysayers. 

I think it is natural that when you have a big vision  and big dreams and you have big goals  that people are gonna say around you  I don't think it can be done. 

I think it's impossible. 

I mean, it started right away when I was 15 years old  and I became a bodybuilder. 

Right after it happened, I said I want to be  a world champion in bodybuilding, I want to be Mr. Universe. 

They immediately said, are you crazy?  Bodybuilding is an American sport, forget about it. 

It's nuts. 

And then when I wanted to go into show business  after I won 13 world championship titles  in bodybuilding, I said I want to be like Reg Park. 

I want to be a Hercules, I want to get into movies. 

Well, I tell you when I met those agents and managers,  their reaction was (laughs),  oh Arnold, that is so funny. 

(laughs) You want to be what, a leading man?  Oh come on, I mean look first of all  let's start with your body. 

You're gigantic, you're like a monster. 

And then your accent, oh it gives me the chills  just listening to your German bullshit, come on now. 

Have you ever seen an international movie star  with a German accent?  It doesn't happen, forget about that. 

And then your name, what is it, Schwartzen, Schnitzel  or something like that?  People are gonna storm the theater and the movie houses  because Schwartzenschnitzel  is starring in a movie. 

Oh yeah, I can see that already. 

Imagine that, everywhere I turned they said no,  it won't happen, it's not gonna happen and forget about it. 

Luckily I did not listen. 

I started taking acting classes, English classes,  even accent removal classes. 

I ran around all day saying lines like  a fine wine grows on a vine. 

All of a sudden I got a little break,  all of a sudden I got a TV show. 

A little part, then another little part,  and then Pumping Iron and Stay Hungry  and then of course I landed the big role  as Conan the Barbarian so finally I got the big big break. 

 And you know what was so interesting about it  was the director said that at the press conference  if we wouldn't have had Schwarzenegger with those muscles  we would have had to build one. 

And then when I did Terminator, James Cameron said  the I'll be back line became one of the most  famous movie lines in history because of Arnold's  crazy accent because he sounded  like a machine!  So as you see, everything that the naysayers said  was a liability became an asset. 

Ignore the naysayers. 

 The fourth rule is work your ass off. 

You never want to fail because you didn't work hard enough. 

And it doesn't matter in what area you're in. 

No pain, no gain. 

Listen, when I came to the United States, I remember  that I trained five hours a day every day  and I was managing a construction business  and I was a bricklayer and I went to college also. 

And I took acting classes from eight o'clock at night  to 12 o'clock midnight, every day I did that. 

Work your butt off, that's what I always believe  no matter what you do, work, work, work. 

My fifth and last rule is don't just take,  give something back. 

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 and millions of people  that need your help. 

And this is why I try to take every opportunity  that occurred to give something back. 

I started training Special Olympians,  I started after school programs for the most vulnerable  children, for inner-city children  to make them be able to say no to drugs,  no to gangs, and no to violence. 

We all can create change whether it is in our neighborhood  or in our local schools 'cause the bottom line is  it is up to us. 

Have a vision, think big, ignore the naysayers,  work your ass off, and give back and change the world. 

Because if not us, who?  If not now, when?

人們總是問我，成功的秘訣是什麼？我總是告訴他們，最快的方式是你必須有一個22英寸的二頭肌。

你必須能夠以你的赤手空拳殺死掠奪者當然你必須擁有這個迷人的奧地利口音。

這是天生的。

真正成功的秘訣，實際上是有五條規條。

你不需要成為一位健美冠軍，你不需要成為動作明星或類似的東西。

如果你想在你做的任何事情上表現出色，這些規條你要記住。

那麼，我的第一條規條是找到你的願景並遵循它。

如果你沒有目標，如果你沒有願景，你只是行屍走肉而且你不會快樂。

我在第二次世界大戰後出生，那時奧地利與德國聯盟在第二次世界大戰中戰敗。

導致經濟衰退，那時的經濟狀況真的很惡劣。

我想擺脫困境，我想離開這裡。

很幸運的，有一天在學校我看了一部紀錄片關於美國的。

我確切知道這就是我想去的地方。

問題是我該如何去到那裡？我該如何去到美國？那時，沒人有錢可以旅行或做其他事情。

但有一天我很幸運的在健美雜誌的封面上看見一位肌肉非常發達的男士曾獲得環球先生併成為“大力士”電影的演員他的名字是RegPark。

我趕快地閱讀有關文章，瞭解他在英格蘭利茲成長曆程和貧窮的身世以及他如何每天五小時的訓練，每一天都在訓練除了訓練還是訓練然後他終於成為英國先生。

接著成為環球先生，過後他再贏得第二個環球先生稱號和第三個宇宙先生稱號然後他就在羅馬電影城拍攝"大力士"電影。

當我在閱讀時，我越來越確定我的願景很明確是成為同一個舞臺上的冠軍在那裡他贏得了環球先生，然後搬到美國，然後進入電影圈。

從那一刻起，我所做的一切，不管我需多麼努力地工作或更多的辛苦，我都無所謂因為我知道我人生的目地以及我的熱忱。

總是先找出你的願景其餘的將隨之而來。

第二，我的第二條規條不要只想做小事。

你必須把目標設高然後努力達成。

我不只是想在電影演戲而已，不，我想成為一名電影明星。

我想我的名字是電影的號召力。

我想成為收入最高的藝人，我基本上想成為另一位約翰韋恩。

（20世紀美國電影圈泰斗）那有什麼問題？不要只想做小事，想做大事吧！我的第三條規則是無視你身邊的悲觀主義者。

我認為這很自然，當你有一個偉大的願景偉大的夢想和大目標時他們會在你身邊說“我不認為這是可以做到的”。

“我認為這是不可能的”。

我的意思是，當我15歲時我成了一名健美運動員。

過後，我說我想成為健美的世界冠軍，我想成為環球先生。

他們馬上說，你瘋了嗎？健美是美國人的運動，忘記它吧。

這是瘋狂的。

然後當我想要進入演藝圈在我贏得13個世界健美冠軍頭銜後我說我想要像RegPark一樣。

我想成為一名大力士，我想進入電影圈。

好吧，我告訴你，當我見那些經紀人和經理時，他們的反應是（笑），哦，阿諾，那太好笑了。

你想演什麼角色，領銜主演嗎？哦，我的意思是，首先讓我們從你的身體開始。

你太巨大了，你就像一個怪物。

然後你的口音，讓我打了一個冷顫聽聽你的德國廢話，現在來吧。

你有見過一位國際影星操著德國口音嗎？它不會發生的，忘記這一切吧。

再看，你的名字叫什麼，Schwartzen炸肉排嗎？或類似的東西？人們會到劇院和電影院捧場只因為Schwartzenschnitzel這名字所主演的電影嗎哦，是的，我已經看到了。

想象一下，當你要前進時，他們就會對你說不能，這是不會發生，忘記它吧。

幸運的是我沒有聽他們說。

我開始報名表演班，英語班，甚至上口音消除班我整天努力的練習講話，如葡萄藤上生長著美酒。

有時我短暫的休息，有時我需上一個電視節目。

一個接著一個，然後演了2部電影（PumpingIronandStayHungry）最終，我開始擔綱了一個重要的角色演了“野蠻人科南”成功得到了一個很大的突破。

你知道是什麼對此很有意思嗎？是導演在新聞釋出會上所說的話如果我們沒有施瓦辛格的那些肌肉我們將不得不建立一個。

然後當我演終結者時，詹姆斯卡梅隆說”我會回來的“這一句話將在電影史上名流千史終因阿諾他那瘋狂的口音像機器！所以你看，每次悲觀主義者說的負面話最終都成了資產。

無視那些悲觀主義者。

第四條規條是非常努力地工作。

你永遠不想失敗是因為你不夠努力。

無論你在哪個領域一分耕耘，一分收穫。

聽著，當我來到美國時，我記得我每天訓練五個小時同時還要打理建築業務我是一名瓦工而且也上了大學。

我報名了表演課，從晚上八點開始到午夜十二點，我每天都重複這樣做。

非常努力地工作，這是我一直相信的不管你做什麼，工作，工作，工作。

我的第五條也是最後一條規條是不要只會拿，回饋一些東西。

撕下那個總是照著自己的鏡子你將能夠看見鏡子以外的世界你會看到數百萬和數百萬人需要你的幫助。

這就是我努力抓住每一個機會來回饋的原因。

我開始訓練特殊奧運選手，我為弱勢群體開辦了一些課後課程住在城市的孩子讓他們對毒品說不不加入幫派，不付諸暴力。

不管是不是我們的鄰舍，我們都可以給予改變或是我們當地的學校因為底線是取決於我們。

有願景，想做大事，無視悲觀主義者，非常努力的工作，回饋和改變這世界。

如果不是我們來做，那麼是誰來做呢？如果不是現在，那是什麼時候呢？
