Why Arnold? It is always good to learn from the real heroes. From those who have been there, seen things and done it than to listen from a random self-help guy. Arnold was Mr Universe thrice, seven times Mr Olympia.

He served as the Governor of California for two terms. He was one of the top billed Hollywood superstars.

Can anyone forget the life he breathed into The Terminator.

He personified the on-screen action hero role and off-screen role model. Most importantly as a group of people seeking lessons, he had his flaws. And he overcame them one by one.

In a interview long ago, he summed up 5 lessons for life

1. Have a vision or goal.

2. Say no to naysayers.

3. Work your ass off.

4. Never think small, shoot for the stars

5. Don’t just take. Give something back.

I compiled ten lessons from his books and interviews for you.
