Good Things Don't Happen By Coincidence. Every Dream Carries With It Certain Risks, Especially The Risk Of Failure. But I Am Not Stopped By Risks. Supposed A Great Person Takes The Risk And Fails. Then The Person Must Try Again. You Cannot Fail Forever. If You Try Ten Times, You Have A Better Chance Of Making It On The Eleventh Try Than If You Didn't Try At All.

For Me, Life Is About Continuously Being Hungry. It's Meaning Is Not Simply To Just Exist Or To Survive, But To Move Ahead, To Go Up, To Achieve, To Conquer. Strength Does Not Come From Winning. Your Struggles Develop Your Strengths. When You Go Through Hardships And Decide Not To Surrender, That Is Strength. We All Have Great Power. That Power Is Self-faith. There's Really An Attitude To Winning. You Have To See Yourself Winning Before You Win. And You Have To Be Hungry. You Have To Want To Conquer.

And You Look At It And It Doesn't Even Seem To Belong To You. Like A Sculpture.

My Only Rule Is To Keep Moving, For A Pump And Cardio At The Same Time. Rest As Little As Possible. After An Hour, You Will Feel Fantastic And Your Muscles Won't Know What Hit Them.

The Better You Get, The Less You Run Around Showing Off As A Muscle Guy. You Know, You Wear Regular Shirts-not Always Trying To Show Off What You Have. You Talk Less About It. It's Like You Have A Little Bmw - You Want To Race The Hell Out Of This Car, Because You Know It's Just Going 110. But If You See Guys Driving A Ferrari Or A Lamborghini, They Slide Around At 60 On The Freeway Because They Know If They Press On That Accelerator They Are Going To Go 170. These Things Are The Same In Every Field.

My Whole Life Everyone Always Said 'it Can't Be Done', 'you'll Never Do It', 'you Will Fail', 'no One Has Ever Gone From Austria And Become A Mr Universe, Blah, Blah, Blah', Or When I Ran For Governor People Were Sceptical. It Was 'you're Going To Lose' And 'people Don't Take People From Show-business Seriously In Politics'. So, I've Heard All The 'it's Impossible' Thing But I Didn't Pay Any Attention Because I Believed That I Could Do It.
