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.

Most Bodybuilders Only Have A Hazy Notion Of What They Want To Look Like. They Do Not Say, 'i Am Going To Be A Winner.' The Negative Impulses Around The Gym Can Be Incredible. I Would Hear Bodybuilders Complaining, 'oh,no! Not Another Set!' That Destroyed Them. I Have Always Believed That If You're Training For Nothing, You're Wasting Your Effort!

One Thing Was Very Clear And I Made It Always Very Clear At The Beginning When I Got Into The Governorship, And That Was That I Wasn't Trying To Become A Career Politician.
