Arnold Schwarzenegger: What I've learned



The power of influence is one of the most unique powers that you can have. It's not the power of controlling people. It's developing a certain skill of communicating what you want to accomplish so that people will follow you.

Be a public servant. Not a party servant.

I didn't get it at first. I'll be back. What the f--- is I'll? I will be back sounded much stronger in my mind. So I argued with Jim Cameron. And he said, "Look, Arnold, I don't tell you how to act. Please don't tell me how to write." After I saw it in the movie, I was so thankful to Cameron. That was a good lesson to learn. If someone is a good writer, stick to the script.

I would always write down my New Year's resolutions and mark them off the way I mark off sets and reps.

On New Year's Eve, you can just blabber out: I want to lose twenty pounds and I'm gonna read more. But what does that mean? There's too many variables there. If you're really serious about it, then write down when you're gonna lose the twenty pounds by. Is it March 1? Is it June 1? Make a commitment.

The day is twenty-four hours. I sleep six hours. That leaves eighteen hours to do something.

My father was a country police officer. All he knew was discipline, performance, and work — not wasting your time. He came from an era where everything was scarce, so everything had to be useful. That's why he was so against bodybuilding. He saw it as narcissistic. His belief was that you build your muscles by chopping wood or shoveling coal, doing something with your body that benefits someone else. But it was from him that I got my work ethic.

In the early days of immigration, they just shortened the foreign name. They did whatever they wanted with it. But in Hollywood, there was something else: It had to sound cool. You know, John Wayne. That sounded American, powerful. Charles Bronson. Those are great names. But Arnold Schwarzen...ag...ager? Ager? Acner? What is this? No one could pronounce it. So early on, they tried to convince me to turn it into Arnold Strong. But eventually the idea became: If someone has a difficult time remembering your name, they will also have a difficult time forgetting it.

Let me show you how far we've come with our fitness crusade: When I came to the United States in the sixties, no one ever thought that one day every hotel would have a gymnasium. Back then, people thought if you did weights you would get muscle-bound and die of a heart attack or become gay or an idiot. People thought weights would always be in dungeons. Now they're in hospitals. Now even golfers use weights.

When you get older, sex may change a bit. When you're sixty-five, it's not exactly the same as when you were twenty-five. But that doesn't mean it's over. It's never over.

It was one of my early goals to be a millionaire. In the beginning, I wanted to have a gold Rolex, a Rolls-Royce, a cheetah — just stupid things that you think of when you're a kid. Then time goes by. The Rolls-Royce thing went out the window, because when you get to the level where you can afford one, all of a sudden you say, "It's a little bit over the top." A cheetah? I think in California they got rid of the law that says you can have wild animals. Having a cheetah is a stupid idea.

In Europe, everyone is in your way. The government is in your way. The law is in your way. I mean, when my friend and I wanted to go start a bricklaying business here, we went down to city hall and got a business license. No one asked: What kind of school did you go to to learn bricklaying? Do you have any certificates that show you graduated from your trade school? Here, it's go out and make it. Just make sure you pay your taxes.

I always tell my accountant, If you're in doubt about taxes, pay more. No Cayman Island offshore investments. No gimmicks. I love paying my taxes!

Saving money on tips is nonsense. Give 20 or 25 percent. Wise investments are where the action is.

I remember when I went into politics, the legislature wanted to create a blueberry commission. Who's gonna say no to a blueberry commission? Well, I said no. I thought they should fix the budget before they do the f------ blueberry commission.

Politicians admire the military people who go to Iraq and risk their lives. Well, how about having just 10 percent of that courage?

We must teach the future leaders that political courage is not political suicide.

Peace would solve a lot of problems.

Becca Speaks @ Last

After a great performance of the first edition of Becca's Girl Talk concert last year, Becca and her team are primed for the second edition, come 21st Dec, 2012 at the National Theatre.

Call her the resilient soul and you will not be far from right. Last year when Becca announced of staging her own musical concert to be attended only by females, many were those who expressed dubiety with their reason being that, females are their own enemies and thus will not patronize the show.

However, the recently awarded best female music video winner for this year's MTN 4syte Music Video, Becca, pulled a big surprise at skeptics as she flooded the auditorium with many female fans.

Though this year has not been somehow favorable to Becca due to scandals that slapped her from her own ménage, she and her EKB Records team, ably founded by one of the most respected female character developers in Ghana, Kiki Banson, are set to wow audience with the second edition of Becca's Girl Talk. It will be a night of quality music from her, other international musicians and our own celebrated Ghanaian female musicians.

From a close source to Becca's camp, the hook of the show is how she intends to use the show to officially clear the wind on her alleged marriage and its surrounding furore. Fans and the general public have been calling on her to say something.

Come 21st Dec, 2012, all females should show their presence at the National theatre for what Becca has to say concerning her saga, after all; it's Becca's Girl Talk.

Again, all male fans are urged not to attend the show because, it's Becca's Girl Talk! All males should fill the purse of their female lovers with humongous amounts to be spent because; it's Becca's Girl Talk! Lastly, all males should drive their female lovers to the auditorium; wait for only God knows when she will release them because, it's Becca's Girl talk!

With Becca's Girl Talk, she decides when to release her female fans after talking. Becca's Girl Talk is themed; 'Men, dare not!' Not even Kiki Banson will have the privilege to watch his 'OWN' Becca perform on that day; but for Becca's father………...it's a journey of discoveries. Just be there.

The concert is anticipated to eke out large crowd from female Becca fans from USA, UK, Italy, Canada, and France come 21st Dec, 2012 at the National theatre.

Agya Koo & Van Vicker For Silverbird Tonight

Van Vicker and Agya Koo
Popular Ghanaian actor Van Vicker and Agya Koo are expected to be the sensation tonight at the Silverbird Cinema as their new movie, ‘Joni Waka’, hits the big screens tonight via a grand premiere.

The movie stars Van Vicker and Agya Koo who worked together for the first time.
Earlier this week, Van described Agya Koo as an exceptional and great comedian.
‘Joni Waka’ tells the story of Joni (Van Vicker). He goes back to his village because he has made a discovery about his homeland.

He has a plan and just how to get it but his unofficial guide, Paa Nii (Agya Koo), “the village eye”, gets things complicated.

Meanwhile, the innkeeper’s wife expresses her affection for Joni.
‘Joni Waka’ is produced by Sky Orange Production and directed by Van Vicker.
Van said he decided to do the movie to bridge the gap between Twi and English actors. He considered it a unique thing to further push the frontiers of filmmaking in Ghana.

‘Instagram Madness’ as Yvonne Nelson has enough to spare

It looks like the whole world now lives on the photo sharing application Instagram.
From celebrities sharing photos of their rather complex lifestyles to wannabes taking self-directed shots that find its way onto the devices of millions of users and pages of non users, there is never a dull moment on the application.

Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson is one of several celebrities who find the application exciting to use, which is why she continues to share as many as she can or spare. On her Instagram, you are likely to see those photos she ordinarily wouldn’t share in public.

Enjoy! For your eyes only.
