Arnold is really strange. But he achieved a lot and he has his principles. In the following commencement address he reveals his secrets. These secrets are fairly similar to other great men's principles. To me the key sentence of his talk was: If I would have listened to the naysayers I would still be in the alps jodeling.
The principles in short:
- Trust yourself
- Break the rules
- Do not be afraid to fail
- Do not listen to naysayers
- Work your butt off
- Give something back
