Stay Hungry
Stay Hungry
by Arnold Schwarzenegger

I look down on people who are waiting, who are helpless. I like people who think there is more to life than eating or going to the toilet.

Ever since I was a child, I would say to myself, "There must be more to life than this," and I found that I didn't want to be like everybody else. I wanted to be different. I wanted to be part of the small percentage of people who were leaders, not the large mass of followers. I think it was because I saw that leaders use 100 percent of their potential. I was always fascinated by people in control of other people.

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. You must want to be the greatest.

As a kid I always idolized the winning athletes. It is one thing to idolize heroes. It is quite another to visualize yourself in their place. When I saw great people, I said to myself: "I can be there."

2. "People in control of other people"
sounds like Ahnold idolizes Nazi concentration camp guards to me. A true leader leads by example, not by control and manipulation.

3. He seems to love "Authoritarian Control" of the government
This steroid laden Brown Shirt wannabe is freaking me out! Don't change the native born rule JUST because of this sick-minded power craven a**hole.
