25 Lessons You Can Learn from Arnold Schwarzenegger

Perseverance

One of the most important things that Arnold Schwarzenegger can teach us comes straight from his movie, Pumping Iron. In the movie, one of the characters is someone who was bullied as a child and had to learn the hard way that sometimes you can either persevere or fall apart. The line in the movie in which the Terminator starred was, “You can kick a dog so long and it will do two things; It’s either gonna roll over and diet or it’s gonna bit you and attack you,” and that is exactly what it means to persevere. To get up and attack life.
