i'm here to talk about success
[Music]
the first rule of success is to have a
vision
you see if you don't have a vision of
where you go and if you don't have a
goal where you go
you drift around and you never end up
anywhere
i mean as you know i was born in 1947 in
austria after the second world war
so i was very fortunate
that i stumbled under my vision
and i didn't really like austria when i
grew up
i couldn't wait to get out of there
i couldn't see myself becoming a farmer
or a worker in a factory
or anything like that
even though my parents wanted me to stay
there and have a normal life
but that was their vision not mine
my vision was totally different i felt
that i was born for something special
for something unique for something big
then one day i went to school i remember
was 11 years old
and they showed a documentary about
america
there they showed this documentary the
huge skyscrapers
the high rises
the huge bridges
the six lane freeways
and all of this stuff in this emissive
that's where i want to be
[Music]
i don't want to be around here with
these little farm houses and these
little buildings i want to be in america
one day after school i walked by a store
in graz
so i went inside and i looked around and
then i saw a magazine
there's a bodybuilding magazine that had
reg park on the cover
reg park was then a three-time mr
universe
and i saw him on the big screen as
hercules
i read that and i said to myself wow
this is the blueprint for my life
