Big Fan – Big Lessons

If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?

Arnold’s success story taught that hope and resiliency are key to success.

I would love to meet these actors and musicians: Denzel Washington, Dwayne Johnson, Wyclef Jean, Jackie Chen, Jeremiah Gyang, Mary J Blige, and Arnold Schwarzenegger! But for this post, I’ll discuss why I want to meet the latter.

Big Fan, Big Lessons…

I’m a big fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger. I love his wit, accent, movies, and general principles. As a growing kid, I recollect Arnold’s superb acting in Conan – The Barbarian and the mysticism portrayed in the film astonished me. Then came the Terminator, which made me guess Arnold was a machine – a cyborg, an odd creation from Hollywood. Through my high school days, I assumed the machine Arnold was honest, and not until higher education did I learn of theatres and their antics. Some of Arnold’s movies inspired my writing and consequently contributed to my interest in fiction and fantasy.

Years later, I’m still writing on the magic called love and hope. I genuinely believe that love is the real deal. I learned that in addition to hard work, hope and resiliency is the key to success. I grew up watching this great actor, and his recommendations have shaped how I live.

And hey, Arnold, if you ever see this, I’m your big fan! 😄
