Political preferences aside Arnold Schwarzenegger is reasonable at long term planning.
Arnold wanted to be an actor, more than he wanted to be a body builder. He wanted to move to California to pursue his dreams. His father and others told him it wasn’t possible. He was told that an Austrian who spoke German and broken English couldn’t get into the movies. Arnold knew that the most muscular man in the world would surely get a role in a movie somewhere – and he planned in his teens to become so. The rest is history.
Think long – act now.
