Poverty is sometimes the best motivation in life. The narrative was agreed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. He felt how difficult it was to live as a poor person. Even though his parents' profession is not so bad as a village police officer.

The problem is that the salary received by a village police officer at Graz, Austria is not big. This condition made Arnold live in poverty. He lives in a simple house. In fact, without a refrigerator and a call. Arnold also had time to enjoy that life. However, his heart wanted to make changes.

He can't live forever in poverty. He began to try to travel to the US. The country of Adidaya was chosen because many people from his country underwent the American Dream (American dream) for success and success.

Arnold left for the US. However, life in the US is never easy. Arnold felt he had to be able to survive by doing anything. Recently Arnold has often seen people showing weightlifting.

He tried to pursue a career as a bodybuilder. In fact, Arnold is suitable to pursue the world of weightlifting which has led him to become a bodybuilding athlete. His body muscles began to be formed. He topped the target as the number one person in the world of sports. Or like Muhammad Ali in the world of boxing.

Dewi Fortuna also came. Arnold was able to win the title of Mr. Universe, Mr. World, and Mr. Olimpia. This success made an offer to play in films to him one by one in the 1970s.

"It's clear to me that I have to make bodybuilding popular. Bodybuilding should be something people follow and admire and you can make money from it.

"That's the idea. I feel like Muhammad Ali in a bodybuilding, that I can bring my personality into it and that's why people will pay attention," Arnold said as quoted by David Marchese in his writing on The New York Times page entitledArnold Schwarzenegger Is Here to Pump You Up Emotionally (2023).

Arnold was also sworn in to recognize AS as a new country. As a result, as a US citizen, Arnold began to carry out all kinds of work with joy. He also tried to string together dreams of becoming a politician. The results were brilliant and great success.

My American colleagues, this is an extraordinary moment for me. Thinking that a young man who used to be from Austria could grow up to be governor of the state of California, it was an immigrant's dream. "At school when teachers are going to talk about America, I'm going to daydream about coming here."

I will daydream about living here. As long as I live, I will never forget the day when I raise my right hand and I take the oath of citizenship. You know how proud I am? I am very proud that I walked around with the American flag on my shoulders all day long," Arnold said as quoted by Rollingstone page, September 18, 2023.
