- I came over here with absolutely nothing.
I had 20 dollars in the pocket,
and some sweaty clothes in a gym bag.
But let me tell you, I had this one little apartment,
and on Thanksgiving the bodybuilders from Gold's Gym
came to my apartment and they brought me pillows,
dishes, silverware, all of the things they didn't have,
none of us can make it alone.
None of us, not even the guy that is talking to you right
now he was the greatest bodybuilder of all times.
Not even me, that has been The Terminator,
and went back in time to save the human race.
(audience cheering)
Not even me that fought and that killed predators
with his bare hands.
I always tell people that you can call me anything
that you want, but don't ever ever call me a self made man.
It gives the wrong impression, that we can do it alone.
None of us can, the whole concept of the self made man,
or woman, is a myth.
I would have never made it in my life without the help.
So this is why I don't believe in the self made man.
Why I want you to understand that is is because as soon
as you understand that you are here because of a lot of help
then you also understand that now is time to help others.
That's what this is all about.
(upbeat inspirational music)
