Gratitude

To graduate at this moment, in this time of prosperity and technological revolution, is an extraordinary gift. But it does come with strings attached.

Surround yourself with people who trust and get you, who get your demons and believe in you — not just in what you have to offer them. Keep them close.

My grandmother always used to say, if you've got a dollar, there's plenty to share.

You can call me Arnold. You can call me Schwarzenegger. You can call me the Austrian Oak. You can call me Schwarzy. You can call me Arnie. But don't ever, ever call me the self-made man.

The whole concept of the self-made man or woman is a myth.

In the end, we are not going to be remembered for how much we made but for how much we have given. Make sure that it is not about 'me.' That it is about 'we.' Turn the 'me' into 'we,' and I guarantee you that you can change the world.

Ubuntu — it means 'I am because of you.' Success in business and in life is best when it's shared.

To have the opportunity to live a creative life, to have even the possibility of the opportunity to live a creative life, is a gift.

Great educators change lives.

May the source of strength, who blessed the ones before us, help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing.

No matter how cliché it may sound, you will never truly be successful until you learn to give beyond yourself. Empathy and kindness are the true signs of emotional intelligence.

Our greatness has never, ever come from sitting back and feeling entitled to what we have. It's never come from folks who climb the ladder of success, or who happen to be born near the top and then pull that ladder up after themselves. No, our greatness has always come from people who expect nothing and take nothing for granted.
