Speech

Persist. Be patient. Be well.

Talk about your accomplishments. Be humble, but not too humble. Don't be invisible.

There is no humanity without education. There is no education without demand.

Imagine the possibilities when women are not held back. Your generation is unraveling deeply entrenched laws, principles and misguided values that have held women back for far too long and therefore, have held us all back — the human race.

When I was five or six years old, I remember watching TV and I would see these commercials... 'you can give 25 cents, save a child's life.' And I would think to myself, I wonder how many 25 cents I could save up to save all the kids in Africa. And I would say to myself, 'when I grow up, when I can get rich, I'mma save kids all over the world.'

You don't have to be rich to be a humanitarian. You don't have to be rich to help somebody. You don't gotta be famous. You don't even have to be college-educated.

It starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can.

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.

Tear down this mirror that makes you always look at yourself and you will be able to look beyond this mirror and see the millions of people that need your help.

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.
