Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke at my son's graduation ceremony at USC. Despite criticisms of how he governs California, he is a great speaker. His secrets of success:

1. Do what you love and want to do, not what others tell you to do.
2. Ignore the naysayers.
3. Work your butt off.
4. Don't be afraid to fail.
5. Break the rules.
6. Give back.

He loved bodybuilding, but when his mother saw the pictures of the half naked men she brought in the doctor and cried. They said: be a policeman. Bodybuilding will get you nowhere. Mohammad Ali didn't even start counting situps until the pain started. Give it all you have. There will be setbacks. All traders know this. Everyone said no one would appreciate Arnold's accent or huge build in movies.

    I agree on Arnold's advice — you've got to give your best once you've made a decision. What comes out will always teach you a good lesson; it's just a matter of time to learn to appreciate it!
