Story #7 Arnold Schwarzenegger... The tank driver who became California's Governor

Image
This 12-minute short film tells the story of young Arnold in Austria. Since young, Arnold loved bodybuilding because it gave him self-confidence. But his father did not approve of his passion (as Austrians love skiing and soccer but not bodybuilding).  So h e had a different plan.  H e sent 18 year-old Arnold  to the Austrian Army to become a tank driver.  His father thought that by sending him to the army, he will quit his bodybuilding. Instead of quitting, he continued to train in the military base every night after a long day physically challenging training.  And when Arnold received an invitation to compete in a junior contest in Stuttgart, he had to make the most difficult decision in his life.

In this BBC documentary,  How We Made Our Millions ,  Dragon Den  star Peter Jones asked Richard Reed (owner of the multi-million dollar company, Innocent Drinks) when he had decided to become an entrepreneur. Peter asked: When did you actually think to yourself, "you know what, i'm an entrepreneur"? Richard replied: I was 16 and i was working in a dog biscuit factory. My job paid two pounds an hour. And the task I was assigned was to get down on my hands and knees and pick up the dog biscuits off the factory floor that had fallen off the conveyor belt. So I went up to the foreman and said, "do you have a brush that I could borrow so that i could do this job better?" and he looked at me, dead in the eyes, and said " son, you're the brush ". That was the split second that I decided that there has got to be a better way than this. I left the dog biscuit factory that afternoon, went home and set up a little business called Two Men Went to ...
