[Referring to his military training in the Austrian army, Arnold Schwarzenegger said] “I was so blessed that someone taught me by the age of 18 that if we give you misery and pain and discomfort and torture that this will help you for the rest of your life. It’s almost like an investment, because from then on you say, ‘now things don’t bother me because I’ve gone through this.’ This is why I tell so many young kids today, ‘you know that you’re making a big mistake to always look for comfort, because comfort is the evil of everything. Comfort is not good. Looking for the easy way out is not good. You gotta go and confront and counter resistance. It’s like what Nietzsche said, ‘that which does not kill you makes you stronger.’ And this is exactly what it is. If we can overcome obstacles, then we get strong, and we can endure much more and we can look at the world and not whine about every little thing.”

Work Hard and Be Useful.
With Arnold Schwarzenegger, 2024-02-28.
“Oh, love isn't there to make us happy. I believe it exists to show us how much we can endure.”
Hermann Hesse
“The things you really need are few and easy to come by; but the things you can imagine you need are infinite, and you will never be satisfied.”
Epicurus
