Arnold's AxiomsTotal Recall

They always ask me"Arnold, what's the secret?" Like there's some shortcut. Some magic pill There isn't. But there are rules My rules. Listen close Rule one: Trust yourself, no matter what they tellin' you The vision in your gut is the only voice that's sellin' truth Rule two: Break the rules.. not the law, but the status quo The path that's always taken is the slowest way to grow Rule three: Don't be afraid to fail, you can't be paralyzed The master has failed more times than the novice has ever tried And rule four: Ignore the naysayers, the voices of the small They say it can't be done because they're scared that you'll get it all Write it down, make it plain Drill it deep inside your brain The work is what remains The vision and the pain.. become the gain Rule five: Work your tail off, leave no single stone unturned The sweetest taste of victory is knowin' that it's earned And rule six: Always give somethin' back, open up the door For the next kid with the fire who is yearnin' for much more Don't just take from the world, add your value to the pot Share the blueprint, share the knowledge, share the wisdom that you got 'Cause a legacy ain't built on what you have, but what you leave behind A strong body's nothin' without a strong and useful mind Write it down, make it plain Drill it deep inside your brain The work is what remains The vision and the pain.. become the gain Those are the rules Simple. Not easy Now go do something useful.
