Izzy: 阿诺德·施瓦辛格的故事激励人心。他从健美运动员到演员再到政治家,每一步都面临挑战,尤其是在好莱坞发展时,他的口音曾被认为是劣势。但他没有让这些阻碍他,而是专注于自己的优势,最终将口音转变为个人特色,成为他成功的关键因素。他不在乎别人的否定,坚持自己的愿景,最终赢得了认可。 Ethan: 面对反对者是成功人士的共同经历。很多人会告诉你“你做不到”,但重要的是坚持自己的信念。阿诺德的例子告诉我们,不要让别人的否定影响你,要相信自己的能力,勇往直前。 Arnold Schwarzenegger: 我根本不在乎别人怎么说。他们说我的口音会吓到观众,我的名字太难发音,但我没有放弃。我专注于自己的优势,最终证明他们错了。我的口音和体格成为了我的标志,帮助我获得了独特的角色。
