He has a big ego but in a weird way it's a respectful ego. I attribute that to him being raised in Europe, where kids are mostly brought up to have a bit more respect. His documentary on Netflix really solidified my thoughts of him. He's willing to admit his mistakes and is always trying to exceed expectations and evolve in a positive way.

You’ll learn a lot about a great man.

As the grandchild of holocaust survivors, I think people really need to listen to how prophetic Mr. Schwarzenegger‘s words are. He grew up in a time where, instead of going against the Nazi party, many people in Germany and Austria went along thinking. Maybe this will make Germany great again, maybe this will make Austria great again, but it didn’t. Now you did have people stand up against the Nazis, and they were quickly taken care of. Maybe if you had many many more standup the outcome might’ve been a little different. But sometimes you have to have the courage even though if you do that means certain demise. You don’t change history for the better with complacency or collaboration. Not to mention the fact, Arnold Schwarzenegger has always been a good dude. Yes there’s been issues and transgression but we’re all human. At the end of the day, the guy has tried to be better. He’s tried to inspire people to have courage, and that is incredibly powerful.
