Many people complain: «I’m not successful because I just can’t make those shots.» Come on, guys, just practice the shots, that’s all. Why complain? Just start. Take me, for example. I grew up in a poor family, I didn’t have a father, we were on welfare. But work, work, work, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice — and here I am in front of you: a successful man who shook hands with Bruce Lee..

The most challenging thing is to achieve what we desire the most. This means that success will require even more determination. This is the essence of a winner, and I am a winner in life. You have to want something so badly that you won’t give up, no matter the difficulties.

I met Bruce in 1968, right after becoming the world karate champion. Bruce was in the gym that day as a special guest. We struck up a conversation and started training together. Then he flew to Hong Kong. He called me in 1972. «Dude,» Bruce said, «I just made two movies in Hong Kong, and now I’m a damn big deal. You know, I want to make a movie that everyone will talk about. And I want us to be in it together. And we should fight.» I asked, «Who should win, dude?» He said, «Of course, me. Because I’m the star.» Then I laughed and said, «You want to beat me, the world karate champion?» He said, «Yes.» His sense of humor sometimes let him down. There’s a lot said about Bruce. He was fast, learned a little from everyone, and his mind was open. I talked with Schwarzenegger a couple more times. Surprisingly, we think practically the same way. Our conversation was probably the most boring conversation on Earth. «Exactly, Chuck.» «Absolutely, Arnie.»

I remember the day when I was going to go to acting school. I came home and started counting my money. Clearly, I didn’t have enough. So, I decided not to go to any acting school. And I didn’t go. Now I have enough money, but money can’t guarantee happiness; they only bring you a headache. Some of the most miserable people I know are among the richest people in America — and they are the most pitiful personalities I have ever seen.

I travel a lot around the world, and I’ve never had a bodyguard. I’ve never had any problems with that. Probably, it works because of the image I’ve created in movies. After all, I’ve never played a guy looking for trouble. I’ve played a guy who can handle it if he has to. «Violence is the last resort.»

I choose only minimally processed products. Although they cost more and are harder to find, it quickly pays off with good health. I always have breakfast, anywhere and everywhere. Skipping the first meal of the day is unacceptable for me. There are no unhealthy foods in my house. I follow the principle «no temptation — no problem.» I easily replace sweets with fruits. I consume carbohydrates in my diet — for example, I love sweet potatoes, an excellent source of complex carbohydrates. Dinner in our family usually happens around 6-7 pm. My main rule, however, is a sensible approach to nutrition as fuel for the body: every product must be beneficial, and before consumption, it’s important to think about what it will give and what the consequences will be. My advice to you: Think about what you eat!

Guys, let me give you some advice. Look at me; I used to be nobody, grew up in a poor family, without a father. But now, at 80, I’m successful and wealthy, I travel a lot around the world, eat healthy food, feel young, and don’t deny myself anything.

So, guys, don’t whine, take action! Remember, if you want to achieve something in this life, you can’t just sit and wait for it to happen. You need to do something! My life experience tells me that if you just sit, nothing will happen. Most people give up a second before doing something they’ve longed for and seemed unattainable. You can’t do that. After all, you never know in advance which obstacle on your path will be the last.

And yes, one more thing, remember that each of us will have a morning we won’t see. And believe in God..
