No matter what, keep your dreams. Don’t give up on them,even when you are temporarily defeated or denied. Keep your dreams. 　　Well, thank you very much, President. First of all, I want to thank President Gu for having mehere, and I want to thank Mr. Qizhi for your kind introduction. Thank you very much. 　　It is wonderful to be here at this university. What a special place. I just looked around a littlebit here, it’s a gorgeous, gorgeous place. I want to congratulate you for going to thismagnificent university here. 　　Now, the last time I was here in China was five years ago, and then I was promoting mymovies. They had a movie festival here, the Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie Festival. I rememberthey showed all my movies for a week;which was a rarity, may I remind you;and they alsoshowed the movies on television. But we also were here to promote Special Olympics, which isan organization that helps people with mental disabilities, so I was here for both reasons. 　　But this time I’m here as the governor of the great state of California. I’m here representingthe people of California, and we’re here on a trade mission to see how we can do more businesswith China and to help each other, because both California is a very fast growing state, andChina is a very fast growing country, and there are a lot of things that we can do for oneanother. 　　But I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to come here today and to talk with the youngpeople; as a matter of fact, to the brightest young people of China. And this is why it is so greatto be here at the Tsinghua University, and I’m honored that I was invited here. 　　Now, I read a little bit about the history of Tsinghua, and I learned that actually this schooloriginally prepared students to attend universities in America. Now, I also know that since theattack on our World Trade Centers it has become more and more difficult to go to theuniversities in America because you need to fill out all kinds of paperwork now and you have toget visas, and it’s very complicated, and you have to wait a much longer period of time to goover there. But let me tell you, things are improving already. I’ve heard that it’s easing up, therestrictions, and it’s easier to get a visa. My young Chinese friends, I want to tell you that incase no one from America has ever invited you, let me do this right now personally. I want towarmly invite all of you here to come to the United States, and especially to come to California,because that’s the happening place. California is the best place. 　　Please come and visit us, we will welcome you. I invite you all to come there and to travel, tomeet the American people, and to come there and study in our universities, and some dayhopefully you will come and do business over there, or maybe you’ll want to move over there.Whatever your goal is, you’re always welcome. America, after all, let’s not forget, is the land ofopportunity. And it’s not only the land of opportunity for Austrians like me, but for Chinesepeople as well. Remember that. 　　I know that beginning with this century, China is also becoming a land of opportunity. It’s afast growing place, and as the students of this great university and the citizens of a risingChina, I think that you have a great future also here in this country. And today I want to talk toyou a little bit about the dreams, about the dreams of your future, and dreams for this country.I want to talk to you a little bit about dreams, because it seems to me that I’m somewhat of anexpert in dreams, because I had a lot of my dreams become a reality. So let me just briefly tellyou my story, and tell you a little bit about how I started with my career. I think that this storykind of relates a little bit also to you, and also to China. 　　I started way back as a weightlifter. I always liked the idea of lifting weights and being abodybuilder. From the first moment when I gripped a barbell and held it around the bar andlifted the steel up over my head, I felt this exhilaration, and I knew then that this issomething that I’m going to do; that I was in love with that, and this is going to be somethingthat I’m going to do. I’m going to pursue the sport of weightlifting and bodybuilding. 　　Now, I remember the first real workout that I had. Eight miles away from my home village inAustria there was a gymnasium, and I rode to that gymnasium with a bicycle. And there Itrained for half an hour, because they said that after half an hour you should stop becauseotherwise your body will get really sore. But after half an hour I looked at my body, and nothinghad happened. So I said, &I’d better work out for another half hour.& So I lifted
