Hard background or not, the need for more from yourself can be universal, it’s just how much you want thats different person to person

Hard times can make or break you. For some difficulty can be the leading factor for why they become a successful person. For others difficulty, especially during periods of childhood, can cause lifelong trauma that destabilises them as an adult. The most therapeutic perspective is to acknowledge that human beings differ from one another.

But it takes mental fortitude. Not everyone who comes from coal, can forge themselves into a diamond.

Depends on the severity of it, the person, and probably other factors. I think it depends on if it was a tough childhood or traumatic. The saying what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger is sometimes negligent of the realities of mental health

Absolutely they can! Perhaps that was the primal impetus for his hunger and desire to be the best.

Hard times do not necessarily produce capable men, the same way that good times do not always produce useless men! If you are of a strong and capable mind, then you have a fighting chance. Arnold was born at the right time in history, where he was lucky enough to meet Joe Weider! Without him, it's unlikely that the world would have taken any real notice. Being a great bodybuilder is a good start, but in Weider he found a master salesman and promoter.

It depends on the person. I personally became so depressed that I had be taken to a psychiatric hospital. Abuse at the school and home didn't do a lot of good. And then I slowly started adjust. Working out helps a bit. Takes my mind off of stuff.

Yep Austrians had a tough childhood during mid 40s and later coz they just had lost a war due to which their economy fell down & this in turn reduced wages..though Arnold's father was the chief police officer of the town but he was earning really mediocre in a war torn country

Just watched an interview with the psychologist who screens Delta Force candidates. She said that a rough childhood was a huge factor.

It can go either way. Either the pressure turns you into a diamond or you're beaten into submission and never feel like you are worth anything so why try?

Fortunately so, because for extreme hard times always leads to earned accomplishments. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I'm reading a book about Arnold Schwarzenegger very interesting. He was in the army then he got to leave the army and became a trainer. That's where he met his best friend Franco columbu. I think after he started training and even when he was early he didn't win at first but then once he started racking in the wins. Once you start winning Mr Olympia I knew all his all his wins eventually would be amazing all those wins. And in my opinion I think he is the greatest bodybuilder from his body of work.

Most of the old bodybuilding guys had hard childhood and upbringing. Same with the women.

Arnold had a tough background… his childhood wasn’t easy, and he didn’t always get the support he needed 😔💭 Maybe that’s what pushed him to become unstoppable. Do you think hard times can create greatness? 👇
