How did Arnold Schwarzenegger fight against dyslexia?
It is not the first time, the Governator has thrown light on his early life. Schwarzenegger is often spotted sharing inspiring anecdotes from his life. He has earlier revealed how he had a hard time in the initial days after he was criticized about his physical features and was even told to change his name to get into Hollywood.
“Here’s my secret: I’m a terrible reader. They didn’t talk about learning disabilities in Austria in the 1950s, so most of the time, when I was asked to read out loud in class, it was just a disaster, and I got smacked with a ruler. But now I know that I’m dyslexic.”
But similar to his most stories, Arnold Schwarzenegger also proved to be a tough warrior in this battle. He found ways to tackle his dyslexia during his long-celebrated Hollywood career. ThePredatoractor admitted that he gives a lot of time to his scripts and speeches to grasp the words well and make sure the problem doesn’t block his road to success.
“I have found ways to make sure it doesn’t hold me back. It’s why when I prepare for a movie, I read the script over and over in the months before until every line is memorized, and when I give a speech, I do at least 20 practice reps so I can get my brain around the words.”
Even after so much, the 6ft 2in monster faced a gargantuan challenge when he was told to record his 200-page memoir within 3 days. Without prior practice, it was turning out to be an absolute nightmare before he devised a way to complete the ‘dreadful’ task.

Nobody can deny that Arnold Schwarzenegger always inspires his fans to fight their problems instead of complaining about them. He admitted that his task of recording the audiobook ofBe Usefulwas one of the most challenging tasks of his life, but with his strategies, he was able to complete the task with finesse.
The father-to-5 divided his work into small pieces and along with the help of a supportive team was successful in pulling off the task.
“I started early and just did it instead of putting it off (we all put things off when we worry about them, right?). I did constant reps to prepare. I broke it into small pieces instead of trying to bite off more than I could chew. And I had a fantastic support network.”
So even though it was hard enough to remind him about the painful days of ruler in school, he didn’t complain about it for long and started to work on it instead. Not only Arnold Schwarzenegger but several big personalities share the same mantra to success. It’s not about complaining but working on the problems that make us tougher.
