Arnold Schwarzenegger's 2017 University of Houston Commencement Address

I was proud to give the commencement address to the University of Houston Cougar graduating class of 2017. My message: don't ever call me a self-made man. Once you realize that you are the product of a lot of help, you will acknowledge that you must help others.

[@thebeststooge]

THIS IS WHY I LOVE HIM - "My message: don't ever call me a self-made man. Once you realize that you are the product of a lot of help, you will acknowledge that you must help others." More people need to recognize this about themselves.

[@JoanMendoza]

4:40 Wow I've always like Arnold, but his thoughts on how no one is self made makes me respect him on a whole new level.

[@Antoine_Fainthearted]

GET TO DA PODIUM!

There’s no other greater joy than having financial freedom and a life free of debts, all thanks to Mr carlos, cause he made me who I am today through binary trade. He has helped me a lot with his trading strategies which helps me to earn $12,550 weekly. I really appreciate it and can't help but let others know about it because it is so suitable anyone can trade from anywhere and anythime, you can reach mr carlos on IG @carlos_1uptrades His indeed a God sent. now i dont need to be working 9-5!.

[@timboslice1979]

I've always admired Arnold's appreciation for others who have helped him and his admiration of America. Very unusual of the hollywood elite. If Arnold reads his comments, God Bless Sir.

[@mymillionTV]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! ARNOLD!

[@theexpendables3hd]

ARNOLD IS A LEGEND FOREVER!!!

[@TopStrikerMaverick]

Personally I’m a Stallone fan…

[@silversurfer5198]

"None of us can make it alone" ... NONE OF US! Thank you Arnie, for these wonderful and inspiring words!

[@PatDenis]

You are an inspiration for me Arnold, you rock!

[@balasingam1017]

Same 🖐️

[@jonathannightfire8768]

That graduation speech at University of Houston was excellent Arnold. Excellent!

[@AjayMeena-lm9uq]

He is the BEST person in the world. he wanted to be the greatest bodybuilder but he came out as a greatest man on earth. I WANNA MEET HIM. 😍

[@sXeVaker]

With all that being said...I'LL BE BACK

[@ryanclair1901]

This speech just motivated me to text my friend and volunteer to help him move to his new apartment. Figured I could lend a helping hand like Arnie's bodybuilding friends

[@thcollegestudent]

If only a few herd him that day, really herd his words, the ripples of positivity they create will be felt for generations

[@joeblackman100]

Well said Arnold, my all time hero & inspiration

[@andreapiccini7383]

the best action star ever

[@theexpendables3hd]

FACT

[@xtraspecialmango]

President Schwarzenegger 2020 - Make it happen America!! :)

[@youngkinghedwig]

I’d actually vote for the first time if Arnold were able to run for president

[@AridersLifeYT]

he cant win, not born here

[@poggersplayer69]

FuturisticHub, who the fuck are you? Dumb bitch.

[@biglee13m]

He's amazing in many areas but wasn't good at governing.

[@boipleasestop6521]

@FuturisticHub Atleast he would do a better job than you. All you do is make shitty videos and is barely talked about nowadays. Like, who the fuck are you? Arnold on the other hand is waaay above your league, he has done more in his life then you ever will.

[@CryptoAvengerTV]

"Mr. Schwarzenegger I wish you a speedy healthy recovery from your surgery" I know YOU WILL BE BACK! 😎💪

[@uttisiseppe769]

"Hasta la vista baby" "I'll be back"

[@jjdpc2000]

Fabulous to see Arnold recognize Joe Weider and everyone else that was instrumental in his success. Arnold is truly a beautiful human being. Best speech I’ve ever heard from Arnold....

[@renainc.6082]

I think Arnold grew more humble as he aged

[@scghost]

still the best

[@seanmacleod1724]

This is such a good speech, and an important one too. It's something that young people should listen to and think about. Yes, work hard and do your best, but be aware that we all need a helping hand from time to time... Thanks Arnie 😊👍

[@letstrend]

Schwarzenegger you're just too fuckin cool!

[@thegreatcalvinio]

*Hasta la vista, baby!*

[@Chuckberry30]

WOW! I never knew he was such a great inspirational speaker. Great job!

[@mikemike7397]

I got goose bumps when he said “cougar!”.

[@KlaraMacciotta]

The speech from a man with TONS of determination, I agree, it is NOT easy to have an accent, some people will mimic it and make you feel inferior, a determined mind won't STOP his goals due to that! ♥️ Love this: "Don't ever call me a self-made man." Feel BETTER @Schwarzenegger and please rest a lot after the open heart surgery, miss seeing you every first Monday of the month at Schatzi's at Cigar nights, met amazing people during that time!

[@Tracks777]

Awesome! Keep it up!

[@SM0R3S]

Wish you could run for president.

[@thatsidewaysdud7623]

Vote for me if you want to live

[@richfuturebydsk2562]

Thanks a lot 🙏 for Arnold. Much support from 🇿🇦 ZAR - Durban Rich Future by DSK Clothing...

[@taylormoye7098]

I love Arnold, but hearing him chant with a German accent and all the masses replying reminded me of something…🤔. 😂😂😂💀

[@tod4y]

The subtitles are quite disturbing.

[@punchline43]

I'm sure that's just for the hearing impaired. KZbin uses CC sometimes anyway.

[@sonicstep]

I was so engrossed with what he had to say that I hardly noticed them. As such, I have to wonder whether you actually listened to what Arnold had to say. Because for those who are blessed with the ability to hear, it was more about listening 👂 than watching 👀

[@PavelKralKafeman]

Put that cookie down, NOW!!

[@antreasgeorgiou6111]

Arnold you are the best bodybuilder and the best actor .. I am graduated of school in 20 days..You come to Greece in the school?

[@AlekseiTretiakov]

[@DomoniqueStewart3936]

"RELAX, YOU'VE BEEN ERASED." QUOTED BY ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, OF COURSE. I ACTUALLY HAVE ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER DVD/VHS MOVIES OF ALL TIME RIGHT HERE, BABY. OH, YEAH.

[@ngalahansel6066]

Anyone else find it strange that Arnold's accent is so familiar it doesn't even sound like an accent anymore? Lol. Thanks for making some of my favorite movies sir.

We need to pass an amendment to allow certain qualified immigrants to run for high office in the U.S.

[@EmanuelEDTraxedmano15]

I'm becuse we are. No one is slef-made, we learn since childhood from adults, schooling, kids mimic others mostly people in TV, both good and bad. Then life shape us , also still we are all different anyway. sometimes to much.

[@houarichouari5651]

He has n word in his name.

[@JamesMMcCann]

Arnold was disappointed, he was hoping cougar nation meant something else...

[@winyou1992535]

This man should be the president, not just the governor!! Thanks Arnold for giving us the inspiration

[@PeterSchneemann]

Look at the subtitles: "... you can call me the Austrian okay". Is this done by a computer or by incompetent people?

[@PeterSchneemann]

Was für eine Aussprache... So soll jeder auf Englisch sprechen!!!

[@cupoverflow2786]

Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of America's Finest citizens

[@authentictopnews5889]

Pollution issues are not addressed properly and the actions taken are INAPPROPRIATE; everybody focuses on the wrong culprit.

Everybody thinks hes dead but hes not

[@KingOfChaos213]

This video had me on the edge of my seat, i was waiting for ICE to come charging in to put the cuffs on Arnie at any moment.

[@BadMannerKorea]

Your comment makes absolutely no sense. Arnold got his United States citizenship in 1983.

Arnold Schwarzenegger for president!

[@CezaRRRomano]

An icon

[@kidsundance3970]

yes, but you'll find some assholes would not let you even help others, people is evil

[@christopherwilliams4113]

Hi Arnold I just wanted to say I'm a huge fan of all your movies. You are a true icon and an inspiration, to all the people around the world. You are also one of my favourite action heroes of all time. I love your character of Terminator it is so good, your such a bad ass. The Terminator and Terminator 2 Judgment Day are one of my favourite movies of all time. Once when I was in high school. They were having a world national book day. And you could come in fancy dress. And so I came in dressed as The Terminator and all my friends in school loved it. Just to let you know I'm very talented I can be an actor on stage, be a musician sing, play the drums. Be a comedian I like to make people laugh and I also do impressions. I'm also an artist, film maker, and I like to write stories. It would be so awesome if you came to visit Stoke-on-Trent, England. I would love to get the chance to meet you. And get an autograph. My next goal is to take up exercising. You could train me like a machine I'll be Back 😎
