Wenn schon, denn schon

I’ve been enjoying Arnold Schwarzenegger’s autobiography “Be Useful.” I’m especially fascinating by folks who’ve done incredibly well across a range of disciplines. And Arnold’s exploits in body building, then acting, and then politics definitely makes him a fascinating study.

Outside of his incredible positive, I love the idea of “Wenn schon, denn schon.” This German phrase roughly translates to – if you’re going to do it, do it with all your effort/go all in. In Arnold’s words, “success is whole-assing whatever you do.”

It resonated.
