Mrs Glockrunner Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Famed actor Arnold Schwarzenegger posted a photo of him sleeping on the street under his famous bronze statue, and sadly wrote "how times have changed". The reason he wrote the phrase was not only because he was old, but because when he was governor of California he inaugurated a hotel with his statue. Hotel staff told Arnold, "at any moment you can come and we’ll have a room reserved for you." When Arnold stepped down as governor and went to the hotel, the administration refused to give him a room arguing that he should pay for it, since they were in great demand. He brought a sleeping bag and stood underneath the statue and explained what he wanted to convey: "When I was in an important position, they always complimented me, and when I lost this position, they forgot about me and did not keep their promise. Do not trust your position or the amount of money you have, nor your power, nor your intelligence, it will not last. " Trying to teach everyone that when you're "Important" in people's eyes , everyone is your "Friend" But once you don't benefit their interests , you won't matter anymore. According to Arnold, "Nothing lasts forever". 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Spicoli Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Not a fan of Arnold but he is an immigrant success story. People say a lot of things to others they don't mean. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
