Psychology Quote by Arnold Schwarzenegger

“Rest, let your body relax and grow. Work up gradually and don't blow it. Sometimes you can do so much your mind gets sick of it. Remember what I said earlier: Keep your mind hungry. People have a tendency to overdo things at first and then sluff off.” quote by Arnold Schwarzenegger
