Collin County Living Well Magazine January/February 2020 | Page 6

FROM THE PUBLISHER COLLIN COUNTY PRESIDENT & CEO Sam Houston VICE PRESIDENT & CFO Spring Houston DECADE OF CHANGE I t’s 2020. Let that sink in. To put it into perspective, 36 years ago our cover celebrity, Arnold Schwarzenegger, took on the breakout movie role of cyborg assassin, Terminator, who was sent back in time from 2029 to 1984. Time certainly does fly, but it’s been quite a ride for Schwarzenegger. The bodybuilder once known as The Austrian Oak is the proverbial American success story. Born into an Austrian family that valued auster- ity and hard work, Schwarzenegger was taught that being the best was defined by winning and winning came from work. Built like an iron-mus- cled war machine, he took American bodybuilding by storm and par- layed his success on that stage to a career as a blockbuster action star. Never satisfied with standing still, Schwarzenegger went on command California’s highest office as governor, thereby transcending his status as a sports and movie icon to become one of the most famous people of the last four decades, a startling achievement in both scope and magnitude. Now, he’s set to head into a fresh decade where anything is possible, at least as far as Schwarzenegger is concerned. Check out the profile on this ageless celebrity in this issue to find out why he con- tinues to seek greatness and is looking forward to what’s next for 2020 and beyond. On the subject of the New Year, it’s time to take inventory, set goals, and take charge of your life. Of course, making resolutions is easier said than actually following through with them.
