About This Quote

It is important to know that when you are working at something that only has the capacity to make you 5 dollars, it does not matter how much harder you work – the most you will make is 5 dollars. This quote is actually a paraphrase of a statement that John Paul Getty said about the oil business. What he was trying to say is that people who are in this business should not work so hard on making money because even if they are willing to work hard, they will not earn much money because oil production can only be 5 dollars per barrel. Therefore, if the oil price is low, people are not motivated to work hard.
