About This Quote

No sir," said Mr Molloy. "I'm mighty sorry I can't meet you in any way, but the fact is I'm all fixed up in Oil. Oil's my dish. I began in Oil and I'll end up in Oil.

This exchange highlights the problems that people face when they are living without a sense of purpose or passion. If you are not happy with your current situation, you will have a hard time building a solid foundation to succeed.

If you are not focused on what will bring you happiness, then nothing will bring it to you. When people are so focused on what they do not want or what they do not have, they miss out on all of the things that really matter.
