The Secrets of Success

The great oil man, H. L. Hunt, who was at one time the
richest self-made billionaire in the world, was once asked
by a television journalist for his “secrets of success.” He
replied: “There are only three requirements for success.
First, decide exactly what it is you want in life. Second,
determine the price that you are going to have to pay to
get the things you want. And third, and this is most important,
resolve to pay that price.”
