What was Getty's philosophy on success?
Success, in my view, is not a matter of luck, but of persistent effort, keen observation, and a willingness to take calculated risks. I believed that wealth is a byproduct of understanding and mastering fundamental principles of business and human nature. It requires an unyielding dedication to one's goals, an ability to learn from every experience, and a disciplined approach to management and investment.
