Si quieres llegar a la cima… / If you want to get to the top...

La persona que quiere llegar a la cima en los negocios debe apreciar el poder de la fuerza de la costumbre y debe entender que la práctica es lo que crea los hábitos. Tiene que ser rápido para romper con esos hábitos que pueden acabar con él y rápido para adoptar las prácticas que se convertirán en los hábitos que le ayuden a lograr el éxito que desea.”

“The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might of the force of habit and must understand that practices are what create habits. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires.”

Jean Paul Getty

Jean Paul Getty Nacido en Minneapolis, Minnesota, en los E.U.A. en una familia petrolera, fue uno de los primeros en el mundo con una fortuna superior a los 1.000 millones de dólares. Ávido coleccionista de arte y antigüedades, su colección y su mansión de Malibú fueron la base del Museo J. Paul Getty en California.

Jean Paul Getty (December 15, 1892 – June 6, 1976) was an American industrialist. He founded the Getty Oil Company, and in 1957 Fortune magazine named him the richest living American, whilst the 1966 Guinness Book of Records named him as the world's richest private citizen, worth an estimated $1.2 billion (approximately $8.7 billion in 2013). At his death, he was worth more than $2 billion (approximately $8.3 billion in 2013). A book published in 1996 ranked him as the 67th richest American who ever lived, based on his wealth as a percentage of the gross national product. Preceding him in death by two months, Howard Hughes' estate was listed at 2.5 billion.
