Book excerpt: As I learned and observed, I discovered that the oil business was similar to going to Atlantic City and gambling in the casinos. Even if at times you won big, eventually there'd be a losing streak that would leave you broke. I am not a gambler in the sense that I'll play the slots or the roulette wheel, so with the realization that I was in a business that was just as much a gamble as the gaming tables, I decided it was time to get out. Some of my investors who had hit oil didn't like the news that I was closing up shop. But within three months when the bottom fell out of the entire oil industry in the States, and they wanted to understand how I knew to quit. The only answer I could give them was that the Lord was directing me in some mysterious way.Want to turn your hobby into a lucrative career?
