Quote by Alfred A. Montapert

In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface operations. Then someone got the idea that there were greater sources of supply deeper down. A well was drilled five thousand feet deep. The result? A gusher. Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to find supernatural resources. The result is, we never operate at our best. More time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.

In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface

Summary

This quote uses a metaphor of drilling for oil to explain the idea that many people only scratch the surface in life, failing to tap into their true potential. It suggests that just as oil exploration moved deeper to discover greater resources, individuals must also delve deeper to unlock their supernatural or hidden abilities. While going deep may require more time and effort, the quote implies that the rewards will be worth it, as operating at one's best will yield significant benefits.
