Bigs Quote by Mark Zuckerberg

“My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that, as if I don't care about revenue or profit or any of those things. But what not being just a company means to me is not being just that - building something that actually makes a really big change in the world.” quote by Mark Zuckerberg
