Business Quote by Mitt Romney
“Thats what this President doesnt seem to understand. Business and growing jobs is about taking risk, sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding, but always striving. It is about dreams. Usually, it doesnt work out exactly as you might have imagined. Steve Jobs was fired at Apple. He came back and changed the world.”
