Tom Freston Quotes

I’ve never been fired in my life. From anything. I’ve never failed at anything I’ve tried Picture Quote #1

When I got fired, I had a feeling of loss because Viacom had been a passionate long-term relationship. But I got my balance back. I guess its like getting jilted by a girlfriend, a serious girlfriend. You move on Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been fired in my life. From anything. I’ve never failed at anything I’ve tried Picture Quote #1
