I would like to direct. I am also happy helping other directors realise their vision. I am happy being a cog in a wheel.

But if the vision is strong enough, and your goals are steady, and you believe, pretty soon you bring other people with you.

Romney is right that the Obama vision is too centered on government. But his is too centered on the promotion of business and wealth creation at the expense of everything else.

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.
