Mark Di-Toro

"Don’t follow what everyone is doing and think that’s your path. It isn’t. Think deeply about what you want to become (the why), then work out what you need to make it happen (the how). Build your life on solid momentum and stop chasing big moments - if you do this well, the big moments will come."
