Mark’s philosophy in life:
I believe we are all rough diamonds. Each of us carries unique brilliance and talents, yet we also hold imperfections. These flaws are part of the human experience—they do not diminish our value, but rather make us unique.

Life challenges us all, though for some, the obstacles are harrowing and the suffering deep. Such experiences can impact our physical, mental, and social well-being, sometimes holding us back from living fully. Yet, like diamonds, we are strong and resilient. With time, support from others, and a foundation of self-acceptance and forgiveness, hope emerges.

Suffering shapes us, imparting both wisdom and scars. We are always evolving—through joy and hardship alike. Our past does not define us, but it teaches us. The journey is to become the best version of ourselves, to live meaningfully, to care for both ourselves and the world around us, and to stand firmly in our values.
