Hey Marcus speaking (or writing, whatever) !
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the value of sharing ideas openly. The digital world is filled with noise, with quick takes and surface-level discussions. But the things that truly matter — the ideas that shape how we communicate, do business, and view the world — often require deeper exploration. That’s why I’m starting this blog.
This space will be about three things that drive me: languages, business ethics, and philosophy. At first glance, they might seem like separate worlds, but for me, they are deeply interconnected.
Languages: The Keys to Connection
Language is so much more than grammar and vocabulary. It’s about connection, culture, and understanding. Learning a language isn’t just a skill — it’s an act of bridging worlds. Whether it’s speaking a few phrases in Sinti Romani at a traffic light, closing a business deal in Mandarin, or ordering food in a Parisian café, each language offers a new way to experience life.
I believe languages give us access to perspectives we would never otherwise understand. When you learn a language, you aren’t just learning words; you’re learning the logic, the humor, and the worldview of an entire community. I want to share my journey through languages and what they reveal about the world — the surprising, the challenging, and the delightful moments that come with stepping outside of one’s linguistic comfort zone.
Business Ethics: Doing Business the Right Way
In today’s hyper-competitive world, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that success justifies any means. But I believe that true, sustainable success is rooted in ethics, fairness, and integrity. Doing business isn’t just about making money; it’s about creating value, building trust, and contributing positively to society.
I want to explore how business decisions can align with ethical principles — how transparency, respect, and honesty aren’t just moral choices, but strategic advantages. In a world where consumers and partners are increasingly conscious of who they work with, ethical business practices aren’t optional. They are essential. Through this blog, I hope to dig into real-world examples, dilemmas, and stories that illustrate how ethics and business go hand in hand.
Philosophy: Thinking Deeper About Life and Work
Philosophy might seem like an abstract, academic pursuit, but it’s actually one of the most practical tools we have. At its core, philosophy is about asking the right questions and challenging assumptions. In business, in language learning, and in life, the ability to think critically and reflect deeply is priceless.
I want to use this blog to explore philosophical ideas that apply to our everyday lives. What does it mean to act with integrity? How do different cultures approach ethics? What can ancient wisdom teach us about modern challenges? By looking at these questions through a philosophical lens, I believe we can find clarity, purpose, and direction.
Why This Matters
Languages, business ethics, and philosophy might seem like a strange mix, but to me, they’re all about the same thing: understanding ourselves and others better. They’re tools for growth, for connection, and for building a life and career that we can be proud of.
This blog will be a place where I share what I’m learning, thinking, and questioning. It won’t be perfect — I’ll stumble, I’ll get things wrong — but it will be honest. I hope it sparks conversations, encourages reflection, and maybe even inspires you to explore these topics in your own life.
So here’s to new ideas, deeper connections, and doing things the right way. I’m excited to get started, and I hope you’ll join me on this journey.
Let’s learn, think, and grow together.
