 I'm from Texas, and I've been here for about 16 years, or here in Prague, just in Prague. I've lived here for 16 years or so, and one of my best friends, he's from Oklahoma, and he's also lived here. He's lived here longer than me, and so he was thinking about buying a house outside of Prague. He came to me and said, Joel, I've found this great piece of land. It's about 45 minutes out of Prague, and there's just this land. I'm going to buy it. I'm going to build a house with my family. It's going to be amazing. What do you think? I was thinking two things. Number one, I was thinking, I don't want him to do it because I'll lose my friend. He'll be here, but he won't be here. But I told him the first thing that came into my mind, and that was, I wouldn't do it. He said, why? I said, because I didn't move to the Czech Republic. I moved to Prague. This amazing city, Prague. To be honest, if you want to go build a house on a beautiful piece of land, you can do that in Oklahoma. I can do that in Texas, but neither one of us can live in Oklahoma or Texas and basically have the experience of being in Prague. So in the end, he didn't buy the house. He didn't buy the land. He's living in Prague. I like to think I have something to do with that. And in fact, over the years, he's mentioned a couple of times this conversation and how it did affect him, affected the way he thought. And it got me to thinking about how we influence other people and how people influence us, and especially me as a teacher here at Prague College. I teach, I focus in marketing. And at the beginning of every class, at the beginning of every semester, people come in and I have a few different types of students. One, quite often, they don't know anything about marketing. Another type of student, they don't care. They haven't ever thought about it. And another type of student always, every single year, there's always at least one student who comes in and says, Joel, I have to take this class, but I don't like marketing. I don't really want to be here. And so it's my job to take all these different views of marketing and try to teach them the fundamental aspect that marketing is a tool. And it's something that can be used for the greater good, for good, but it can also be used badly. And in the end, what it is, it's just a way, it's a great way for businesses to get more customers and to become more successful. But at the same time, it's a great way for people, for everybody, to find out about stuff that they want, or about things that they need, or things they want to do, things that's going to help them with their lives. And so from that point of view, I've found that I'm able to influence students, but my students are always influencing me as well. I feel that I'm much younger than I would be if I wasn't in a university setting, just mentally younger. And also, I find what I'm having to do is I'm constantly updating myself based on feedback from students and based on how students are influencing me. And I think Prague College is a multicultural university, which really, really helps the students get ready for the multicultural world that they're going to be working in and living in. And understanding how people influence you and how you influence them in everyday life, it's a really key thing to know, I feel.
