A professor's career is heavily affected by his or her teachers, colleagues, and students. Mine is no exception. No matter where I have worked, I have always benefited from the stimulation of those around me.
The teaching of accounting has provided concrete self-satisfaction. Compared to many subjects, the body of knowledge in accounting courses is relatively well-defined. So a teacher can obtain quick feedback on the amount learned by students, even on a day-today basis.
All in all, in over 40 years of teaching, I have had at least 12,000 students in various classes. Because I habitually invite comments and questions, I invariably obtain useful knowledge and insights from students. I am convinced that students have kept me younger than I would be otherwise.
Of course, there are costs and benefits from almost everything we do. Having had so many students, I always try to be on my best behavior. Big Brother may not be watching, but a student may be looking—especially in airports. You can judge whether such a phenomenon is a cost or a benefit.
Every once in a while, I get a note or a letter from a grateful student. Such kind words lighten my spirits enormously. I remember, as an 18-year-old army private, writing a thank-you letter to my stern, demanding, motivating high school English teacher. It made me feel good that I took the time to recognize superb teaching. I especially urge the young members of this audience to write at least one similar letter to a special teacher of theirs—not next year, but next week. Just do it.
