I left Canada to teach English in the Czech Republic in 1995. There are three chapters that cover my experience there which include meeting my first wife. Ten years later, I was in India on a new teaching job getting divorced. I met and dated Marta.

大家好，今天我们来聊一个重要的方法，叫“避实击虚”。什么意思呢？就是说，打仗的时候，不要直接去打敌人很强的地方，而是要去找敌人比较弱的地方去打。这就像水一样，水总是从高的地方流向低的地方。举个例子。以前，瑞士的手表世界第一，但后来日本做出了便宜、准确的电子表，很多人就不买瑞士表了。

瑞士人没有跟着日本做电子表（这是“避实”）。他们想：我们最会做机械表，技术特别好。于是，他们努力把机械表做得更薄、更漂亮，做出了别人没有的特别手表（这是“击虚”）。

最后，人们又重新喜欢瑞士表，瑞士又赢了。

所以，成功不是模仿别人，而是找到自己的长处，做自己最擅长的事。这就是“避实击虚”的智慧。

Saying Good Bye

 In questa quinta puntata, ci immergiamo nelle vicende di due figure emblematiche: il boss Vito Genovese e Lucky Luciano. Ambientata nel contesto della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, l'episodio svela come il tacito consenso del governo americano abbia favorito il ruolo strategico di questi personaggi nella risoluzione del conflitto in Italia.
Durante il racconto, analizzeremo nuove parole e termini legati al mondo della mafia, del contrabbando e della borsa nera, mettendo in luce il legame profondo tra storia e linguaggio. Verranno esplorati anche i riferimenti cinematografici, con un focus su film come Napoli milionaria, Ieri, oggi, domani e il film di Francesco Rosi su Lucky Luciano, che hanno saputo catturare e raccontare quell'epoca complessa. Un viaggio tra storia, potere e cultura, per comprendere come il denaro, il crimine organizzato e le strategie politiche abbiano lasciato un segno indelebile nel destino dell'Italia.
