Balance Sheet of Life

A close colleague forwarded this article just a few days ago.

Although my work is really IT in nature, I have been exposed to the accounting side during my 7-year stay in the company. Although I can never claim to be a certified accountant nor an accountant at heart, I have learned little by little to appreciate the complexities and wonders behind financial statements, debit/credit and the like. This is the reason why I felt such an affinity when I read this particular article... Enjoy reading! :)

Balance Sheet of Life

Our Birth is our Opening Balance
Our Death is our Closing Balance
Our Prejudiced Views are our Liabilities

Our Creative Ideas are our Assets
Heart is our Current Asset
Soul is our Fixed Asset

Brain is our Fixed Deposit
Thinking is our Current Account
Achievements are our Capital

Character & Morals, our Stock-in-trade
Friends are our General Reserves
Values & Behavior are our Goodwill

Patience is our Interest Earned
Love is our Dividend
Children are our Bonus Issues

Education is Brands / Patents
Knowledge is our Investment
Experience is our Premium Account

The Aim is to Tally the Balance Sheet Accurately.

The Goal is to get the Best Presented Accounts Award.
