Life Is Too Short To Wake Up With Regrets! Love the people who treat you right & have compassion for the ones who don't.

Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam : "When I was a kid, my Mom cooked food for us. One night in particular when she had made dinner after a long hard day's work, Mom placed a plate of 'subzi' and extremely burnt roti in front of my Dad. I was waiting to see if anyone noticed the burnt roti. But Dad just ate his roti and asked me how was my day at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember I heard Mom apologising to Dad for the burnt roti. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burnt roti." Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy, good night & I asked him if he really liked his roti burnt. He wrapped me in his arms & said: "Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she was really tired. And besides... A burnt roti never hurts anyone but HARSH WORDS DO!" "You know beta - life is full of imperfect things... & imperfect people... I'M NOT THE BEST & AM HARDLY GOOD ...

Leadership is Action, not a position

Leader is a person who triggers and can't be defined as a person who initiates. A large part of being a student is to become a leader. Many strive hard to achieve that and fails. We often define a leader as a guiding individual who is first to initiate an idea or a movement. This video by TED Talks presents an alternative definition of leadership. In the video , the man begins to dance in front of a crowd . Soon, a second person joins and starts a chain reaction , with others doing the same . In many cases it is the first dancer who is considered as a leader because he starts the movement. However , the video shines light on the second dancer , and he is who transforms a single nut into a leader in the eyes of the public. Many of us are in a mad rush to be first , but we rarely stop to think if this is the right decision to make, as a leader . It is n ot always in the chronological order of the events that define a leader....

Bonds vs. debentures

When it comes to income and debts, bonds and debentures must be considered. Both bond and debentures belong to the classification of fixed income instruments. Holders of these instruments get the fixed income through the payments of interest. The interest will depend on the principal amount of purchase. It is very important to know the use and sources of these two. It is also very important to know the difference between these two either. Having the right information on these two instruments will definitely keep your money safe. Current interest rates indicate the prices of bonds and debentures. These rates are constantly fluctuating.

During the rise of inflation, the prices of the fixed income fluctuate. Other factors that affect the prices of these instruments are general terms, level of supply and demand, attractiveness of the issuer, ...

Creativity and Innovation in the Workplace

There was a time when the concept of creativity was only associated with writers, painters, musicians and similar people in artistic professions. But with the ever-increasing necessity of cultivating a unique brand personality, the need for creative thinking has transitioned from the arts into everyday business. In addition, the act of producing a product that distinguishes itself from competitors in a marketplace where differences are often hard to come by demands a high degree of creativity both in innovation and marketing. As a result, it’s now become commonplace for companies – both large and small – to adopt policies that foster creativity and thereby promote innovation. But what is meant by creativity? And how can it be harnessed effectively? Defining the Creative Environment Creativity is the mental and social process used to generate ideas, concepts and associations that lead to the exploitation of new ideas. Or to put it simply: innovation. Through the crea...

Financial Statements - Balance Sheet

An introduction to the financial statements The purpose of the three main financial statements is to report the  business’s financial performance and position to external users of  accounting information. It is important that they only reflect the  transactions of the business, and not the transactions of its owner(s). Although the business is accounted for separately to the owner’s personal  belongings and transactions, sole traders and partnerships are not  regarded as being legally separate from their owners. Companies are  different because the business is treated as being legally separate from its  owner(s) (who in this case are called shareholders). This means that there  are more rules about the preparation of financial statements for companies,  and there are also some items (such as ‘share capital’) that only appear in  company financial statements. The three main financial statements are the balance sheet (BS), profit  a...

Difference between: Managerial Accounting & Financial Accounting

Both professions are about counting money, but there is a big difference between managerial accounting and financial accounting. Accounting inside a company or the organization is called managerial accounting, while accounting outside of a company or an organization is called financial accounting.
