The Walk of Life

Received an interesting 'Short Take on Life' from an accountant friend of mine and I find it quite relevant to my recent experience which I posted under 'Life in Suspension' a few days ago. I think for most people who had gone through a serious illness to the point of nearly dying, they do reflect on life! It would be nice if we do reflect on our lives every now and then so as to keep us in balance. Naturally we got so caught up with the busyness of living and things, that we do not pause long enough to reflect, think of our friends and family members. I hope this short, creative work of some accountant (I guess) serves to remind us to pause and reflect more!

BALANCE SHEET OF LIFE ………….

Our Prejudiced Views are our Liabilities

Our Creative Ideas are our Assets

Heart is our Current Asset

Soul is our Fixed Asset

Friends are our General Reserves
