It’s all about Debit and Credit; is it!
The assistant to the
chief accountant is puzzled. Most of the time when the chief consults some
accounts or is preparing a report and is searching for some answer or something
he pulls out his desk drawer, takes out a worn envelope, removes a yellowing
sheet of paper, reads it, nods his head, looks around the room with renewed
vigor, returns the envelope to the drawer, and then successfully solves the
issue or completes the report. The assistant always wonders: what is written in
that piece of paper that gives answer to most problems!
After a few years it’s
time for the chief to retire and the assistant is considered for filling in his
shoes and hence given a promotion (and a raise). He is happy.
After the old man retires
and leaves the office the new chief accountant goes and occupies the seat. After
sometime he pulls out the drawer and to his wild surprise the greying envelop is
still sitting inside the drawer.
He can’t wait to read for
himself the message contained in the envelope in the drawer, particularly since
he feels so inadequate in replacing the far wiser and more highly esteemed erstwhile
incumbent (the old accountant). Surely, he thinks to himself, it must contain
the great secret to his success, a wondrous treasure of inspiration and
motivation. His fingers tremble anxiously as he removes the mysterious envelope
from the drawer, empties its yellowing sheet of paper and reads.
The yellow sheet contains
only two lines:
"Debits towards the
door”
“Credits toward the window."
“Credits toward the window."

Wish you all the best!
Dear
friend,
In
a weeks’ time- precisely on 15 December 2013- you will face your CPT exams. It’s
time to consolidate. However, it’s also time you stilled your nerves.
I
wish you all, all the very best and hope you will come out with flying colors.
As
for your confidence I can’t think of signing off with a better poem that the following
from the inimitable Walter D. Wintle (from his “If you think you
can”):
If you think you're outclassed, you are:
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.”
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.”
