Accounting can be as delicious and cozy as a croissant Deloitte & Touche
In my freshman year, I took Fundamentals of Accounting. The textbook was written by one of the professors himself, briefly bound, with five words - Fundamentals of Accounting - printed right on top of the blue cover.
I remember an exam I did not memorize the problem set, but just read the "big blue book", but how to not understand the cost should be debit increase credit decrease or debit decrease credit increase, the result is only 72 points.
At the end of my sophomore year, I chose the CPA program to study. Every time on the intermediate financial accounting class, my book bag must be loaded with that blue book "Fundamentals of Accounting", so that I can always consult. After the accountant qualification out, heard the same exam room other professional students muttered curses: "I really do not know what accounting are talking about, learning accounting people are simply non-human."
Even for students who also studied this major, I often heard them complain, "Accounting is to make everything simple and complicated."
For a long time, I wondered if I was on the wrong boat.
Until one day, on the train to my grandmother's house, when I took out a copy of English for Accounting Professionals to memorize vocabulary, a little girl pointed to the English word for "balance sheet" and asked me what it meant. I was about to tell her, but suddenly realized that even if I told her what the word meant in Chinese, she still wouldn't know what it really meant.
At that moment, I realized that accounting is actually a special language that records and expresses the little and trivial things we do in finance in our daily life, and it is a very professional discipline. I suddenly felt an immense sense of pride in my profession.
The other day, my elder brother suddenly flashed me another new book - "Accounting Like a Croissant".
Seeing the title I froze half a day, comparing accounting to a croissant? What are the similarities between the two?
In the process of reading, I kept giggling, so accounting can really be so interesting, I thought accounting can only be mastered with an epiphany of becoming a Buddha on the ground.
This is an accounting book like a fairy tale. I always thought that there were only two kinds of fairy tales in the world: one for children and one for adults, both of which have to tell a truth to the person listening to the story. When I saw this book, I realized that there is a third type of fairy tale, the fairy tale of knowledge.
Remembering now, that blue book "Fundamentals of Accounting" was like a compressed cookie. Oh.
Originally, accounting can really be as delicious and cozy as a croissant.
