The Budget of our life!!

Here is a very interesting piece of poetry published in the Times of India , special issue"The Speaking Tree" that I wanted to share it with my blog readers.TOI has recently come up with the Crest edition and the newly launched "The Speaking Tree" which offers a lot of interesting and useful articles to their readers.Their effort in bringing up these issues needs to be appreciated.Keep the good work going ,TOI team!!

Here is the poem:

Birth is our opening Balance,
Death , our closing balance,
Prejudiced views are our liabilities,
Creative ideas and good deeds, assets.
Heart is our current asset,
Soul, our fixed asset,
Brain, a fixed deposit,
Thinking, our current account.
Goodwill and achievements are our capital;
Character and morals, our stock-in-trade,
Friends, our general reserves,
Values and Behaviour, our goodwill.
Patience is interest earned, Love, our dividend,
Children, our bonus issues,
Education, a brand,
Knowledge is our investment.
Profit and loss is karma earned.
Before final assessment(death),
Balance your sheet!
