My life experience has taught me that #networking is THE most powerful method of achieving personal and professional goals. So many opportunities came my way in life simply because I struck up a meaningful conversation with someone. #selfreflection

No matter how much the world tries to hold you back, ALWAYS continue with the belief that what you want to achieve is possible. Believing you can become successful is the most important step in actually achieving it.

A story about believing in yourself...

A gentleman was walking through an elephant camp, and he spotted that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by the use of chains.

[Arun K Mathur FCPA, FCA, LPA @ArunMathur_FCPA]

The only reason that the elephants weren’t breaking free and escaping from the camp was that over time they adopted the belief that it just wasn’t possible.

You may have heard recent news about an accounting firm being fined $100 million for cheating on ethics exams. As a professional accountant, an ethics trainer, and an alumni of this firm, here are some of my thoughts on the matter. https://t.co/Rw5TpAj3na

I have & always will believe that there is more “good” going on out there than there is “bad.” Some days it’s hard to believe that, especially since negative news gets more attention. But we have to keep focusing on the good - keep doing more of it, and get others on board too.

Behind every corporate scandal is bankers, lawyers, accountants and other professionals who enabled unethical behaviour.

“Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.”

Plant a banana seed & you'll get a banana tree.
Plant an apple seed & you'll get an apple tree.
You can't plant a banana seed & expect apples to grow.

Similarly, dishonest & unethical actions now won't lead to sustainable, long term success.

When I hear a lot of people talking about ethics, they're talking from a compliance POV. This is like someone saying - here are the rules, please follow them. In reality, CPAs face all kinds of pressures on the job. That's where your personal ethical compass has to kick in.

No society can survive if the majority of their people behave unethically - it will just not work.

What meaning will you give?

1+1 can equal more than 2 if we focus on delivering value rather than completing a transaction.

Business & finance is very complex. The accountant is often an underappreciated but invaluable resource that can help w/ performance measurement, risk eval, financial projections & w/ evaluating assumptions. These are crucial aspects of making the best decisions for the business.

[Arun K Mathur FCPA, FCA, LPA @ArunMathur_FCPA]

Professional accountants help create a prosperous world. They do the heavy lifting, the time consuming and unpopular detailed work, so that business owners make the best decisions & can enjoy even greater success - which results in greater employment & prosperity in society.

The simple, ultimate goal.
