Language of Business

Everyone talked about Prof Bolante as a very competent person in his field. Seniors said, "If you want to get a sound understanding of the language of business, there is none better than Prof. Bolante." With just five weeks in to the course, I have realized that Prof. Bolante is more than just competence. He is humorous, fearful and dangerous all at the same time. Nevertheless, I owe to this man the gift of appreciation to one of the finest languages mankind has ever developed - the language of Business.

The existence of huge organizations, is a credit to evolution of finance. It is finance that has given the means to hold organizations together. It has given the tools to formulate better decisions to run the organizaitons in a more efficient manner. The most beatiful aspect is that everything rests on the simple concept of debit and credit. The very concept of duality in finance has put me in a state of awe. Duality is an excellent example of how some of the most important and critical things are conceptually very simple. It is because of this simple concept that man has been able to create huge organizations. Had there been no language to synchronise organizations, then we would still have been living like tribals - small and divided.

Now back to reality. Till now, Prof Bolante has taken two quizzes in his course and I have flunked both. I think its time that I stop appreciating the subject and get down to do some serious studying.
