Thanks fellows for the your kind words.
What can i say!!! As you know my objective for being on this board
is to share some of the experiences that i have gained over the years in the field of accounting, specially , working abroad.I was hoping that this will add interseting prespective for new and seasoned accountants on this site.
It is NOT my objective to pick fights with young and new entrants in the field. I have bigger battles to fight and bigger fishes to fry.
My main competition in last number of years come from white(mostly Jewsih) accountants in north america. Specially the Jewish accounting/financial people who are standard bearer of professionalism in North America. No matter how much we disgree with them, i will have to admit that as a group i have not seen such professional anywhere else in the world. So you can see i play in a different arena.
I also understand the frustration of angry young men (mostly in 20s).
I was one of them at some time in the past. This is an age where you are new in practical life. The first person that you run into trouble is the mean spirited partner at your firm. And you began to wonder why he dislike you so much. What have you done wrong to deserve this treatment! This encounter can give scars that affect other parts of your life. I wish we have some counselling at this stage. In developed countries they provide this service, where professionals help young people to cope with teething problems of life. I hope one day we will be able to do this in our country.
I just want to let you friends know that i don't draw any income from Pakistan. My contribution on this board is a way to give back some of what i receieved from my country of birth. I will continue to do so as long as possible.
Thank you for your attention and we will meet again i promise you that.
Take Care
