Turtle

"Imagine that the whole earth was covered with water, and a man was to throw a yoke with a hole in it into the water. Blown by the wind, that yoke would drift north, south, east and west. Now, suppose that once in hundred years a blind turtle would rise to the surface. What do you think? Would that turtle put his head through the hole in the yoke as he rose to the surface once in a hundred years?"

"It is unlikely Lord."

"Well, it is just as unlikely that one will be born as a human being; it is just unlikely that a Tathagata, a Noble One, a fully enlightened Buddha should arise in the world; and it is just as unlikely that the Dhamma and discipline of the Tathagata should be taught. But now you have been born as a human being, a Tathagata has arisen and the Dhamma has been taught. Therefore, strive to realize the Four Noble Truths."

IAS and IFRS

After cleaning up and throwing out my old Form 6 notes and papers, suddenly I need to do a project on financial policies.. and I suddenly recalled, I have learned about IAS before back in Form 6, and even had to memorize some of them!

Sadly, right now I can only recall that I had learned about them but I still can't really remember how to apply them. Looks like there are a lot of work to be done to get myself up to speed again.

This is really a "out of sight, out of mind" case. Nevermind, I am sure I will be able to catch-up again!
