    Karen Berman: Financial Intelligence: A Manager's Guide to Knowing What the Numbers Really Mean

  • Harvard University Press: Financial Intelligence
    CFO.com "It's like The Elements of Style of finance." Book Description Understanding the Financials—and What Lies Behind Them Managers in every business are expected to use financial data to make decisions, allocate resources, and budget expenses. But the truth is, many are uncomfortable applying the most basic financial tools in their day-to-day work. Even managers who consider themselves financially savvy may not understand what goes into a financial statement, and so may take the numbers as gospel when they should be questioning them. In Financial Intelligence, Karen Berman and Joe Knight present the essentials of finance, but with an extra dimension. Succinct, easy-to-read chapters teach the fundamentals in a way that everyone can understand and put to work right away. But the authors also take you behind the scenes, to show where the numbers come from. Since nobody can quantify everything, accountants and finance executives always rely on estimates, assumptions, and judgment calls, which can skew the numbers in one direction or another. This book helps you recognize and understand those biases, challenge or correct for them when necessary, and use this information to be a better manager. Based on their work training tens of thousands of managers and employees at many leading organizations, Berman and Knight provide readers with a deep understanding of: The basics of financial measurement: reading income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and moreThe art of finance: separating hard data from assumptions and estimatesThe mechanics of analysis: calculating ratios, return on investment, and working capitalCash and profit: knowing the difference between them, and why cash is suddenly the "hot" number in corporate boardrooms and on Wall StreetFinancial literacy and transparency: recognizing how they can boost performance Accessible, jargon-free, and filled with entertaining stories from real companies, Financial Intelligence will help nonfinancial managers add substantially more to their companies’—and their own—success. If you have ever wanted to "talk numbers" confidently with your colleagues, this is the book for you. (*****)

Address?

How do relationships usually start?

The obvious answer would be to date. If your thousands of miles apart, traditionally you would send letters. With the power of the internet, we have a stupendous amount of options.

Everybody has obligations in life, I have one that is rather important right now. It is the ratio of my existence.

God knows I'd rather be with you D**A.

Alhamdullilah, Thank You Ya Allah.

The best times in my life were spent in the 1980's.

Back then life was simple. I have loving parents which I can never forget.

My family is close, they brought me up as they saw fit. As a young boy, you only had so much to do.

Each birthday spent were full of good memories. Everybody I knew back then were so close together. This included family (immediate and non-immediate) my god fathers, my uncles my aunties and all the people whom gave me so much love back then. Some of which who have passed on. May god rest their souls in the highest heavens.

Growing up is painful but is a much needed process.

I believe I have found my soulmate in life. The feeling is coming back.

I love you all especially you know who.

Love

Today is the greatest day I've ever known.

Can't live for tomorrow, tomorrow is much too long. - Smashing Pumpkins-Siamese Dream'-Today'

A man without a woman is a headless chicken on the prowl.

A man without words is a heartless soul on the journey of life.

A woman without A man is you my dear.

Love IT or Leave IT

Not many 25 year olds are as lucky as I am.

I've been given an opportunity to succeed. There's no reason for me to blow it. Complaining does not solve any problems. Just be thankful.

There's no point striving to be the richest multi billionare in this world when you are intentions are to hurt others.

Everybody needs a friend. Everybody has family.

Learn from experiences and never forget thy mistakes.
