* Balance Sheet of Life

 

Balance Sheet of Life (Thomas J. Watson)

 

Thomas J. Watson, founder of IBM, didn't believe the road to happiness and

success was all that complicated. In fact, he often listed their components

in balance sheet format.

 

Liabilities:

Reactionary Ideas!

Love of money!

Unwholesome companions!

Lax character!

Lack of love for others!

False Friends

 

Assets

Vision

Unselfishness

Love

Good Character

Good manners

Friendship

 

To Watson Sr., life was like a balance sheet. And in life, as in business,

building assets and reducing liabilities makes for good progress.

 

[Thomas J. Watson Jr. and Peter Petre, Father Son & Co., My Life at IBM and

Beyond (New York: Bantam Books, 1990), p. 50-51.]
