Accounting Software: The Possibilities of the Impossible
How embarrassing is must have been for those people who told Inventors that their vision was impossible.
Consider what was said about manned flight: “It’s impossible! If God had wanted man to fly he would have given us wings!”
Then there was the engineer who told Henry Ford, “It’s impossible to build a V8 motor.”
And of course, there’s my favorite; when The Boston Post stated, ‘well-informed people know it is impossible to transmit the voice over wires and that were it possible to do so, the thing would be of no practical value.’
Although in illustrious company, it is disappointing to hear from an accountant (who has never seen the eclat accounting software) refusing an opportunity to review the program with “It’s impossible for any accounting software to do what you say your program can do.”
Rather than become frustrated I force myself to remember what Winston Churchill said: “A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity; An optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.”
We are all working hard enough as it is. Now it’s time to find smarter ways to do our work. This means we must be continually vigilant of opportunities as they present themselves. We will never find improvement if we don’t keep pushing the boundaries. That is what human endeavour is all about.
I am extremely optimistic that the eclat Accounting Software will overcome the challenges within the accounting industry and the frustrations you may have when processing your BAS and GST.
