It was 1999 when I completed my Chartered Accountancy. That day I felt I have reached the peak. It was a justifiable ecstasy as then I joined the Elite Club of just a few thousand Chartered Accountants in Pakistan. Almost a decade passed and one fine day I started to realise that the concepts, theories, principles and so on that I have learnt during my Professional Education ad Work were just nothing. All these theories etc. were nothing but a great intellectual fraud.
The Cost Accounting & Management Accounting which took most of the time to learn and master had been proven ineffective tool for Management about two decades ago by Eliyahu M. Goldratt.
And the Risk Management, Portfolio Management, Diversification, Feasibility Studies to my great surprise and horror also fell in the category of Great Intellectual Fraud (GIF) when I got my hands on Nassim Nicholas Taleb's THE BLACK SWAN.
My idea to create a blog of my own is to share the pearls of wisdom that I collect from the Smartest and Ultra Genius. The list includes:
1- Nassim Nicholas Taleb ( scholar, writer, teacher in the filed of Sciences of Uncertainty) www.fooledbyranomness.com
2- Eliyahu M. Goldratt, creator of the Theory of Constraints, and has a Doctorate in Physics www.goldratt.co.uk
3- Dr. Gerd Gigerenzer, Director of the Centre for Adaptive behaviour and Cognition at Max Planck Institute for Human Development http://ntfm.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/mpib/FMPro?-db=MPIB_Mitarbeiter.FP5&-lay=L1&-format=MPIB_Mit.htm&-op=eq&ID_Name=Gigerenzer&-find
4- Joseph Heller, the Author of Famous Catch 22.
5- Paul E. Erdman the Economist and Economic Fiction writer.
6-Malcolm Gladwell- the author of THE BLINK & THE TIPPING POINT http://www.gladwell.com/
The ideas that I keep looking for are Human Intelligence, Chaos Theory, Theory of Constraints and their application in the Fields of Management.
