来年の自己啓発テーマ

最近はめっきり朝夕が冷え込むようになり、都心でも木々の葉が少しずつ色づいて、あちこちで秋らしい景色が見られるようになってきました。

この時期になると、来年はどんなことをしようか、あれこれ考え始めます。

去年の今頃はまだ何に取り組むか全く考えてもいませんでしたが、正月には気象予報士試験合格を目指すことを決め、受験勉強を始めました。気象予報士試験への挑戦は１年、２年と続くものと考えていたところ、思いもかけず年内に合格できてしまいましたので、気象予報士としての技術の研鑽を積む一方で、５年先、１０年先を見据えた新たなチャレンジをしたいという気持ちになっています。

先月末にお世話になっている税理士の先生と会食させていただく機会があり、個人から企業まで幅広いお客様と接しておられる税理士のビジネスはなかなか魅力的であると感じました。

税理士の試験は受験科目が多く、知識の奥行きの深さも求められるようなので、学生や全日制の専門学校に通っても１、２年で合格できるようなものではないようです。実際にその先生の事務所で働いておられる方も税理士試験合格を目指して勉強されているそうですが、あと２、３科目の合格がなかなかできないようです。

ちなみに簿記に関する理解は必須、ということもあり、「はじめての人の簿記入門塾」を３日間で通読し、現在は日商簿記３級のテキストを１０日間の計画で読み終えるべく読書中です。読み始めると仕訳のルールやB/S（貸借対照表）・P/L（損益計算書）の記述の仕組みなどがとても面白く、企業の決算情報を読み取って株式投資に活かすといった実益にも使えそうだなあ、と何だかワクワクしています。
いつまで続くかわかりませんが、来年は「税理士試験・１科目合格」を目標の一つにしてみようかと思います。

Theme of self-decelopment of  next year

Recently it is remarkably cold in the morning and evening. Tree leaves are turning to red and yellow little by little. Autumn scenery can be seen everywhere even in central Tokyo.

During this week, I start to think what I should try next year.

Last year in November to December, I had absolutely no idea what I should try, and decided to aim to pass the weather forecaster exam in January, then started to study. I thought that I had to spend one or two years to pass the weather forecaster exam, but I was able to pass the exam in one take luckily.

While loading the study of technology as a weather forecaster, I want to challenge new goals ahead in view of five or ten more years.

Last month I had an opportunity to have dinner with tax accountant who was always taken care of tax. I felt that the business of tax accountant who worked in contact with customers ranging from individuals to enterprise is attractive.

There are many test subjects which are also required the depth of knowledge for each subject to pass the tax accountants exam, so it seems difficult that only students who go to college among two or more years can pass the exam. In fact, a man who worked in the tax accountant office is aiming to pass the exam, but he can hardly pass a few more subjects.

Understanding the way of bookkeeping is required, so I read through a book called ‘School of the First Introduction to Bookkeeping’ in three days. Then I make my 10-day plan to read through the text of the ‘Nissho Bookkeeping Level 3’.

The mechanism of descriptions of B / S (balance sheet) and P / L (profit and loss statement) are very interesting for me. If I could read the company's financial results, I could take advantage of stock investments.

I don’t know how long it takes to achieve the goal, but I will try to pass one test subject of tax accountant exam during next year.
