One of the reasons why Balance Sheet of Life differs from man to man is mainly because of variance in thinking of individuals. Many believers in God think that their Balance sheet of life has already been drawn by Him in advance & nothing can be altered in it. It's true while coming to this world one doesn't bring anything & while leaving also one doesn't carry anything. Some think if they leave the assets,those assets would be beneficial to heirs & make their life comfortable also. Some feel if they leave the assets , their heirs would be lazy & won't have anything to do in life and won't know what life is. Some think good and bad only one carries while leaving this world . That's why in some balance sheets of life only we find reserves & provisions as in balance sheets of financial transactions. A man is better judge of himself than anybody else. He can value his assets and liabilities more appropriately than others in Balance sheet of life.
Everyone always struggles hard and tries to have a perfect Balance sheet of Life. But in balance sheet of life there would be usually one or other defect for everything won't be in one's hands. Perfection is a rare phenomenon.
Assets are more doesn't mean Balance sheet is good. Assets &liabilities must be in due proportions in Balance sheet of Life too. There must be due proportion of fixed & current assets and liabilities in it. If life is understood adequately Balance sheet of life would also be definitely better
Balance sheet of life isn't extracted from any books of accounts. It is a birds view of life of individual. It needn't be necessarily a success story too. One needs no one to analyze and understand it. They only can analyze and understand it themselves.
