In ancient China, the abacus was an instrument used to calculate transactions and trade deals by clerks and merchants across the lands. It is where the modern day calculator derived from – it was a board with many levels of sticks, on which little beads could be pushed back and forth to symbolize numbers and figures.
Due to its history of clever working and problem solving, the Abacus is now a symbol of prosperity and quick-thinking money-making strategies. It is used widely by people of high monetary position, such as entrepreneurs and corporation leaders. It is believed to help increase the income of businessmen, store owners and fiscal planners, ensuring that no amount of money goes uncounted. It will also benefit the careers of those involved with the stock market, banks, and trading industries.
The Abacus is said to be a very useful tool for students who are looking to excel in the subjects of accounting, mathematics, economics or physics. This tool is believed to enhance the ability to think quantitatively, and be more nimble with numbers. For individuals in the career fields of science, engineering or mathematics, an Abacus upon the work desk is reputed to increase your numerical intelligence.
The Abacus can be placed on a study or work desk, either in the office or home, used as a keychain, or hung from a briefcase or school backpack. It will always serve to heighten knowledge and multiply monetary gain.
