Human Capital: The Foundation of Your Economic Value

Your human capital is one of your greatest assets.

Allow us to offer a few short and sweet thoughts to consider about "human capital."

Economic value and wealth are created using labor, land and capital.

Human capital is one’s ability to apply your labor (physical and/or mental capability) to create value and wealth. This is usually reflected in the form of compensation or a pay check, but it can also be volunteer work or service that provides intangible benefits beyond compensation.

Don’t Squander Your Greatest Asset
Human capital is your greatest asset!

Develop, nurture, maintain and increase it!

Never stop learning.

Resist the temptation to "coast" in the final years of your career. It may set you up for an early lay off or job elimination.

Resist the temptation to "vegetate" in retirement, lest you become a vegetable!

Continue learning well beyond your formal retirement date. It will keep your mind sharp and your body healthy.
