“Your own body is important capital for yourself”

“Your own body is important capital for yourself” are the words my parents often said to me when I was a child, however, those words aren’t heard these days.

You need to pay in order to maintain your health, which is precious capital on your balance sheet. However, few people are aware of this and don’t invest in themselves.

If you put too many demands on your body in your daily life without taking care of it, you end up facing a shortage of capital while increasing the liabilities on your body.

Japanese Corporate Governance Code requires listed companies to run businesses considering and focusing on the cost of capital. I believe it’s very important for us to run ourselves individually, considering the body and health which are our own precious capital.
