Play with Pets or Play with People-Social Capital

Capital is a good word because it contains seven letters, the number seven is the unit of a week and it means “completeness and success”as being described in another blog on June 13 in this blog threat.  With adequate capital, everything will go smooth.  Capital is anything that is used to generate money.  Money (a 5- letter word, good) is capital if it is used for investment; the house you stay with is capital because it can be used to obtain money to run business; exercise is capital because strong body can be built through exercise to make more money; education is capital because more educated people make more money. However, one capital many people may not recognize is: Social Capital.

Social capital is the social network connections a person fostered during their lifetime that empower him or her to become successful in career and life.  In another word, social capital consists of all persons who: are closely connected with you, possess lots of resources (such as educated, power, rich, reputation, etc), and are trustworthy and reciprocal.  Obviously, people who possess adequate social capital may be able to do anything as they can think of.  Unfortunately, the only way to accumulate social capital is to spend time with people, and to choose those you would like to invest more resources to build a relation.  Certainly, playing with a pet may boost your feelings to increased body capital, but it creates no social capital at all unless you play with others who also like to play with pets.
