Resources are things that people use to do things, to make things and to develop.
There are many kinds of resources: physical, mental, human and financial. The ones
you use to do your work at university are academic resources, as you heard in the
lecture. The natural resources that your country uses to develop are wood and fish
and minerals. The ones that banks use to grow rich are stocks and bonds and fees.
Other resources are more personal - your health and your attitude and your strength.
People who work for a company are the human resources -- they include every type
of worker, from cleaner to manager
