Lesson20: Being Rich

2021年4月23日 weblio PH

PART A_1

Let’s learn new vocabulary. Listen and repeat these words with your tutor.

PART A_2

1.　well-off 富裕な、うまくいっていて
	With her designer bag and sports car, it’s easy to tell that she is well-off.
2.　Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. 取らぬ狸の皮算用
	The best advice my financial adviser gave me goes, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch”.
3.　Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. 一つのことに全てをかけるな
	In investing, diversification is important. In other words, we should not put all our eggs in one basket.
4.　snowball effect 雪玉効果（徐々に勢いがつき、インパクトを増す出来事）
	It’s not an overnight success. In fact, he attributes his success to the concept of snowball effect.
5.　rags to riches 無一文から大金持ちになった人
	Are you looking for a good book? This book about a family’s rags to riches story is worth the read.

PART A_3

Let’s make sentences using the vocabulary we’ve just learned.

PART A_4

1. well-off
Answer:
2. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
Answer:
3. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Answer:
4. snowball effect
Answer:
5. rags to riches
Answer:

PART B_1

Let’s read the dialogue. I will play Ron and you will play Emma. Then, we’ll switch roles.

PART B_2

Do you remember our elementary classmate named Fred?

Yes, I remember. Why did you ask?

I saw him at the mall yesterday. He said they are moving to New York next month.

Cool. They must be well-off now.

Sure, they are. Both of his parents are investors. He also shared with me some of his parents’ advice about becoming rich. First, don’t count your chickens before they hatch which means we should not make plans based on something that has not happened yet. Rather, we should be results-oriented.

Oh, that’s a good one. What other advice did you get?

He also said that we shouldn’t put all our eggs in one basket. Simply put, it’s not advisable to focus on just one type of resource, just in case we lose it all.

Marvelous. I learned a lot today. It seems that becoming rich also takes
a lot of wisdom. Also, it’s not something that happens quickly. Rather,
we should be consistent with our habits until we get our desired results,
just like the snowball effect.

It’s similar to the concept of compounding, right?

You’re right. Learning about Fred’s rags to riches story is so motivating.

But I want to watch it again.

The sun is still up. We can still go for a walk with my dog. You can’t just sit there all day, you know.

Hmm. How about a name that starts with letter R, just like your name?

Actually, we’ve been thinking of naming him after my grandfather. His name was Richardson. Perhaps, the name Richard will be a good one?

Yes, that’s a really nice name.

I believe being a big brother comes with a big responsibility. I’m not sure if I’m completely ready yet. But I’m going to take it one step at a time.

I’m so looking forward to the long weekend.

Same here. Actually, I already have everything planned out.

That’s amazing. So, what’s on the cards for this weekend?

On Friday, I’m going to a spa with some friends to unwind. The next day,
I’m going to visit my grandparents. I’m going to help out in the farm.
And then, I’ll have a movie marathon with my sister on Sunday.

That sounds a lot of fun! It’s a good thing we get to take some time out.

We have to make money, of course. But we also have to take a break to
refresh our minds. That way, we can sustain our productivity.

I’d go along with that. We shouldn’t feel guilty about putting our feet up once in a while. In fact, it’s even helpful to our career. I mean, we don’t want to be burned out, right?

That’s right. So, how about you? Do you have any plans yet?

Nothing special. But I have piles of books that I need to pick up again. I’m hoping I can get a fresh perspective by reading those books.

That’s a good idea as well.
