Happy Valentine’s Day, Emma!
Same to you, Ron!

Do you have a date today?
Nope, none at all.

Honestly, I do not know. Maybe it is because I still have not met my ideal spouse.

Oh, I see. What is your ideal spouse then?
I want to meet someone affectionate and goal-oriented. Someone who will love and care for me with all his heart and soul. How about you?

For me, I would want a woman with excellent culinary skills and someone who will treat me as her one and only.
That sounds so sweet. I’m sure you’ll find her soon.

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.
