I once had a conversation with a young man. I asked him, “Why aren’t you married yet?”
“I can’t find what I’m looking for.”
“What are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for the three B’s.”
“Three B’s? What are the three B’s?”
“I’m looking for beauty, brains, and bucks!”
So, I told him, “Your three B’s are three zeros. If you don’t have the number one thing, it’s all meaningless. You see, the number one thing to look for in a spouse is kindness, a good heart. If you have that number one thing, then the brains, the beauties, the bucks are all wonderful. If you put the one before the three zeros, it’s a thousand. But without the one, it’s just a bunch of zeros.”
