Too many times, egos get in the way of scientific discovery. As far as Sheila, as soon as things did not go her way, she dropped Ron and abandoned her marriage. Not her best moment.

Obviously Regina is the hero! She is a tremendously smart lady who challenges the orthodox science to pursue her aspirations in the field of quantum physics. Shiela is more of a money-centric person with a domineering character.

Regina is the hero. Without her patient influence throughout the years Ron would have been a high school drop out. Sheila loved him and showed him the monetary value of his work and its ability to give social standing, but in the end wealth was not his priority. Through Regina Ron was able to achieve a certain degree of satisfaction by meeting the challenges which she constantly brought to his life through her scientific inventions.

I'm going to go with Regina here because she contributed a great deal in his life. Sponsoring his college education says it all, because without that his life would have taken a different path.

It's hard to choose. They both helped Ron but Regina was the first one to do so. If she didn't help him, Sheila wouldn't be able to do much. To be honest, I don't know.

Indeed, self-discovery is very important. Wealth is very important, but self-discovery is exactly what can guide a person towards wealth. For example, a person can find his or her talent that will help him or her make money.

So, I choose Regina too.

I think Regina is the hero, mostly because of her influence on Ron and his life. It was much more significant as compared to Shelia's which can be categorized as one of the chapters of his life, even though she was his wife.

Personally, I would say Professor Sheila laid the foundation and nurtured Ron, while Regina helped in actualizing his dreams and to harness his potentials. Therefore, Prof Sheila is the Hero in his life.

An affluent individual who has not found himself is probably going to explore different avenues regarding his riches yet abundance in the possession of a self-found individual is an integral asset. What's more, a self-found individual is bound to tackle his possibilities for abundance creation.

The two ladies assumed significant functions in Ron's day to day existence yet I will offer it to Regina since she's the one that gave Ron that lift in any case. Without changing his story as a card shark Ron likely would not have even known Sheila.

What is wealth without self-discovery and what is self-discovery without wealth? Regina's impact on Ron is the foundation while Sheila's impact is the building block.

Regina took the shine if both heroines are to be compared . Although they both made a great impact in Ron's life. This not withstanding, Regina contributed towards his character building by becoming a mentor.

Picking a hero between Sheila and Regina depends on the context one is looking at. If you are looking at the knowledge aspect, regina really educated Ron. On the other hand, Sheila spent good money. I would conclude by saying both ladies are heroes.

Regina and Sheila both played an equal part in Ron's life. But, personally, I will choose Regina over Sheila. Regina was the one who guided Ron at the first place. The character of Regina is a unique one that stands out till the end. Her relationship with Ron is very beautiful to read. She is mystery and an pen book both.

Very true, if we were to switch the plot and Ron received money only, then his ending would be a negative one. From the beginning, he was attached to quick fixes and fast money. BUt Regina restructures his attitude towards money and how to earn it. She keeps pushing him to become responsible and accountable.
Oh, absolutely! What an interesting perspective that would have been! Without her, his life surely would have been different.
