What Chinese Parents Understand Is That Nothing Is Fun Until You're Good At It. Pg 29

All Decent Parents Want To Do What's Best For Their Children. The Chinese Just Have A Totally Different Idea Of How To Do That.

Some Parents Let Their Kids Sleep At Other People's Houses, Where They Drink Alcohol, Watch Tv For Hours And God Knows What Else. But If You Say You Have To Get All A's And Practice The Violin For Two Hours, Then They Consider That Abusive. That Upsets Me.

Parenting Is The Hardest Thing I Have Ever Done. I Tried To Find The Balance Between The Strict, Traditional Chinese Way I Was Raised, Which I Think Can Be Too Harsh, And What I See As A Tendency In The West To Be Too Permissive And Indulgent. If I Could Do It All Again, I Would, With Some Adjustments.

Never Complain Or Make Excuses. If Something Seems Unfair, Just Prove Yourself By Working Twice As Hard And Being Twice As Good.
