Rule no.ONE, Asian children

When you go to China for whatever project, Rule number one :

到內地工作必須有對口單位接待，並作出具體安排，不然，即使 __ 人手和 __ 器材俱備，__ 行動也不易成事.

An Asian advice to American parents (quoted from an Asian blog), book written by Korean girls, best seller:

Asian love to buy houses."help your children, tell them honestly, if financial situation is unstable, in the long run, it will affect your happiness. And Education does not garantee a high income, but if you must enter an high quality academic circle, in a good social environment and achieve a stable income, you must work hard and do well at school."
"Help your children find a way, dont tell them again, if you like it, do whatever you want."

作者建议美国家长：“帮帮你们孩子的忙，诚实地告诉他们，财务不稳定，长期而言将影响幸福。而教育虽不保证一定会有高收入，但要进入一定高学术、良好社会环境和稳定的财务状况，必须努力读书。”“为你们的孩子指引一条路，不要再告诉他们，只要你喜欢，做什么都行。”

Good sensible advice, however, this creates a uni-vision combat zone, a battle to death situation. But competition makes a stronger player too.

Now, if the Asians are in a majority Asian environment, would they still be as strict as this?
We are afraid our houses will fly away.

Nabokov subletted other people houses - then moved to a hotel, full service.


Is it good to force a child who has no talent at school work to insist?

What is true luxury ?
