Chinese parents believe that their kids owe them everything.

I worry that by losing my temper so much and being so harsh and yelling so much that, by example, I will have taught my daughters to be that way, and I'm now constantly telling them not to do that.

The truth is I'm not good at enjoying life.

Never complain or make excuses. If something seems unfair, just prove yourself by working twice as hard and being twice as good.

Unlike Western parents, reminding my child of Lord Voldemort didn't bother me.

I do believe that when your child does poorly on a test, your first step should not necessarily be to attack the teacher or the school's curriculum. It should be to look at the idea that, maybe, the child didn't work hard enough.

You can't invent Google, Facebook or the iPod unless you've mastered the basics, are willing to put in long hours and can pick yourself up from the floor when life knocks you down the first 10 times.
