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.

There are all kinds of psychological disorders in the West that don't exist in Asia.

Be modest, be humble, be simple.

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.

I was raised, myself, by extremely strict but also extremely loving Chinese immigrant parents. To this day, I believe that their having high expectations for me, coupled with love, was the greatest gift that anyone's ever given me. And so that's why, even though my husband is not Chinese, I try to raise my own two daughters the same way.

My goal as a parent is to prepare you for the future, not to make you like me.

Every day that you don't practice is a day you're getting worse.
