As a purely mathematical fact, people who sleep less live more.

Be modest, be humble, be simple.

The most successful hyperpowers are the ones where there was actual intermixing. Tang dynasty China was Chinas golden age, and contrary to what I was told when I was growing up, Tang China was founded by a man who by todays standards was no more than half Chinese. It was a mixed-blood dynasty that pulled in "barbarians" from the steppe.

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.

I do play tennis, but I don't really like competition. I'm supposed to be so intense, but I hate competition.

Don't assume your child is weak. If you, the parent, assume that they can't take anymore, what kind of signal are you sending them?

Kids raised to be pampered and spoiled don't really end up being good leaders. Leaders need to be independent minded and confident.
