“What Chinese parents understand is that nothing is fun until you're good at it.”
“Nothing is fun until you're good at it.”
“You can never be happy until you understand why you're doing what you're doing.”
“A stodgy parent is no fun at all. What a child wants and deserves is a parent who is SPARKY”
“See, what you're talking about is why hanging out with ME would be fun for YOU. It doesn't explain anything about why it'd be fun for ME. You don't bring banter. You aren't witty. You aren't funny. There is nothing to pick from your brain. You're looking for me to entertain you. A relationship is an exchange, not a one-way street. Look beyond your own personal desires for a second and understand what you bring to the exchange- nothing.”
“Chinese parents believe that their kids owe them everything.”
