I remember watching this thing about this girl who was raised to be an olympian since birth. She's only seen her parents 6 months total out of about 15 years. When she was 12 she went home for christmas, and told her dad she didn't want to go back. They then turned to him during the interview and he smiled, with his pidgeon english and said,
"Yes she did say that, and I explained she must finish what she started, then I beat her." He said it so casually I just broke out laughing, man I looked like a complete plantain.
To be honest, asian culture in general see's child hood as a form of boot camp, real training to be a sufficient adult, seems to be working considering how much better they are compared to the rest of the world in terms of intelligence. Sometimes I feel like we are a little laid back, such as still keeping summer vacation when it's entire purpose was to give help to farm families. Anyone here own a farm?
