I think everyone knows at some level that the cookbook for the success you highlight is correct and works, as south and eastern asians have demonstrated so systematically. Yet, sadly, many groups avoid it… I think often for intentionally self-defeating or other pathological reasons.
- red-iron-pine 4y ago> as south and eastern asians have demonstrated so systematically. I challenge this. With 1.5 billion people the cream of highly motivated and intelligent people will of course rise to the top. Anyone not razor focused on getting out, getting up, and pushing successful traits wouldn't make it; survivor bias.
- rayiner 4y agoExcept it applies to their kids too. Asian Americans growing up in the bottom 1/5 of the income distribution are more than twice as likely to end up in the top 1/5 as adults compared to white Americans. You can say that’s because their parents are highly motivated—but you can’t gift your kids motivation. What you can do is pass on certain culture and values, which brings us back to the point above.
- onos 4y agoYeah good point.
