In the end, she is getting the last laugh, huh. Who cares about the controversy and criticism. Just buy the book and give her money so she can buy those material things that matter ;)[/quote]
Well, you have to admit…She adopted the american way in this regard in selling/marketing a product of nothing…
Let’s face it. America is one big free-enterprise in which the goal is to sell useless crap to as many sheep as possible who are willing to buy those things on credit…
One of those self-help things that americans love to suck up. No different than Tony Robbins, Guy K, Donald Trump’s “wealth seminars”,etc….Americans are suckers for self-help/get rich quick “education”…
Which brings me to my original point…What ever happened to good old fashion work ethics and patience? Yup, that’s right. No want wants to do that. Everyone is in denial… And everyone is in denial….Almost like, well frankly, the thought process that even some piggs here have “how could anyone afford XYZ home or ABC thing”?
Personally, while I probably wouldn’t do the same exact thing to my own kid, I can’t deny that parents that successfully pull this off probably have pretty decent results for their kid’s future.. Asians are inherently competitive. It’s partly of a cultural thing, and partly because of the environment most were brought up in, mainly because good public education is rationed..And wealth is probably obtainable through select means…So a lot of this mentality comes from this inherent competiveness. I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. And frankly the only thing I think that is completely wrong, is affirmative action and asian quotas into college admissions, which you cannot deny does not exist. It’s complete b.s. to give privileges based on ethnicity. And it’s complete b.s. that say some hypothetical minority living in RSF or LJ has more social hinderances than some poor white or asian kid living in some ghetto community.
But hey, I’m going to get around this…Before my kid is a freshman in high schoool, I’m going to temporarily change her last name to something like “Smith” or “Ramirez” and not check the ethnicity box… Hey, perfectly legal to change one’s last name, and if the admissions board classifies her mistakenly, that’s not exactly my fault is it? Yes, it might sound ridiculous…But that’s just how ridiculous some of our social policies are….
