A lot of success to him came not just from pure hard work but because his family could afford to have "plan B" of sending him abroad. Like someone here on HN said it, it is not that the elites don't fail, they do, but after each failure they can just keep trying until they succeed. > Will you read about a blue collar worker's view on Chinese society? I would love to actually. What would an American welder think about China or, maybe what they would think about how Chinese welders work and vice-versa. > As societies, we don't really want to read about some Cantonese kid working after school at his parents restaurant for 6 hours a day. No, but they would love to read about the Cantonese kid working after school and then based on his hard work end up at GS. The bottom line is growing in up in a family like it doesn't matter what country or culture you come from you already won the lottery. You can live in Venezuela or Africa and still take weekend flight to shop in New York. Your perspective is already very different. |
