The Chinese story
Filed Under Luv it, Hate it
With the Chinese, we are very practical people. Wealth, money and richness is mostly what we live for. There is a very simple reason to this really - everything costs money. To eat, we need money. To own a roof over our heads, we need money. To pursue an education, we need money.
The Chinese were thought to live a prudent life. Finish our food as many are without them. Spend wisely as our future and children depend on us. These are the simple things that were taught by our parents who in turn were taught by their parents and so on and so forth. We never take what we have and our future for granted. This is one of the reasons why the Chinese survives almost anywhere and every-where in the world.
What you see are mainly the end results and the end product of their work. You see the fancy car they drive, the Patek Gondolo on their wrist but you would never know the hours they spend toiling and working hard to achieve this. You would never see them working when you are sleeping. You would never imagine the hours they sacrificed being away from their kids just so that they have a future.
That is a flaw I believe is pretty much etched in a Chinese blood. They tend to live for the future, for their children. The only thing on their minds would be whether their kids have enough to eat, to live. They always want a better life for their off-springs.
I doubt this trait will ever disappear completely. Dissipate slowly but not disappear completely no matter where they are being brought up and no matter the education they receive, they will always more of often than not, live by this rule. When you think about it, its not a bad thing, only a balance is needed.
