What are Jews better than us in America?

When it comes to the future of Chinese Americans, many people will compare us with Jews. So, what's the difference between us and them? What can't be changed by Chinese as individuals and what can be overcome by our own efforts? Or, what can't be overcome even through hard work within a few generations? What can we do about it? Complaining is definitely not a positive attitude towards life, and self-abandonment is not what a strong man should do. What does China, a "great" motherland, mean to Chinese Americans? These are many problems that Chinese Americans living in the United States cannot avoid. Let's talk about it first. okay Compared with Jews, Chinese have at least several advantages: First, we have good human capital from the beginning. Having the capital should be much better than the large number of Jews who came to the United States to work hard with their bare hands after World War II. Secondly, when we came to the United States, because of this kind of capital, at least at the beginning, we had a "space" for survival for a few years (supported by scholarships). You don't need to work hard for three meals a day from the beginning. Although many people still need to finish their studies while working, that kind of "completion" has actually become an investment behavior-you are working hard for your future appreciation. In fact, many people get good jobs after graduation, and they can afford to live in excellent suburban villas in the school district, which is the return of investment. Let's look at the similarities between us: we are both diligent, intelligent and highly motivated to create a good living environment for ourselves and our descendants. Moreover, for more than ten years and decades, many people have achieved little. The difference is that we can get this kind of gain, basically thanks to our investment in education-the return we get by finding a good job. Why is this happening? Why does this have to happen? This is what I think we all need to think seriously! Jews, like Chinese, have a miserable history. The difference is that Jews, as "tramps", have been looked down upon and bullied from generation to generation. In the end, they finally "woke up" and, with the help of American power, on the one hand, they built a powerful small country (Israel) in the heart of the "enemy"; On the other hand, he joined the United States through immigration and occupied an important place in the United States. And we Chinese, with our primitive human capital, came to the United States to work hard. After more than ten years, as individuals, we basically gained more or less. Those who stayed at home surprised the whole world and repeatedly created economic "miracles" in just a few decades. On the surface, it seems that we are no worse than Jews, or even much worse. However, after in-depth thinking, there is one question that has always kept me from getting a satisfactory answer: look at those Chinese who have "achieved great success" and those Jewish people who have achieved great success. After a rough look, we can also find great differences. The outstanding academic achievements of the second generation of Chinese-Americans are basically from families with good human capital in the first generation, which is what we call "scholarly family". Jews, on the other hand, are different. Many well-trained Jews, whose parents (the first generation) are just small businessmen. Small businessmen don't have much culture themselves, but they know how to attach importance to the cultural education of their children, and they are still very successful. This does not seem to be a very common phenomenon among Chinese people. A large number of small businessmen from the mainland (like those who run restaurants and supermarkets) seem to have a low chance of success even if they want their children to achieve academic success-they don't know how to achieve this goal. Why is there this difference? Why can Jews overcome this dilemma? Moreover, these large numbers of Chinese who make a living in the United States by knowledge seem to have no other expertise except how to get straight A. And those Jews, who are numerous in various industries, have accumulated "emotional intelligence", which is far beyond us nerds. At this point, we may not be able to catch up for generations. Don't underestimate this small difference in emotional intelligence. If you look deeper and analyze it, you will find the answers to many puzzling questions. Why do so many Chinese people complain that they are discriminated against and suffocated by the ceiling of the workplace, or "have to" endure it again and again, and continue to smile day by day to get on with their lives? Is that they have no choice? Or do they have no skills to choose? Or did their education make them not know that there were other options? Ballmer can take charge of Microsoft's handsome seal, I'm afraid it's not just because he is a graduate of Harvard and a roommate of Gates in the Harvard era. Management ability can not be accumulated by the A of books alone, but more needed. I'm afraid it's still intimate with my parents from my childhood. It's a pity that few of our children with straight A's have the chance to get this kind of infection. As a result, many people have learned a lot of book knowledge, but when they get to the society, they have to face the ceiling one by one. Is the existence of the ceiling the result of discrimination? For people struggling in big companies and busy in small companies, the answer may be very different. Small companies value ability-the ability to bring real profits to the company! This ability has little to do with whether you can take the exam or not in many cases. Executives of large companies are not mainly interested in the company's (profit) performance, but their own performance inspected by superiors. And this kind of performance index and the company's profit are very different and even contradictory in many cases. In this case, the "first-class" technology of Chinese people can't actually become an advantage. Because, first, the level of technology is a subjective concept in many cases, unlike in school exams, which can distinguish ABC. Furthermore, even if there is a distinction between A and B+, it may be the same for your supervisor. In other words, you only have the same ability at best! If you don't have an advantage in technology, then you have no advantage. Put yourself in the other's shoes. If you were the supervisor, if you were allowed to choose, would you choose a "stranger" who didn't talk too much to get along with you? Life needs fun. If you have no language, you have no "emotional intelligence", and you may have developed the habit of being true to love because you used to be an elite. Would you like such a subordinate? At this point, Jews not only have an advantage over us in language, but also have higher emotional intelligence and a sense of "elite" that they never had, which makes it easy for them to "take things as they are", adapt to the environment and play their due role in the team. If you always think that you are the best in the world, I think at least I dare not use you, even if you are really the best in the world. Too self-righteous, I am afraid, is also the result of our spoiled living environment since childhood. This habit gives us either extreme conceit or extreme inferiority and self-abandonment. It is difficult to maintain a healthy and balanced mentality. Like to be true, I don't know how many people's life opportunities have been destroyed and I don't know it. The pursuit of all-A cultural education has indeed cultivated a lot of boastful "elites" for us and created a lot of "waste". This kind of "elite" has left the mold that others have set for you in advance, and many people actually don't know how to make a living. At this point, I'm afraid the difference between Chinese and Jews should be great. Many people like to talk about one thing: the powerful lobbying power of Jews in the United States has brought great benefits to Israel. The first thing China needs to do urgently is to show the world that he cares about people-human dignity, feelings and living environment. The United States can never be as friendly to China as it is to Israelis. No matter what happens to the China regime. The reason is simple: China's "red" means the "enemy" of the United States; The strength of China means that the United States is a "competitor". Moreover, the United States can't restrain China as it does Japanese and German. China and Japan, for the United States, for the world, are so different.
