Learn to appreciate your values

The thing that I admire about the Americans is that they are open and willing to learn to get better. They are ready to learn the best practices from others and apply them to their own system. Of course sometimes they miss the context and culture, but usually they are spot on.

Many Chinese people believe that the Chinese education system is rigid and inflexible, but note the point that the Americans, too, take on board: Asian students are taught in a system that believes hard work, not only the idea of "talent" or likes without endeavor, determines success.
