This whole overachieving mentality is widely prevalent in the Asian American community. Every Asian kid from my generation was compared to their siblings, cousins, and peers relentlessly.<p>It's been shown that those Asian kids can be great at anything. They're founders, CEOs, politicians, artists, musicians, writers, whatever. (Still working on athletics)<p>I hope the next generation gets it a little better. It seems like they are. I never want to tell the next generation what my parents told me, which is that they had it harder and still could do better.
