Episode 18 Chinese Parents' Expectations

Today, we were talking to prof Chris Ryan about Chinese parents' expectation on our generation. Chris said, well, they wish you success, they wish you have money and power. Why they wish you have money and power? Actually, they hope you are safe and happy, and they also assume that money and power will buy safety and happiness. That's probably the logic. But money and power are risky. They often don't.

We asked Chris what he believes will buy sense of safety and happiness.

He said, the belief that what the universe gives you is sufficient.
