Written Report :
Having brought up in a family that strongly emphasised on Asian values,failure was perceived as a severe humiliation.Yet, how often do we get praised? No doubt that the number of encouragements I received in my life was less than half of my age. Even spilling a bowl of soup was deemed as a failure or mistake.Beatings were abundant and so was the term “failure”.
I was afraid of failure but even more so of the humiliation and comparisons made during Chinese New Year gatherings and amongst my cousins who studied in elite schools.There was this constant need to prove

It was a heart-wrenching session where I realised that maybe the real reason for the never-ending amount of failures was myself and I.The real monster was created by me. Not moving on from the past have become a major obstacle in my mind. If I had looked at my PSLE results in a positive light, things would have turned out differently. Never did I once thought that the failure in primary six was actually an escape route out from an elite school that I detested.Henceforth,I became the leader of my own mind and therefore,my O’ Levels results turned out to be pretty
Dana Nguyen Ms. Newray ERWC, Period 5 August 28, 2015 Perez’s & Graff Articles Summaries In Perez’s article, Want To Get Into College? Learn to Fail [ Feb. 12, 2012], failure is the most significant, but hurtful step towards a successful life. If a person has never honestly dealt with failure, how can they possibly ever improve or move forward? It is important to learn and be able to solve problems in society, whether it is for academic or not.
In order to understand this mindset, we have to understand how the NLF
John Wooden once said “failure is not fatal but failure to change might be”(John Wooden Quote.) Wooden was addressing the idea that one only fails if they do not change after messing up. I never fully understood that principle until I attempted the FFA Creed Career Development Event. After not giving all that I could during the contest, I experienced the worst defeat of my FFA career. I had always thought that Wooden’s statement was only inspire those who had lost, but through personal failures I have learned otherwise.
When Japan invaded China in 1937, they started a chain of events leading to their defeat at the end of the second world war. Between circa 1925 and circa 1950 the Chinese communist party took hold of China sparking nationalism and anti-japanese stances, bringing the people new opportunities, and advocating social and gender equality. The Chinese people felt a loss of pride when Japan invaded them, but with the rising of the communist party they felt a new sense of nationalism and pride in their country. When looking at the conversation between a teenager and his grandfather, we get a wider picture at what life was like before the communist party rose to power.
Have you read or heard of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. It’s a difficult period in Chinese history, and was a massive upheaval launched by Chinese leader Mao Zedong to renew the spirit of revolution in China. The book “The Red Scarf Girl: A Memoir of the Chinese Revolution” in which the author is Ji-li Jiang, talks about this major event in Chinese history and tells the story of one girl's struggle to keep her family together during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Ji-li changed many times in different sections of the book. One of the main events that changed her the most was during class when one of her classmates revealed her class status because she first felt that she should have never existed and that she had never had a grandfather
Often Asian Americans are called the “model minority” because they seem to be successful economically, socially, and educationally without significant confrontations with the white majority (Johnson & Rhodes, 2015). Kim-Ly’s parents immigrated to the United States 27 years ago from Vietnam. Over time the family has progressed socioeconomically and now owns a small grocery store but still experiences stress over paying bills. Many cultural values of Vietnamese are derived from Confucianism, promoting filial piety and other strong family-centered values (Johnson & Rhodes, 2015). It is a central tenant in Asian culture to bring honor to the family and not shame it.
“Her actions remind me that, even under unbearable circumstances, one can still believe in justice,” in David Henry Hwang’s foreword, in Ji-Li Jiang’s memoir Red Scarf Girl, commemorated even during the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution anyone can overcome adversity (9). Ji-Li Jiang was a young teenager at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, and living through a very political time in China’s history made Ji-Li into the person she is today. Ji-Li’s intelligence, her choices, and family devotion made her into the headstrong and successful person she is today. Even when Ji-li thought she was unintelligent, others saw she was wise. There were many moments when Ji-Li was reminded she was very smart.
Asian Americans include persons that come to the United States from a variety of countries in Asia and the Indian subcontinent (McNamara & Burns, 2009). Although the do share similar physical features, each subgroup has its own history, customs, and culture (McNamara & Burns, 2009). There are many different perceptions of Asian Americans in general. One is that they have overcome barriers and discrimination to be successful and achieve the ‘American Dream’ (McNamara & Burns, 2009). One reason for this I believe is that the majority of Asian Americans come to the United States with a dream and a goal to be successful.
The computational representational theory of the mind (CRUM) is a theory devised to model the complexities of the human mind in cognitive science. Human thought processes have been simplified by thinking about abstract thought processes in terms of concrete computational procedures (Thagard, 11). CRUM theory surmises that thinking is the result of the application of operations to mental representations (Thagard, 11). Recent literature suggests our emotions are intrinsically tied to cognitive processes (Dalgleish and Power, 1999). Emotions are influential factors that affect mental representations such as concepts, analogies and imagery in cognitive science.
Failure is the not the end but it is a process of learning and getting success if you don’t giving up. I remember back in Nepal when my siblings and friends passed their classes but I did not. I felt gloomy because I was the only one who failed. I was crying but my dad did not want me to cry for what I could not do because he wanted me to move forward to achieve success.
This is where failure comes in. Sherry proclaims that we need to recognize that this fear of failure is a positive teaching tool. To make this tool work, teachers and parents need to accept that if the student doesn’t learn the material, they must follow through with their promises of flunking. Both teachers and parents have to realize that the future of the child is at stake, and only good intentions come from the
The Mythological Chinese Kingdom portrays ancient times, while the Junior High School portrays modern times. The Mythological Chinese Kingdom consists of fruit flower mountain, monkeys, heavens, and demons. Although this is to portray the ancient times, the monkeys are acting in accordance with the words of “today’s society”. The monkeys, the demons, and the people talking with suggestive references like, “Your peaches look extra plump today”, (1). Although this is connected to Ancient China, this is definitely not the way the Chinese spoke to one another.
In Rules of the Game by Amy Tan, Waverly Jong’s mother expresses this to her in hopes that she would learn the “art of invisible strength,” which was a strategy for winning arguments and respect from others (Tan 497). Tan successfully illustrates the way of Chinese parenting and the frustration a Chinese child often experiences. As the interaction between mother and daughter becomes tense, Tan seems to convey the mother’s message-- “the art of invisible strength” a very understandable Chinese way of
During China’s Cultural Revolution, a large proportion of urban youth were forced to go to the countryside as a result of the state’s “send-down” policy (Xie). This experience was distressing for some youngsters as it disrupted ordinary life and the process of educational attainment. Students couldn’t express their opinions or reason with the government’s decision, because they did not dare to question Mao’s authority, therefore they had no other option but to conform to the officials. Mao Zedong was the ultimate figure that impeded the students’ educational and career path. Parental social status or political capital did not spare youths in certain privileged classes from being sent down to the countryside (Xie).
Failures help people to think more clearly about the
