[quote=Anonymous]Asian-American here, and my parents were refugees. They didn't know much, but they knew to save money when you can, and work hard at school. I'm definitely making more than my parents did, because they still don't have much. I'm not making as much as I would like, but I live a comfortable life. However, I don't think it's necessarily true that you need to work hard if you have other skills in lieu of it. It seems that people who are great communicators, network aggressively, and are proactive in their success get farther a lot faster. They're also generally agreeable people, especially if you're a POC. Some of the lessons I've learned the hard way is what I'm trying to pass on to my children. I'm trying to put them in activities where they can learn to communicate and not be shy when speaking in front of others. Also, trying to accrue generational wealth for them as well.[/quote]
