Jimmy O. Yang 金句

Saihu

放松的时候喜欢看stand-up comedians. 喜欢Jimmy， 很多他的笑话都和他的移民背景有关，很好笑，也很有共鸣。他爸爸也有许多金句，现在因为Jimmy 的原因，也走上了演艺之路。有趣的一家人。

“One of the hard things coming from an immigrant family - or any family that doesn't believe in the arts - is that you have to disappoint your parents. That's hard for people to do if you're a good kid.”

“Growing up, my dad was 'get a real job, don't go pursuing your dreams, that's how you become homeless.' So, do I pick my family or do I pick my own happiness, and how much does my own happiness depend on my family?”

“I obeyed my parents' rules inside our Chinese household while I pursued my dreams in the American world outside.”

“I don't know why people feel the need to do this to me, but my friend asked my dad, 'Aren't your proud of Jimmy now that he's a successful actor?' And my dad was like, 'No, not really. I wish he was a scientist.' I guess scientist is more noble in the Asian culture.”

“I guess I've lived my whole life as an outsider.”

“Whatever ethnicity you are, yes, absolutely you have to be proud of who you are man. I am really really proud to be Asian, I got to say.”

特别喜欢这段，‘My dad would take me to every practice, every tournament game. And he always tried to give me a pep talk before every game. But you know, Asian parents, they’re way too honest. So every pep talk just turned into an insult. Like, he would come up to me, be like, (CHINESE ACCENT) Jimmy. Jimmy. You’re going to play well, OK? Even though you slow, even though you weak, and you suck. And then he would just walk away.'

好搞笑。想想自己以前给孩子打气的时候，也会变相得在打击他。

是的，绝对是天赋加努力。有一次他提到，他妈妈因为适应得不好，所以在他13还是15岁的时候，离开了美国。他能适应，并闯出一番天地，真得好棒。

除了天赋和努力，我想更重要是passion。

Silicon Valley那里就有他啦。当时我就觉得这人好搞笑，但剧情需要，他在里面的人设有点贬低华裔的感觉。很高兴看到他终于熬出头，不需要再做那种角色了。

为什么这个帖子会出现在教育版……

CDCD

为什么觉得这个帖子不适合教育版啊？他的笑话很多和他的华裔背景有关。关于他父母对他的期望，和他自己追逐梦想的冲突，这些不都是值得讨论的教育话题吗？难道教育只是择校和补习？
