Actualizatuion of ones potential is WORK!
Chinese and Jewish parents know this.
They know that work is part of life, and thus expect their offspring to work.
Works for them.
The test scores, and the number of Nobel Prizes tell the tale.
PS Moslim Nobel winners are, as Twain said of another group, “almighty scarce, Sir - they are almighty scarce”.
If you had to make a list of 100 famous Jewish Americans in any field - art, politics, literature, journalism, music, science, entertainment - it would be very easy. If you had to make the same list of 100 famous Chinese Americans, that would probably take much longer.
I think the difference is that Jewish families emphasize hard work as well, but it is also balanced with people skills, being comfortable in the spotlight, accepting confrontation. In other words, extroversion.
