Battle Hymn Of The Tiger Mother

Practice makes perfect. It is one of the most famous and true quotes. In the Duracell advertisement for Derrick Coleman, a deaf football player. It is said that Coleman had worked hard and practiced on his playing. Each practice he found ways to improve, and now he is in the Seahawks team with many fans. In the article, “What It Takes to Be Great” by Geoff Colvin, he states that Winston Churchill, one of the 20th century’s greatest orators,

Although this statement is simple it has a lot of meaning behind it. For instance, players often feel that they can slack off because there will always be practice tomorrow but that is time wasted today. It has been shown in several studies that those individuals who put more hours in practicing are typically better in that particular discipline. For example, violin players that put in 10,000 hours of practice are considered to be the greatest whereas those who put in 6,000 hours of practice are only average. Time makes a difference in being good versus being

This quote is found in first part of the book in chapter two. I chose this quote because this relates to me, if I put effort and hard work I can do. Just like if Pi he did not any put effort he would have not become a good swimmer but he did same with me even if it is towards my academics or extracurricular, you still have put the same time and effort no matter what you are doing you can accomplish with right mindset. Also, I know that it is hard work but in the end you will be glad that you put effort and time. When I compete for anything I want to give 100% whatever I am doing.

Amy Chua, Yale Law School professor and author of “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother”, begins her article by questioning and explaining the secret to the success commonly seen among children raised by Chinese mothers. Amy Chua’s opinion piece gives compelling, though fairly biased and subjective, insight into the parenting styles of Chinese mothers. Before delving into possible answers, Chua explains that she uses the terms “Chinese mother” and “Western parents” loosely to distinguish the cultural values and parenting styles. Chua then gets to her explanation as to why Chinese mothers raise such stereotypically successful children.

Not only is this quote important but it can be relevant to many things we live through and foresee daily. For example, if one is trying to achieve a certain fitness goal, it is not the brightest outlook to just select a very far-fetched goal and not track small points of progress beforehand. In fact, if one was to do such a thing, it would be rather challenging since frustration and injury would occur before one could even see any results since the results are not being analyzed closely enough.

Whether it was from you Coach or Teacher, this statement is very accurate. If you’ve always thought of yourself as dumb, clumsy or non-artistic you should think again because as the saying implies you can always improve if you are hardworking and conscientious. Recent studies have shown that the brain grows more when you learn something new, and less when you practice things you already know. For instance, when you are attempting challenging math problems you are allowing the dendrites and neurons to grow and strengthen certain parts of your brain. This cannot be attained by just completing the simple problems and skipping over the difficult ones. Math can become easier to anyone if they practice it the right way. It may become difficult at one point but if you continue within time it will become relatively

This quote means that even when you try agin it still may fail, but through failing you become better. A time I have failed, but have failed better was when I was trying to read a book,but I would have to start over because I would not read it for a few days, and forget what would happen in the first half of the book. Now I read when I have down time, but sometimes I

What does it mean to be American? The American identity has always been a complicated discussion. It is by nature identified by diversity. Many think it has to do with the birthplace of the person and others think it has to do with their inheritance. In 2011, Amy Chua published Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother as a memoir. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother presents the evolution of this American woman. The elements of Chuas evolution seemed to involve; native identity; inherited identity; resisted identity and resolved identity.

This quote has always been inspiring in my life. I believe learning is not limited to just the classroom but takes places through out our life. Right education not only enhances personal development and social inclusion, but also increases competitiveness.

The stereotype that Chinese parents raise the most successful children is universal. The question is, how do they accomplish this? In her novel, A Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Amy Chua illustrates how she raises her two children to be stereotypically successful Chinese kids. “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior,” is an excerpt of this novel, which appeared in the Wall Street Journal. The editors of the Wall Street Journal presumably chose this title to draw attention and promote controversy. Throughout the excerpt, Chua’s attempts to respect her audience are overpowered with her heavy criticism of the “Western parents”, referring to typical American parents. She also fails to convey the multitude of problems this style can cause. Chua is biased toward the “Chinese Mother” parenting style because of her personal experiences, thus her arrogance makes her ignorant to the detrimental effects of this style and is unappealing to her audience.

In Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Yale professor Amy Chua describes her “Chinese” method of parenting and why Chinese parents are able to raise highly successful children. In the book, she describes her style of teaching and disciplining her children, which caused many readers to take offense. Many people have a serious problem with Chua’s method of parenting; they believe she is much too harsh and even borders on abuse in the way she raises her daughters. In an article published in the New York Times, journalist David Brooks describes how he feels Chua is not allowing her daughters to experience things that are potentially more important than school, such as learning to be social. David Brooks makes an interesting and compelling argument against Chua, and he is right in his opinion that developing social skills is more important than academic success.

If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat. This quote means many things to me. It means that you cannot just go out on the field or mat and expect to win without any training. Practice is the most important part of any competition. If you don't practice, then you will not know what to do and you will lose.

Every chance my Dad got he would tell me the most famous saying in sports “You have to practice like you play” and looking back now, that is the first lesson I was taught. If you truly believe in that quote then you can apply it to everyday life. It taught me to never over look something, to always go into everything you do prepared. Whether it is on a test at school or a presentation at work.

This quote is important because it reflects on the way you act about a situation if you don’t feel like trying you won’t go far in whatever you're doing.
