Growing up in the Unites States, Nicole Shih as my daughter is expected to be a well manner, neat person in the appearance and mind. Dealing with any jealousy from those people, who do not born in and not intend to train themselves to be either having pleasant appearance and mind, is a task I always remind her to work on.

Nicole used to convince her father learn to love or at least like whomever he would need to spent long hour to be with. It is the smart, wise, and neat in mind that attract people around life, not the jealous mind make you to be attractive to anybody.

Politeness is one of success in American education as my observation. One day I was frustrated in community center for crowded space sharing problem without prior notice, so my frustration make me yelling (I would rather describe as my own word that is express my idea in loud voice due to frustration) at a young Chinese American staff who worked in the community center. For 10 miniatures, I still can not lower my volcanic emotion level down; that young man still did not rise his voice while try to explain the "community center policy" to a mid-age Chinese American woman with hair stood up.

Usually in this kind of case in a under-educated area would probably already fall into whatever Super-Mercy correction argument or group arguing or fight. The young man's politeness finally make me apologize to his innocence of his position.

This is good quality of American Education. All race in this country should pay attention to this quality, not adopt any form of super-mercy to correcting other race in this country.
