Page 10: "In America, people always tell me: 'Money can't buy happiness. Do what you love.' In my Chinese family, my dad always tells me: 'Pursuing your dreams is for losers. Doing what you love is how you become homeless" I think this quote is significant because it sort of shows what somebody in our current society would tell you, versus what Jimmy's dad always told him when he was young.
