Thank you Awah! It is a fantastic sharing! I'm not religious, but really love to see people embracing to what they believe. They are lucky.
The whole interview doesn't stress on puting school work above playing basketball. Instead, Mrs Lin reminded Jeremy to have a backup plan in career and still support him to chase his own dream at the same time.
I don't believe Mrs Lin is a 'Tiger Mom'. More likely people loves to use such derated negative title to describe those mommies having very successful sons/daughters so they would feel better and comfortable in their nutshell. For me even Mrs Lin confessed that she is a 'Tiger Mom', I would still say she is not an Ordinary Tiger Mom.
