Tell us about one of your earliest memories of your mother.<\/strong> (\u59b3\u5c0d\u6bcd\u89aa\u6700\u65e9\u7684\u8a18\u61b6\u662f\u751a\u9ebc?)<\/em><\/p>\nI always think about the time when my mom and I bought some apples from a street vendor. She picked the most crisp apples they had and put it in a clear plastic bag. When the man gave her a bag after taking her money, my mom noticed that all the apples were bruised. He had switched bags on us. I listened while my courageous mom stood up for herself and demanded to either get a refund or the apples back that she hand-selected. Mom and I rode home in a crowded bus, her chosen bag of crisp shiny apples in hand.<\/p>\n
What is the most important thing you have learned from your mother or daughter?<\/strong> (\u59b3\u5f9e\u6bcd\u89aa\uff0f\u5973\u5152\u5b78\u5230\u7684\u6700\u91cd\u8981\u7684\u662f\u751a\u9ebc?)<\/em><\/p>\nMy mom has always believed that words can heal, calm, and change someone, but how you say them matters more than anything. With her charm and compassion, she has made disgruntled store clerks smile, gotten warnings instead of tickets, and comforted many a friend.<\/p>\n
My daughter has taught me that anything can be accomplished with enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and sweet little dimples.<\/p>\n
Tell us about the ways that your mother or daughter makes you proud.<\/strong> (\u59b3\u6bcd\u89aa\uff0f\u5973\u5152\u8b93\u4f60\u611f\u5230\u9a55\u50b2\u7684\u662f\u751a\u9ebc?)<\/em><\/p>\nMy mother has overcome myriad life\u2019s hardships, but always with a style and grace that I can only hope to possess one day. She is so beautiful on the inside and out.<\/p>\n
My daughter believes the best in everyone, jumps head first into whatever she\u2019s passionate about, and personifies the word spunky. She is her own person and she is such a joy. She loves Jesus with all her heart and wants to tell others about the good news.<\/p>\n
Tell us about how your mother or daughter inspires you.<\/strong> (\u59b3\u7684\u6bcd\u89aa\uff0f\u5973\u5152\u5982\u4f55\u6fc0\u52f5\u59b3?)<\/em><\/p>\nDuring the 70\u2019s in Taiwan when business was relegated only to men, my mom not only opened a nursery with my dad, but ran it to immense success. She was the brains and the charm behind the thriving company. Her business acumen coupled with down-to-earth relatability inspired me to pursue a career in television journalism without fear. I modeled my work ethic and professionalism after my mom\u2019s own sense of personal integrity.<\/p>\n
In my almost-7-year-old girl, I see the most incredible example of carpe diem I\u2019ve ever known. She embraces the here and now and forces you to be there with her. She inspires a sense of wonder in me and faith, not only in God, but that anything truly is possible.<\/p>\n
As time has gone on, how has your relationship with your mother or daughter changed?<\/strong> (\u96a8\u8457\u5e74\u6b72\u7684\u589e\u9577\uff0c\u59b3\u5011\u6bcd\u5973\u95dc\u4fc2\u6709\u600e\u9ebc\u6a23\u7684\u8b8a\u5316?)<\/em><\/p>\nAs a child, roaming the nearby streets of our home in Chungli, Taiwan with a guitar and a panache for trouble, I was always getting disciplined by my mom. My rear end has seen many a wire hangers in its time. And, believe me, I deserved it. Rambunctious doesn\u2019t even cover it. However, through it all, we\u2019ve always been very playful with each other. To this day, the way we show love is often through playful banter. My mom started out as the disciplinarian, but is now my best friend.<\/p>\n
My daughter began seeking autonomy almost immediately after I delivered her. She is a free spirit and a spitfire. My once care-taker role when she was a baby has now been replaced with that of a friendly adviser. I try to give her advice and guidance for these delicate growing years as best as I can.<\/p>\n
What is one thing that you would like your mother or daughter to know?<\/strong> (\u6709\u90a3\u4ef6\u4e8b\u662f\u59b3\u5e0c\u671b\u8b93\u59b3\u7684\u6bcd\u89aa\uff0f\u5973\u5152\u77e5\u9053\u7684?)<\/em><\/p>\nI want my mom to know that I love her more than she\u2019ll ever know. Through all the vicissitudes of life, I will always be here for her, just like she was for me. <\/p>\n
For my daughter, Ashley, I hope she knows that I see how special she is \u2014 every little nuance in her smile, every little detail in her personality. She is a gem and I vow not to take her for granted.<\/p>\n
Is there anything else you would like to share?<\/strong> (\u9084\u6709\u751a\u9ebc\u5176\u4ed6\u59b3\u60f3\u548c\u5927\u5bb6\u5206\u4eab\u7684\u95dc\u65bc\u59b3\u6bcd\u89aa\uff0f\u5973\u5152\u7684\u4e8b?)<\/em><\/p>\nI am so proud to be a Taiwanese mother; to carry on the strong traditions passed down to me from my Ahtsoh to my Ahmah to my mom and to me. I will someday pass the baton to my daughter, and she, too, will be a proud Taiwanese mom.<\/p>\n
Thanks so much for this opportunity to share about my family, my heart.<\/p>\nWhat did you learn from your mother about being Taiwanese?
