AMD CEO Lisa Su’s dad on raising “Semiconductor Queen” : 2 principles from the Talmud. Chun Hwai Su (C. H. Su) said his daughter was very bright and often bored in school, so he sought new parenting approaches. The Talmud: C.H. Su worked as a statistician in the New York City government after arriving in America, and began studying the Jewish religious text because top colleagues were often Jewish. Lesson 1: “One whose deeds exceed his wisdom, his wisdom will endure.” Real learning means applying knowledge. People see what you do, not what you know. Lesson 2: Avoid limits and teach kids to outperform themselves: Avoid overprotecting. Encourage kids to surpass their own abilities rather than just competing with others. Examples: -Lisa loved taking toys apart and didn’t always know how to put them back together. Instead of scolding her, C.H. bought better toys so she could keep exploring how things worked. - When she was ahead and bored in class, he encouraged her to help classmates. The shy girl became more outgoing and was elected student council president. “If Lisa had been educated in Taiwan, in a Taiwanese environment, she wouldn’t be where she is today.” – C. H. Su.
