Food for thought

China may show the world lots of good things, but after I have been living in Beijing for the past 9 months, I think Chinese rich people are lack of the spirit found in the following quote.

"In other parts of the country, things like a great estate are the symbols people most respect," Sutton, a professor of management science and engineering at Stanford and co-founder of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program, said. "But here, the greatest status symbol is a person's ability," he added, to "still bring out hot new companies" and show that you are "working on the hot new technologies."

"Here" is Silicon Vally. The above I quoted from "prematurely rich in Silicon Vally".
