[@shawna9326]

It’s so crazy how this video really shows the measure of influence our parents/upbringing has on our personalities. Sheldon has a really happy-go-lucky attitude, and that’s not saying he’s lazy or careless, but it does show that perhaps his parents are more supportive and have a little more trust in him than most traditional Asian parents would. I’ve noticed that Edward is super competitive, disciplined, and a bit more serious than the others and now it’s obvious why he has that mentality. He’s struggled with feelings of incompetence, as a lot of us have, and you can see how much he truly wants to make his mom proud and to be able to provide/repay her for all she’s done. Mike’s comment when he mentioned how his parents commended him on his art despite having poor grades in general classes and how that made him feel that they accepted him...I felt that. Even though we might not hear the words “I love you”, we can see their love and support in the little things they say or do. Such a relatable video for a lot of us in this generation.

[@SitaLi]

Bro this comment is deep and accurate

[@DaddyBigDong]

Now I become a parent and I'm learning from this video, nice

[@yashny]

This comment is gold. I think our relationship with our parents does shape our personality to an extent

[@supertrouper]

You all can see that Sheldon is very young and just graduated from college and did not land a stable job yet, so it is not like he threw away opportunities that were given to him and he did say that he is going to look for a job if the channel does not work out, so his parents are more supportive and giving him a chance and time deadline and if it does not work out, they are going to force him to look for a regular job. Mike just started a job and now all of a sudden quitting, so his parents were slightly more harder on him that he got a job opportunity that was difficult to obtain and now giving it up so soon, but because he is a very recent graduate and very young, they figure he will have a good chance of finding something else if the channel does not work out. Edward, you can tell he is like 5-7 years older than the rest of the gang like close to 30 years old probably even more and probably has had a very great stable job for several years and now that he is quitting like that and being he is at that age, his mother had a reason to freak out the most about giving up a job that was very good paying and working out for such a long time to the point like almost like giving away a house and probably afraid he is not going to be able to get something so stable that easily given his age and that employers may think more weird of him.

[@bangnguyen8365]

@@supertrouper i think theyre all in the same age, in the video where they went to the most racist town in the us, they showed a photo of them in maybe highschool all together, i think the reason why sheldon graduate after those two is because he study engineer and it may takes longer, considering he had 9 internship during his school years

[@suzhyie]

The best part of this entire video is the amount of respect they give their parents.

[@_BASIC_INSTINCT]

the edward part, his politeness made it so much more sad

[@Khan_Rahman]

Its because asian parents doesnt kick out there children from the house, even when they are adult

[@cherrie9587]

It's part of the Asian culture. We always pay the highest respect to our parents, who have spent so much of their lives raising us.

[@roshnik5137]

@@cherrie9587 we didn't ask to be born . It's their responsibility,it's not a sacrifice or something.

[@Linanid]

Roshni k Still, in asian culture you can’t say that to your parents. They brought you in this life and raised you and eventually expect you to pay them back by respecting them and taking care of them when they’re old. 🙏🏻

[@sweetogal]

I think it's a bit different for Sheldon's case (other than his parents being more chill) cuz he's fresh out of grad and doesn't actually have a job yet. And it's just a year, so it's easy for his parents to see it as a break and a good time for experiment. But for Mike and Edward, since they qui a "stable" job they already had, it's probably somewhat harder for parents to accept that they're "throwing away" something good for something with so much uncertainty. But anyways, you never know till you try, so I support you all :)

[@you_know_me8218]

Are they all different ages?

[@VIPixTV]

💫❄️👍 #jvdepvrk

[@niajef]

ya, exactly this, its SO much different for sheldon, im sure if they were all just graduating, no job yet, their parents reaction wouldve been way different. but at the same time, i think mike and edwards parents should look at it this way as well, pretend they never had a job in the first place, they are 25 26, they are taking a year to try out their passion, i think thats very reasonable, its not like they are doing this at late 30s, with a family to support

I can see where Sheldon got his personality from! His parents are so chill modern and open. I am sorry to hear about the responses from Mike and Edward’s parents.

[@heidiw3615]

I think it's mainly because Sheldon said he's only wanting to try it out for a year and he also mentioned that he had 9 internships. So his parents would not be too worried when he goes back to the job market in the future. Anyway, having 9 internships is impressive, considering he's still in school. Like how?

I was going to talk about some of my experiences in Chinese (my native language), but let me say it in English. If it is difficult for you guys to understand, sorry for my English. After watching this video, I empathize with what you have experienced. Our experience is very similar. After I obtained my undergraduate degree, I also obtained twos master degrees. But suddenly I decided to start a restaurant with my best friend. My parents are like the parents in the video. After hearing the news, they were upset and kind disappointed about my decision, but I don't regret it. I have reliable partners and a career I have always liked (I like the service industry and restaurant business). I don't want to miss this opportunity. The restaurant has been open in Sydney for more than three months. It's hard but I feel fulfilled. So I wish you all success, and I will go forward with you guys in chasing our dreams.

Lets all not forget, our parents came from uncertainty and poverty. Thats why they react the way they do, all we have to do is show them and they can slowly let go of their fear. Its not their doubt that drives their words, its their fear.

Good words. But his dad is right, man I almost got emotional listening to that call. His dad was super disappointed. I've disappointed my parents my whole life so I know what its like. On the flip side, these guys are young, and this seems to be the way right now, this online shit. These guys still have time to get a back up plan going. Besides, from what I see candomando is doing pretty good right now, I'm sure they'll be smart.

Edward's definitely surprised me, but all of you guys are good. 2. The courage you guys have to tell your parents about your dream. That takes guts and balls and you guys have both. That in and of itself is amazing and admirable. 3. You guys have a passion this deep and intense that you want to pursue it full time.

I am 40 from HK and I know exactly what you are pursuing, and I know exactly where your parents are from. Although I am not your parent, but I fully support of your decision. I once had a dream to be a flight attendant and had a good opportunity to do so, but my mum was so so against that because this is NOT what I studied for in university, she always though it is such a waste if I dont do what I studied especially it was a professional job (being a teacher). I remembered I had a huge argument over this, at the end I gave in. I regretted because I know if i want to do it now I am far too old compared to many young ones. It was always my dream to be a flight attendant. Now with respectability looking after my parents and my financial mortgage, I feel like I am now living to live. Not that I dont enjoy being a teacher dont get me wrong, but I wish I had the courage like you all had. Good luck! I know you all will succeed.

Well, she actually said "I need some time to cool off and calm down", so "consider" as in to adjust herself to such a sudden change. And being a Chinese parent, she now has a ton of unsorted options of how she could best support her child in her head --- should she keep urging him to go back to work? Can it even be done? What about another company and same position? Maybe let him do this as a "leap year" but secretly trying to find him a job after? Maybe put the trust in him and double down by getting involved into CantoMando too, for example investment? Maybe she needs to now seriously learn how media works because his son may need help with it one day? How much money do they have in their bank and how long can they support their child? Do they need to take an extra job such that if the child failed they can still support him? TONS of things to think through...

Came here from "Surprising My Parents with My New House" glad you guys made it. Keep up the good work.

This is definitely a really tough decision and you three are so incredibly brave. I'm excited to see what kind of content you guys will make in the future now that you're full time youtubers. It's always so nice to see people pursuing their dreams despite their parents' wishes and as someone who is also a chinese-canadian, I know how hard it is to go against your family's expectations. Wishing you all the best on your new journey!!

Damn that was intense. I wish you guys all the success cos you honestly deserve it. Will continue supporting you! Edward was so honest and sweet in this vid. You have my respect dude.

Hi gfg

[@sanghamitradhara8330]

I am Indian and can so relate to how Asian parents react to "JOB" topic. Having worked for more than 1.5 decades, I really feel you all so brave to do what your heart says. All the best guys!

Dang. This was a pretty moving video compared to the channel's past content. 0 to 100 got hella real hella quick. Hope everything works out and can't wait to see how CantoMando progresses in the future! There are so many different directions for this channel to develop, super interested to see how their content is going to evolve and if the audience dynamic will change over time as a result. As a subscriber who decided to do their bachelors degree in mainland China instead of their home country, this is a pretty inspiring step to see the creators of CantoMando take. Veering away from societal standards and deviating from the norm is never an easy decision to make, but sometimes your mind will never be truly at ease until you've taken that risk and know for sure that it would (or wouldn't have) worked out through first hand experience. There's honestly no point torturing yourself with "what if's", because things may have turned to shit (or gone spectacularly) no matter which decision you decided to make either way, so best to just try and go hard for whatever it is you decide to do in the end without dwelling too much on alternate choices. Godspeed 🤟
