Milestone #1 - Get marry
Milestone #2 - Have Children
Milestone #3 -Help the Clan (Specialized in one area of the Hmong cultures/traditions so you can be beneficial to the clan and others. Ex: Learn to play the qeej so you can help at funeral, learn txiv xaiv, learn something...so you can be useful except do nothing
Milestone #4-Take leadership role
Milestone #5 -How do you say this in Hmong - Ua nom ua tswv
Agree?
These are hardly any "milestones"...they are somewhat expected out of a hmong man, except for #5.
milestones should equate to some sort of achievement that is above the norm.
m1 - getting an educational background with a higher degree than a bachelors.
m2 - obtaining a reputable/respectable employment status.
m3 - volunteering at non-profits organizations (a board member, at the mimimum)
m4 - own properties and assets above the $.5 million mark
m5 - living debt free!!!
sadly, I haven't achieve any of the above including the expectations..
.ha!
