Modern parenting appears to be just placating children. Are the truly great entrepreneurs created from hardship? Is it nature creating challenges vs. nurture creating laziness?
In my limited experience, the most successful people I know either had parents who were 100% supportive of their endeavors or they were from homes with no parents, or their parents totally did not give a shit about what they were doing. The unsuccessful ones came from homes where the parents were around, but were always telling them to do something else. Quit fooling around with computers and become a radiologist, etc.
