[quote=Anonymous]Much of success on our earth is a result of hard work (drill, kill, preparation, prep, or whatever you want to call an early riser) and not predestination or luck. Chance favors the prepared mind (and body). This explains the success of the children of Tiger mothers (e.g., Jeremy Lin) and the failures of the entitled class (e.g., George Hugely V). You don't have to subscribe to holding your very young children accountable with discipline and intellectual and academic pursuits in favor of fun, play, lacrosse, travelling to Europe and wine with dinner; but when your smart and gifted children don't quite make 3 score and 10 on this earth ("can't compete") please don't cry foul because their peers "cheated" by preparing themselves and doing homework (on the court or in the library) instead of watching TV and playing video games under the nanny's watchful eyes. Such whining smacks of sour grapes. [/quote]
