Modern parenting appears to be just placating children. Are the truly great entrepreneurs created from hardship? Is it nature creating challenges vs. nurture

  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.

    Agree 100%. Solid support or total neglect - opposite ends of the spectrum seem to produce the best results. Does anyone have a name for such a response curve? The Innate Outlier Effect?
