I've read it many times. The most generous possible interpretation I can ascribe is that he's completely off-topic in his response to the parent comment and considers anyone with wealthy parents to be less than adult. The more likely interpretation in-context is that he thinks anyone who hasn't gone through college is less than an adult. You're not going to convince me otherwise by repeating the same argument with different words.
- bdcravens 13y agoI'm a bit biased towards those with wealthy parents perhaps. My point, which I may have failed to make, is that business success requires personal success, and if you haven't experienced that on your own (where true failure is a very real possibility), then I doubt you're ready. That growth can come in a variety of ways: college success, raising a child as a single parent, or even dropping out of high school to work and make ends meet. That growth can occur in the presence of wealth, but I think it can be tough, and proceeding through the rigors of college may be the easiest path (but not only path, and no guarantee of growth even then)
