Resilience is important for all. Entitled people have less resilience. Today's generation seem to need more hand holding which does not look good.

This is a terrific read! That successive MVPs seem to have this capacity to push through adversity to triumph, tells me that the issue of survivorship bias doesn't arise here, and therefore pursuing an even deeper answer to the 'why?' of this persistent observation might be a very worthy endeavor.

Thanks for your article, it's certainly added to the stock of mental models!

p/s Bagehot is just absolutely timeless!
