I have a friend whose parents were well off and owned a company. He was getting paid as he went to university. He would study this and fail, study that and fail until he finally decided to become a beer master. Mom and Dad sent him to Germany to do so. When he got back they funded his brewery. It ran for 5 years and now it is being sold off. Yup, must be nice to be able to fail with little consequence. >

It's why I prefer a version of that saying that "the person was born on 3rd base and thinks they hit a home run." These people will say that they worked hard, and in some cases they did, but they neglect to acknowledge how much of a head start they had.
