If you don't take responsibility and if you're not challenged, you can hardly expect to excel at anything. Many people either are too comfortable with their lives or are in too precarious a situation to ever get to try. That's probably also why we so rarely hear about rich kids with large trust funds accomplishing anything meaningful.

Interesting theory... but could perhaps be due to reporting bias? The trust funded who do succeed are unlikely to highlight that fact when telling the story of their success.
