Success is not an entitlement. It has to be earned
Entitlement is the opposite of enchantment.
The national conversation around white entitlement, around institutionalized racism, the Black Lives Matter movement, I think, came about in large part because of the widening and broadening of our understanding of inequality. That conversation was begun by Occupy.
. . . the divided world of Aspen, where locals with a sense of entitlement were pitted against developers with a sense of condominiums.
Entitlement? How can you be entitled to someone else's money?
There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation.
Whoever makes something having bought or contracted for all other held resources used in the process (transferring some of his holdings for these cooperating factors), is entitled to it.

Anything that's worthwhile is going to call for some sacrifice. Nothing worthwhile will come to you without a price. People think in sports, you have different rules. You really don't. It's whatever motivates you.
