Struggle breeds toughness, and those that coast through early parts of life often lack the necessary stubbornness and drive to reach the highest levels of their crafts later on. I always refer to the novel Dune and how impossible to live in conditions shaped fearless and brilliant warriors while those who were coddled (with the exception of the main character's early life) cannot compete.

What an interesting take on it. I can relate a lot to it.
