Entitlement refers to the belief that one deserves something, which can be a positive trait if it is accompanied by an understanding of the effort required to truly deserve it. It is essential to ensure that one's sense of entitlement is backed by hard work and dedication. Without putting in the necessary effort, the belief in deserving something may not be justified.
To illustrate the importance of hard work, I found inspiration in Kevin Hart's Twitter bio, where he proudly states, “My name is Kevin Hart and I WORK HARD!!!” This sentiment highlights a common misconception: many aspire to fame and success but overlook the effort needed to achieve those goals. Mindy Kaling's book, "Why Not Me?", echoes this idea, emphasizing that the journey requires commitment and labor.
