From, “America
and the Value of 'Earned Success',”by Arthur C. Brooks, 5/8/12, The Wall Street
Journal:
“…I concluded, what set the United
States apart from Spain was the difference between
earned success and learned helplessness.
Earned success means defining your future as you see fit and
achieving that success on the basis of merit and hard work. It allows you to
measure your life's "profit" however you want, be it in money, making
beautiful music, or helping people learn English. Earned success is at the root
of American exceptionalism.
Exceptionalism: the
condition of being different from the norm; also : a theory expounding the
exceptionalism especially of a nation or region
