Good point, I agree.

It reminds me of fixed mindset people, which Ron Burk describes in this 5-minute Ignite presentation, The Psychology of Incompetence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_vcy7I0zIM

* Over-estimate their own abilities

* Hide, minimize, and blame away failures

* Solutions shouldn't require hard work (effort is for less talented folks)

* Avoid seeking help/training

* Are easily frustrated by setbacks

Ouch! Now imagine living in a country where at least 50% of people (and about 80% in business management) have that mindset... :/
