Same here. Amazingly well written post.
A experience for myself was that I could relate so closely to the post and the sentiments even though I sit here in India.
My parents who fall into the majority middle class educated white collar segment have toiled their 35+ years of work experience hoping for a rosy day, which they would have never seen if we, trophy kids had not changed our attitude and ambition.
PS: Even here miles apart our parents dealt with us - trophy kids - in the exact same way described on wsj - lot of appraisals & proud moments, challenging higher achievement all through.
Another interesting connection I do feel is the outsourcing mundane tasks to India part, though it happens in-house or the company next door. Which implies in India there is a gray segment of the generations that exists.
