When one fails to understand that the most basic of mature human need, self worth, can't be given, it must be earned. Work is a good and fine thing, best learned early and often.
I just spent Parents Weekend at VMI with my son and father. They both will be/are products of two very hard military schools. They are 65 years apart in age. They laughed at each others stories like two brothers. They earned it.
