The terms "unique", "shared" and "lent" used here generaly refers to
the terms used by Bartoz Milewski in his blog[1].

I think he defines lent in this particular blog post[2], but maybe you
might need to read a couple of posts more to understand everything.

Sometimes you got to suffer a little in your youth to motivate you to
succeed later in life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high
school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not. You gotta
spend a lot of time stuffin your own locker with your underwear wedged
up your arse before you think "I'm gona take over the world with
computers! You'll see I'll show them."
