I don't think people change from middle school on. We're all 8th graders at heart unfortunately.
Failure is good but doesn't feel good when it happens. Unless you build skyscrapers, failure teaches wisdom and empathy and moves you along to a better place.
I haven't learned much from my little successes but when I fail, I learn. The people who have fallen from the top are usually better people for it. It's either learn this lesson or be angry over it.
On the other hand, not looking both ways at an intersection and having a wreck is not necessary to grow as a person. : ).05
