From failure you learn. From success, not so much. Tis the way of life.

You are 100% correct!

But don't forget that success breeds success. You must experience success to learn how to deal with it.

Good example:
When Kentucky's Snell scored his final TD to make it 27-7 Kentucky with over a quarter left, Kentucky mentally closed up shop. You could tell from all the celebration on their bench that they thought the game was over. Penn St. nearly came back and beat them. Both Kentucky players and coaches have a lot to learn about how and when to put a game away...that game may have helped do that.
