I believe Patton said there's nothing quite so exhilirating as having been shot at and missed! Experience is a great instructor for those who will learn.
The problem is, you have to do it yourself. This generation is about like ours was, they just have more things and more opportunities. Like us, they will listen to what we say, then go do what they want. That seems to be the way life plays out.
