Aviation is cruel and unforgiving.
I believe there are 4 types of pilots...
1. those that won't scare themselves sh!tless because they have learned from someone else's mistakes/experience (unfortunately this group is probably relatively small),
2. those that have scared themselves sh!tless and learn from the experience,
3. those that have yet to scare themelves sh!tless and will learn from the experience,
4. lastly those that have yet to scare themselves sh!tless and won't survive to learn from the experience.
I would say most fall under category 2
