Do you think you become a better person after passing temptations & trials?

It seems when we fall then we rise up again, we become better persons ... it seems those who have the chance to rise up again more will even be better persons ... Perhaps we are all very different indifferent ways. Perhaps some of us are "Strong" to temptation simply because we do not have the same kind of curiosity as "perhaps another person who "needs" to try new things ..." Perhaps there is a question: "Perhaps some of us fall less often than others ... it is because we are stronger or is it because our weaknesses are less ... perhaps not because of our own merit ? ... What do you think ?
