Summary

This quote suggests that those who aspire to be champions are driven by a fear of failure, as they do not want to lose. On the other hand, the majority of people have a fear of success and the responsibility that comes with it. It implies that champions possess a unique mindset and are willing to take risks and face the possibility of defeat in order to achieve their goals. It highlights the distinction in attitudes between those who are driven to succeed and those who are content with a more comfortable, and perhaps less fulfilling, status quo.
