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.

It was so damn hard to find love in this world, to locate someone who could make you feel that there was a reason you'd been put on this earth. A child, I imagined, was the purest form of that. A child was the love you didn't have to look for, didn't have to prove anything to, didn't have to worry about losing. Which is why, when it happened, it hurt so badly.
