Summary

This quote suggests that being part of a team allows individuals, specifically boys, to show bravery and take risks independently. It implies that being part of a team cultivates a sense of self-reliance and personal growth. On the other hand, it implies that joining a gang is an act of cowardice, as it involves hiding behind a group and relying on the collective strength rather than facing challenges individually. Ultimately, the quote underscores the notion that true courage and character development occur when one stands alone, rather than in the safety net of a group.

And, at the worst, there is that in us which can turn defeat into victory.
