Of Winners and Losers

There's a great line in the film "With Honors" when Joe Pesci's character tells Brendan Fraser that He is a loser because "Winners forget they're in a race, they just love to run. You try too hard". As one might imagine this line finds much resonance with me in my current position in life. I'd love to be the runner who Just loves to run and is not even conscious of the struggle of the race. Would my character then be less though, by not having to persevere in the face of adversity or overcome the personal demons that haunt all those uncertain of the future....
