"Les grands réalisateurs sont motivés non pas tant par la poursuite du succès mais par la peur de l'échec"
— Larry Ellison

Simplified Meaning:
Some of the most successful people are motivated more by the desire to avoid failure than by the goal of achieving success. They work hard because they don't want to fail and let themselves or others down. For example, think of a student who studies intensely for exams not just to get an 'A,' but because they are really afraid of failing and disappointing their family. This fear of failure keeps them focused and determined. To apply this idea in your own life, you can use your fear of failure to push yourself to work harder and stay dedicated. Instead of only dreaming about winning, let the thought of not reaching your goals keep you motivated every day.
