“Never losing” is not much fun

Overheard today, from a sports coach:

You'll never win at anything by sitting on the couch.

Of course you'll never lose at anything either, but is "never losing" all you want out of life?

Aiming for goals is risky.

If you set a goal and don't make it, you'll have to admit failure.

You could avoid that by not setting goals.

But is "never failing" all you want out of your professional life?

All the best,
A.
