You seem to assume (or at least imply) that being famous and being remembered is the definition of winning, but I must disagree.
Winning only means something within context, but as a broad rule of thumb it can be taken as a rough synonym for success in achieving the stated goals. If someone sets out to make the world better, and the world is actually better because of them, even if only slightly, then I would call that both success and winning.

But you don't need to train 17 hours a day to achieve that; more than anything, you just need to be in the right circumstances, so that the everyday living of your life helps the commonweal rather than hurting it.
