Richmond Dinh argues that worrying about others' opinions wastes your potential, but you can flip that fear into fuel by surrounding yourself with more successful friends. The pressure to keep up with them becomes a motivator that pushes you to higher standards.

If you live for other people's acceptance, you will die from their rejection. Now, this is the part where I meant to say don't care about what other people think. However, that is very difficult to do and it's probably virtually impossible for most people to achieve where they actually do not care about what other people think and they have 100% acceptance within who they are. And so how do we use this fear and this yielding of acceptance to our advantage? We need to spend time with the right people. If you have your top five friends who are way more successful than you are, then way more achievers than you are and are playing the game of life at a higher standard than you and you are in that peer group, your number one fear is to be rejected by that peer group and your number one need is to be accepted by that peer group. That means you will always live up to the expectation of your peer group, because to you, if you don't, that's death. This is why you'll always elevate to the standard of your peer group. So choose your friends wisely and you'll become infinitely successful.
