SHOULD YOU FIT IN WITH THE EVERYONE?

A speaker argues that conformity is a survival instinct that now holds you back. He contrasts weekend partying with how Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg spend their time, suggesting that fear of standing out matters less than fear of becoming mediocre.

Can I ask something of you? Can you try to stop fitting in with everybody else? I understand the fear of rejection. I understand the primal instinct that 10 and 20,000 years ago, for survival, we had to fit in for survival, we had to be like everybody else. Now, what does it serve you to be like everybody else? What does it serve you to go out and get drunk on the weekends? Who's celebrating? Are you doing? Are you celebrating your success? Because if you're not where you want to be, what are you out celebrating for? If you think about all the people that you admire, Elon Musk and Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, do they go out on the weekends? Do they party even though they are successful? Do they care about what other people think? Do they care about being judged? Do they have the fear of rejection? I don't think so. See, 95% of people in the world, you could probably agree, have mediocre lives. And if you don't want to be mediocre, then why do you continue to try to fit in with all of these people who live these mediocre lives? So the thing I want to ask of you, next time you feel like you have that fear of rejection, can you replace it? A fear of actually fitting in and being like everybody else? Because not fitting in is how you live an extraordinary life.
