"你并不害怕失败。你害怕的是,如果你失败了,别人会怎么看你。但如果你害怕这个,想象一下当你甚至都不尝试时他们会怎么看你。哦,对了,他们才不会在意呢。"
— Alex Hormozi
Simplified Meaning:
Many people fear failure because they worry about what others will think of them if they don't succeed. The idea here is that it's not the failure itself that's scary, but the potential judgment from others. Imagine someone who wants to start a business but is afraid that people will mock them if it doesn't work out. The person spends so much time worrying about these opinions that they never actually try. However, the quote points out that if you never try, people probably aren't thinking about you much at all. Most people are too busy with their own lives to focus on whether you fail or not. For example, think about a child learning to ride a bike. They might fall a few times, but other kids aren’t standing around judging; they’re too busy playing or learning themselves. This means you have more freedom to attempt things because the fear of judgment is often overestimated. So, it's better to try and possibly fail than to avoid trying altogether.
