Solid point. Always thought that way myself, even for individual work, not only for company work. Too many people in the world think they are successful only if others think or say so.

Who gives a flying fuck what others think, as long as you have confidence that you are doing the right thing, after having put in the thought and effort?

Basically they don't have confidence in themselves, and hence look for external validation from others, which is a trap. Today they like you, tomorrow they don't. Whatcha gonna do about that? Cry?

what you gonna do with your life now that I'm leaving - Santana.
