"Tu n'as pas peur d'échouer. Tu as peur de ce que les autres penseront de toi si tu échoues. Mais si tu as peur de ça, imagine ce qu'ils pensent de toi quand tu n'essaies même pas. Ah oui, ils ne pensent pas."

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.
