I disagree with your friends comment. You can exhibit all you want and you will never leave a lasting impression until you make a positive impression. People don't have the time/energy/drive/need to remember your work if it's "so-so" (It is somewhat different if you are doing your own show, especially if it is reviewed). It's not nearly the same as selling someone substandard work or blowing an assignment.
And like others have said...art (artistic quality) is subjective anyways.
