“I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.”
Sylvester Stallone
Handling Rejection is not an easy task but if you are able to recollect yourself and bounce back once again to fight the battle- You are the winner.
You may be a Jobseeker who gets rejected in a Job interview, a person who got rejected in a marriage proposal, an artist who got rejected in some audition, an aspiring writer whose book has been rejected by readers, an artist whose movie failed miserably….. Pain is same for all.
An example of Super star of the decade Amitabh Bachchan is worth sharing, he got rejected for some Radio Station Interview! Imagine what would have happened if he got selected. We would not be able to imagine Bollywood without him.
Rejection is tough to digest and we are not able to accept that how can I be rejected? It’s a negative emotion which lowers our self-esteem, and hurts our ego badly, but the real beauty is not in avoided being fall but in standing up once again after falling.
“One of my class mate was super talented since his childhood. Being an all-rounder in studies, sports, dance, music and arts he never got failed. After completing his Engineering from best Institute of country he got an awesome package and went to US. He got married to most beautiful and elegant lady and gets settled in US. What a beautiful dream life! After few years during Global Recession he lost his job and became unemployed. It was a phase which he was not able to handle and gets into severe depression. Why?”
Because he has never faced REJECTION!
Rejection and failure makes us strong. It helps us to look back on our flaws and gives us an opportunity to improve. Our strength increased exponentially when we are able to cope up with Rejection and get Success.
Rejection in Job Search: Do not blame yourself. One should always remember that if you are not able to get selected in an interview, it may be because it’s not the right time for you to get that job or, requirements must be different, or some other candidate must be more qualified or carry more experience in relevant field.
It doesn’t means that you should look down on yourself, it’s like collecting all your Energy and Focus on yourself, your improvement, Your Growth.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”
Steve Jobs
Make plans and strategies to succeed and Thanks to the Rejection for making you a better version of yourself.
