Even the presidents of different countries also get rejection. Is a basic experience by everyone regardless of class.

Just slide it off your shoulders and fire on. No time to even check time.

My own rejection is in business. I started a business straight out of the university and in a period of 7 8 months I have gotten over 3 million in revenue. I had to raise money to expand my business. Here in Africa, most entrepreneurs raise money through competitions. I have applied to more than 50 and so far I have been rejected from them all. I managed to make it to the interview stage of two of them but still got rejected. What fuels me though is the vision i have for my business and the potentials it can achieve. Rejection should be my middle name now though grin grin. I know eventually I will get what I seek. tongue

U definitely will
I love ur sight
Your vision is bright enough to illuminate the world

JohnspeakU:
How Did You Deal With Rejection?

By Johnspeak Uwangue (Human Development Consultant, Talent Manager and Coach)

I have always been rejected at some points in my life and career. That moment when some people think that you are either not talented or qualified enough for a particular task or opportunity. My most unforgettable experience was when someone I called a friend and shared my life secrets with told me "Johnspeak, you call me your friend, have you ever asked me if I take you as a friend '?

Almost everyone has been rejected in one way or another. Either in business, Career, workplace, by families and loved ones and most commonly by a girl or a boy they've crushed on. But the problem is not being rejected but dealing and managing rejection. Rejection if not properly managed can lead to depression, withdrawal from the society or suicide.

I believe that someone somewhere is going through one form of rejection at the moment and there are also some people who will experience rejection today or tomorrow, but the truth is, rejection is not a curse but a part of life. I will like to hear real life stories by people who have experienced rejection and how they were able to deal with it.

Please keep your comments coming because a life or two might be saved from reading your experience.

I have been in this state sometimes ago. I felt so bad, in fact I was like will I ever get a great job/opportunity again. But God is always faithful and still in the business of exceeding our expectation.
Dyt:
OK
Let me share a story that happened a few days ago

I need a change of work place
I was so eager going for this interview
With the conviction I am getting the job
The interview went well
Like it was just left for me to sign the contract

A few days later I got a negative call
Well
I wasn't moved
But then I found out they recruited someone that wasn't even as half good as what I can offer them

It hurt me and I cried
I felt more dejected
Couldn't sleep for days like is this for real?

Hey
I am better now
I have moved on
But damn
I felt really awful

Someone saying NO to what you are offering (like your service, time or expertise) is not necessarily a rejection.

As a matter of fact they might be saying I don't need what you are offering or I don't think I could afford it or you have not convinced me enough to give you the job or contract or money or to be in a relationship with you.

I heard lots of No, All I do is to ask questions to find out the reason for the "objection"...

If it is "trust" issue... I could offer you pay after delivery... And the No become yes.

If it is "I don't need it/ can't afford it". I smile walk way knowing that I miscalculated my Prospecting.

No one have the capacity to reject anyone unless you are God.

Of course I have!
But I don't go to bed without scrutinizing the causes of my rejection. in fact, being rejected is a vantage to assure or prove what you worth . So, what you need to do when rejected is to take a chill, reminisce if you've got any amendments and then, move on for the next shot

True. only Allah can reject a man.

that they say no doesn't mean they are right or wise, they don't just have foresite because the are mere mortals.

I have been rejected many times, sometimes, embarrassed! But, all the rejections have shaped me to be a better me in some ways. I look forward to the next rejection so that something can challenge me.....#peace wink

You are only talking about your family and friends on NL.. In physical life even animals do feel the pain. Except you are a typical bad person which I know this Moniker for.

Depends. If it was a fair game and I lost, I often try to find out the reason why so I reflect and learn from it. You know, use the experience to grow. However, I have had situations where I was not given an opportunity, rather the opportunity was given based on favoritism and not merit. Honestly, it made me feel really low like I wasn't good enough but I healed and learnt that I don't always have to seek opportunities from others, I can create my own. In situations where I can't create my own opportunities, I can attract those who will either provide me with the opportunity or create one with me. Basically, rejection is part of life and one can use it as a means of improvement.
