there's no big deal in being rejected, in as much as its only just rejection and no insults or beatings
I like your style grin

Lol and my story goes the other way round I killed her inside. I man up and after a little smooth conversation I asked for the digits she said OK the I gave her my Tecno Y4 she was like what! in a very embarrassing way, she said sorry she will think about giving me some other time. Immediately I brought out my main phone IPhone 6+ then foolishly and unashamed she said now am talking I should bring the iPhone for her number. I lost all feelings for her and played along. To cut it all short I dealt with her generation with proper wanking

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
This is a guy who is going to make it big time very soon.

At times you get rejected by a big company, and you think that's the end of the world, only for you to be accepted and valued later by an even bigger organization.
True...that was how my brother thought he already got a job at CHAMS, only to wait for more than a year without hearing from them.
All the while, God was preparing him for something big...he got a bigger offer at NNPC!

I dont even recognize rejection now. Every weekend my weed man dey do me delivery. As long as you be living thing, you must understand that living life is beautiful. One minute we are rejected, the next we are also rejecting. Its normal.

Rejection? Just took it like God didn't want that for me. If he wanted it, I would get it. I moved on and stopped bothering about me but the one who rejected me, wishing the person knows the value of who he/she rejected. If we believe in God and walks with him, we will understand nothing happens to us by chance, they only help push us to our real destination.

If you haven't been rejected in this life it's simple.

You haven't tried doing something big or taking a risk. You are probably still poor, insecure, naive, indecisive etc.

Can't count my rejections and triumphs. But one thing I know is. Whenever I get rejected I just get a clearer view of things. It helps me become better. I don't go about wailing cos I've just learnt what assumptions can never teach me. I grow in experience and gives me time to re-analyze and get a better result.

Be it in relationship, in business, in academics, in career, don't go about thinking you were rejected cos you were no good. It might be wrong timing, wrong place or even wrong choice. In all you should learn and then try again.

Meanwhile I was rejected thrice yesterday and twice today trying to market a relatively new product. Well I didn't go with my sullenness it simply presented me with the opportunity to know what they liked and what their needs were. By next week I'd source them and bring it to them and I've just got 5 new customers from my rejections.

Rejection na baba abeg grin

I had a crush on my supervisor at my former place of work, the guy is intelligent and handsome af, but we dont talk, there was a day i was in my station working and he passed and our eyes met, the few seconds it took for him to pass was like hours, there was this electricity btw us when our eyes met that day, i legit thought stuffs like that happens only in movies, so i thought he liked me, when i sent my collegue to tell him my feelings he said no, i didnt really feel bad though since it wasnt a direct rejection so i moved on smiley

Rejection sucks. There's no formula. I obsess about it for as long as the feelings last & then move on. I allow myself to feel. Hate it! After that I'm good to go, on to the next chapter. I'm an optimist at heart, so little hiccups like that don't get me down for very long. Life goes on.

The incident happened when I was in 100level. I met this beautiful angel that ended up rejecting my offer of sincere love. A few months later, her girl friend told me about her birthday and I decided to send a gift worth 20k and I attached a note to it.....it reads you are the greatest loser....you are worth more than this ....if only you are goid to me.....

What if there is another guy that sponsored the birthday for as high as 50k? Will she thinks she is a loser or you. lipsrsealed

There was not cos something happened at the end that made me believe she regretted her action ....but I cannot feed you gullible Nigerians with that part.....Just a little suya for taste before I serve una the final menu.....she ended in my bed and the relationship didn't last cos her Bleep off was always making me feel she came for my money .....unfortunately I am not Davido that has 4billion. ....till date she still calls me my love....but I told her that love died dead and buried a long time.....is just that her kpeku she was parading by then was eventually hammered

As I shot my shot with one fine girl that I'd been crushing on, the conversation went very well o. That's how she said I should bring out my phone so she can give me her phone number. As soon as I brought out my Infinix from my pocket, next thing I heard from her was "Sorry I only put my number in S8 or iPhone". Omo I died inside no be small
tell me that's a joke right?

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.
