Once in a while, we felt rejected for things that we want to achieve. It can be related to love, career, studies and the like. I had experienced being rejected not just once when I was applying for a job. But it did not make me lazy on finding another job. I kept on searching until I found a good one. Rejections gave me a significant lesson in life. It made me more persistent and developed my patience.
What did you learn from rejections?

It hurts more when it is a close family member or relatives reject us. But as what I have noticed, sometimes other people are more concerned to us rather than our own relatives.

Applying a job is really tiring . You will not know if you will be hired or not . All that you can do is pray fervently that you will be called to be interviewed for the job .
ANyway , we learn each time we are rejected . We learn to get up and try again in some other jobs .

That is the spirit @Jenning! I agree with you. If we keep our thinking on the bright side of life, then we will see how beautiful life is.

Rejection is one of the best things that can happen to a person because it helps us strive to get better at what we really want to do or realize that we should change something in our lives.

I agree with you Felicia Kane! Rejections make us humble.

Besides being more persistent and patient, I think we can always be more creative and innovative when it comes to rejection. As we can't find the way out of here, we will always seek for opportunities elsewhere, and we might come up with something even greater!
Good that you have found a good job!

Thanks @kaka135 I think it all depends on one's personality. If we dwell on negative things then we will be always feeling down after a rejection. So, I think it is better to always be aware of our mindset.

I agree. When I experienced rejections during those times, I tried to look for jobs over the internet. Well, I got a homebased-job and it was good to earn even a little while staying at home.

I agree. It is the way we keep on growing. Being stuck with the pain of rejections will lead us nowhere.

I agree. Learning is a never ending process. It starts from the time we were born and up to our grave.
