I remember going into a job interview for the job of SEO writer when I was about to leave the call center I was working in and I exerted effort as aside from the interview, I also went through numerous writing tasks. I was positive that I will get the job and I loved their office, the relaxed casual dress code, and the fun persons I met there during application. However, I did not get any calls and it was kind of disappointing. How about you? Have you ever failed on something that you put your whole heart into? Tell me about it.

Hi Cel! Oh, no worries. I am permanently employed as a public high school teacher now. You're right. We all just need to keep on fighting!

@rheicel Oh, no I don't. The job that I mentioned in my topic was before I became a teacher.

Sure, people fail all the time. I flunked out of Latin and a couple of classes my second year of college, didn't help I totaled a car on the freeway early that semester...

Latin sounds scary but no more scarier than totaled car. :(

I don't get everything I want. Sometimes that can be a very good thing.

Hi Morley! You're right. I get what you mean. I used to tell myself before that failure is often a redirection towards something better, like a blessing in disguise.

@nanayangel Angel, I have applied for jobs and was rejected from them and felt bad and tried doing tutoring online recently and was rejected and felt maybe that is not for me.

Hi Hanni Harel! Thank you for your response. I guess what's important is that we don't give up even though we get rejected.

Hi Ingrid! Thank you for your response. You're right. Quitting should never be an option no matter what.
