Einstein – I am thankful to those who said NO to me. It’s because of them I did it myself.
Wow, wow, wow! This quote is definitely worth three wows!
I remember how many interviews I attended after graduation from Webster University, St. Louis. Rejection letters were as many as the bills. It was real. I dealt with several rejection letters. I volunteered my life to the point I started asking when the career path will start. It took me back to how real life was. After the rejection, I said “No” I’ve decided from that point, “I was going to do it myself.”
When things don’t go your way, or someone turns you down, NEVER see it as a failure, but see it as an inspiration to try harder the next time. Just investigate the success stories out there, a small percentage succeeded right away – the rest struggled their way to the top. Where did they get the drive to do this? – they believed in themselves.
