We don't know how much effort is needed to reach success. Sometimes it needs huge efforts, sacrificing, fails, rejections before we reach success. Therefore, how to handle the fails and rejection is important.

When we fail sometimes makes us hopeless, we stop trying. Don't you know that many successful come after thousands of failure, when you decide to stop, it is mean no possibility for you to reach success. 

Failures and rejections are painful, it is hurt. But sometimes pleasure or pain is a matter of perception, it depends on how we see and accept. If we see the bright side of any failure or rejection, it will be fun.  

Failure means we get the information that the chosen way (method) is not working

Before we try anything, we don't know whether our way is right or not. When we fail at least we are successful to get the information. So write and remember it, we don't need to do the same thing in the future. This is an education process, in order to add more knowledge for us. It is important for us to prepare a reserve plan, don't throw all cards in one game.

The failure sometimes is not really a failure, The process needs more time than we think.

Sometimes we are not patient enough to wait for the outcome of our efforts, so we think that we fail already, our results will come at the "right" time.

Failure means we are asked to do another way instead of stopping.

When we think to stop when we fail, it is completely wrong, we just need to do it another way. By Learning from the previous failure at least you will do a better effort, which means the bigger possibility of success. The more you fail, the better efforts you can do. It is important to enjoy the process, instead of only thinking about the result. When you enjoy the process, you have a lot of energy, you will be able to do the efforts needed until your success come.

Don't ever think you will fail or you will be truly fail

Before starting anything, be optimistic, if you think that you will fail, it is almost 100% you will fail. Your optimistic and positive thinking will affect everything around you. 

When you are rejected, isn't mean you are not good enough, you only come to the wrong person

Nobody likes rejection, but rejection is part of the game in our life. Being accepted and rejected is like two sides of the coin. Sometimes rejection is the matter of "suitable or not" instead of proper or not. You need the right mindset and mentality to face it. The only thing you need to do is, adjust your proposal until it is suitable or find a new one suitable with your proposal.

Rejection also can be caused by wrong timing, we are too early or too late to propose anything.

Be patient, don't make a mistake about timing. Passion is important, but don't put it too much, it will make you lose objectivity to decide anything. Risk is part of the game, but we must calculate more accurately about when we will do your plan.

It is possible that we are rejected because of the wrong situation

Another possibility we are being rejected is we come in the wrong situation. We must be smart to see the right situation, keep calm and objective.

Failure and rejection are good to make us better, just think that they are needed as a learning machine for us. Life is a never-ending learning process, success is just a bonus.
