I have had some experiences, what I didn't have at first was that I could barely accept rejection.
Rejection is a difficult one to accept sometimes, but it's part of life and the sooner we accept that it happens the sooner we can built ways to deal with it.
I never try and preempt what may lie behind a door; sure, I have some idea as not having an idea would be stupid, but I never set expectations, I mean in business or personal, prior to opening the door, stepping forward towards opportunity. The key to that is to know what to do, how to react, once the door is open and depending upon what one finds. Does that make sense?
Yes I see.
You said it in a very reasonable sentence. you got it in more than 35 years and you share it with us all here. really a thing.
Let me take your sentence for me to quote as a quote and I will share it with others in my environment and hopefully help them too.
It's nice to share thoughts with others as we can all learn something new and benefit from it.
