It is impossible to know what's on the other side of the door except we get through the door first, whether is a yes or no will be determined after you have got past the door.
I picked up a lesson here but having physical conversation used to be a big issue for me, I remembered when I was working as a supervisor. I understood the importance of physical conversation and I tried developing myself but I didn't get to be my best at it.
During that time, I learned that rejections hit differently when it is said to your face physically. It doesn't hurt too much from the phone and that's why a lot of people including myself love to talk more through emails and calls. It is a fear I must face and this inspires me a lot.
Rejection can be difficult to take sometimes but it is a part of life that must be dealt with, and if possible turned to an advantage. I don't see rejection as altogether bad as it forces thought, makes one have to come up with new plans, strategies and attitudes. How could that be a bad thing?
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.
