Reminder of Rejection’s Positive Power
March 20th, 2010
As scores of issues involving rejection, from difficulty in securing a job to denied lines of credit or foreclosed homes, are breaking into the lives of people throughout the United States and around the world, many may feel confused about their rejection or may develop elaborate and unnecessary reactions. A recent editorial published online, however, reminds those facing rejection that the subsequent opportunity to receive feedback can be a very powerful tool for achieving positive change. Though asking for feedback can be difficult, the author notes, it can lead to remarkable discoveries about oneself that ultimately hold the power to make future successes all the more enjoyable.

I agree to this.It does a person a world of good to know what went wrong in his attempts or method that yielded the negative result.Also,this will help the person in improving and working harder and hopefully gaining better resultls in the future.
Sometimes that feedback can be so disheartening though. It can really shatter what you thought about yourself. Guess it’s good to have though to know what other people are really thinking about you so that you may can change that for future reference.
Failure is the stepping stone to success,no doubt.When I started looking for a job and was not great at the interviews,I asked the people there as to what was insufficient and I worked hard on those areas…I landed a job soon after and I really believe that this is possible to anyone of us!
Rejection and failure can sometimes make a person strive very hard and achieve something far greater than what the person would have otherwise…it is astonishing how even negative things can help people reach great heights.
While difficult to sometimes hear it is a good thing to know what others are thinking about you and the things that you can do in the future to improve for anything important in life that you have coming up. Being able to take and accept and learn from criticism is something that I know many of us struggle with, I know that I do, but it can be such a valuable resource for all of us to consider. We often se ourselves way differently than how others perceive us to be. Isn’t it a good thing to recognize this and take a chance to learn from that?
