‘A rejection is nothing more than a necessary step in the pursuit of success’.
Bo Bennett
People may reject us, society may reject us, but as long as we have self confidence, no rejection can be final! The life of great people is not filled with mere recognition and acknowledgments. They also faced rejections but they never took them as final.
In 1889 Rudyard Kipling received a note from San Francisco Examiner, a free newspaper, which read ‘I am sorry Mr. Kipling, but you just don’t know how to use English language’. But that never stopped Rudyard Kipling from becoming a great poet and writer. He ultimately won the Nobel Prize for literature for the year 1907.
In 1905 the University of Bern turned down the doctoral dissertation of a student as being irrelevant and fanciful. That student was Albert Einstein!
Winston Churchill was unable to get admission into the prestigious Oxford and Cambridge University because ‘he was weak in classics’!
Dr. Theodor Seuss Geisel was a very popular American writer, cartoonist and a poet. He was very famous for his children’s book. But his first children’s book ‘And to Think that I Saw It on Mulberry Street’ was rejected by 27 publishers. The 28th publisher Vanguard Press sold six million copies of the book!
