Rejection is an unavoidable part of life, but it doesn’t have to be painful. We all get rejected—from jobs, dates, cliques, schools. But the successful person doesn’t let any of that get to him. He keeps right on trying to move into situations that are beneficial to him. Try to use rejection and criticism as a tool for self improvement. Reward yourself for taking the initiative to go to that interview or ask that person out. Take away the positives. What did you do well in the interview? How have you improved since the last one? Be glad that you tried, get right back to it, and try again.

1. Sometimes, the word “NO” really means “I don’t kNOw enough yet.”

   My wife didn’t say yes to my marriage proposal the first time, but we’ve just begun our 19th year.

   Speaking of which - Congratulations! Many happy years to you and your wife.
