"Congratulations!" My mentor exclaimed in text, "Today you got your first rejection!" Oh, ok, so now I am suppose to be happy with that? Oh yes, today is my first home visit and luckily or unluckily, it was a very dear neighbour whom I help get a porcelain knife set, nothing big, just my little way of starting and trying to build awareness for myself.
Ok, so aunty, not being very receptive, I took the initiative to look around her place for clues and leads that I could use in the future, you know, being initiative and ask smart questions that would maybe stir some curiosity. Don't give up, I kept telling myself, it is about the future, let the now be a foundation for a fruitful and successful future.
I now understand why I got a congratulations from my mentor, it is because she is glad that I am getting a wholesome learning experience from my first few steps, with this I will be better ready for more challenges and pick up difficult tasks. Building a long term business is our goal, I believe this will work with hard work and persistence, so rejection or insult, I will endure, as long as my conscience is clear, I will go to bed every night giving myself a pat on the back. Congratulations Alvyn, another day of great work and changing lives!
I hope you learn to pick yourself up from rejections too, because the worst kind of rejection is by yourself.
