Learning from failures/rejections and disappointments

As usual I read an interesting article today about how the very successful and elite people have learned from the failures/rejections and disappointments in life to carve out a successful career for themselves. It is really fascinating that the top of the successful people were rejected in their lives but they did not carry that burden on their shoulder but moved on to much better chances. It just shows how much resilience they have in order to succeed in life. I just envy these people who have overcome odds in their lives to achieve greater success.

It is really not the end of the world if you get rejected from admission in your dream (or favorite) university, get fired or laid off from your job or fails to pass a test or encounter rejections in your job search. Each time that happens you should just pick yourself up and try a little harder. I know it can be daunting (I am in the same shoes) but just by giving up you hurting yourself and your family and nobody else. It is only you that with the supports of your loved ones and your friends can succeed in life. You are your own master and it is you who have to face up to your expectation at the end of the day
