Do not feel bad if people reject you, because people some times reject expensive things because they cannot afford them.
(APJ Abdul Kalam).
***
I have my own experiences (of rejection) at certain levels and phases of/in my own career development; but I overcame all these; I changed my routes tacitly, and put my mind and energies in the newer domains, and reached to a level of certain well acclaimed status, and personal satisfaction.
