Rejection: Opinions?

Hi, welcome to Monday. Welcome to hell.


For most of us, Monday spells out back-to-school/work. And as a result, we all get the thing known as Monday blues. Suck it up. You'll be enduring it till you are at least 65.

Despite promises to myself, I have yet to think up of a concept for my Digital Imaging assignment. I believe that I'll have to find something really interesting to photograph to get good grades. Any good ideas, anyone? 

The other day, Zack had this really interesting Facebook profile message, which is common, but quite true. "The most hated word of the dictionary: no". 




I am inclined to agree to that statement. The word "no" often is linked to rejection, or turning down of requests. I myself have been hurt countless times by this very word, and might have hurt countless people by this very word as well.

Thing is, rejection is never sweet. No matter how much you "get used" to it, it's always painful, bitter and heartbreaking. My past jobs had been 1) A door-to-door surveyor 2) SIM card salesman. All these job, especially the surveyor one, had involved me getting brutally rejected, turned down and door slammed at some point of time. It hurts a lot, but I had to swallow my pride and get my job done.

Case study: I had been commissioned by Organiser to invite people for events. Person A told me "Nope.", Person B doesn't reply, Person C goes "Yes, yes, yes" all the way and "No" at the last minute. 

If this happens, how would you feel? I felt really hurt. At least, try to consider my feelings. I had looked forward to seeing everyone, hope was given, but in the end, disappointment awaits. 

And that is why I decide not to help to be someone who gives out invitations. From now on, I shall quietly wait for invitations. At least I won't get hurt.

I myself had been guilty for the same sin, and I blame myself for disappointing people. I now know how they feel. >_<

P.S.: I am not blaming anybody in particular. It's because I treat you people as REALLY REALLY GREAT friends that I felt so disappointed. :/ Sorry if it accidentally offends you. I can be dense sometimes.

My two cents worth of comments. Gonna go sleep early. Lab test tomorrow.

Ciao, folks. :]
