Rejection: Good or Bad...How has it affected you? by Susan Rice

Rejection

Dr. Steve Maraboli once said, "Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better."

I remember my first two job interviews - one in Charlotte, NC for an IT job and the second at a small private school as a 3rd grade teacher - I was rejected. A short time late, I interviewed for a job at the local library where I was offered a job with state benefits. I was redirected.

What I am grateful for now is that if I had gotten those jobs then, I may not have met and married my husband; I may not have my children; I may not live where I happily live now; I may not have the job I have now. All of things I love about my life.

I think that rejection is a bad thing because sometimes it can really hurt the person that you reject. It was cool how he got Krispy Kreme to make him some special Olympic donuts for him. Also, somebody let him play soccer in their yard, let him drive a police car, and the flight attendant let him give the safety speech. So, in the beginning he got rejected a lot, but in the end he started getting yes answers instead of no.

I think that what he was saying is cool. How he went around and ask people if he could play soccer in there backyard also how he went and got free krispykream donuts. Also how he ask a police officer if he could ride in his police car. And how he ask the filet attended if he could do the safety check. He was a cool guy and i think he probably helped a lot of people.

i think that rejection can motovate someone to do something else. He asked someone if he could play soccer in their back yard and they said yes. It is cool that he went to Krispy Kreme and asked for them in a olympics symbol and they were on the house. He asked a flight atendent if he could anounce it and he said yes. If you get rejected it just means that the thing wasn't for you. I couldn't take 100 rejections i would be mad. That is what I thought about the ted talk.

my favorite donut is- choclate iced.

I think I would feel bad if I got rejected.I could never do 100 days of rejection. Wouldn't it be a little dangerous? One time I asked my mom if I could have a cookie and she said no. I did feel bad because I could not have one, they were for the bake sale. The man went to Krispy Kreme and didn't get rejected for a special order . I bet he is brave now. I know i would have been scared.

my favorite doughnut would be glazed and raseberry filled

I think that that the 100 days of rejection is really cool but I could never do it. If I get rejected it could really hurt me or anyone.I have been rejected before I asked my mom if i could go to a friends house and she said no.I felt really sad but I thought I will get to go to her house sometime. I hate when my feeling are hurt. it is really cool when someone gives you something or tell you something nice you feel special.

My favorite doughnut: Glazed Crispy Cream.

i think rejection is bad because sometimes it can hurt them really bad. It is cool how donuts can make someone feel special. I think getting rejected is really hurtful. If i would of gotten rejected I would be really sad and hurting. my favorite kind of donuts is Krispy Kreme but I don't think donuts can make me feel special after I get rejected.

Rejection is a bad thing but the rejection therapy is a vary good thing. we can not stop people from being rejected but we can help people. the therapy helped them not be as scared. i cant believe he did all toughs things. My donut is glazed

The Ted Talk that we watch today was about the 100 days of rejection. This Chinese guy talked about rejection. He said that he was applying for a job and he got rejected. Ever since he got rejected he went into rejection therapy. The nit said that donuts changed his life. I didn't think that the people he asked would say yes. It was strange that the flight attendant said that he could work the speaker. I think it was a very good TED Talk. I really liked the video and it was very very awesome.

Favorite Donut: New York Cheescake Donut :)

The Ted Talk today was about the 100 day rejection. Not everybody in your life is going to say yes to everything. When you ask somebody for something they might say yes but they also might say no. I remember one time i asked for a cookie but my mom said no, but i was not sad because i asked my dad and i got a cookie anyway so i was happy then. so life in not always going to go your way, but don't give up!

Today we talked about rejection. This guy made a very interesting point to me. You never stop trying till you get it right. I'm am definetly going to try the 100 days of rejection. If you try this it will make you so much happier.

My favorite donut is lemon filled.

i think that the 100 days of rejection is a neat way of doing something fun. when you get rejected a lot you actually get used to being rejected. not everyone is able to take rejection as good as others. the person who was on the television took rejection very well. i know that if someone came to my front door and asked to play soccer i would not say yes unless if i knew them.

Today, our ted talk talked about 100 days of rejection. I think this was a good lesson to learn because everytime you get rejected, you shouldn't get mad. If you get mad because you get rejected, you will never have a happy life. I have gotten rejected many times like when I go to the store and I ask for a candy bar, sometimes my mom won't get it for me and I don't get mad because I know it is not nessecary. If you don't get mad when someone rejects you, you will have a happy life.
