Life involves give and take. Both are important. Be active in a civic or social organization in your community. This gives you opportunities to help your community and to realize the valuable skills that you have to offer. Keep rejection in perspective.
Rejections are part of life.
Everyone gets rejected in life. If you take rejection too personally you mat avoid taking the risks necessary for your growth. Surround yourself with positive people. Positive and productive people gain energy and motivation from each other. When you are around positive people, you will learn how the can find the bright side of a situation rather than having the tendency to view things negatively.
