“When you get rejected in life … consider the possibilities.” #TEDTalks
Jia Jiang adventures boldly into a territory so many of us fear: rejection. By seeking out rejection for 100 days — from asking a stranger to borrow $100 to requesting a “burger refill” at a restaurant — Jiang desensitized himself to the pain and shame that rejection often brings and, in the process, discovered that…

Rejection made me love a woman even more and for the rest of my life.
It’s been quite 13 years I think of her every single day, from time to time a tear drops.
My love for her only keeps stronger and stronger, she has no idea and she never will.
That’s why I respect her decision, she brought the best of me to live the best I can be.

People who annoy everyone to learn to cope with rejection bug me and the people arround me. Munich is full with idiots who seek this and most likely ask woman creepy things.

This can also be generalized to failing. Where rejection is just one kind of failing.
If you’re introverted, start off with games on hard or Legos or something to get familiar and build confidence, then move on to social interaction rejection.
