You've studied your bachelors, trained to reached your reached your dream of becoming somebody someday. Everybody around is telling you that your good and your the best, your parents, your friends, teachers, mentors and classmate.
You walk with confidence and pride that you make it in this world. But in one snap of a finger your world turns upside down. You did not make it to an interview, you did not make it in an audition, you did not make it because you met an accident.
Would you call it faith, destiny.. Will rejections make you feel you have no future anymore? How would one cope in this kind of ordeal? How should a man react, pacify, stand up in that kind of situation?

We all experience rejections in our lives.
I have experience that a lot of times.
Never get discourage for every NO that you hear.
Yes, you get hurt about it.. What you should do
is think why they rejected you and you could do
something about it. What did you do
to make them say no.,.. There is no other way but
to go up... Rise from the fall, think positively
you have a lot of people around you who believes
in you and with that you should be happy.. ;)

Don't feel bad after a rejection. Just leave your past behind and look forward. According to Henry Ford, "Failure is the chance to begin again more intelligently." Why? Because when you reflect on why you failed (lack of preparation, confidence) and you improve on those weaknesses, you can try it again but this time around an improved you will face interviewer or judges. Sure enough, the result will be different this time around.

I am going to echo what yresh said. No one wants to get rejected. It hurts and it's very disappointing. I should know, I've been there a few times myself. But you've got to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and move on. You never know, the next opportunity could be even better.
