There is nothing more upsetting than setting your hopes onto your dream and it not work out. Usually I am not phased by getting ignored or rejected by employers, but this time was different. It was my dream job, something I want so bad and to make it worse, I got through to the second stage.. I was so close I could almost taste it, then it all came crashing down. Right now I just feel like giving up. I know I wont, but its a simple case of what to do next. I have a masters position as my back up, but how am I going to afford to do that?! I just have to get up and brush myself off, and start again as Winston Churchill once said
‘ success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm’.
I am not going to let go of my dream of being a journalist after this knock back. I wont let it defeat me. Everyone will have had numerous hurdles in their life, but don’t let it stop you, leap right over them, and if you fall on your way, make sure you pick yourself back up again, this time you will be stronger! A friend told me today that Walt Disney was fired from a newspaper company for having a lack of creativity and the founder of KFC was rejected 1009 times before his recipe was accepted by a company, and look how far they came! I’m going to use the emotions of this rejection to give me strength and determination to get to the place where I want to be. The biggest barrier which prevents people from succeeding is the constant fear of failure. Failure can go suck it, at least you can say you’ve been active in your life, if you keep on trying.
