Don’t let rejection end your goal. JK Rowling was rejected 12 times before finding a home for Harry Potter. Frank Herbert of Dune fame was rejected 23 times until he was finally published by a publisher who was known for automotive manuals. And maybe you heard of Stephen King? He was turned down 30 times for his first book Carrie.

Rejection is not an objective evaluation of your worth—or the worth of what you do. Often, it’s one person’s point of view. So if you’ve been turned down for a job, a promotion, or a publication, don’t stop. Keep going.
