Rejection is a powerful motivation

There
are many successful people today who were produced by the power of rejection
such as Sylvester Stallone (actor, movie director and producer), Arnold Schwarzenegger (actor, World Champion bodybuilder), J.K Rowling (author of Harry Porter) and
Jack Ma (founder of Alibaba). These people were exceptionally emotionally very strong
because they didn’t choose to give up when life pushed them around and away. They choose to be patient, improve themselves
and turned their stubbornness into a powerful determination.
Let us
play with the most critical question. Can this world say yes to everything that
we want? Does this world or this life work that way? If your answer is no, we
should do something about our children or the young generation. We have to slap
them early with this fact of life in order to build their emotional intelligence
every time life slaps them in the future.
What
should parents do to help their children cope with the pain of rejection?
Parents love to give. I understand that. Some people are
generous with time while some are generous with gifts. However, parents must
learn to say no sometimes even though they have the financial power to say yes
in order to help the children feel the pain of rejection through the word “NO”
so that they will understand the ugly side of life early, not to torture them
but to build their emotional strength.
What
should teachers do to help the students cope with the pain of rejection?
The
world demands perfection no matter how imperfect we are. Sometimes the students
submit an assignment that does not meet the quality that the teacher has always
expected from his or her students. The teacher must reject the poor quality in
a polite and positive manner and gets the student to redo and improve the
quality of his or her work so that the students can learn to respond positively
when his or her work is rejected. When he becomes an employee or a leader in
the future, the attitude of challenging himself or herself to give the best
quality may become a habit.
In conclusion, the failure to
deal with rejection positively has caused many lives to suffer from depression.
Therefore, helping the young ones to face rejection early may save them from
depression in the future. We can’t see tomorrow but there must something that
we can do every day no matter how small it is because small deeds will become
history when they are done continuously.
If you feel discouraged by problems, perhaps my first motivational book could help you to stay motivated.
