Prepare to be human
Ever reached a level of sadness, when one person or an opportunity rejects you and make you feel like, you are not good enough.
Guess what? It just simply means you gotta be prepared to be human
Being an asian teenager in Australia, my confidence was shattered to pieces so many times when, I was misunderstood and was even called kiddo. But did I ever let it stop me? Hell no. I just believed that only efforts and work ethic is in my control.
Sometimes, everything felt too much because I’m human being and I was spoon-fed everything by my parents back in hometown.
When I needed a part-time job, I applied everywhere, online and offline. And I only heard ‘we’ll get back to you’ so many times with a nice smile and it sounded cute at that time, but no one bothered to call, even I was up for trial work and you know, training.
So many times, I just wanted to stop looking and complain.
But when I wanted to stop, I thought of this:
There are 7 billion people in the world.
There are 150 restaurants in the city.
I must have applied to only 50, still 100 left.
As there is still a chance, I gotta be human and keep looking with high hopes.
There are so many people left.
There would be so many opportunites to explore.
And I used to just fantasize, what it would be like if I make it.
I kept myself reminding of all amazing results I’ll keep getting during the process, and how amazing it will feel.
When I wanted to stop, I kept reminding myself, what it would be like to achieve everything I have ever wanted.
And that kept me going and finally I was hired by an Australian restaurant by river. And, that was just just beginning, i was learning the Australian accent and working on myself rigorously. Rest is history.
See, when you prepare to be human, you will never be afraid of non-acceptance. It is that bounce back, which will push you to keep going further.
On the contrary, if you would take it personally and start self-pitying. Then, you would be doing yourself biggest harm only.
I THANK EVERYONE WHO SAID ‘NO’ TO ME IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER
IF IT WASN’T FOR THEIR REJECTIONS
I WOULD HAVE NEVER FOUND MY TRUE POTENTIAL AND BE WHERE I AM TODAY
Being human and taking every ‘no’ with optimism will get you that greater good, you can ever imagine.
There will be many people, not believing in you, criticizing you and putting you and your aspirations down. But you gotta be human and keep moving forward while smiling at all those naysayers.
Of course, how you feel you look is more important than how you actually look anyway, because it’s all about attitude.
And i was like, I am a Badass-I was all attitude!
