This goes for all those people who think a rejection could mean the end of the world. I know you’ve heard this before, but it’s not like that. Even the best authors we hear about every day had their moments of failure and rejections. Or should I say, their moments of climbing the stairs to being successful.
We know how inspiring could it be if you see what was the path these successful people went through. It’s important to know that you are not alone in this world, and you are not the only person out there that had to go through rejections for your dream job.
One example of what hard work does to you is this Harry Potter’s author, JK Rowling. She is one of those people you can relate to. She used Twitter to show her fans how many rejections she had before getting the job that made her famous.
As you are going to see from the letters, she had a rough one, as well. Before Harry Potter happened, she got famous among the writers with something all of them experience, being rejected.
Recently, she decided to share these letters through Twitter and inspire other people not to give up while chasing their dreams.
After so many rejections, she picked up her ego and desire to succeed and continued to pursue her goals.

I wasn’t going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen. https://t.co/bMKu4zJ3nm

I pinned my 1st rejection letter to my kitchen wall because it gave me something in common with all my fave writers! https://t.co/ZmGNWDdF7x

I had nothing to lose and sometimes that makes you brave enough to try. https://t.co/ETEk8lcih1

So, if you are at that phase of your life when you think that the world is crashing on your head, start believing more and keep pushing. Your time will come.
