I applied for a part-time job at a burger place to supplement my full-time day job in Marketing. But I got rejected. I thought it was hilarious that even with a Business degree they wouldn't want me as a cashier. Rejection is just a reminder that people operate with insufficient information and are limited by their own perceptions. The funniest rejection I ever got was when I first finished college.

I find that I fall into the category of 'fearing' being rejected -- so I try to avoid that situation at any cost. But if you think about it, I'm screwing myself over, because I'm locked in a spot where I try to avoid risk all together. I'm getting into the mindset of 'whats the worst that can happen?' when taking on new challenges -- if I fail, so what? I'll still have my life and my health, so big deal, right?
