There is this other school of thought where you actively embrace rejection. Quotes like the following (paraphrased) show this:
- If you have no enemies, you're not doing something important
- If you don't fail 90% of the time, you're not pushing your boundaries hard enough
The idea being that once you get rejected often enough, you lose your fear of it and you start becoming authentic and true to yourself.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoI kinda understand what you're going for, but it sounds... very narcissistic, almost psychopathic, and indifferent or numbed to rejection and interpersonal relationships. Maybe the authentic and true self is a prick that nobody wants to interact with in that case.
- the_only_law 5y agoGod I wish I could afford to fail 90% of the time.
- BeFlatXIII 5y agoFailing 90% of the time means you have an extremely generous buffer such that it’s no longer a requirement to have moderate success on the first try.
- wholinator2 5y agoWell since the quote says 90%, it seems to be saying you don't need to succeed on the first _9_ tries (at most), which I think is where the sentiment that it's an unachievable clause comes from.
- scsilver 5y agoOr you become an insane person who people cannot resonate with or identify themselves in. It kind of sounds like actively seeking trauma.
