Rejections give you a reason to succeed- No one is Born Intelligent.” “Rejections give you reasons to be Successful”.

Today I can understand the truth of these statements. It was just 3 years back that I recognized I too possess a flair for writing. It is important here to make it clear that mine is no case of inheritance. My parents are not writers, nor were my Ancestors. Might seem farsighted, but actually dreams take shape when you realize you have the ability to turn them into reality. It is not just destiny, but the setbacks that make one determined to follow ones aim. Therefore, it happened with me. Some small incidents at times become strong reasons for success changing one’s life like never before.
With me, It all started with an argument with my father. It was post board exams. One fine day I went up to him with this firm decision about my Career; “Dad, I want to be a writer”. His little grinning smile and sarcastic remarks were tough for me to handle. He tersely replied; “The skill of writing is inborn; don’t be fool. Rethink your decision". Harsh words flared my determination to become a writer. Other than this, one of my friends who is undoubtedly a very prolific writer came to my house with her mother. She had achieved many laurels for her writing. At that time, she was writing for a Journal "The Campus Paper" and she was proud of it as every writer is! Her mother felt happy boasting about her daughter’s piece of works that were regularly published in the Journal. One day, with the aim of genuine concern, she gave me the email add of the Newspaper and asked me to try my luck out there. Before I could express my gratefulness and thanks to her, she destroyed all my hopes. When I told her, I had many articles and I love writing. She replied; "They don’t publish any of the articles, you need to be really good, try but it’s very tough to write as good as my daughter". This was indigestible. I thank her for making me realize things are not easy in life. You really need to work hard. As that was the day, I promised my article would be there in print. My life changed. It made me focused towards my goal. Long back, when the Journal published a short opinion written by me I was overwhelmed. There was no looking back since then. Today, I write and I write well. I am proud of it. I have experienced many rejections. I cried on it. However, today I take failures with equal jest because they only lead you to success.
