Feeling Rejected 7 Tips to Take Back Your Happy Place7 Tips to Take Back Your Happy PlaceFeeling Rejected 7 Tips to Take Back Your Happy PlaceWhether its dating or job hunting, everyones bound to get rejected along the way. And surprisingly, getting rejected for the job you thought would be perfect can hurt just as much as being turned down by your potential soul mate. The only difference is you (hopefully) get over the job rejection faster. It might take a while to get an offer from another employer, but dont worry, youll move on to bigger and better things. Here are seven tips to help you get back to your happy distributionspolitikAlways leave room for Plan B. One of the worst things you can do before you even get rejected is to put all your efforts and hopes into one job opening. Not landing that job can be tragic, so keep your options open with other positions to fall back on and soften the blow.Dont take it personally As Gregg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, authors of Hes Just Not T hat Into You say, hes just not that into you if hes not asking you out. Sounds simple, right? Well it is that simple. If the employer doesnt make you an offer after the second interview, it doesnt mean youre a bad candidate or that you cant do the job well - it just means youre not the right fit for them. Get over it and move on.Leave the past alone. Often when were turned down, we dredge up rejections from our past, making the current rejection seem worse than it is. This leads to second-guessing ourselves and drags out the recovery period. Instead, when you dont land a job that you were certain youd be perfect for, think about how those old disappointments led to bigger and better things. Look to the future and figure out where to take your next shot.Stay classy. Getting rejected sucks. Theres no pretty way of dealing with it. But when youre presented with a weve decided to go with someone else email, you should still respond courteously with a thank-you note. They may have crushe d your dreams, but if you show some class, they may pass your name on to someone else who has a better opportunity for you Karma, baby.Find an ego-booster. If youre aya you did nothing wrong and you cant help but take no personally, use your thank you email as an opportunity to ask what areas you could improve on. You might get some valuable information you can use in your next interview.Let loose. Rejections can take a toll on your mind and body. So go ahead and take some time to let out your frustrations. Grab a beerwith friends, take your kids to Six Flags and scream your way down Superman, or do whatever it is you do to take your mind off things.Keep on truckin. Youll never get over rejection if you stop searching for a yes. It may take longer than you anticipated, but your next job is out there and youll get it eventually. Just think of the satisfaction youll get when a company finally makes you an offerWhat have you doneto get over a job rejection? What kind of advice would yo u offer someone else whos going through a similar scenario?

This is how good ideas happen and are conceived

This is how good ideas happen and are conceivedThis is how good ideas happen and are conceivedWhen two humans have sex, its possible another human will be conceived.This is a brand new human. A whole human. A baby human.Baby X is useless. She cannot feed herself. She cannot hold her head up. She cannot roll over.The parent(s) responsible for Baby X care for it and nurture it. At the very least they keep it alive.With any luck, Baby X will grow to be Woman X, at which point she will have her own responsibilities. She will change the world in whatever way she sees fit.Eventually, Woman X may have a child. Man X (or at least Sperm X) will assist in another conception.Welcome to the world, Baby Y.But how is an idea conceived?Its a fair question.Its also one with an obvious answerWhen two ideas have sex, its possible another idea will be conceived.Three problems with this oversimplification1. Sometimes an idea will not be conceived.You brainstorm and you drink coffee and you try. But no m atter what, you cannot arrive at a pleasing result.Thats okay. It was a concept. There was no conception.How do you solve this problem?Generate mora concepts.2. Ideas dont always mate.Right now, our best guess says there are only 5,000 Black Rhinos remaining on this planet.What would help the endangered species?More Black Rhinos.When you have more Black Rhinos, the chance of making more Black Rhinos increase. This is the overall goal of endangered species biologists, yes?More conception = more conception.More ideas = more ideas.3. Sometimes ideas suckYes. And every time a baby is born, it is functionally useless.Which is why it needs you.This article was originally published on Medium.

And what to do with all that great data? That hardware store can learn, refine and provide better services, based on participation rather than protection.We are creating customizable marketplaces that all have a unique twist to them, said Michelle Regner, CEO and co-founder of Near Me.
