Dear Member
Have you ever been held back by fear of rejection?
Tech entrepreneur, bestselling author and speaker, Jia Jiang, knows first-hand how the fear of rejection can stop you from reaching your true potential.
But rather than letting fear stand in his way, Jia decided to tackle it head-on.
In what many would describe as utterly crazy, Jia deliberately and actively sought ways to find rejection. To do this, he embarked on a self-inflicted "100 days of rejection therapy" to "desensitise" himself from the pain of rejection and help him overcome his fears.
He would ask complete strangers questions like, "May I borrow $100?", "May I speak over your store’s intercom?", "Could you ship this package to Santa Claus?" This experience taught Jia that the fear of rejection can be overcome and even celebrated.
As the saying goes, "Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t."
I wish you the courage to pursue exceptional personal growth.
All the best, until next time,
Martlé Keyter, CEO Operations
Motor Industry Staff Association
(MISA)

Don’t become a victim of road rage
|
|
Most of us have some experience of being on the receiving end of someone else’s aggression on the road. It is never a good idea to retaliate, so rather avoid the risk as far as possible.
