Some lessons learned

1. If you aren’t getting rejected on a daily basis, your goals aren’t ambitious enough

Easier said than balanced, I'd say. I've tried to do things that almost exclusively get me rejected. Sure it fulfills the above. But looking back, it did more to hurt my operational life than make me progress.

Just wanted to point out that you can be rejected too much at which point it may help to score a small victory here and there.

Can u share the exact experience you had? I always view this advice to be true when the people your asking stuff from don't know each other and can't talk about u... Ie it would work well in dating and in job interviews but it wouldn't work well in say angel funding int valley where everyone knows each other or hitting on all the women who are friends with each other.

Yes, creating positive experiences for yourself is a good way to increase your self-confidence and get more inspired. Nobody wants to get rejected, but you may eventually turn getting rejected into something positive. Always good to get reminded of that.
