Failure? Thats not a bad thing. Sometimes you do fail and its fine.
Rejected? Perhaps this is worse. When ideas are halted from becoming reality.
Then what next? To pursue it of course! How else will I know? What do I have to lose but some time, a little bit of petrol and a packet of good coffee?
To go a little further than expected. To reach out a little more than before. To love a little, little more!!
