What I learned from 100 days of rejection | Jia Jiang

15m · Published 07 Dec 16:30

Jia Jiang adventures boldly into a territory so many of us fear: rejection. By seeking out rejection for 100 days -- from asking a stranger to borrow $100 to requesting a "burger refill" at a restaurant -- Jiang desensitized himself to the pain and shame that rejection often brings and, in the process, discovered that simply asking for what you want can open up possibilities where you expect to find dead ends.

Instead, she says, they should focus on providing the oldest idea of all: unconditional love.
