Rejection is defined as the dismissal, turning-down, or nonacceptance of a proposal/idea. As human beings, it is not in our nature to actively seek out this feeling because let's be real...rejection sometimes hurts! But what if we were to transform this misconception? What if we tried to actively seek out ways to be rejected within our daily lives? 

Today, we're breaking down the TED Talk "What I learned from 100 days of rejection" by Jia Jiang. 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 discovered that simply asking for what you want can open up possibilities where you expect to find dead ends.
