I have missed more than 9000 shots
in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game-winning shot
. . . and missed. And I have failed
over and over and over again in my life. And that is why . . . I succeed. 
– Michael Jordan

Michael Jordan is one of the greatest basketball players of all time.  No one can dispute just how good he was at the game–and yet, look at those stats.  He missed more than 9000 shots.  He lost 300 games.  And 26 times he went for the win…and failed. So why was he such a success? Because he kept going.  He got better and better with each shot he missed.  He kept playing and racked up enough wins to become a legend.

If you ever get discouraged by rejection in your job search, I want you to think about Michael Jordan.  We can learn something from each failure that can make us better the next time.  And if you keep going, you will succeed.
