The Difference Between Failure and Rejection

When something goes wrong, the big question is who's at fault? For a long time, psychologists only studied two kinds of ex nations: blaming others and blaming ourselves. Most of the time when you get rejected, the main reason is not you, it's not me, it's us. In some situations those reactions may be totally appropriate. Yet blaming ourselves often makes us weaker. It leaves our confidence shattered. Blaming others makes us weaker too. We need to learn from our own mistakes.
