Do you find this quote to be true, why or why not?

Question

"You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance."

Ray Bradbury

Answer 1

This takes a little thought, but it does have wisdom. If you accept rejection, you understand that people cannot and will not always see value in you, and this is not your problem. If you reject acceptance, you understand that you don't need to be accepted by others to be acceptable to yourself.

Answer 2

Definately because part of being able to live life is being able to reject something ever so simple or as complicated as it can get and you need to accept it back if you give it out. Anyway, it basically says that you can let rejection follow you and not care but you can't nessecarily accept anything.

Answer 3

When someone can accept rejection and grow from the situation then when accepted from somone whom they know is not where they need to be at the time and can reject such acceptance. They have come to know to thy own self be true.

Answer 4

True. It means to me, that you know how to accept rejection, and you aren't accepting of the rejection, if that makes sense.

Answer 5

yes i find it to be true because it says that you must learn to deal with the fact that you will be rejected
and
i mostly reject any acceptance that any1 has 2 offer

Answer 6

I reject this quote;you must accept this and give me my ten dang points!

Answer 7

Ooh. Great quote.

Boils down to yet another famous line: "To thine own self be true."

If you start believing what others might think of you, you'll be lost.

Answer 8

yes, because you can be fooled either way
you can be fooled into thinking you are no good
and fooled into thinking you are better than you are
the only approval you should seek is within you
