Winners


Sometimes, the rejection of another
Is more disconcerting to the other.

The cherished position you sought
Was denied, but nothing was lost.

The 'YES' inside of you is so much bigger
Than the 'no'  given for your job desire.

The rejectee may walk away with a smile,
Even after experiecing such a heavy trial.

One can choose to be a victor
While refusing to be a victim.
