Recognition always comes after rejection. This reflects the idea that often, success or acknowledgment follows initial setbacks or rejection. It’s similar to a diamond, formed under immense pressure over time. Just as a seed needs to be buried in darkness before sprouting into a plant, sometimes rejection is the precursor to eventual recognition. Like the sculptor chiseling away at a block of marble, rejection could be the initial strikes that eventually reveal a masterpiece. Rejection acts as the refining fire that tempers and strengthens, preparing one for the eventual recognition that comes with perseverance and resilience.
