1000 fearless asks
pprr's A year of 1000 Nos outlines their ongoing experiment to obtain 1000 rejections, ghostings, or unexpected acceptances. While it reminded me of mantras like Cate Hall's "you can just do things" and Visa's "focus on what you want to see more of", you might just find these related insights helpful too:
- You can ask for what you want whether it will even remotely succeed or not.
- Asking can make the difference between following a rule and finding an exception to it.
- Racking up both acceptances and rejections can train away sensitivity toward or dependence on either outcome.
- You can gradually experiment more often than not only your past self, but also your peers and people in general.
