As defined, self-development is the process by which a person's character or abilities are gradually developed.

There may be a times that we will experience rejections, that will result of feeling negative or down for ourselves. Just to share my experience, I started my freelancing career on one of the top freelancing websites. As I started creating my profile, I feel 100% confident for myself. But then, when rejections came into my way, things start to go down. I started doubting myself, "maybe I am not knowledgeable enough to survive the world of freelancing". 

But then, someone told me, "the result of rejections will depend on how you see things." 

That's when I started asking myself, "is it the rejections that pulling me down or my own perspective?" So, I decided to do some self-reflections. I assess myself, what are my strengths and most important, what are my weaknesses. 

After a week, I saw an advertisement regarding free courses online (Graphic Designs) which is one of the most in-demand jobs online. But then, I don't have any idea how to use Adobe Illustrator or even the Photoshop. So, I decided to take the free courses, and right now, I'm done with my 6th class. 

The uploaded photo is my sample work (my first work). From nothing to something. It may be a very simple work for others, but for me it is already a big achievement.

You see, when you look the situations in a different way, things will become different too. So, for those who keeps on doubting their selves, let’s take the rejections in a positive way. On that way, you will get the courage to develop you self or acquire new skills.
