All my career rejections
I get it, and I think we&#x27;ve all been hurt. But why keep this list?<p>I remember when I had a stellar year at a big corp. My manager said `nothing bad to report, wow`. I was ready for that S - a Special automatically meant a promotion.<p>A few weeks later, when the whole R&amp;D got the performance letter, I received mine with a C. D usually meant `demitido`, or fired in portuguese. I couldn&#x27;t believe it, and I kept that letter through many years, just as a reminder of how you can get screwed by things that are not in your power.<p>A few years later, when I saw the letter, I had a much better job, and was much happier. No good could come from seeing that letter from time to time, so I threw it away.<p>As long as these things are living in your life, they are consuming you. The sooner you let them go, the sooner you&#x27;ll be free
