Accept H0, Reject H1


Rejection is among the worst thing in life. For examples: your paper or your work that you hope will get accepted, but then you receive an email that it’s been rejected; a guy or girl that you have adored for a long time rejects you because he/she doesn’t have a same feeling as yours; you wanted a job so much but then you’re not selected because you aren’t good enough. All of these lead to disappointment. But if you got rejected over and over again, you might feel like it is nothing anymore. Like you have adapted with disappoint of being rejected. And eventually, maybe you will give up on keep trying. That’s what I felt actually. By the time I wrote this entry, I felt half of me have given up on trying. I do not talk about feelings here. Yesterday, I had received another feedback from another organization that had been rejected my journal. It had been rejected AGAIN. I don’t know how many times including this. I felt like I should move on, write a new journal to submit and just ignore the first journal that I ever did.

But something has made me wonder like rejection should make you weak or make you stronger? For the optimist, they might turn the rejection into something that will motivate them to be better than before. So, if I am giving up now, does it makes me a pessimist? *that is not a question actually*
