Jia Jiang’s TED Talk on “What I Learned from 100 Days of Rejection” explains what most people fear the most, rejection. Jiang was oppressed by rejection at a young age and explained how that effected him in his future. He looked up ways to avoid the fear of rejection and come to get what you want. He found the idea of completing 100 days of rejection. For 100 days Jiang went around offering himself up for rejection. Jiang was able to “desensitize himself to the pain and shame that rejection often brings and, in the process, discovered that simply asking for what you want can open up possibilities where you expect to find dead ends” (Jiang 2015). By objecting himself to the pain of rejection he was able to control his emotions towards being rejected and lear to accomplish what he sets out to do.
