WORTHY Inspirational Book

"Rejection is protection."

The author tells the story behind the "IT Cosmetics" branding that....

One investor once refused to invest in her company when asked why.

The responses received were:

"I don't think women buy makeup from people who look and shape like you."

At the time, IT Cosmetics was in a difficult time, and the business had little money left, and she wanted that investor to fall.

Because it could be the last chance of business...

But... six years later,

Instead, she sold IT Cosmetics to L'Oréal.

Which became one of the largest acquisition deals in the United States.

And because she didn't sell the stock to anyone before that,

Today, she remains the largest shareholder of the brand she created herself.

In retrospect,

Rejection that day...

Not a failure.

But it's "protection" from what it's not.

Think of every moment that...

You used to feel pain.

Someone who doesn't accept you into the group.

The one who overlooked you.

A job you want but can't.

A frayed opportunity.

Failure

Disappointment

Or even the man who betrayed you...

Maybe it's not "rejection."

But it's "hiding your values" from people who aren't worthy to see it.

You are not denied, but We hide your worth from them, for they are not part of your destiny.

Believe in yourself, and don't be afraid of change, because every lesson in your life

Is always taking us to the right path.

"Learning...Is change. "

... Read moreในโลกธุรกิจและชีวิตจริง การถูกปฏิเสธเป็นเรื่องปกติที่ทุกคนต้องเผชิญ แต่สิ่งที่สำคัญคือมุมมองและวิธีการรับมือกับความล้มเหลวนั้น ผู้ก่อตั้ง IT Cosmetics ได้แสดงให้เห็นว่า การถูกปฏิเสธไม่ใช่ความล้มเหลว แต่เป็นการปกป้องจากสิ่งที่ไม่เหมาะสมสำหรับเรา และเป็นโอกาสให้อยู่ในเส้นทางที่ถูกต้องมากขึ้น ในแง่ของการตลาดและแบรนด์ดิ้ง เรื่องราวนี้ชี้ให้เห็นถึงพลังของความเชื่อมั่นในตัวเอง การสร้างแบรนด์ที่มีเอกลักษณ์ และการยืนหยัดแม้ได้รับเสียงปฏิเสธ รวมถึงการพัฒนาผลิตภัณฑ์ที่ตอบโจทย์ผู้บริโภคอย่างแท้จริง ซึ่งช่วยให้ IT Cosmetics ก้าวข้ามอุปสรรคและประสบความสำเร็จจนได้รับความสนใจจาก L’Oréal ที่เป็นกลุ่มธุรกิจความงามระดับโลก นอกจากนี้ โอกาสที่หลุดลอยหรือการถูกมองข้าม อาจเป็นการซ่อนคุณค่าที่แท้จริงของเราให้พ้นจากผู้ที่ไม่ใช่ส่วนหนึ่งของเส้นทางชีวิตเรา แทนที่จะมองว่าการปฏิเสธเป็นเรื่องน่าผิดหวัง เราควรใช้โอกาสนี้เพื่อการเติบโตและเรียนรู้ที่จะเปลี่ยนแปลงตัวเองอย่างมั่นใจ สำหรับผู้ที่กำลังเผชิญปัญหาและความท้าทายในชีวิต การเรียนรู้ว่า "การถูกปฏิเสธคือการคุ้มครอง" จะช่วยให้เกิดแรงบันดาลใจและพลังใจในการก้าวไปข้างหน้า พร้อมที่จะสะท้อนความเชื่อมั่นในคุณค่าและศักยภาพของตนเอง เพื่อสร้างอนาคตที่ดีกว่าอย่างมั่นคงและยั่งยืน
