Thinking
第九章的結構特別清晰病瞳，講了rejection帶給人的積極一面获诈。比如激發(fā)人的動力（不受同學的歡迎給了他奮進的力量）心褐，自我提升（到十字路口募捐得到了不同的推廣方式效果不同的經(jīng)驗），worthless（這個不知道怎么翻譯逗爹，意思是說被拒絕了有時是求之不得的事嚎于？）還有性格的養(yǎng)成挟冠。
但是我覺得第九章相比之前幾章，其實有點嘮叨肋僧。來來回回講一些空泛的重復的道理，所以不太喜歡看嫌吠。這四個好處歸根到底是共通的掺炭，自我成長和性格養(yǎng)成也是需要動力下的結果。

? I had an online shop selling clothes and shoes. At first, I was afraid to introduce my shop to my friends cause it felt like I was imploring other people to say ”yes ” to my items and me. But finally I tried it and my shop successfully piqued some people’s interests. As a result, I had come to fear selling far less than I did before.
