There is the saying "Architects can do nothing so well as lose." This comes from the fact that architects take part in many competitions and often emerge as losers rather than winners. But apparently they don't let that stop them from continuing. I find this very remarkable and admirable. We are all more or less dependent on recognition and success, and rejection and defeat affect us in one way or another, even if we sometimes have to expect or reckon with it. It's all the more impressive when people don't let this stop them from carrying on - like the architects, who apparently continue to be creative, design projects, generate ideas and thus also express that they still believe in their talents, abilities and the application of what they have learnt. So I wish you this architectural perseverance for similar situations in which you may have experienced setbacks or rejection.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
