About This Quote

The quote, “Son, you never know who will step up with the brains and talent in a time of need and be the right one for the job,” is an encouraging one to have whenever you are facing some unknown situation. When someone you barely know or have never met suddenly comes into your life, you are filled with fear. You are afraid of rejection. Rejection is the worst thing that can happen to anyone.

A person who has not been rejected may feel secure in his or her own life. However, one who has been rejected knows that there are always people out there waiting to take away that security. You may find that people who have been rejected are more likely to be leaders, because they understand what it takes to survive the test of time.

Even though they may have failed at first, they know how to get back up on their feet and begin again. That is exactly what Nelson Mandela had done when he came back from prison after 27 years.
