On Rejection

Mohammed HijabI get rejected all the time. Like, really? Yeah. I mean...

HostIn a romantic sense?

Mohammed HijabYou know, it's... I used to work in sales.

HostOkay.

Mohammed HijabAnd I would make about 100 calls, 200, 300 calls a day, and maybe 1% of people would accept the product, whoever's service I'm selling. Yeah. So when we go and do da'wah...

HostYeah.

Mohammed HijabOkay, like we can go and speak to a hundred people and one person will embrace Islam from that, or two. And that's a form of rejection if we're being honest. In terms of women, then the same thing can apply. You know, it's you can go to this, you can go to 100 women and ask them all to marry you, and only like five of them or six of them are actually...

HostTrue.

Mohammed HijabAnd so, I mean, that for me is not... I don't really feel any way about it. Like, I actually feel like if you want to get good at anything, you have to handle being rejected. Because if you don't, most of the things that you're going to do in your life are a numbers game.

HostExactly.

Mohammed HijabWhether you want to do business, you're going to have to accept, okay, people are not going to want what I'm looking for. You can't be offended too much by that stuff.

HostExactly.

Mohammed HijabMost of the things that you're going to do, that you're going to require, like if you want to be good at something, it's going to be you need to try and get, you accept being rejected, just feel it. So it's not a problem.
