This is a very helpful article for anyone involved in academia who has to deal with rejections (that's virtually all academics ;)

"This is why rejection must be normalized, not exceptionalized. Much of our unhappiness stems from the gap between reality and expectation. Early in our academic lives, we imagine a steady trajectory: submit, revise, publish. The reality is far less linear: most manuscripts are declined, most grants unfunded, most proposals turned away. When we treat rejection as the exception rather than the rule, that gap widens, and our judgment and our creativity begins to suffer."

In addition, Catherine E. De Vries offers six helpful rules on how to fail better.
