Every time I push open the door of an investment company, the mixed emotions of hope and uneasiness will overwhelm me like a tide. I am like a lonely warrior, holding the shield of dreams, rushing towards the seemingly indestructible wall of rejection again and again.

Those words of rejection, like cold raindrops, hit me densely, and the chill penetrated my heart. "Your plan is too naive, e-commerce? It's just a bubble, don't waste our time." A front desk receptionist of an investment company threw my plan on the table with disdain in his eyes. The moment the plan slipped to the ground, my heart seemed to be hit hard. I bent down to pick it up, and my fingers tightened unconsciously. The plan was pinched and deformed, just like my heart that was crushed and tried to piece together at this moment.

And those investors, they sat in comfortable leather seats, looking at me with scrutiny, as if looking at a funny clown. "Young man, do you know how cruel business competition is? Do you think no one has thought of the ideas you have? Don't daydream like this." Their voices echoed in the spacious office, and every word was like a sharp knife, stabbing my self-confidence accurately. I felt like I was struggling in the abyss of darkness, surrounded by endless ridicule and denial, and I couldn't find the rope to climb up.

Walking on the bustling streets, looking at the bustling crowd, I suddenly felt that I was out of tune with this world. I was the isolated person, holding a dream that was not understood. The people around me were in a hurry. They might be running for life, or enjoying ordinary happiness, but I was tasting the bitterness of failure in this hustle and bustle. My steps became heavy, and every step was like dragging a thousand-pound chain.

For a moment, I really wanted to give up. Once this idea appeared, it spread wildly in my mind like weeds. I asked myself, why am I so persistent? Why do I have to endure all this pain? I am just an ordinary person, maybe ordinary life is the path I should choose. I thought of my small rental house. Although it was simple, it at least gave me a place to stay. If I gave up this unattainable dream, maybe I wouldn't have to face these cynicisms anymore, and I wouldn't have to suffer between hope and disappointment.

However, when I closed my eyes, the scene of my previous life reappeared like a nightmare. The downtrodden self shivered in the dark corner, surrounded by the roar of debt collectors. And Xiaolu, her disappointed eyes, like an unhealable wound, will always be engraved in my heart. It was a kind of despair that was more terrible than death, and I couldn't let such a scene happen again. I knew that if I gave up in this life, I would never be able to forgive myself, and I would fall into endless regret again.

So, I rekindled the dying flame in my heart. Every rejection was regarded by me as a test, a sharpening that made me more determined. I told myself that those who didn't believe in me just couldn't see the dawn of the future, and I was a dreamer who traveled through time and space. I knew that this seemingly vagueWhat a brilliant scenery at the end of the road.

I returned to the simple rental house. Although there was no luxurious decoration here, there were traces of my struggle. The walls were covered with e-commerce information I sorted out. Those dense handwriting and charts were my map to success. I sat at the desk and reviewed my business plan. I analyzed the problems pointed out by investors one by one, trying to find solutions from different angles.

I thought of those successful entrepreneurs. Didn’t they also face countless doubts and difficulties in the early days of their business? The reason why they were able to succeed was because they had firm beliefs and indomitable spirit. I told myself that I wanted to be that kind of person. I regarded those cynicisms as motivation to move forward, and let them push me to constantly improve my plan.

I began to study the market more deeply. I went to the library to look up information, searched for various relevant information on the Internet, and did not miss any details that might help me. I also visited small companies that have already been involved in the Internet field, asked them for experience, and learned about the problems and challenges they faced. In this process, I met some like-minded friends. Although they were also struggling on the road of entrepreneurship, their enthusiasm and persistence gave me great encouragement.

We discussed the future development direction of e-commerce together and shared each other's ideas and insights. In those passionate discussions, I felt a kind of power, a cohesion from a common dream. We are like a group of travelers groping in the dark. Although we don’t know how far the road ahead is, we rely on each other, encourage each other, and move forward towards the looming light.

Whenever I set foot on the road of looking for investment again, I will silently say to myself in my heart: "This time, I will be one step closer to success." Those past setbacks and pains have become the lines on my armor, making me more resilient. I know that on this thorny road, I can't look back, and I won't look back, because I want to create a better future for Xiaolu, and I want to prove my value to the world. I am the dreamer who was reborn in setbacks, and I will use my persistence to write my own legend.
