This document discusses how to handle rejections when presenting ideas. It recommends welcoming skepticism from different types of audiences, such as skeptics, cocky individuals, the absurd, and extremely intelligent minds. Rejection may also come in the form of pre-made decisions or boredom. Competition may also be in the room attempting to reject your ideas. However, one should take rejections calmly and refer objections back to the objective of the idea with a smile, not anger or pride. If an idea is still rejected after addressing objections, remember that not all good ideas win. It's important to leave on a positive note and later get feedback on why the idea was rejected for future learning.
