rejected, and relieved

塞翁失马，焉知非福

this phrase was shared with me by a blog reader recently. and he shared with me this after i shared that co b (that i had recently gone for the interview with), reverted that they would not be pursuing further conversations with me for the position anymore. i was not surprised given the total lack of chemistry between me and the interviewer. in fact, it was a total relief for me to know that i will not be required to attend further interviews as my continued attendance was out of considerations of my ex-colleague who referred me to the job.

anyway, back to the phrase. it simply meant - a set-back may be a blessing in disguise, or every cloud has a silver lining. i couldn't agree more. and i certainly hoped so.
