At the bottom of this page, you will find a list of my rejected papers. I record these for three reasons: first, to trace my own development over time; second, to remind myself during times of rejection that each paper will eventually find its place, alleviating unnecessary stress; and third, to demonstrate that success is not only about victories but also about growth.
To anyone who stumbles upon this list, I hope it serves as a source of encouragement and solace.
