'Rejection Is The Fuel Of Success'

“Rejection sucks.” Take it from the woman who self-deprecatingly and charmingly quips, “I feel like I'm always saying ‘I’m fresh off the boat’!” After all, Sarah Lian lived her formative years in Canada before returning to her homeland, when she decided to embark on a different sort of internship. Having thoroughly enjoyed her experience at a local news station, she decided to explore all the opportunities Asia had to offer… and has not looked back in the past decade. But it’s certainly no easy feat, leaving her mark and cementing her position in an industry that is as tumultuous as it is ever changing. Here, she shares with us lessons she’s learnt along the way.
