Looking for a thread - the one about not being able to achieve your dream

Guys,

can someone please point me in the direction of the thread that was recently on here entitled something along the lines of "what do you do when you fail to achieve your dreams" or "what do you do when your dreams are out of your reach".... I've tried searching under various combinations of dreams, reach etc etc and have not had any luck. But the thread was pretty popular and had lots of posts so I'm hoping someone can give me some key words that will help my search or - even better - an exact name / link.

Just got my first rejection call today from GS HK so am pretty down and keen to find some motivation.

Thanks
