ANY man who feels the pings of rejection has yet to reach his full potential, as it would seem. There was a time when rejection from a 7 or 8 pinged me. Today, it's laughable; perhaps even cute. Though, if a 10 rejects me, I feel a small ping. So even where I am today, there's more work to do, which is a prerequisite to any type of greatness, as explained below.
It's entirely feasible to remain unphased by rejection by subjecting yourself to much of it across the board throughout a multivariated spectrum and desensitizing yourself into an entirely apathetic state. But even such a state is temporal, subject to your continued application.
I personally don't seek to be entirely apathetic. Instead, I embrace rejection and failure. As with each failure, "motivation" incites to get better. It's easy to fall into the hands of complacency; the only thing that protects us from this diseased state of complacency is "felt" failure. Without "felt" rejection or failure (whether implicit or direct), little motivation incites to evolve. Hence why I purposefully seek to fail (though with a concerted effort to win). As without "felt" failure, I'm just another stagnant crop ready to meet life's fate on life's terms, not my own.
