Failure only exists if you quit. There are so many times it was easy for me just to say f-it...
Rejections are tough. They can beat you and beat you, make you think that you're just not good enough. If you have a story brewing inside you that you just can't let go of, don't.
With all that being said, don't be arrogant. Yes, you may have a unique and brilliant idea for a story but like any craft, it takes time, effort, and revision.
Write the books you want to read.
Don't write to fit trends, set them.
