I love J.K. Rowling.
From the first time I have heard of her, I was amazed at her life story and yet did wonder about who she really was.
After hearing an interview with J.K. Rowling, I was not only impressed but touched. Touched by her simplicity coupled with her immense talent. It was only fitting for her to give the 2008 Commencement speech at Harvard.
Give yourself the time and gift to hear J.K.’s advice on the fringe benefits of failing. Her life experience shared with acute intelligence and lightheartedness is not only captivating, but makes you want to listen more to what she has to say.
The youtube video has the first 10 minutes and to go directly to the Harvard website to see in its entirety go to:
