J.K. Rowling And The Benefits of Failure
“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling gave the commencement speech at Harvard a year and a half ago, but it feels more relevant today. She is delightful and in 20 minutes gives damn good advice on imagination, empathy, creativity and above all failure, heart-breaking, empowering failure. And how to get up and keep going.
J.K. Rowling, author of the best-selling Harry Potter book series, delivers her Commencement Address, “The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination,” at the Annual Meeting of the Harvard Alumni Association. (via http://harvardmagazine.com)
