J.K. ROWLING’S 2008 HARVARD COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS
9 Jun
Thank you for this remarkable speech J.K. Rowling…
“So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged. I was set free, because my greatest fear had been realised, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.”-J.K. Rowling

Director Romain Gavras is known for his controversial work. I’m sure everyone will have their own interpretation. Check it out for yourself…
