I have always loved this author and she doesn't disappoint in her speech here. Great read and wonderful message about what is truly important.
4.5 stars “It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default.”
This is a transcription of Rowling's 2008 commencement speech at Harvard. The text is available on Harvard's website, but the book includes some illustrations.
