The Importance of Failure and Imagination

by Julie on March 16, 2010 · 5 comments

In the spirit of giving, this video was sent to me by a very dear friend, and I couldn’t wait to pay it forward to share with you.

This is super-star author J.K. Rowling giving an address to a group of Harvard graduates on their convocation day.

It is certainly worth twenty-minutes of your time.

Enjoy!

So glad you liked the video!

I love the part about finding gratitude even in the toughest times and finding the strength to push forward even when life pushes you back.

More inspirational videos to come, so stay tuned :)
