I was listening to J.K. Rowling speak at the student graduation day at Harvard University (2008) and felt so inspired by her acceptance speech that I started to think about some of the points that she bought up with relevance to my own life. Her speech was centred around the issues of the benefits of failure and the importance of imagination.
One quote I would like to share is "Some failure in life is inevitable, it is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you've lived so cautiously, that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you failed by default."
