JK Rowling on Risks & Failure

leave a comment »

Harvard gets the greatest commencement speakers (if you haven’t seen Conan O’Brien’s Harvard commencement speech, check it out…). This year, JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, gave the speech. While it wasn’t with as many zingers as Conan’s, she has some great life advice…

…some failure in life is inevitable. 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.
-JK Rowling
