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.”

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.
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.
