J.K. Rowling’s address to the Harvard class of ’08, on the “fringe benefits of failure.”

This video is on the long side, but as is no surprise, it is very well-written and engaging, so if you have some time and want to feel inspired, refreshed, and entertained, give it a listen.  It’s like the graduation speech you never had, and you also want her to become your adopted aunt.  

I’d actually never really heard an interview or anything with her, I realized, so I was very interested to hear her speak, and the speech is personal and wonderful.  After listening to this, I felt like a new grad all over again, inspired to head out into the world and make a difference.
