The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination by J.K. Rowling

More lessons from the past year. Here is a repeat of J.K. Rowling's moving speech at Harvard's commencement this past June (2008). We had to hear from a (nice) stranger that Rowling spoke about Amnesty International in the speech; you'd never have known from the press reports. Read it here. Watch the video, here.
