Benefits of Failure and The Importance of Imagination by J. K. Rowling (Motivational Speech)

Summarized with the best bits – This speech was shortened and summarized into 7 minutes compared to the original 20-over-minute-speech. We’ve titled this as “The Benefits of Failure and The Importance of Imagination by J. K. Rowling”, taken from J.K. Rowling Harvard Commencement Speech, 2008. We created this motivational speech with the hope that all authors will continue to persevere regardless of the obstacles and failures they faced in the past and the ones that they’re currently facing. Indeed, as shared by Rowling, failure has its benefits and drives you to greater heights.

“We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.” – J.K. Rowling
