It's easy to be jealous of best selling authors, particularly when they look so glamorous! Hard to imagine that some of them have had their share of failure and rejection. But I was very impressed by the content of JK Rowling's speech to new graduates at Harvard recently. The subtitle was 'the fringe benefits of failure', and it was a very personal account of her own development as an author and as a person. She seems to be someone who is a trying hard to make the world a better place as well as someone who is in a position to do it - they don't always go together. The complete text and video of her speech is available here on the Leaky Cauldron site, or on YouTube in three parts.
