Harvard Commencement Address as delivered by JK Rowling.

...It was mentioned last week on a few friends' lists, and I put off reading it, 'cause well. JK Rowling?

I am moved. And humbled. Her two pieces of advice are precisely the things that I think Ivy League graduates need to hear. And I'd make an argument toward all Westerners as well, in particular anyone who is happy with their definitions for failure and imagination.

Thank for posting this. It brought back some horrible memories of classmates and coworkers sharing stories of why they and/or their families fled their native land. Well worth the read, it was.
