Wise Words from J.K. Rowling

J. K. Rowling, the British author of the Harry Potter fantasy series, told Harvard's spring commencement last week:

" We do not need magic to transform our world;
we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already;
we have the power to imagine better. "

J. K. Rowling, who is now on several ' Money Rich Lists', was at one time a single mother living in poverty seven years after graduating from college, said:

" The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks
means that you are ever after secure in your ability to survive.
You will never truly know yourself,
or the strength of your relationships,
until both have been tested by adversity. "
