I have been watching this clip over and over again and find it amusingly inspiring. I jotted some ideas of Ms. Rowling about the benefits of failure and this is what I got...
1.Once you take the wheel, the responsibility is with you.
2. Poverty entails fear,and stress and sometimes depression it means a thousand petty humiliation but climbing out of poverty by your own efforts that is something to which you pride yourself and poverty itself is romanticized by fools.
3. You might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.
4. Failure is meant to scripting away of the inessential.
5. Some failure in life is inevitable it is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might not have lived after all in which case you failed by default.
6. Personal happiness is knowing that life is not a checklist.
7. Life is difficult and complicated and beyond anyone's total control and the humility to know that will enable you to survive this vicissitudes.
8. Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not and therefore the fountain of all invention and innovation. in its arguably most trans-formative and revelatory capacity, it is power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we never shared.
There were a lot of good points that I would have not jotted down.... Hear for yourself and be inspired!
