The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination by JK Rowling

I heard a news last night regarding a Filipino businessman who was being accused of plagiarism after copying excerpts from JK Rowling's graduation speech in Harvard in 2008 which he also used in his speech he delivered in Ateneo de Manila University just recently.

I got curious and searched for the piece which JK delivered and I felt compelled to share it after watching and hearing it. It might be comedic and funny but in reality doesn't necessarily mean so. It's full of wit and brilliance that no other than JK Rowling can come up with.
