Let the Graduations Commence
It’s graduation time… I’ll be posting a few odes to graduations in the next few days. Here’s one that made me teary right when it started (which is semi-inexplicable.)
The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the Importance of Imagination
Harvard University Commencement Address
J.K. Rowling
Part 1
Part 2
Quotes
Failure: “…rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.”
Imagination: “In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared.”
Wow, you rock the Casbah, J.K., (even though I’m not that into HP)
Hey!
I found your blog, dearie! I don’t have time to peruse it in depth now, but I will come back. I want to see Judy Rowland’s speech :)
See you soon,
