JK Rowling: The fringe benefits of failure | Video on TED.com

At her Harvard commencement speech, "Harry Potter" author JK Rowling offers some powerful, heartening advice to dreamers and overachievers, including one hard-won lesson that she deems "worth more than any qualification I ever earned."

I was so impressed with JK Rowling's speech, as presented on TED, that I had to share it with you.

It is 20 minutes well spent.

I've gotten behind on some of my blog reading, but kept this in my email because I knew I should get back to it. Thanks for posting it. It's really remarkable.
