The speech script
http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2008/06/text-of-j-k-rowling-speech/
Today, in lilterature class, the professor introduced us this inspiring speech made by JK Rowling, whose work, Harry Porter, caused a great attention from the public several years ago.
In the speech, what shocked me a lot was not the concept she conveyed, (because i was not a Harvard student, i knew the feeling about the failure), but actually was the firmness and confidence she expressed from her facial expression, her intonation, and even her instinct humor. It was really hard for me to image that she, as a single mother, once lived on the dole, and led a life with misery and hopeless. However, she overcame all obstacles, defeated all changes, and most of all, she never gave up what she really wanted, and keep the only one thing mattered to her: writting.
Perhaps, we are too young to understand what she has experienced, what she has struggled, but her sharing occurs to us that no matter what bad situation we encounter, just listen to our inner voice, and persist in what we pursue. Because life is not easy, and is difficult to to let everything to go your way. It is life, real life, and we must take tortures, which will help us more mature and learn more.
