Failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me.

इस उद्धरण के पीछे की कहानी
Rowling described how, seven years after her own graduation, she had failed on an epic scale — a collapsed marriage, jobless, a single parent, as poor as possible in modern Britain without being homeless. She told the Harvard graduates she would not pretend failure was fun: it was a dark period with no fairy tale in sight. But failure freed her. With her greatest fear realized and nothing left to lose, she had an old typewriter and a big idea, and she channeled everything into writing Harry Potter.
