I was reading yesterday's newspaper because I slept yesterday away from my lack of it the night before and I happen to read JKR's commencement address to Harvard students. I just wished ours was this good. These are the following lines that stood out to me...
"Failure is the stripping away of the inessential. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity."
"Personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement."
"Life is difficult and complicated, and beyond anyone's total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes."
"Imagination is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared... And many prefer not to exercise their imaginations at all. They choose to remain comfortably within the bounds of their own experience, never troubling to wonder how it would feel to have been born other than they are."
"What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality. It expresses, in part, our inescapable connection with the outside world, the fact that we touch other people's lives simply by existing."
"As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is but how good it is, is what matters."
