A few months ago I got sent this video, courtesy of Saranpaal, of J.K. Rowling delivering a speech to Harvard graduates of 2008. J.K. spoke really well and presented a very good speech. Like I've watched this thing a few times now lol.
Anyways, the reason why I'm posting about this video is because on Thursday I went to my mother's graduation. And the man who gave the graduation speech was useless. He spoke about issues that matter to no one but him, and he definitely did not give any advice to those UNSW graduates. It reminded me of the person that gave the speech at my year 12 graduation, useless jibberish lol!!
J.K. talks about topics that are necessary to be brought up in life. She discusses the advantages of failing in life and also how important it is to maintain our imaginations. I know you're thinking of course a children's author will talk about the importance of one's imagination, but don't jump to any conclusions. I personally got a fair bit out of her speech. xx
