The Benefit of Failure and the Importance of Imagination

This is a bit off the grid for me. But I found this to be an inspiring piece that we could all benefit from.

J.K. Rowling was asked to give the commencement speech at Harvard University in 2008. She talks about her own life and what she learned from failure and the importance of imagination. Thanks to Jonathan Robinson who includes this video as part of a series which he titles "Preachers who are not Preachers."
