 |  J.K.Rowling Speech
Through Christine Kane's blog I was made aware of a speech that J.K.Rowling presented at Harvard this year, it was posted on YouTube by another. I found that Rowling did very well to outline the benefits of imagination and contribution. So I thought I would share this find with the people of this forum, just as someone shared it with Christine. The video is split up into two parts, here's a link to the first of the two parts. I found it to be a great source of inspiration, you might too. YouTube - JKR's Commencement speech at Harvard (Part 1 of 2) Character & Contribution appeared to be the appropriate forum category for this at the time.

I found this too through one of my favorite personal development blogs and I haven't gotten around to watching it yet but I fully intend to, from what I hear it's definitely worth watching. Just as an aside, if you want to check out another great commencement speech Will Farrell did the Harvard one a few years back and its on youtube too.
