It is impossible to live without failing at something … unless you live so cautiously that you might as well as not have lived at all – in which case you fail by default.
Behind the magical world of Harry Potter is a woman who used to live on social welfare with an infant to take care of. Word has it that she ran away from the child’s father when he started becoming abusive.
Whatever the cause of their divorce was, the fail out left Joanne Rowling emotionally devastated, broke, and struggle with deep depression. Having an infant daughter made looking for a job impossible and so she did the only thing she knew and loved. She wrote.
With nowhere to go and zero income, she completed a manuscript of her book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, and presented it to numerous publishers. However, she received only rejection and discouraging remarks.
