Sinossi
Quando J.K. Rowling è stata invitata a tenere il discorso per la cerimonia di laurea di Harvard, ha deciso di parlare di due temi che le stanno molto a cuore: i benefici del fallimento e l’importanza dell’immaginazione. Avere il coraggio di fallire, ha detto, è fondamentale per una buona vita, proprio come ogni altro traguardo considerato di successo. Immaginare se stessi al posto degli altri, soprattutto dei meno fortunati, è una capacità unica dell’essere umano e va coltivata a ogni costo.
Raccontando la propria esperienza e ponendo domande provocatorie, J.K. Rowling spiega cosa significa per lei vivere una ‘buona vita’. Un piccolo libro pieno di saggezza, umanità e senso dell’umorismo, ricco di ispirazione per chiunque si trovi a un punto di svolta della sua esistenza. Per imparare a osare e ad aprirsi alle opportunità della vita.
«Come un racconto, così è la vita: non importa che sia lunga, ma che sia buona».
Seneca

(B+) 78% | Good Notes: Her advice isn't especially deep or revelatory or new, but it's presented well and reading it just makes you feel better.
simply inspiring.
I enjoyed and admire Rowling’s speech to Harvard graduates (class of 2008). If it is not quite the equal of the greatest commencement addresses of this century—David Foster Wallace at Kenyon (2005), George Saunders at Syracuse (2013)—it is still memorable. It speaks to the nature of its audience, gi Leggi tutto
قد تعتقد أن تقييمي للكتاب بسبب شغفي بالمؤلفة فحسب فدعونا نتفق أن تقرأ 'خطبة' من تلك الخطب التي تلقي علي الطلبة يوم تخرجهم هو أمر ليس مشجعا علي اﻷطلاق..حتي إن كان الكتاب شكله جذابابل والخطبة هي عن أهمية وفوائد الفشل....تخيل؟وبالفعل تعترف جوان رولينج في بداية خطبتها أنها نفسها لم تعد تتذكر الخطبة التي Leggi tutto
"It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all- in which case, you fail by default."
The reason I gave this book 4.5 stars instead of 5 is because it was so short. This is the published form of J K Rowling's commencement address to Harvard graduates in 2008. Her words of wisdom ring true to all, and she even managed to sneak in a few Potter references. I finished in about 15 minutes Leggi tutto
“As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.” Very inspiring! JK Rowling has a magical way with words. Love it!
“So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at a Leggi tutto
Life's good. You know, that life is 90 percent what happens to you and 10 percent how you react to it. Rightly so, we are all defined by the choices that we make. JKR amalgamates humor with emotions exhibiting the knowledge that accrues with time. There's a quote from this book that found its place ont Leggi tutto
Never was a more true word spoken. A gifted speech from a gifted author. Definitely worth then 20 minutes to finish it!
