We’ve found J.K. Rowling to be among the most inspiring and thought-provoking individuals.  Here she is delivering the commencement speech at Harvard.  She presents strong ideas on what failure means as well as brilliant insight into why imagination is useful and what your responsibility is to use your imagination well.  I’m guessing that her thoughts on imagination will surprise you.
