If ever you doubted your ability to affect change, take a look at this passionate, heartfelt, and at times amusing speech by JK Rowling to Harvard University. Humbling and powerful stuff which proves we can all make a difference. On responsibility, Rowling says “There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction”. Fabulous! Choose your own attitude.
Her experiences working for Amnesty International bring a lump to your throat. Thanks to Shereen for showing me the way to this great speech.
