These are some of the many inspirational quotes from famous people such as J.K.Rowling.
She was born in Yate, in Gloucestershire, England and is a novelist, television producer, screenwriter and a great philanthropist, who is best known for writing the Harry Potter fantasy series.
The books have sold more than 500 million copies, and became the best-selling book series of all time. They became the basis for a successful film series.
I find inspiration and life lessons in her quotes because, she basically started out with nothing, living on state benefits. She had to finish the first novel in a cafe, so as to save on the heating bills in her home.
Here are my top seven favorite J.K. Rowling quotes on video. Please enjoy.

February 7, 2019 at 7:19 pmThe quote about failing hits me particularly hard. I have struggled for a long time with perfectionism and fear of failure. I am not completely immobilized by it but it is a daily battle to put myself out there and dare to do things that I might not be good at.
It’s good to be reminded that if you don’t fail at anything, it means you haven’t tried and what kind of a life is that? Thanks for these quick doses of inspiration!

I also used to be afraid of making mistakes, which prevented me from growing. You reminded of this lovely quote about perfection by Angela Watson – ” Perfection is impossible; just strive to do your best.”

February 7, 2019 at 7:23 pmI love JK Rowling and the quotes you chose are totally inspirational! My favorite is the 3rd one – the ones that talks about failing and how you can’t fail if you’re being too cautious, but that’s not a way of living your life, in my opinion.
I think taking risks is part of everyone’s life and you know what they say – “you can’t win if you don’t take a risk”.
Thanks again for these quotes, they really made my day!

Harry porter novel was one of, if not the best novel I ever read till date. The only reason it’s not in firmly in my number one spot is because Game of Thrones

February 7, 2019 at 7:27 pmSome wise words coming from this inspirational author. She has really risen to the top with her Harry Potter books later turned movies and has a huge following – a feat many authors would love to achieve.
My favorite quote for today is ‘Never be ashamed! There’s some who’ll hold it against you, but they are not worth bothering with.’ This makes a lot of sense, as people that ridicule you are not worth having as friends. You should never be made to feel ashamed in front of friends, you should just be able to laugh it off and move on.

February 7, 2019 at 9:27 pmJ K Rowling is an enormous motivation to many. She appear to have kept her feet on the ground The first quote truly got my enthusiasm, of a fact men changes when their societal position transforms, I once had a companion, we both began from the scratch, yet when she turned out to be increasingly rich, she quit conversing with me.
I felt terrible and inquired as to whether I did anything incorrectly, however I never got an answer, at that point I later proceed onward. Lots of individuals treat those they think are inferior to them like trash, however they never do the same with their equals
