Iris has a new role model.
After watching the interview Oprah did with J.K. Rowling I felt so inspired I can't even describe with words how wonderful I think J.k. Rowling is. I think she is truly an amazing person. I think the way she looks at life is just incredable. The interview took place in Scotland which is freaking beautiful with the greenest grass I've ever seen! She is great at interviews. She answers each question and gives truthful answers. There were lines read from the last book and lines mentioned from some of the other books, and I'm not much of a reader but after watching this interview I really am motivated to read Harry Potter. I guess I never read them because one I don't read and two I guess somewhere in my head I wanted to know more about who J.K. Rowling is and what makes her tick. I think this interview really showed the kind of person she is. I find her incredably insiering and a real person unlike some writers and famous people who seem fake and answer questions like someone else had writtin there answers for them. She has real worries like all of us do and I have never seen a person be thatreal in an interview thats something that shocks me. I love how she writes because she loves to write and because it's what she has always wanted to do. She doesn't do it for the money or the fame. Its's pure love of writing. As Sam knows I put on my facebook status as having an inspirational moment that this is why I put that. J.K. really shows that sometimes bad things happen so we have time to think and that sometimes it takes awhile for things to happen. I think it's cool for lack of a better word how she took her own life experiences and put them into the books. Sometimes other people's experiences can teach you how to live your own life. In the interiview they show J.k. speaking at Harvard and in her speech she says that rock bottom became the foundation that she rebuilt her life on. That just blew me away because most people when they hit rock bottom they stay there and don't choose to start from the ground up, so I think that makes her a very strong person. I also love how in the speech she says that you can't live your life without failing at something. That is so true and so many of us don't understand that failure can be a good thing. I totally agree with her when she says that failure isnt talked about enough. I also agree with her when she says that love is the most powerful thing of all. I highly recomend that Sam go on Youtube the moment she is done reading this and watch this interview. I think she will feel the same way I did and feel inspired. J.K. Rowling is someone I'd like to meet and have a conversation with. I'm going to end with two quotes. The happiest man alive would look in the mirror and see himself exactly as he is. From the first Harry Potter book. "It's important to remember that we all have magic inside us." J.K. Rowling.
