Found thanks to Max Niederhofer’s blog. Amazing Commencement address from JK Rowling’s to Harvard Class of 2008. I love Commencement address because they are great views on life.
This one is great because it’s about failure redoing again and the power of imagination that enables to edit real world !!
PS: Max was at seedcamp Paris (didn’t manage to find the time to talk to him, despite my wish because I’ve been reading his blog for quite a long time). Seedcamp was about imagination and failure too (We tried as mentors to prevent some but we know that we will fail too ;-D and that those failing entrepreneurs will learn a lot too.) Good speech… let’s start again with a shadoks’ motto :
In trying continuously one eventually succeed. Thus, the more it fails the more likely one has that it works.
En essayant continuellement on finit par réussir. Donc: plus ça rate plus on a de chances que ça marche.
