By Mauro Libi Crestani. J.K Rowling is the author of Harry Potter. Her book was turned down so many times. She was very poor. She was penniless, recently divorced, and raising a child on her own. She was a single mother living on welfare, Twelve publishers rejected her book. When her book was finally chosen by a publisher, the publisher told her that she should get a day job cause there was no money in children’s books.
What if she stopped at the first rejection? It took her seven years to write and publish the first Harry Potter book. She could have given up at any point during that time. She had this idea in her mind that kept her going. An idea of what life is about. It showed how positive her attitude and aspect toward life was.
“You might never fail on the scale I did, But it is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all—in which case, you fail by default.”
The measure of success can be shown by how many times someone keeps going despite hearing only no. She was not afraid of failure and she had no doubt that she would succeed. She actually saw failure as the building blocks to which she built her success.
“Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.”
Your attitude is your decision. Nelson Mandela said, “Judge me not by my success but by how many times that I fell down and got back up again.”
All in all J. K. Rolling wrote seven books in the Harry Potter series. They have sold more than 400 million copies. All seven books have been turned into feature films. The franchise also led to the creation of over 400 licensed products, 11 video games, and two theme parks. All told, Rowling created a $15 billion brand. Her net worth is estimated to be around $1 billion. That makes her the world's richest author.
Her attitude stayed positive despite all her early failures. She chose to have a positive attitude and she wrote about that choice that she had long ago made.
“It is our choices who make who we are, far more than our abilities.” “Ultimately, we all have to decide for ourselves what constitutes failure. But the world is quite eager to give you a set of criteria if you like.”
Imagine waiting seven years for your book to be published. All that time, you are penny less with a child to support. When a publisher finally agrees to publish your book, he tells you that you better get a day job, because you have no chance of making money.
