《哈利波特》之母JK罗琳的11堂人生课

“I don’t think about who the audience is for my books.” Expectations of others can rule our lives if we let them. IF we let them.
“我不会考虑书的读者是谁。” 如果我们允许，真的只要我们允许，别人的期望就能约束我们的生活。

“I was striking an uneasy balance between the ambition I had for myself and what those closest to me expected of me.”
“我很努力地去平衡自我抱负和身边人对我的期许。”

Take a break from wondering how to create your career based on what others want. If you do what helps you, with the gifts you have, you will do as Jo did.
先缓一缓，不要困惑如何按照别人的期许来创造你的职业生涯。如果能做好有用之事，再凭借自身天赋，你也会像罗琳那样成功。

So there you have it. Life on JK Rowling’s terms.
这就是你能学到的。这就是JK罗琳的人生教诲。

“I was set free because my greatest fear had been realized. And I was still alive and I still had a daughter whom I adored and I had an old typewriter and a big idea.” Go ahead. Set yourself free. Your failures can be your stepping stones to greatness. This one life you have is yours to live. Do what you love and want to do—that’s where the magic is. Believe in yourself.
“我自由了，因为最大的恐惧已成为现实。我还活着，还有一个深爱着的女儿；我有一台旧打字机，并且有一个很棒的想法。” 开始行动，给自己自由吧！你的失败也可能是将来成功的垫脚石。这辈子需要由你自己来过。所以，请做自己喜欢和渴望的事情——这才是魔法魅力所在。请相信你自己！

Light yourself up and dig deep for the magic inside you. It’s there, and it’s in all of us. Harry leads the way!
请点亮内心希望，发挥你内在的魔力吧。魔力是存在的，所有人都拥有这样的魔力。哈利波特，请领路！
