Failure, Persistence, Success – The J.K.Rowling Story!
The success story of J.K.Rowling, author of the Famous Harry Potter Series, is inspiring.
Do you know that her first book in the series – “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” – was rejected 12 times by publishers over a period of seven years before it was published and became an international success?

If we want to win in life we should not stop till we finally get what we are looking for.
Positive persistence is the key when it comes to overcoming setbacks and odds in life’s journey
