The Inspirational Story of J K Rowling

Do you know anyone who’s richer than the Queen of England? It’s no other than J.K. Rowling, the famous author of the series, Harry Potter– having a net worth that’s over $1 billion.

No, she wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She’s no better than you during her early years. In fact, there was a time that she lived in an Edinburgh apartment that was greatly infested with rats! She’s a single mother who struggled just to make ends meet. Basically, you could say that her life was very miserable.

Being unemployed, she even had to juggle between a baby and her typewriter when she was writing her first book. Moreover, she didn’t even have the privilege to do this in the comforts of her home, but in a cafe.

Even the series that we love today? The first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, faced twelve rejections before it managed to become a successful hit.

However, her determination took her from rags to riches. She’s a great example that anyone could attain great success even against all odds.
