Do nedavno nisam ni znao da je taj njen govor izdat i u pisanoj formi. No, dok god milkin the cow može ići, što da ne. Ali svakako ću uvijek preporučiti njen govor koji se može pogledati na sljedećem linku. Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve. Jako komičan, lijep ali i inspirativan govor, pun životnih mudrosti i koja nam kroz svoja lična iskustva kaže da nakon svakog poraza, koji će nam se sigurno desiti, ne treba odustati, nego se treba vratiti još jači. 5*

Ich weiß nicht wie notwendig ein Druck dieser Rede wirklich war…

…aber der Name verkauft sich eben gut! Definitiv keine schlechte Rede und ein paar schöne Denkanstöße, allerdings auch nichts weltbewegendes! Einige schöne Zitate und Ansätze, z.B.: „Wir brauchen keine Magie, um unsere Welt zu verwandeln; wir tragen alle Kraft, die wir brauchen, bereits in uns: wir haben die Kraft uns besseres vorzustellen“. Ich würde gerne mehr hören von ihrer Zeit bei Amnesty International, sehr interessant.

This book is beautiful in more than just one way. The outside, of course, as well as underneath the dusk jacket, the whole layout of the book and all the illustrations. But, and more important, the words J. K. Rowling gives to us to accompany us on our way. She emphasizes that we are the only person to decide what's a good life, what's success for us, that only we can change something and that only we are responsible for being a good and empathic person. She points out the importance of empathy, failure and imagination and also tells us a little about her life. Nice to read, nice to look at. Funny and wise at the same time.
