J.K. Rowling

"And it’s the ability to resist failure, in many ways, or use failure that often leads to the greatest success."

That is from a single-mom-turned-billionaire Joanne “Jo” Rowling, or who the world more famously recognizes as J.K. Rowling. She knows failure because she lived it. For a time Jo was laden with financial distress. Harry Potter was her hero. It was Harry Potter’s magic that gave her hope back. But more than that, it was Harry Potter’s allure that rescued her from poverty.
