    Success is often measured by the ability to overcome adversity. But?it is often the be?lief of others that gives us the courage to try.

   J. K. Rowling, the- author of the Harry Potter book series, began writing at the age of 6. In her biography, she remembered with great fondness when her good friend, Sean, whom she met in secondary school, became the first person to encourage her and help her build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer.

"He was the first person with whom I really dis?cussed my serious ambition to be a writer. He was also the only person who thought I was bound to be a success at it, which meant much more to me than I ever told him at the time."

Despite many setbacks Rowling persevered in her writing, particularly fantasy stories. But it wasn't until 1990 that she first conceived the idea about Harry Potter. As she recalls,"It was on a long train journey from Lon?don to Manchester that the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into my head. To my immense frustration (沮丧)，I didn't have a functioning pen with me, and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one. I think, now, that this was probably a good thing, because I simply sat and thought, for four hours( delayed train) , and all the details bubbled up in my brain,and this scrawny?black-haired, be?spectacled boy who didn't know he was a wizard became more and more real to me."

That same year, her mother passed away after a ten-year battle with multiple sclerosis, which deeply affected her writing. She went on to marry and had a daughter,but separated from her husband shortly afterwards.

During this time, Rowling was diagnosed with clinical depression. Unemployed, she completed her first novel in cafes, where she could get her daughter to fall asleep. Af?ter being rejected by 12 publishing houses,the first Harry Potter novel was .sold to a small British publishing house.

 Now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 mil?lion copies in 64 languages, J. K. Rowling is the highest earning novelist in history. And it all began with her com?mitment to writing that was fostered by the confidence of a friend ！
