J.K. Rowling: From Struggle to Success J.K. Rowling, the writer of *Harry Potter*, is a true story of never giving up. Born in 1965 in England, she always dreamed of writing books. But her life was not easy. In her late 20s, she lived in Scotland as a single mom. She had very little money and had to depend on government help. Even then, she worked hard, writing about a young wizard named Harry Potter. She wrote in cafes while her baby daughter slept nearby. When her book was ready, 12 publishers rejected it. But she didn’t stop. Finally, in 1997, a small publisher, Bloomsbury, said yes. They didn’t believe the book would earn much, but they gave her a chance. Then came the magic. The *Harry Potter* series became a huge hit, selling over 500 million copies. Movies, theme parks, and millions of fans followed. Rowling went from being poor to one of the richest authors in the world. Her story shows: Never stop believing in your dream, no matter how tough life gets!

Self-help books are overrated. Do you think the same? I would rather choose novels and collections written by H.P. Lovecraft, Novoneel Chakraborty, Ruskin Bond, and the Harry Potter series, of course.
