A good option is that you can use your imagination, skill, creativity, think out of the box and give this kind of design to the world. It was done by J.K.Rowling. He used his imagination to create a world class product. How did he do it? From the time this idea came to his head at the age of 17 until the day he finished writing this book, he faced many problems and challenges during that time. I lost my parents, got divorced, got depressed. This pain was the motivation for her to unveil this design to the world. She has told the media several times that the paper and the pen relieved my pain. So let's talk about her journey to success and what challenges she faced. I invite you to read this article till the end. If you can get some ideas and motivation from this article for your life, your success journey, that is our goal. So come with me and talk about the writer who took the world by storm...


This case study is very special. Those who write books like this, those who direct movies, those who create this kind of work, especially in their first work, often add things from their personal life to that work. The things that happened in the personal life of J.K.Rowling in the Harry Potter series, those events have been collected from each place for each character in this series. For example, when J.K.Rowling was a child, there was a scary place near her house. That piece is called The forest of dean and is shown to you at different places in the Harry Potter series. The character of Hermione Granger is created by adding a little exaggeration to J.K.Rowling's childhood character. And J.K.Rowling is a person who likes to travel by train. That is why the incident of traveling to Hogwarts on that train has been added to it. And there is a little naughty boy living near the house of J.K.Rowling. He is taken as Harry in this story. Sean Harris is JK Rowling's childhood best friend. The character of Ron has taken that thought. In short, Harry Potter's birthday is J.K.Rowling's real birthday.


Talking about J.K.Rowling's childhood, when J.K.Rowling was born, her parents expected a boy. That's why the name Joana is mostly called Joe. Treated like a boy. She wore blue clothes more. Now, like other case studies, J.K.Rowling is a person who has not had any problems like financial difficulties since childhood. But she had a different problem. She felt like I was ostracized from this family since childhood. My ideas do not fit with them, she had a mind that felt lonely. J.K.Rowling's mother and father have had a habit of reading books. She says that I think that reason was the foundation for me to have a little desire to associate with books. Because it was that family environment that got her used to living with books and made her love it. It is from this foundation that she tried to write her first story at the age of 06 or 07. JK Rowling and her sister studied in the same school. Her mother is also a teacher in the same school. When J.K.Rowling comes home after school, she shares everything that happened at school with her sister. She says that her story telling skills developed because of that.


She says I wanted to become a writer since childhood. But I had to study French at a university due to my parents' insistence. But while learning French, she always goes to the library and learns many things outside the syllabus. Because of that, she has been able to develop these skills like literature, writing, structuring things, how to write a story, how to break the story into parts. J.K.Rowling says that she wants to write 07 story books but she wants to finish writing them within the next 05 years. It took her about 6 months to write only the first chapter of the first book. She has written that first chapter in 155 ways, but she did not like even one way of writing it. Sometimes she draws the characters in the story and imagines them coming like this.


One day in 1990, she was traveling by train from Manchester to London. While she was traveling, she got an idea, a story about a little boy going to a magic school. But the problem is that she didn't have a paper or a pen to write it down. But as soon as the journey ended after 04 hours, she quickly went and took the nearest piece of paper and pen and wrote a little about it and made a little effort to make a small story. But even though the idea came to her mind, her mother died before she could finish writing the book. So after that her life changes a lot. She became mentally weak. In the end she decides to go to Portugal. She works there as a teacher. With the quiet and beautiful environment there and with her aloneness, she is able to finish writing the first book of the Harry Potter series.


While she was living in Portugal, she married a journalist in Portugal. But her married life was not a beautiful one. She is facing various problems. She has even said that she has been subjected to domestic violence. Finally, after 13 months of marriage, she decides to divorce. But then she is a mother. Remember the role of Harry in the Harry Potter series. No mother and father, an outsider who takes care of them, lonely life, all these are included in the story in one way or another. If you think about it properly, you can understand all those connections. Finally she comes to England with her child. She wants to earn money to live, so she goes to work in a restaurant. She gets rest only when her child goes to sleep. As soon as I go to sleep, I go to the cafe in front of me and finish the rest of the book. Since there were no computers in those days, she wrote the series by hand.


She ends up writing the series anyway. But believe me, it takes more than 5 years to publish that series. why is that? At that time, no one had the ability to write a story like this. Every organization refuses to publish it, saying that these kinds of stories are not suitable for us, and that these kinds of stories are not what people want to read. But even if some refused, she tried to take it to the people. Imagine facing various challenges and obstacles for many years and finally being rejected by 12 book publishers. How did she feel? But J.K.Rowling endured all that and did not give up on her many years of dream and effort because she was afraid of rejection.


She takes those rejections as a blessing. Rejection is the best and most powerful motivator in life. If you haven't read my article on rejections yet, I suggest you do. Finally, a company called Bloomsbury Publishing wants to publish the Harry Potter series. So this is where the name Joanne Rawlings becomes JK Rawlings. Because they thought that people would not read a story written by a woman about a little boy while taking the book to the people. So here she decides to use the serious name of J.K.Rowling. This is a well-known fact that many people know. However, it is mentioned here that her grandmother's name, Catherine, is spelled with the letter K. Anyway, in the end, she becomes the richest and most famous writer in the world under the name of J.K.Rowling.


So it is through many such challenges that she gets the opportunity to publish that book. So this series is very popular in England. Also, she will receive the first award in 05 months after publishing the book. So she decides to publish this series not only in England but also in other countries of the world. Because she had a talent to bring what she was selling to the people in a very clever way. Believe it or not, American publishing houses have bid to publish this book. Finally, it is published by an organization called Scholastic Press. After that, J.K.Rowling's life became the turning point. Because after that, JK Rowling's life changes completely. She starts getting millions of dollars in income and she gets a very big international recognition and fame. In 1990, according to the New York Times, the best selling book was the third book in the Harry Potter series.


With this popularity, J.K.Rowling got a request from many cinema companies that we should make this as a movie. But JK Rowling did not like it at first. But one day Warner Bros. asked if we should make a movie using this series. JK Rowling loved it. Only then did we get to see the Harry Potter series as a movie inside a screen. We see and see only the success of J.K.Rowling. But how many sacrifices has she made to achieve that success? How many obstacles will she face? How many rejections did you face? Think about it... If you want to be successful or win life, you have to pay a certain amount for it. That money is the sacrifices you make, the challenges you have to face, the persistence in the face of rejection, and things like not giving up. You will have to sleep for two or three days and work for the dream you see. But one day you will be happy with yourself and tell the world about your success. The challenges, obstacles and rejections you faced will give a beautiful meaning to your story like J.K.Rowling's story. So believe in yourself and love what you do and success will find you.
