You
don't need to create a mobile app, a software, an online business, sing, act or
do these things to be rich and successful. There are better opportunities. 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.
