ARE U FACING ONLY FAILURES? DID YOU LOSE CONFIDENCE? DON't WORRY YOU WILL WIN :-)

READ THIS POOR GIRL STORY AND KNOW HOW SHE IS NOW

=> She was very poor even not able to get toys for her son
=> She decided to entertain her son through stories
=> She tried to write books and The book was handed to twelve publishing houses, all of which rejected it
=> The decision to take Her book on was apparently largely due to Alice Newton, the eight- year-old daughter of the company’s chairman, who was given the first chapter to review by her father, and immediately demanded the next
=> After being thrown many times, her books at last won the most best books of the world

You know who is SHE?

Writer of FAMOUS HARRY POTTER

Joanne “Jo” Rowling, OBE (born July 31, 1965[1]) is an English fiction writer who writes under the pen name J. K. Rowling.Rowling is most famously known as the author of the Harry Potter fantasy series, which has gained international attention, won multiple awards, and sold over 300 million copies worldwide.In February 2004, Forbes magazine estimated her fortune at £576 million (just over US$1 billion), making her the first person to become a US-dollar billionaire by writing books.

In December 1999, the third Harry Potter novel, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, won the Smarties Prize, making Rowling the first person to win the award three times running.She later withdrew the fourth Harry Potter novel from contention to allow other books a fair chance. In January 2000, Prisoner of Azkaban won the inaugural Whitbread Children’s Book of the Year award, though it narrowly lost the Book of the Year prize to Seamus Heaney’s translation of Beowulf.That June, the Queen honoured Rowling by making her an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.

To date, six of the seven volumes of the Harry Potter series, one for each of Harry’s school years, have already been published and all have broken sales records. The last three volumes in the series have been the fastest-selling books in history, grossing more in their opening 24-hours than blockbuster films. Book six of her series earned The Guinness World Records Award for being the fastest selling book ever. The sixth book of the series sold more copies in 24-hours than The Da Vinci Code sold in a year. (The Da Vinci Code was the best-selling book of the previous year.)

Rowling is currently writing the seventh and final book of the series. Its title is currently unknown. On June 26, 2006, Rowling revealed that in the final book of the Harry Potter series at least two characters will die, one of whom may be Harry himself.Author Stephen King asked Rowling not to kill off Harry in book seven during a press conference, but Rowling remained ambiguous regarding Harry’s fate.
