Dear Joanne,
I’ve never met you and you don’t know me, yet you have made a lot
of difference in my life. I hope that you are doing well. Many a times the
people whom we meet make an impact on our lives, but you made an impact without
even actually being there in my life. So this letter is just to let you know
about it.
of difference in my life. I hope that you are doing well. Many a times the
people whom we meet make an impact on our lives, but you made an impact without
even actually being there in my life. So this letter is just to let you know
about it.
It all started when I was a 10 year old. I watched the first Harry
Potter movie. I am sorry that I never knew about the books till then. But that
movie led me to discover the books. I couldn’t buy them as those were really
difficult times for me at home. I burrowed them from my friends and I slowly
read all of them. Once I picked up a book, I couldn’t stop. I was mesmerized by
Harry’s world- Hogwarts, the spells and potions, Quidditch, the mystical
creatures, Platform 9 3/4th . But most importantly I was in awe of
the characters that you had created. Harry’s bravery, Hermione’s wit, Ron’s
loyalty, Snape’s true love, each of them taught me a lesson I’d never forget. I
always marvel your attention for detail. It is amazing how you created a
different world just by the power of your words. Gradually I started reading
more about you.

at all, in which case you have failed by default.”

I quote your own words, words that inspired
me. When I first started reading your books, I was going through difficult
times. I’d never realized that you had been through a lot of hardships before
your books saw the light of day. All that time I was just cribbing about the
problems I had and I never saw the opportunities that those problems gave me,
the lessons that they taught me. You taught me about the power of imagination
and the power of words when combined is wonderful. And that inspired me to
write.

I may never be as great a writer as you are.
But you helped me start. Your life and your books taught me lessons that are
essential. Thank you for being such an awesome author and for the impact that
you have on my life.

Thank you for writing this. Rowling has made such an impact on my life with the world of Harry Potter. It makes me feel safe when I went back and re read the entire series couple of months back. She is pure genius!
Same here, the impact that she had on my life was immense.

WOW! You won my heart by writing a letter to JK Rowling!
There's a quote by her that is my life motto: "I would like to be remembered as someone who did the best she could with the talent she had." It captures the essence of being your best so well!
And yes, I too saw the movies before I read the books. I just re-read the entire series for the tenth time this March during Board exams. And I learnt so many new things, even after knowing the dialogues and plot and characters at the back of my hand!
She's truly a great personality. And her tweets are terrific. Specially when she counters weird questions by fans!
Great going, Reema <3
Awww.. Mithila! Thank you 🙂 And 10th time? Are you serious! Amazing.
I'm so happy that you wrote this letter. She is simply awesome! I hope she reads this. 🙂

You are following a weight maintenance plan for several weeks now, making awesome changes in your body and suddenly you have stopped seeing any progress despite your continued efforts. Your biggest fear has become true; you've reached the dreaded weight loss plateau. It is the time when nothing works, no matter what you do.

Imagine, if she had given up after any one of her 12 rejection letters, we would never have been introduced to Harry Potter! Love her spirit and her books.
Cheers!

Exactly! That is the spirit each one of us must have. 🙂
This is one lady we all Potterheads are ardently in eternal debt of! I remember reading the Goblet of Fire first somehow and then being so floored by it, I went scrambling to search for the earlier parts and devoured them day-in-day-out! Yes we have much to be thankful to Rowling!

Glad to know that. 🙂
I watched the movie first too. And then I happened to get the order of phoenix.I read the first few chapters and it did not make sense. After a few days I re read those chapters again and the never stopped. I then started reading the other parts. Brilliant post. That reminds me of my wish to be gifted by the bookset 😛
Initially it doesn't make sense especially if don't start from the first book. Gifted the bookset huh? Nice gift me one 😛
Excellent post — She has certainly made all our lives different than what they wouldve been– Even i was gifted the 1-4 Bookset @ 11-12Years of Age —
I for one would never have become an avid reader without the Potter_Books — N i simply cannot imagine my life today without being able to enjoy the pleasures of Reading..

Although the primary focus of the SoftwareKey System is Electronic License Activation and Management, we have many happy customers also leveraging the capabilities of our integrated eCommerce system. Online furniture businesses, for example, have failed for the most part because customers want to test the comfort of an expensive item such as a sofa before they purchase it. Many people also consider shopping a social experience. Ecommerce Platforms is a review site that shows the good, great, bad, and ugly of online store building software. If you have less than a hundred products, then Wix will do just fine. If you have any questions about the best ways to sell digital goods online, let us know in the comments section below. Users of Drupal Commerce can easily customize their workflows, which makes this option ideal for marketers who don’t necessarily have a great deal of expertise working in the backend of ecommerce platforms. Your customers benefit too: they see real-time inventory availability in the web store and can access the information around the clock without having to call or email.
Keeping these trends and changing requirements of the modern ecommerce business in mind, I have identified the 5 best ecommerce platforms that are likely to serve a range of entrepreneurs (from individuals to established merchants) most effectively in 2017. Individuals and used book stores can sell their products through the website. Through ecommerce, organizations can easily calculate and evaluate sales effectiveness, customer effectiveness, marketing campaigns, product mix, customer engagement and more. M-commerce is enabling people to engage in e-commerce activities quickly, conveniently, and from any location. Give your customers a consistent and meaningful experience – across every channel, every time. E-commerce and m-commerce require the use of electronic payment systems.http://7figurecyclediscount.com/
I just want to say a really big thank you to Platinum for all your help, I was lost in the mire with my trading and was on the verge of giving up, until a friend of mine mentioned Platinum and how they had transformed their trading, so I decided to give it one last shot and I’m so glad that I did, the training and level of education are something that I cannot speak highly enough about, my understanding of how the markets really work has come on ten fold and my trading has improved so much in such a short space of time.
That’s a skill many swing traders take time to get used to. Many traders think that swing trading is all about trading with the trend, this is not the case. The foreign exchange market is the “place” where currencies are traded. This is done on a lower timeframe in order to pick off quick, accurate, and profitable trades. Traders are less numerous, but well paid. For all trend following Trading Systems the is basically choose the best currency pairs in trend. The professional trader Russ Horn has lately been focusing on his new system.
Zone Trader is an investment in yourself and your trading education. Trade virtual money first: If you insist on taking a short cut and go for geared forex trading, at least start with simulated trading. Dear Trader If for some weird reason at any time within the next 60 days you are not fully satisfied with the Forex Enigma, I will refund your order in FULL because I want you to feel safe. Or better, these systems trades and the human watches it do this for a long times (5-10 years). However, the popularity of currency trading has reached a notch higher of late courtesy the advent of Forex apps.

The final stage of any marketing planning process is to establish targets (or standards) so that progress can be monitored. Accordingly, it is important to put both quantities and timescales into the marketing objectives (for example, to capture 20 percent by value of the market within two years) and into the corresponding strategies. Marketers must be ready to update and adapt marketing plans at any time. The marketing plan should define how progress towards objectives will be measured. Managers typically use budgets, schedules and marketing metrics for monitoring and evaluating results. With budget, they can compare planned expenditures with actual expenditures for given period. Schedules allow management to see when tasks were supposed to be completed and when they actually were. Marketing metrics tracks actual outcomes of marketing programs to see whether the company is moving forward towards its objectives (P. Kotler, K.L. Keller).http://www.parallelprofitreview.com/
