On Connections - Jo Rowling - Harvard Commencement Speech (Thu 05 Jun 2008)

Jo and Tokyo Students [1] - Gold Palace / Kyoto (Sat 15 Sep 2012)

In her 2008 Harvard Commencement Speech (*), Jo Rowling (*) quotes an Anceint Greek Historian and Writer by the of Plutarch (*):
What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.
where she expands:
That is an astonishing statement and yet proven a thousand times every day of our lives.

It expresses, in part, our inescapable connection with the outside world, the fact that we touch other people's lives simply by existing.
[1] The students had just finished asking Joanne a number of questions for a school assignment testing their English. They were very nice to us and put smiles on our faces.
