Success is often measured by the ability to overcome

　　adversity.But，it is often the belief of others that gives us the

　　courage to try.

　　J．K.Rowling，author of the Harry Potter book series，began writing at the age of 6.In her biography，she remembers

　　with great fondness when her good friend Sean，whom she met

　　in secondary school，became the first person to encourage her

　　and help build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer.

　　“He was the first person with whom I really discussed my

　　serious ambition to be a writer.He was also the only person

　　who thought I was bound to be a success at it，which meant

　　much more to me than I ever told him at the time.”

　　Despite

　　many

　　setbacks，Rowling

　　persevered

　　in

　　her writing，particularly fantasy stories.But it wasn’t until 1990 that she first conceived the idea about Harry Potter.As she recalls，it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into her head.“To my immense frustration (沮丧)，I didn’t have a functioning pen with me，and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one.I think，now，that this was probably a good thing，because I simply sat and thought，for four (delayed train) hours，and all the details bubbled up in my brain，and this scrawny，black­haired，bespectacled (戴眼镜的) boy who didn’t know he was a wizard became more and more real to me.”
