A story of a woman named J. K. Rowling catches the attention of many people. Her journey began with a dream of becoming a writer. However, she would have to persist(坚持)for many years before her dream came true.
Almost as soon as she decided to get to work on putting her ideas down on paper for her book, she was stopped by her mother's death, which later left Rowling seeking a job as a teacher in another country. It was not long before things got worse for Rowling. She just became jobless with a child, getting by on unemployment benefits. Despite the difficulties, Rowling persisted in the creation of her book. And she did so by catching every spare moment she could while her child slept to write. Finally the day came when she completed her manuscript(手稿).
However, the challenges didn't end there. Even after Rowling finished her manuscript, challenges still remained. Twelve different publishing houses refused her novel, and she found herself almost ready to quit before her manuscript would eventually get accepted. And it was at that moment that J. K. Rowling's luck turned around.
Today, J. K. Rowling is one of the best-selling authors of all time. In fact, she is the highest paid novelist in the world, with her books having been translated into over 80 different languages and with over 500 million being sold.
"Rowling's story serves as a reminder. When meeting some struggles and refusals along my way to success, I would keep my feet on the ground, keep my eyes on the target, and keep moving towards it. Finally, I believe success will be just around the corner," one of Rowling's fans said.
