Show Description: J.K. Rowling recently gave the commencement speech at Harvard University. She left them with two thoughts: the secret to life is failure and imagination. And you can't have one with out the other. It got me thinking how the modern parent pushes their children to never fail. We don't teach kids (or ourselves) how to fail. Join the conversation as we look at some of our biggest failures and the immense depth they brought to our lives.
All links below should open in another window (if you allow pop-ups)

It may not be about right or left but about right and wrong; but that doesn't mean we don't vote!
