We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better. i love the below lines of JK the most -

I came across it on the internet when it was doing the rounds. I guess this seriously rivals Steve Jobs' Stanford Speech. Thanks for sharing. It is a brilliant speech.
