“There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you” is a quote from J.K. Rowling's 2008 Harvard commencement speech. Text of J.K. Rowling’s speech - https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2008/06/text-of-j-k-rowling-speech/ * I would like to make it clear, in parenthesis, that I do not blame my parents for their point of view. There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you. What is more, I cannot criticise my parents for hoping that I would never experience poverty. {tags: People, Author}
