Joanne Rowling, best known as J.K. Rowling, was born on July 31, 1965, in Yate, England. She adopted her pen name, J.K., incorporating her grandmother's name, Kathleen, for the latter initial (Rowling does not have a middle name).

As a single mother living in Edinburgh, Scotland, Rowling became an international literary sensation in 1999, when the first three installments of her Harry Potter children's book series took over the top three slots of The New York Times best-seller list after achieving similar success in her native United Kingdom. The phenomenal response to Rowling's books culminated in July 2000, when the fourth volume in the series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, became the fastest-selling book in history.As a single mother living in Edinburgh, Scotland, Rowling became an international literary sensation in 1999, when the first three installments of her Harry Potter children's book series took over the top three slots of The New York Times best-seller list after achieving similar success in her native United Kingdom. The phenomenal response to Rowling's books culminated in July 2000, when the fourth volume in the series, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, became the fastest-selling book in history.

By the summer of 2000, the first three Harry Potter books, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban earned approximately $480 million in three years, with over 35 million copies in print in 35 languages. In July 2000, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire saw a first printing of 5.3 million copies and advance orders of over 1.8 million. After a postponed release date, the fifth installment, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, hit bookstores in June 2003. The sixth installment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, sold 6.9 million copies in the United States in its first 24 hours, the biggest opening in publishing history. Prior to its July 2007 release, the seventh and final installment in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was the largest ever pre-ordered book at Barnes & Noble and Borders bookstores, and at Amazon.com.

Rowling, now Britain's 13th wealthiest woman—wealthier than even the Queen—does not plan to write any more books in the series, but has not entirely ruled out the possibility  she decided to suicide at the age of thirty.

Think of a person standing in front of you with a bent back and neck.Not maintaining an eye contact with you.What impression will you get from him/her.Of course,not a good impression.Always keep your back and neck straight and maintain eye contact with the person  you are talking to.Keep a SMILE on your face.And always walk straight.It will give you a feeling of confidence in yourself.

2.Know Yourself:-
Knowing yourself means that you should know what are your weaknesses and what are your strengths.After recognizing your weakness find the sollution for them and start working on them.

3."I Am Confident":-
‌You are unaware from the power of your subconscious mind.Your subconscious mind is the key to your
‌success.Start saying yourself that "I Am A Confident Person",I Am A Confident Person","I Am A Confident Person"!! And within some days you will be able to recognize the change in yourself.Try to say this when you are very tired or when going to sleep simply means when you are feeling sleepy.And it Will Work.

4."What if":-
If you are a shy person then of course most of the time  you think about "what he/she 'll say if I do this or what will she/he'll think about me?"Don't .Never ever do this.Remember no one actually  think about you everytime.It is difficult in the starting but you must have heard that"PRACTICE makes a man PERFECT..!!"Forget about what  anyone will say.For example,if you are a student and your teaches asks some questions in the class and You know  the ans. But rather than giving the ans. you
are thinking that what if I am wrong?"This is the main problem forget this "what if",even if you aren't sure for your answer then also say it.So Forget the "what if" if you want to be a confident person.

5.Be prepared:-
Of course,overcoming shyness means to be confident in front of others and how will you be confident if you aren't prepared.For example,If your boss asks something about your work and you are just speaking ummm..yaa.. Actually..NO, you don't have to do this.Simply, it means that you aren't prepared and thus, you will behave like a less confident person.

6.Forget about others:-
Don't think about anyone.Ya, just think like that everyone who comes in front of you is your friend.At first,you'll feel awkward but in some time, you will feel the change in yourself.Just think about everyone is your close friend and act according to like that. Try it,It will surely help you in overcoming your shyness.

7.Mirror Dear:-
Just don't forget that your mirror is always there to help you.Go in front of a mirror And talk with it. Share your ideas and informations with it .Pretend like you are actually speaking to a person.If you have an important meeting with someone then without forgetting,speak to the mirror like you are talking to that  person.You can do it 2 or 3 times but it will surely help when you will do it for five times.It will help you to be confident in front of that person.Remember your dear friend mirror is always there for you.

8.Interact,Interact and Interact:-
No,just forget that without interacting with people you will overcome your shyness..And, first talk with your near and dear ones then to others.Try to be a part of social gatherings.Try to speak to more and more people.C'mon atleast you should try, rest leave on GOD..!!😇
