Without so many years of practice and good skills, he will not be able to grasp this opportunity. There is no short cut of hard work and success is just by-product of hard work. If you have a tiger mother or a wolf father who can warn you to work hard, you are lucky. If not, please let your conscientiousness to supervise you to get up early and go to bed late. Jeremy Lin does not have any free pass, let alone you. You can only control what is in your control. It means you have to work harder than people around you.
If not, how can you be successful? Jeremy Lin’s success does not only stem from his painstaking endeavor, but his strong psychological quality towards prejudice and distress. This quality is not ever showing weakness nor crying, but still sticking to oneself after failures and keeping trying by persistence, even though you cannot see whether the end of the road is heaven or hell.
There is a well-known saying in NBA that white man can also fly. At the beginning black man with strong athletic ability laughed at white man that they could not fly, but walked on earth. Later a white player called Barry repeated the miraculous movement that only Michael Jordan and Dr.J did—takeoff from free throw line. When he accomplished this movement, he took off his jacket and there is a word printed on his T-shirt: white man can also fly. It shows the spirit of breaking prejudice and proving himself. Compared with white man, the stereotype of Asian in American is smart and good at learning, but not at sports, especially highly confrontational professional league like NBA league. Thus, Asian are not offered with many opportunities. If Yao Ming has proved himself in NBA, then Jeremy Lin’s success shows again that with deep love for basketball, plus strong will, anyone can fight on the basketball court and chase success in any field.
If you are not confined by any prejudice or established rules, you can take your own road by your endeavor. Flying like Jeremy Lin is not a reachless illusion any more, but a goal guiding you to go on. Your distance between the goal is never going to be greater than that of Jeremy’s indifferent treatment and the center of the court. Jeremy Lin is a inspiration. If he can make it, why cannot you?
Making New York crazy overnight
Linsanity Roaring across the Horizon
Not everyone can make such miraculous performance like Jeremy Lin did when they just enter a group. In fact, most people are not able to reach his level throughout their life, but we can learn something useful from his experience. On Tuesday, December 27th, 2011. New York Knicks in NBA was as busy as usual. The regular season was going to start soon. The shooting guard Iman Shumpert got hurt and was on injury list unfortunately. If that were not enough, the old leader in steals Baron Davis was stricken with illness, too. Two guards were injured and it influenced the preparation of regular season of Knicks a lot. With only two healthy guards left and in need of a bench player to be backup guard, the next day Knicks signed obscure ethnic Chinese Jeremy Lin in a low price, who was just laid off by Houston Rockets. At that, obscure Jeremy Lin, Linsanity for today went to New York. At that time, Knicks had no alternative but to do that; and now it seems the boss of Knicks James. Doran caught a big pie falling from the sky.
ESPN in New York released the news of Jeremy Lin’s signing at 9:48 that night: Knicks Claim Guard Jeremy Lin. It was mentioned that the chief coach of Nicks D'Antoni said when it came to the new member that if someone in the team have a cold, then Jeremy Lin will get many opportunities to play. If not, I’ll tell you then. It was such an ironic joke for a new comer because he was arranged to await orders at the water dispenser before he got the chance to show himself. However, Jeremy Lin said nothing because he knew no matter what he said, he could not touch the chief coach. What can change fate is what you do, not what you say. As it is easier said than done, we have to set our feet on ground and not just talk big. Excellent performance will change others’ view towards us. The chief coach’s words made players and fans more convinced that this new yellow guy was just a small potato. Though Jeremy’s agent Roger Montgomerie told the journalist of ESPN that Jeremy Lin was waiting for a chance to show himself to others, it was not taken seriously as it was a commonplace in the sporting world. Therefore, it someone predicted that this small potato would have phenomenal performance after two months, people would take it as a cold joke because everything following had no symptoms.
Jeremy Lin did not attract any attention when he first came to New York. His performance was uninspired at first, which was in accordance with his role of bench player. The poor boy suffered in his third team the same as the previous two, with no opportunity and trust from others and big pressure in front of him. In face of these difficulties, as a young man of just over 20 years old, he did not show any discontent or complaint, but practiced hard and waited for opportunity and good luck. After about ten days, Jeremy Lin was degraded to Erie Bay Hawks by the chief coach because of an unsatisfactory performance in a practice. He had experienced that before. Thus he was calm and regarded it as an incentive to return to Knicks and gain his own position.
When you are frustrated, you may hold your breath and break through. In face of the shame of being degraded by his team, Jeremy Lin did not give up himself. He deeply knew that if he took things as they were, he would never realize his dream. He believed strength and perseverance would bring him good luck one day and as long as he did not surrender, he would not lose. There is an old saying in China that one prospers in worries and hardships, and perishes in ease and comfort. This ethnic Chinese youth has such good quality in his genes.
In every walk of life how many youths have given up their dreams and wasted their life because of bad influence outside world? Jeremy Lin does not want to repeat other’s failure. His dream is rooted in his mind since his childhood and he will never give in.
Everything comes to him who waits. Things took a favorable turn soon. In Januarary 20th, 2012, the third day when he came to Erie Bay Hawks, he represented his team for the first time and had a surprising performance. In the game against Maine Red Claws, Jeremy Lin broke out, so as to gain 28 scores, 11 rebounds and 12 assists. Thanks to his excellent performance, Erie Bay Hawks easily beat Maine Red Claws. The chief coach watched the videotape, saw what he really could do and gave orders immediately: recall Jeremy Lin!
After experiencing short frustration, he came back to Knicks in a good mood. But after rejoining the excellent team, he became the most mediocre one again. Though his sweat poured down from his face on the court, his performance did not arouse the chief coach’s attention. On the playground, he valued every second on the stage and showed his ability as much as possible. However, his time was so little that before he was warmed up, he was replaced by others and that made him not give full play to himself. Even so, the fans never saw any complaint on his face.
If not, how can you be successful? Jeremy Lin’s success does not only stem from his painstaking endeavor, but his strong psychological quality towards prejudice and distress. This quality is not ever showing weakness nor crying, but still sticking to oneself after failures and keeping trying by persistence, even though you cannot see whether the end of the road is heaven or hell.
