分类: 流金岁月

仿佛一夜之间,全世界已经无人不识林书豪,这个哈佛小子已经成为NBA球场上最星光熠熠的明星。年少时经历的偏见,申请大学时的坎坷,好不容易进入NBA之后的几经易主,冷板凳上的沮丧和懊恼,当机会来临时却是勃发而起,一飞冲天,他的成长是一个典型的美国梦,他的精神也是典型的American Spirit。过去的一周里,几乎所有的重要媒体都在夸赞林书豪,一夜成名的神奇哈佛小子林书豪。

今天看到《福布斯》上的一篇文章,“周一上班前看林书豪教你的十课”,写得风趣有条理,仔细读下来,字字珠玑句句中肯,这哪里只是周一上班前需要学的十课,这明摆着是人这一生需要学习的十课!把它简略的翻译过来,大家一起共勉哈。

1. Believe in yourself when no one else does.比任何人都相信你自己

哈佛的历史上林是第四个打入NBA,他也是NBA球场上屈指可数的亚裔运动员。在进尼克斯队之前,他已经被两个NBA球队解约,运动生涯一片渺茫。可是要相信自己,比任何人都相信你自己。


2. Seize the opportunity when it comes up.机会来临时一定要紧紧抓住

林在纽约尼克斯队其实在上周之前也是一直坐冷板凳的,几乎没有出场的机会。结果上周由于球队很多伤员,还有人告假,林被临时派上场,结果他紧紧的抓住了这个机会,发挥的淋漓尽致!


3. Your family will always be there for you, so be there for them.你的家人会一直在那儿支持你,所以你也要为你的家人而存在。

林书豪在纽约尼克斯队这半年一直寄居在他哥哥家的沙发上,他的一路走来都是父母和家人的支持。如果你想要你的家人相信你支持你,你也要为你的家人而努力。


4. Find the system that works for your style.寻找适合你的体系。

林曾经被两个NBA球队解约,最后找到了适合自己的纽约尼克斯队。你要尽最大努力找到自己的长处和适合你发挥长处的体系。


5. Don’t overlook talent that might exist around you today on your team.不要低看你周围的有才华的人

每个人都有属于自己的特殊的天分,林前面的两个球队或许正是缺少了慧眼识英雄的能力,和天才人物失之交臂。


6. People will love you for being an original, not trying to be someone else.要做你自己,而不是去学做其他人。


7. Stay humble.谦虚

看过林书豪的采访就会知道,林是一个非常谦卑的人,难怪他的队友和粉丝都如此的热爱他。


8. When you make others around you look good, they will love you forever.让你周围的人有机会有成绩,他们会喜欢你回报你。

林在球场上常常为自己的队友创造机会,每次采访都会夸奖自己的队友,这样的人常常会有同样的回报。


9. Never forget about the importance of luck or fate in life.不要忘记运气也是成功的一部分。

林是一个虔诚的基督徒,他一直非常的感恩神的引领和帮助。我们不一定要是基督徒,可是我们要记得感恩生命中曾经帮助过你的人。


10. Work your butt off.最重要的一点,努力,再努力!

没有他甘于寂寞的不懈的努力,林书豪是不可能有今天这一步的。如果你有虎妈来推你,那是最好不过的事了,如果没有,那你就做你自己的虎妈吧。早起晚睡,努力,再努力!

Just Lin, Baby! 10 Lessons Jeremy Lin Can Teach Us Before We Go To Work Monday Morning


Lin-sanity has swept up the NBA over the last week.  Now it seems like the phenomenon has gone worldwide.

Friday’s 38 point performance by Harvard grad Jeremy Lin for the New York Knicks against the LA Lakers was his greatest performance yet as a starter, since he burst on to the scene and propelled the team to 4 straight wins.

Lin now has over 200,000 followers on Twitter.  He’s got over 800,000 on Weibo – including 200,000 new ones in the 24 hour period after beating the Lakers.

But there’s more to this story than basketball.  This isn’t just a modern-day, real-life version of the Hoosiers movie.  The Jeremy Lin story is incredibly popular because we can all see a little bit of ourselves in this man’s struggles and now successes.

What can all of us learn from this young man — and how can we apply these same lessons to our own lives when we go back to work on Monday morning?

1. Believe in yourself when no one else does. Lin’s only the 4th graduate from Harvard to make it to the NBA.  He’s also one of only a handful of Asian-Americans to make it. He was sent by the Knicks to play for their D-League team 3 weeks ago in Erie, PA.  He’d already been cut by two other NBA teams before joining the Knicks this year.  You’ve got to believe in yourself, even when no one else does.

2. Seize the opportunity when it comes up. Lin got to start for the Knicks because they had to start him.  They had too many injuries.  Baron Davis was gone.  The other point guards were out.  Carmelo Anthony was injured.  Amare Stoudemire had to leave the team because of a family death.  Lin could have squandered the opportunity and we would have never have noticed.  But he made the most of it.  You never know when opportunities are going to arise in life.  Often, they’re when you least expect them.  Make the most of them. Don’t fritter them away.

3. Your family will always be there for you, so be there for them. It wasn’t until a few days ago that Lin got his contract guaranteed by the Knicks for the rest of the season.  Before that, he could have been cut at any time.  He had to sleep on his brother’s couch on the Lower East Side to get by.  His family always believed in him and picked him up when he could have gotten down on himself.  That made him continue to believe.  If you want your family to believe in you like that, you’ve got to be there for them too when they need it.

4. Find the system that works for your style. Lin isn’t Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant.  He’s not a pure scorer.  He’s a passer and distributor – who can also score very well.  It didn’t work for him in Golden State or Houston – where he was before landing at the Knicks.  But Mike D’Antoni’s system at the Knicks has been perfect for him to show off his strengths.  You’ve got to do your best to understand what your strengths are and then ensure that you’re in a system (a job or organization or industry) that is a good fit for those strengths.  Otherwise, people overlook the talents you bring to the table.

5. Don’t overlook talent that might exist around you today on your team. You probably manage people at your own company today.  Are you sure you don’t have a Jeremy Lin living among you now?  How do you know that “Mike” couldn’t do amazing things if you gave him a new project to run with?  How do you know “Sarah” isn’t the right person to take the open job in London that you’ve been talking over with your colleagues?  We put people around us in boxes.  He’s from Harvard.  He’s Asian-American.  Not sure he can play.  How many assumptions have you made about talent around you?  Don’t be like the General Managers in Golden State and Houston, and let talent slip through your fingers.  With all their money, scouts, and testing, they didn’t have a clue what they had in their hands.  Do you know what your people (or even yourself) is really capable of?  Take off the blinders of assumptions you wear when you look at the world.

6. People will love you for being an original, not trying to be someone else. You’ve got to be you.  You can’t be some 2nd rate copy of Michael Jordan.  There will never be another Michael Jordan.  Just be Jeremy Lin — yourself.  Whatever that is.  That doesn’t mean you don’t work hard — it just means you find what you’re good at and do it.  Fans will love you for being you, just like they love Jeremy Lin.  Judy Garland said it best:

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

7. Stay humble. If you one day are lucky enough to have newspapers want to put you on the cover in order to sell more, don’t let it get to your head.  It’s been remarkable watching how humble Lin remains through all this media frenzy.  It makes his teammates and fans love him that much more.

8. When you make others around you look good, they will love you forever. I didn’t know how good Tyson Chandler was, until I saw him playing with Jeremy Lin.  Lin has set Chandler up many times over the last week for easy dunks because he drew the defense and then passed the ball.  That’s partly why the Knicks are playing so well.  They are all working harder to share the ball with others.  And it’s beautiful to watch.  And when the media swarms Lin, he tells them how good his teammates are.  Do the same with your peers and reports.

9. Never forget about the importance of luck or fate in life. Some people believe in God, some in destiny, some in luck.  Whatever you believe in, be grateful for it.

10. Work your butt off. Lin couldn’t have seized his opportunity if he hadn’t worked like crazy for years perfecting his skills.  There are no short cuts to hard work.  Success is a by product of that.  If you’ve got a Tiger Mom who’s always pushed you to work hard, great.  If not, let your conscience be your own Tiger Mom!  Get up early, stay up late.  Nobody gave Lin any free passes. Why should you get any?  You can only control what you control and that means you’ve got to work harder than anyone else you know.

I hope the Lin-sanity continues.  And I hope we all can apply these lessons to our own work and family life.

There’s a great line from a New York Times article on Lin and his faith which is worth it for all of us to remember (from Romans 5:3-5):

suffering produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us.
