“林來瘋”席卷NBA。如今，這種現(xiàn)象似乎擴大到了全世界。不過，除了籃球之外，這段傳奇還蘊含著更多的東西。林書豪的傳奇之所以大受追捧，是因為在這個人的奮斗和如今的成功當中，我們都能看到一點自己的影子。我們大家能從這個年輕人身上學到什么？如何能把同樣的經(jīng)驗應用于自己的生活？ 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’d already been cut by two other NBA teams before joining the Knicks this year.
沒人相信你，你也要相信自己。林書豪只是第四位打入NBA的哈佛畢業(yè)生。他也只是極少數(shù)打入NBA的亞裔美國人之一。今年加盟尼克斯隊之前，林書豪曾被兩支其他NBA球隊棄用。
2. Seize the opportunity when it comes up. Lin got to start for the Knicks because they had to start him. Lin 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.
機會降臨，就要抓住。尼克斯隊之所以讓林書豪打上首發(fā)，實屬無奈之舉。但是他很好地利用了這個機會。在生活中，你從不知道機會何時會降臨。他們常常在你最意想不到的時候出現(xiàn)。要充分利用把握他們。不要錯失良機。
3. Your family will always be there for you, so be there for them. Lin's 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.
你的家人始終會支持你，所以你也要支持他們。他的家人一直都相信他，在他可能一蹶不振的時候幫他振作起來。這使他堅守自己的信念。如果你希望家人同樣對你有信心，那么當他們需要的時候，你也要支持他們。
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. 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.
尋找適合你風格的體系。林書豪不是邁克爾 喬丹（Michael Jordan）或者科比 布萊恩特（Kobe Bryant）。他不是單純的得分手。他是傳球手和分球手——但也能很好的得分。你要盡力弄清自己的優(yōu)勢，然后確保你所處的體系（職位組織或者行業(yè)）適合發(fā)揮這些長處。
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? We put people around us in boxes. How many assumptions have you made about talent around you? Take off the blinders of assumptions you wear when you look at the world.
不要忽視今天你的團隊里可能存在的人才。你現(xiàn)在可能負責管理企業(yè)內(nèi)部的人員。你確定自己身邊不存在林書豪這樣的人才嗎？我們把周圍的人分門別類，你對身邊的人才做過多少臆斷？當你在觀察世界的時候，請摘下你的有色眼鏡。
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. Just be Jeremy Lin — yourself. That doesn’t mean you don’t work hard — it just means you find what you’re good at and do it. Judy Garland said it best: Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
人們喜歡你是因為你獨具特色，而不是因為你試圖仿效他人。你必須保持自我，你不能成為邁克爾·喬丹的二流翻版。就做林書豪——做你自己。這不意味著你不需要努力——只是意味著你應該找到自己擅長的，然后堅持下去。朱迪·加蘭(Judy Garland)此言妙矣：“永遠做一流版本的自己，不做二流版本的別人
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.
保持謙遜。如果有一天，你飛黃騰達，報紙媒體為了增加銷量而希望將你放在頭版，不要讓榮譽沖昏了頭腦。即使現(xiàn)在所有媒體都瘋狂追逐林書豪，他依然保持謙遜，這很不尋常。這使得隊友和球迷更加喜愛他。
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. That’s partly why the Knicks are playing so well. when the media swarms Lin, he tells them how good his teammates are. Do the same with your peers and reports.
如果你讓身邊的其他人出彩，他們會永遠熱愛你。看到泰森·錢德勒（Tyson Chandler）和林書豪一起打球之前，我不知道錢德勒有多出色。林書豪通過吸引防守后的傳球，為錢德勒創(chuàng)造了很多輕松灌籃的機會。這也是尼克斯隊成績這么好的原因之一。他們更加努力地與隊友分享球權。這是非常令人賞心悅目的。當媒體簇擁在身邊時，林書豪告訴他們自己的隊友是多么的優(yōu)秀。涉及你的同伴和報道時，你也要這么做。
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.
切莫忘記生活中運氣或命運的重要性。有些人相信上帝，有些人相信命運，有些人相信運氣。不管你信什么，都要為此心懷感激。
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. 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.
努力工作。如果林多年來沒有拼命完善自己的球技，他就不可能抓住這個機會。勤奮無捷徑可走。成功只是努力工作的副產(chǎn)品。早起晚睡。林書豪沒有不勞而獲。你為什么就該不勞而獲？你只能把握你所擁有的東西，這意味著你應該比身邊的人更加努力。
