“林来疯”席卷NBA。如今，这种现象似乎扩大到了全世界。不过，除了篮球之外，这段传奇还蕴含着更多的东西。林书豪的传奇之所以大受追捧，是因为在这个人的奋斗和如今的成功当中，我们都能看到一点自己的影子。我们大家能从这个年轻人身上学到什么？如何能把同样的经验应用于自己的生活？ 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.
没人相信你，你也要相信自己。林书豪只是第四位打入NBA的哈佛毕业生。他也只是极少数打入NBA的亚裔美国人之一。今年加盟尼克斯队之前，林书豪曾被两支其他NBA球队弃用。
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.
机会降临，就要抓住。尼克斯队之所以让林书豪打上首发，实属无奈之举。但是他很好地利用了这个机会。在生活中，你从不知道机会何时会降临。他们常常在你最意想不到的时候出现。要充分利用把握他们。不要错失良机。
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.
你的家人始终会支持你，所以你也要支持他们。他的家人一直都相信他，在他可能一蹶不振的时候帮他振作起来。这使他坚守自己的信念。如果你希望家人同样对你有信心，那么当他们需要的时候，你也要支持他们。
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.
寻找适合你风格的体系。林书豪不是迈克尔 乔丹（Michael Jordan）或者科比 布莱恩特（Kobe Bryant）。他不是单纯的得分手。他是传球手和分球手——但也能很好的得分。你要尽力弄清自己的优势，然后确保你所处的体系（职位组织或者行业）适合发挥这些长处。
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.
不要忽视今天你的团队里可能存在的人才。你现在可能负责管理企业内部的人员。你确定自己身边不存在林书豪这样的人才吗？我们把周围的人分门别类，你对身边的人才做过多少臆断？当你在观察世界的时候，请摘下你的有色眼镜。
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.
人们喜欢你是因为你独具特色，而不是因为你试图仿效他人。你必须保持自我，你不能成为迈克尔·乔丹的二流翻版。就做林书豪——做你自己。这不意味着你不需要努力——只是意味着你应该找到自己擅长的，然后坚持下去。朱迪·加兰(Judy Garland)此言妙矣：“永远做一流版本的自己，不做二流版本的别人
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.
保持谦逊。如果有一天，你飞黄腾达，报纸媒体为了增加销量而希望将你放在头版，不要让荣誉冲昏了头脑。即使现在所有媒体都疯狂追逐林书豪，他依然保持谦逊，这很不寻常。这使得队友和球迷更加喜爱他。
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.
如果你让身边的其他人出彩，他们会永远热爱你。看到泰森·钱德勒（Tyson Chandler）和林书豪一起打球之前，我不知道钱德勒有多出色。林书豪通过吸引防守后的传球，为钱德勒创造了很多轻松灌篮的机会。这也是尼克斯队成绩这么好的原因之一。他们更加努力地与队友分享球权。这是非常令人赏心悦目的。当媒体簇拥在身边时，林书豪告诉他们自己的队友是多么的优秀。涉及你的同伴和报道时，你也要这么做。
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.
切莫忘记生活中运气或命运的重要性。有些人相信上帝，有些人相信命运，有些人相信运气。不管你信什么，都要为此心怀感激。
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。如果林多年来没有拼命完善自己的球技，他就不可能抓住这个机会。勤奋无捷径可走。成功只是努力工作的副产品。早起晚睡。林书豪没有不劳而获。你为什么就该不劳而获？你只能把握你所拥有的东西，这意味着你应该比身边的人更加努力。
