6.People will love you for being an o-riginal,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.

人們喜歡你是因為你保持自我，而不是模仿他人。你應該保持自我，而不是做邁克爾·喬丹的二流復制品。世上不可能有另外一個邁克爾·喬丹。只需要做林書豪——你自己。不管那是什么。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。球迷們會因為你保持自我而愛上你，就像他們喜歡林書豪一樣。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 (謙遜) Lin remains through all this media frenzy (瘋狂).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。值得注意的是，即使現在所有媒體都瘋狂追逐林書豪，他依然保持謙遜。這會讓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.Lin has set Chandler up many times over the last week for easy dunks (灌籃) 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 (簇擁) Lin，he tells them how good his teammates are.Do the same with your peers and reports.

如果你能給身邊的人也添光加彩，那么他們將一直喜歡你。我此前并不清楚泰森·錢德勒（Tyson Chandler）有多優秀，直到看到他和林書豪一起打球。在上周，林書豪通過吸引防守后的傳球，為錢德勒創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秀。在對待自己的同僚和報告時，請予以參照。

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.

不要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，請保持感恩的心。

10.Work hard.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.

努力工作。如果過去這么多年林書豪沒有努力訓練，從而完善自己的技術，他就不可能抓住這個機會。努力工作是沒有捷徑可走的。成功只是努力工作的副產品。如果你有一個虎媽（Tiger Mom），天天督促你努力工作，這就非常好。如果沒有，那請讓你的自覺成為你自己的虎媽！早點起床，晚點睡覺。林書豪沒有任何免費入場券。何況你呢？你只能控制你所控制的東西，這意味著你應該比身邊的人更加努力。
