Just Lin, Baby! 10 Lessons Jeremy Lin Can Teach Us Before We Go To Work Monday Morning
就是林書豪!週一上班前林書豪可以教我們的十個課題
Lin-sanity has swept up the NBA over the last week. Now it seems like the phenomenon has gone worldwide.
上周林書豪風潮橫掃NBA，現在他的影響似乎已遍及全球。
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.
哈佛畢業生林書豪上周五在紐約尼克對上洛杉磯湖人比賽中贏得３８分，也是他做為ＮＢＡ新人帶領尼克對連獲四場勝利的球賽中表現最好的一場。
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.
他現在擁有超過200,000名推特粉絲，超過
8 00,000名Weibo粉絲，其中的200,000 名粉絲是在尼克與湖人對戰後一天內加入他的粉絲行列。
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.
這裡面蘊含著比籃球賽更多的訊息。這也不僅僅是當代真人版的Hoosiers（註一），林書豪的故事出乎意料的受關注是因為我們在他的奮鬥和成功中，看到一絲絲自己的影子。
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?
我們能從這個年輕人身上學到些什麼－－又該如何在週一早晨回到工作崗位時工作時把這些課題應用在我們生活中呢？
1. Believe in yourself when no one else does.Lin’s only the 3rd 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.
1. 當沒人相信你時，更要相信自己。林書豪是ＮＢＡ裡面僅有的３個哈佛畢業生之一，他也是屈指可數擠身ＮＢＡ的亞裔美國人之一。三週前他被尼克隊下放到位於Erie，PA的Ｄ聯盟隊伍。另外，今年在他加入尼克隊之前稍早一段時間他已經被其他兩個ＮＢＡ球隊釋出。當沒人相信你時，更要相信自己。
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.
2.抓緊機會 在尼克隊需要林書豪時，他必須立刻行動。尼克隊傷兵太多：Baron Davis不在了，另一個得分後衛也不在了，Carmelo Anthony日前受傷，Amare Stoudemire因為親人過世而暫時不在。林書豪若是浪費的這次機會，我們或許永遠也不會注意到他，但他把握住機會而且在球場上做了最佳表現。沒有人知道機會什麼時候會出現在生命中，通常機會總是在不被預期時出現。這時請好好利用機會做最佳表現，別浪費了機會。
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.
3. 家人總是會支持你，所以你也要支持著你的家人 一直到幾天前林書豪才獲得尼克隊本季保障合約，於此之前，他隨時可能被裁掉。由於這個不確定性，他沒有租屋，而是必須寄居他哥哥位於紐約下城東區（Lower East Side）公寓的沙發。他的家人總是相信他並在他可能重重跌跤前拉他一把，這使他能繼續相信自己。若你想讓自己的家人也這般相信你，你必須也在家人需要時支持他們。
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. 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.
4. 找到適合自己的一套 林書豪不是 Michael Jordan 也不是Kobe Bryant，他不只可以得分，他是一個能助攻也能得分的球員。之前他待過的隊伍：金州勇士隊和休士頓火箭隊並不適合他。尼克隊教練Mike D’Antoni的戰術讓他絕佳地表現自己的長處。你必須盡一切所能了解自己的強項，並確保你工作的機關能讓這些強項好好發揮，否則人們會忽視你展現的潛能。
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.
5. 別輕忽你身邊團隊擁有的潛能 今天或許你的工作之一是管理自家經營公司的員工，你確定此刻你周遭沒有一個像林書豪這樣的潛力股嗎？你怎麼知道若你交託＂ Mike ＂全新企畫，他能不能有令人驚豔的表現？你怎麼知道＂Sarah＂不是你跟同事們正在尋覓的倫敦新職缺最佳人選呢？我們把周遭的人分類：他來自哈佛，他是亞裔美國人，不確定他球打得如何。你對身邊其他人的天賦做了多少預設立場？別像休士頓火箭隊跟金州勇士隊的經理們一樣，讓天才從指縫溜走。儘管財力雄厚，球探雲集，測驗完備，這些經理人對自己手下球員的了解十分有限。你知道你的員工（或你自己）真的對什麼在行嗎？去掉你看這個世界的那些預設立場吧。
6. 人們愛的是你原本的模樣，而不是你模仿其他人的樣子 你必須做自己，你無法成為第二個Michael Jordan，而且永遠也不會有第二個Michael Jordan出現。對林書豪來說就是做林書豪--而不論你是誰，你也要做你自己。這不代表你從此不需努力，只是要找出你擅長的並且好好做。人們愛你是因為你做自己，就像林書豪的粉絲之所愛他一樣。

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.
7.保持謙虛 若有天報紙想以你做頭條新聞已增加銷售量，千萬別因此得了大頭症。林書豪在經歷媒體狂熱關注同時始終保持謙虛態度令人欽佩，這也使得他的隊友跟粉絲更加喜愛他。

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 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.
8. 當你使周遭的人有好表現，他們會永遠愛你 我從不知道Tyson Chandler的球打得有多好，直到他和林書豪一同出賽，林書豪在上週的比賽中多次做球讓Tyson Chandler扣籃，因為他要負責防守跟運球。這也是尼克隊打得這麼好的部分原因，球員們都更努力跟彼此分享進球機會，這樣的比賽真的很值得一看，當媒體對林書豪蜂擁而上，林書豪說著他的隊員們有多好。你也同樣這樣對待同儕吧。
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.
9. 從不遺忘生命中幸運與命運的重要性 有些人相信上帝，有些相信命運，有些相信幸運。感激你所信仰的事物。

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.
10. 努力不懈 林書豪若非經歷多年瘋狂地自我鍛鍊是不可能抓住這些機會，困難的工作從來沒有捷徑。成功指是努力過程中的附加產物。若你有個總是督促你認真工作的虎媽，那很好。如果沒有，就讓你的良心扮演你的虎媽角色！晚睡早起，從來沒有人讓林書豪白白獲得成就，為什麼你會有特殊待遇？你只能控制你有掌控權的，也就是說你必須比你認識的任何人都更加努力。

I hope the Lin-sanity continues. And I hope we all can apply these lessons to our own work and family life.
我希望林書豪狂熱可以一直持續下去，我也希望我們都能把從他身上學到的課題應用到自己的工作和家庭生活中。
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:
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:
紐約時報一篇關於林書豪和他的信仰的文章有一句話說得很好，值得我們牢記在心：“suffering produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us.”
＂痛苦磨難創造一個人的特質，特質製造希望，而希望從不令我們失望。＂
