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.

人们喜欢你是因为你保持自我，而不是模仿他人。你应该保持自我，而不是做迈克尔·乔丹的二流复制品。世上不可能有另外一个迈克尔·乔丹。只需要做林书豪——你自己。不管那是什么。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。球迷们会因为你保持自我而爱上你，就像他们喜欢林书豪一样。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 (谦逊) Lin remains through all this media frenzy (疯狂).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。值得注意的是，即使现在所有媒体都疯狂追逐林书豪，他依然保持谦逊。这会让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.Lin has set Chandler up many times over the last week for easy dunks (灌篮) 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 (簇拥) Lin，he tells them how good his teammates are.Do the same with your peers and reports.

如果你能给身边的人也添光加彩，那么他们将一直喜欢你。我此前并不清楚泰森·钱德勒（Tyson Chandler）有多优秀，直到看到他和林书豪一起打球。在上周，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。在对待自己的同僚和报告时，请予以参照。

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，请保持感恩的心。

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。如果过去这么多年林书豪没有努力训练，从而完善自己的技术，他就不可能抓住这个机会。努力工作是没有捷径可走的。成功只是努力工作的副产品。如果你有一个虎妈（Tiger Mom），天天督促你努力工作，这就非常好。如果没有，那请让你的自觉成为你自己的虎妈！早点起床，晚点睡觉。林书豪没有任何免费入场券。何况你呢？你只能控制你所控制的东西，这意味着你应该比身边的人更加努力。
