If it is gold, it will always shine —— My opinion on Jeremy Lin's phenomenon
If you ask who is the hottest player in the NBA today? The answer is undoubtedly Chinese American player Jeremy Lin. In less than a week, after only playing five games, he changed from a little-known marginal man who was almost laid off to the head of today's team, Hua Dan, which attracted the attention of basketball fans all over the world and appeared on the cover of Time magazine.
It's gold, it shines forever! Jeremy Lin once again explained this famous saying to us with his own practical actions. After more than a year in the NBA, Jeremy Lin's gold medal finally shines in the United States and the world. Therefore, Jeremy Lin has also become another powerful proof of "grassroots heroes". However, when we rejoice at the birth of a new "hero", we should pay attention to his perseverance in the usual annihilation. If you have never been a bench player, when you look up to your teammates sweating and galloping on the court, you won't feel lonely sitting under the stage; If you have been a bench player, or have experienced loneliness off the court, but you can't make a hundred times of efforts off the court, then this won't change the status quo. Jeremy Lin succeeded, but what we didn't see behind his success was his efforts to change the status quo. Therefore, it can be said that Jeremy Lin's success stems from the embodiment of real strength, and to a greater extent from his unremitting efforts.
Jeremy Lin is called a piece of gold, not only because he is an excellent athlete, but also because he is a graduate of Harvard University. As one of the most famous institutions of higher learning in the world, Harvard University has trained eight presidents for the United States, only three of whom became NBA players after graduating from Harvard University. Therefore, some people joked that it is more difficult to become an NBA player from Harvard University than to be elected President of the United States. However, Jeremy Lin did it. After successfully obtaining a degree in economics from Harvard University, he became the first Harvard graduate to enter the NBA after 57 years. Because of my love of basketball, I even wanted to give up my studies when I was studying, but I persisted in the end. Now he proves to the world with his own practical actions that he is also an excellent Harvard graduate. This also proves the importance of learning. Only through hard work and real study can we fundamentally improve our cultural literacy and spiritual connotation, know how to use our brains and have higher tactical literacy.
Compared with strength, opportunity is equally important. It is not so much the absence of major players that makes Jeremy Lin today's glory, but rather that Jeremy Lin successfully seized the opportunity. Of course, this success is backed by Jeremy Lin's strong strength. In real life, many people often complain that their chances are not as good as others. In my personal opinion, the root cause is nothing more than their own lack of ability. If you swap roles with Jeremy Lin at this moment, can you seize the opportunity and show your skills in the face of the lack of star players in the team? Or: if you are as good as him, of course! This means I don't have that ability yet. So even if different people face the same opportunity, the situation is different, which leads to the saying that "opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared" Big waves wash sand and start to see gold. After grinding into needles and dropping stones, it is an opportunity for those who are fully prepared.
It's gold, it shines forever! But first you must be a piece of gold. Now, Jeremy Lin has set his own scoring record again and again in the NBA and expressed his glory step by step. However, at this moment, facing the blind pursuit of the media, we should rationally analyze the root causes of this phenomenon. Believe that you can't see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, and believe that as long as it is gold, it will shine one day!
Bole was entrusted by the King of Chu to buy a fine horse that traveled thousands of miles every day. Bole has traveled to several countries, even Zhao Yan, which is famous for its famous horses, has searched carefully, and it has been difficult to find a good horse. On the way back from the state of Qi, Bole saw a horse pulling a salt cart and struggling along a steep slope. This horse is tired and it is difficult to take every step. Bole has always been very close to horses and can't help walking up to him. When the horse saw Bole approaching, it suddenly raised its head, widened its eyes and screamed loudly, as if to tell Bole something. Bole immediately judged from his voice that this was a rare good horse. Bole said to the driver, "This horse gallops on the battlefield, and no other horse can match it, but it is not as good as an ordinary horse when it is used to pull a cart." You'd better sell it to me. "The driver thinks Bole is a big fool. He thought the horse was ordinary, had no strength to pull the cart, ate too much and was skinny, so he agreed without hesitation. Bole led the horse to the Chu Palace, patted the horse on the neck and said, "I found a good master for you." Like a swift horse, he understood the meaning of Bole, raised his front hoof and rattled, making his neck long, hissing and loud, like a stone pot of a big clock, reaching the sky. The king of Chu heard the neighing of horses and walked out of the palace. Bole pointed to the horse and said, "Your Majesty, I brought you a swift horse. Please watch carefully. "The king of Chu saw that Bole's horse was so thin that he thought Bole had fooled him and was a little unhappy. He said, "I believe you can look at the horse before buying it, but what kind of horse did you buy?" This horse is difficult to walk. Can it go to war? Bole said: "this is indeed a swift horse, but it looks very thin after being dragged for a long time and not carefully fed." As long as it is carefully fed, it will definitely restore physical strength within half a month. " The king of Chu was dubious and ordered the groom to try his best to feed the horse. Sure enough, the horse became thin and handsome. The king of Chu whipped his horse, only to feel that the wind was blowing around his ears and the time for breathing had already run out of a hundred miles away.
1879 March 14 A baby was born in a small town called Ulm in Germany. His parents gave him a promising name: Albert Einstein. Looking at his lovely appearance, his parents pinned all their hopes on him. However, it didn't take long for parents to be disappointed: other children began to learn to speak, and three-year-old Einstein only learned English by "babbling". Later, Einstein's sister Maga, two years younger than him, was able to talk to her neighbors. Einstein still faltered when he spoke, and his preface didn't match the latter ... Looking at Einstein, who was slow to move, her parents began to worry. They are worried that his intelligence will be less than that of ordinary people. It was not until 10 that his parents sent him to school. However, at school, Einstein was laughed at by teachers and classmates, and everyone called him a "stupid guy". The school requires students to attend classes according to military orders. Einstein was often reprimanded and punished by his teacher because of his slow response. A teacher even pointed at his nose and scolded, "This damn thing is so stupid that I can't keep up with any class!" "
In a craft class, the teacher picked out a badly made wooden stool from the students' works and said to everyone, "I think there may be no worse stool in the world!" " "In the roar of laughter, Einstein blushed and stood up and said," I think this kind of stool exists! " As he spoke, he took out two stools from his desk, and said, "I've done it twice before, and I'll give it to you for the third time. Although not good enough, it is much better than these two! " Einstein himself was surprised to say so many words in one breath. The teacher was even more dumbfounded, sitting there and not knowing what to say.
With irony and insult, Einstein grew up and entered the Louis Polder Middle School in Munich. In middle school, he fell in love with math classes, but he was not interested in other classes that were divorced from reality and life. Lonely, he began to look for sustenance in books and spiritual strength. In this way, Einstein met Archimedes, Newton, Descartes, Goethe and Mozart in the book ... Books and knowledge opened up a broader space for him. The field of vision was broadened, and Einstein had more problems to think about in his mind.
One day, he said to his uncle who often tutored him in mathematics, "If I run forward at the speed of light in a vacuum, can I see electromagnetic waves vibrating in space?" My uncle stared at him with strange eyes for a long time, with both approval and concern in his eyes. Because he knew Einstein's question was unusual and would cause unexpected shock. Since then, Einstein has been plagued by this problem. 1In the autumn of 895, Einstein decided to apply to the University of Zurich, Switzerland after careful consideration. However, he failed. He failed in foreign languages. After failing in the exam, he didn't get discouraged and took part in a middle school tutorial. A year later, he got a certificate of middle school tuition and was admitted to Zurich University of Technology. By this time, he was already preparing for his future. He devoted all his energy to extracurricular reading and laboratory. The professors were very dissatisfied and angry when they saw him reading books that had nothing to do with his studies and doing experiments that had nothing to do with his exam results. They think he has nothing to do.
When Einstein graduated from university, he was caught in the economic crisis. Because he is of Jewish descent, it doesn't matter, he has no money, so he has to be unemployed at home. In order to make a living, he had to post advertisements everywhere and earn 3 francs an hour by teaching physics. This period of unemployment helped Einstein a lot. In the process of teaching, he reflected on traditional physics, which contributed to his violent impact on traditional academic views. After five weeks of intense and exciting struggle, Einstein wrote a 9000-word paper on electrodynamics of moving objects, and the special theory of relativity was born. It can be said that this is a decisive great declaration in the history of physics and another milestone in physics.
Although there are still many people who object to this, and even some people publish critical articles in newspapers, Einstein has gained the attention of society and academia after all. In a short time, 15 universities awarded him a doctorate certificate, and famous universities in France, Germany, the United States, Poland and many other countries also wanted to hire him as a professor. Einstein, who was called a "fool" and a "fool" and thought that he could not become a talent, eventually became the most outstanding intellectual recognized by the whole world. From "Ugly Goose" to "White Swan", what does this mean?
I think Einstein's words are the best answer. When many young people pestered him to tell him the secret of success, he wrote a formula: A=x+y+z, and explained: "A stands for success, X stands for diligence, Y stands for correct method, and then Z stands for you to talk less." For many years, Einstein's magical success equation has been praised by people. From the course of Einstein's struggle, it is not difficult to see that it is diligence, correct methods and less empty talk that have turned Einstein from a clumsy brain into a giant.
It can be seen that it is not terrible that a person is not smart. The terrible thing is to vent his anger first. As long as you are willing to work hard for your goal and cooperate with the right method, you will be rewarded by the goddess of success. Many people who succeed in their careers may not be able to show their sharp edge in their childhood and adolescence. On the contrary, they are too ordinary, even dull and stupid, and are often laughed at and ridiculed by people around them. If you lose heart because you are stupid and stop working hard, isn't that killing your potential talents and abilities in the cradle?
In fact, everyone's talent is different, and everyone will find their own constellation in the long river of life. If you feel stupid, it's because you haven't found your own constellation yet. Just as Einstein was indifferent to other things, but he was particularly fond of physics and mathematics, when you find your own constellation, you will surely radiate extraordinary brilliance.
