Jeremy Lin...A week ago he was practically a "nobody" on the Knicks roster and now he has energized his NY City teammates and also his career with his outstanding performances this week. The past 7 days has been crazy for the Harvard economics grad and he deserves every second of this attention he is getting and decides to share it with the rest of his team.
Why am I writing about this? It's simple...this man was given an opportunity and he completely capitalized on it. Without a doubt he was shooting in the gym prob a lot more then Kobe, sacrificed a lot more then we know and wasn't afraid to do what he had to do to make his dream work.He was sleeping on his brothers couch in LES, New York City playing for the Knicks prob making just enough to get by and now that he ain't going to be cut he is looking to make $613,567 minimum...not bad for a couch surfer. He just beat Kobe/Lakers and recorded a career high 38 points and responsible for the Knicks 4 games won this week...wow.
I just wanted to put this out there that an opportunity to achieve your dream could come at any moment...its up to you to be ready for it. You also have to struggle, sacrifice and push yourself pass the limits you have for yourself, break them and go even further. Finally...when you get to your shot...you better put all that down and realize that this may be the one and only shot you may have. It's a scary thought but if you want to live your dream...especially one that isn't a typical route people take...you will have to fight to hold that dream as long as you possibly can. Being an underdog, underestimated and under-appreciated will give you fuel to push past the negatives to positives.
Jeremy Lin...WITHOUT A DOUBT...is an inspiration to all who are chasing a dream...period!
