In the Beijing outdoor training activities, there is an outdoor training project called orienteering. The coach will set up six different locations based on the venue situation of the training base for the trainees to find. When each point is successfully found, a small project must be completed. At this time, the outdoor training coach will announce the rules of the operation, then give everyone 15 minutes to operate, and when the time is up, the project officially begins. Usually during this process from finding the points to the start of the project, the coach often says to everyone that success can be replicated. No matter how difficult the project is, if it can be done during the trial, it should also be successfully completed when the project officially starts, it's just a process of replication.
In real life, many successful things can actually be replicated for our use. Everyone knows that Jeremy Lin's success is due to his solid skills and the combination of encountering the right opportunity. Although we cannot replicate Jeremy Lin's success, his seriousness and persistence are qualities that each of us can replicate. From this perspective, success can be replicated.
Before Jeremy Lin had the chance to showcase his talents, almost no one knew him. He was just a "temporary worker" moving between several teams, even without a fixed residence. When the opportunity came, Jeremy Lin utilized the skills he had acquired through hard work, proving his strength, and realizing his dream. When this moment shocked the whole world, Jeremy Lin was still the same person, his simplicity could handle the wave of success, such success is worth people replicating. Unlike some successful individuals who later change and are lamented by people.
Some say that Jeremy Lin's success owes more to being an American. Indeed, his Chinese is not fluent, his thinking is Americanized, and even his personal experiences of being unrecognized and discriminated against, seizing opportunities, and achieving great success, all too closely resemble the plots of traditional American heroism movies.
To a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets, but if we transcend nationality and ethnicity, put aside these external environment debates, and carefully explore Jeremy Lin's path to success, we will find that background or nationality are not the most important things. His success first benefits from his own efforts.
The glamour in front of people comes from the sweat behind the scenes. Proficient ball handling, accurate shooting, all come from extremely hard training. Even during the league shutdown when his job was uncertain, his training never stopped. And when he came to the mainland for events, what he asked about most was whether the training venue could be arranged, the conditions, and how far it was from the hotel... Talent is certainly important, but without subsequent diligence, everything naturally would be impossible to discuss.
An individual's growth has a lot to do with family. Jeremy Lin's success also benefits from the tolerance and enlightenment of his family. Unlike general parents, Jeremy Lin's parents supported his interests and allowed him to do what he loved most. It was precisely because of this space that when he encountered adversity, he rarely felt pressure from his family and relatives, allowing him to stick to his dreams.
Yes, there is also the dream. As he himself said, "No matter what you like, you have to work hard at it and do your best, it doesn't have to be just basketball. And you have to pursue your dreams, don't let others tell you what you can or cannot do." This is a very simple truth. Perhaps we cannot replicate Jeremy Lin's success, but his efforts and dreams are something everyone can replicate in outdoor training. This has nothing to do with a person's ability, but merely a kind of spiritual quality. If Jeremy Lin's ability to attract the attention of Chinese people is related to his identity, then the numerous non-Chinese who also admire him see the possibility of personal value realization in him. This is a simple emotion and value recognition that transcends nationality and ethnicity.
For today's China, Jeremy Lin's success is even more profound: it should not only be a celebration in the basketball world, but more so a mirror for the education sector and even the whole society - how to let young people grow up more freely and happily, and how to let them stick to their dreams and achieve a place in society through their own efforts, this is the question our era should ponder.
Jeremy Lin's growth experience is like that of most people; since childhood, he liked basketball, carried dreams, trained hard, and kept learning. In this process, his confidence was strong, and facing doubts from others was a reality. But the belief of successful people is not swayed by objective factors, as long as we have dreams in our hearts.
When facing employment, Jeremy Lin still did not have a stable starting place, caught in a drifting environment, but none of this ever shook his determination to realize his dreams. Hard work pays off, and finally, this moment came. Jeremy Lin thus brought his well-prepared mind, seized the opportunity when it came, and his dream was finally realized. People around the world applauded and cheered for him, all witnessed this moment. Jeremy Lin's successful experience is incredibly inspiring to us, I want to shout out loud, success can be replicated. Let us all take Jeremy Lin as a benchmark and strive to realize our own dreams!
