林来疯 - Linsanity!

一阵莫名的＂林来疯＂突然挂得很起劲，很少可以看见整个报摊的封面人物都是同一人！大家便开始追朔它的起源点，各大报章跟深层解剖它的过人之处！经过一连串的细读，才发现他确实有着一股耐人寻味的特点：

(i) 争取机会
很多时侯，人都会当局者迷！当机会来到身边还不自知，当机会走了却埋怨幸运之神没有眷顾自己，怀才不遇。。。如果他不是尽力的打好每一场球赛，争取出场的机会，就没有今天的＂林来疯＂了。

我想成功人士和平凡人的不同之处就是，成功人士都善于争取机会，乐于表现；而平凡人则善于批评与埋怨。

争取机会也需要智慧与勇气。要懂得评估它的利与弊，并不是没个机会的利多于弊；须知到有得必有失的道理！

(ii) 毅力
毅力是成功人士的必备条件，设想谁可以一帆风顺地到达目的地呢？人必须经过无数的挫折与失败，才可获得成功。可是又有多少人可以挨过这艰辛的过程呢？他也是不屈不挠的走到这里！要是他没坚持到底，就没有今天的＂林来疯＂了！

The Star 有一则有趣的＂毅力＂故事如下：
The discussion between the marble tiles on the floor of a museum with a huge marble statue illustrates this.
The tile says to the statue, “it's just not fair! Why does everybody from all over the world come here to step on me while admiring you? We were born from the same cave yet we receive different treatment.”
The statue replies, “Do you still remember the day when the designer tried to work on you, but you resisted his tools? You hated that guy because it hurt so badly. He couldn't work on you as you resisted. Then he gave up on you and started working on me instead. I did not resist his tools; instead I bore all the pain.”
The tile grudgingly shakes his head and the statue continues, “My friend, there is a price to everything. Since you decided to give up half way, you can't blame people who step on you now.”
Hard work and perseverance is a necessary step to greatness. Great leaders get up early, stay up late, work hard. Lin's favourite quote is “suffering produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us.” Nobody gave Lin a free ride to the NBA. Why should you get one?

＂林来疯＂真是一股让人深思，反省的旋风。。。
