Simplicity - Jeremy Lin
Motto:
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
Leonardo da Vinci
Sunday afternoon, 6pm, German time. If you would go through each home you will soon find out that most of the people are watching the sports news, it a tradition, something which belongs to Saturday and Sunday afternoon. For sure football is THE news, but more and more they show flashes from other sports. Today they had a feature on Jeremy Lin, one of the few Asian American professional basketball player in NBA (and the first American player in the league to be of Chinese or Taiwanese descent) and what amazed me is the fact that he has studied at Harvard. I found this on Youtube - really cool, what do you think?
Jeremy Lin is a normal guy, very simple, very true to himself. He knows what he wants and his calm approach brings respect to those who watch him.
“I know a lot of people say I'm "deceptively athletic" and "deceptively quick," and I'm not sure what’s deceptive. But it could be the fact that I’m Asian-American. But I think that’s fine. It's something that I embrace, and it gives me a chip on my shoulder. But I'm very proud to be Asian-American and I love it.”
Jeremy Lin, during 2012 All-Star Weekend interview
Richard Bach once said “The simplest things are often the truest.” and that applies to Jeremy Lin 100%! From his last game as part of the Knicks team against Mavericks, some shots:
You might wonder why do I care about basketball and NBA? Well I must confess, a long long time ago (like 20 years or so ago) I used to play basketball, was not brilliant but brought me a lot of pleasure. I still remember how I felt after a nice match, fulfilled, happy, with the feeling of achieving something special. In life the simplest events are the fullest, and I thank Jeremy Lin's feature for this reminder!
