Jeremy Lin, a once unknown NBA player, has rushed into the front pages of newspapers in the United States and other countries around the world. Some people think that he became famous overnight.

In real life, it is almost impossible to become famous overnight. This Harvard graduate, with his wisdom, goes far beyond the classroom and books to play basketball. But the most important reason for his success is not how smart he is, but how hard he works.

Practice makes perfect. It takes time for a football player to become excellent, whether in the weightlifting room or in the football field. A bodybuilder should not only go to the gym for fitness, but also make a detailed diet and sleep plan. So, you can imagine how hard Jeremy Lin worked.

Compared with other NBA players, he is neither tall nor strong. But his passing, dunking and three-pointer skills are excellent. How did he acquire these basketball skills? He practices these skills on the basketball court almost every day. Then, he led the team to a seven-game winning streak. He proved that he can play basketball, although he is not very strong and tall. His efforts finally paid off.
