I’m sure some of you have been following the amazing story of Jeremy Lin. An undrafted point guard out of Harvard, this young guy was not given the chance to play when he was signed a year deal with the golden state warriors last season. The warriors didn’t extend his contract and he was also cut from two NBA teams prior to the start of this season. The new york knicks took a chance on him because one of the managers recognized him. He was buried on the bench and was the 4th string point guard. However, injuries to the team and a desperate attempt to shake up the offense by the coach gave Lin the opportunity to play some minutes and help the team. He’s now a worldwide star, having led the Knicks to 4 straight victories averaging 20+ points along the way and torching the Lakers for 38 last night.
The moral of the story is, keep working hard, be prepared for anything, and eventually, you will reap the fruits of your labor. He didn’t give up no matter what happened, HE KEPT AT IT against immeasurable odds and didn’t let failure put him down. He continued to work harder than anyone else and when the time came to, he was ready for it.
If this young guy can do it, so can you. The CPA certification will ours as long as we keep working hard.
