Jeremy Shu -How Lin is an NBA player on the New York Knicks. He is an Asian-American NBA rising star. He was born on August 23rd, 1988. He is 1.91meters tall. He weighs 91 kilos. He is also a graduate of Harvard University. Months ago, few people knew of him, but in February, 2012, Lin started to shine. He led his team to a series of (一系列)wins. He surprised everybody and quickly became famous in the sports world.
US Education Secretary Arne Duncan wrote an article about Lin for Time. He said Lin breaks lots of wrong ideas. One of them is that Asian Americans can’t play basketball well. Another is that you can’t be a great sports player and an excellent student at the same time.
Duncan also noted that Lin’s success was not an accident(偶然). He worked hard and stayed humble(谦虚的). He lives the right way. He plays the right way.
What makes Lin stand out from other players is his hard work and never-give-up spirit.

Once there was a piano player in a bar (酒吧). People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.
“I don’t sing,” said the man.
But the lady told the waiter, “I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!”
The waiter shouted across the room, “Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!”
So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!
He had talent(天赋) he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.
