So after twelve years, I stood in front of you, I've won two NBA championships, and I played in great teams there, and I make my dreams come true. I think my story, the most wonderful part is to tell you that is not what I woke up one night I went to the NBA arena, not the case. I have every small step along the way, until today's success, I was squeezed off, someone said I was not good enough, some people say I will never succeed, when my success in basketball, people always want to call me a basketball star, but for my own words in addition to basketball there are a lot of things.
I am very lucky that my parents are very emphasis on my education, but I have some friends and teachers, they will say: "Sean, you do not need to be a good student, as long as you play good basketball on the line . "I say," No, I do not like this, I want to be a good student because I like to learn, like reading, I like to learn new things. "the entire four years of high school in my time, my grades only got a B, the other is A.
I remember when I was little also played football, was a great stadium, should be a similar tournament game, and still fresh. I was 12 years old, I was very nervous, I was afraid that they will make mistakes, but when I run with the ball always side kick, how far are running, you know my face is about sixty thousand spectators, I can not Faced with such a scene, I am sad to cry, but at least I tried, I tried, though I might fail, I fail in the harvest, may be greater than the gain from the success of the.
In fact, I played good baseball, my dad was my baseball coach, he told me that when you are in a team, whether it is baseball or basketball team or a club or a family, and if you have a good players, have a good team spirit. You do not need them in the game is the fastest, jump the highest, or most prospective bidders, in order to be a good team player, you just need time to participate in daily practice. Not only for yourself, but for your teammates, your family who you want as your father and mother, your sisters, your brothers, when they need to be able to, along with them, you will be filled with enthusiasm and passion to accomplish this. I feel like this is very important to be successful, a lot of people always want to be a shining star.
They want to be James, Kobe Bryant wants to be, but I want to tell you, in a basketball team in the school community, in your orchestra, in a family which, in fact, no so-called superstars, each people have their own roles. For James, the basketball court is concerned, he was going to throw the ball the highest score, get thirty. His work is very important, equally important is for him to have a teammate to give him the ball to help him to support his work, and can not say that this role is secondary. Because a win for the team, that role is crucial. Some people would say that looking for a strong leafy harder than finding a superstar, no so-called superstars, or that everyone is a superstar, you have to let yourself become valuable, which allows you to become a valuable team one, in this place today, the reason is because I am a very strong green leaves. Green leaves are my teammates, my team leaves, green leaves my organization, I am ready, I believe in myself, even though I suspect everyone crowding me, I will be ready for the opportunity, this could be your life's you want to learn the most important lesson.
My coach is one of the best the United States, he called Krzyzewski, he once said: "You'd better be ready the next game of the match, as on the basketball court, there are a lot of things will happen, for example, In the course of your dribble, suddenly what was tripped shoes, everyone laughing at you, so many TV stations in the country live your site for all to see, then, how would you do it? you you sit there crying, would say I was too ashamed tripped, everyone laughing at me? No, certainly not like this. then how should you do it? you just stand up and continue to the next race, the next a game is the most important. "I certainly want to be the next game in the tournament, which is a very important mode of thinking. If we are able to form such a mode of thinking, make you a lifetime, you will always be able to continue to lay a game. Seize the next opportunity, and the realization of the next target. When we have to have passion and enthusiasm to face the challenges before, and if you have been so insistent, you will definitely succeed, I'm sure you will succeed.
