Lin-sanity
February 15th, 2012 Admin If you are from NY and haven’t heard about Linsanity you must be living under a rock. Obviously this is not a martial arts related post but its a story of perseverance that we can all learn from. Jeremy Lin, a 4th string point guard on the NY Knicks waited for his opportunity and never looked back becoming a star in NY. A humble, hardworking kid who was cut by numerous teams finally gets a chance to shine and makes the most of it. Very inspirational story, like my old friend Jay Hieron says HWPO= hard work pays off!
