Among the most influential people in the world there are talented artists, reputable politicians, and outstanding thinkers. But among all these great people, Time's 100 Most Influential People in The World is leaded by a young athlete. Jeremy Lin is a 23 year-old Asian American basketball player, currently playing for the NY Knicks.While nobody expected it, Lin led his teams winning streak promoting him to the starting line-up. His popularity gave birth to culture "Linsanity". The Associated Press praised him by saying "the most surprising story in the NBA". Bloomberg News said that Jeremy "has already become the most famous [Asian American NBA player]". Jeremy Lin has been one of the few Asian basketball players to achieve such accomplishments. Lin has shown the world that no matter what your race is, there is no thing that a person can't because of people opposing you.

I've read some articles about Jeremy Lin and from what I have read he is pretty amazing. And also I totally agree with you about that there is nothing you can due. Everyone in the world can do whatever if they set their minds to it.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty amazing for Jeremy Lin to have made it top on Time's Most Influential People List. He has broken different kinds of stereotypes just with his talent. His passion has made him shine, and it is admirable, what he has accomplished.
ReplyDeleteAs someone said, the people who change the world is not the people who know everything. Jeremy Lin is a young basketball player and he might seem naive compared to the other 99 most influential people, but his talent and passion are valued more than any other's intelligence, money, or power.
