Ladies and gentlemen：
Hello!
First of all I want to thank you very much host Sa Beining,thanks for inviting me to China column group,thank you for inviting me to participate in this program today,to share with you the story of my life.I want to share with you might not just about basketball,in fact,which can be applied to everyone's work and life.No matter what profession you choose,as long as you have a dream we must dedicate ourselves to chase,to find your dream to pursue it.
I grew up in Detroit,civilian family,my father,who was a few words,he is a businessman,my father told me a very important point,which I saw from him,my father taught me,every day To dream of every effort.That is,after he gets up every day to wear clothes,he would tell himself,whether you are sick or you feel tired,but he always best.
Many people think that one day I woke up to find themselves suddenly grow up to 2 m 05,I could have scored NBA is also very natural thing,but nobody recognizes become NBA players rely on the persistence and perseverance.In fact,I always rely on persistence and perseverance in the whole process only to make their dream of eventually entering the NBA.When I was 12 years old when my height is 1 m 8,was as thin as a pencil,does not want to be with a girl I was dating or kissing me because they think I looked funny.
One day I chat with small partners,and I told them that one day I will go to the NBA game,you guess what they react,they laughed at me,they laughed at my dream.They told me that Sean you too thin,and you run fast,jump high is not enough,you absolutely can not go to the NBA to play,you absolutely can not fulfill your dreams.As a 12-year-old boy I heard so I feel very sad because they do not recognize my dream.So at that time I think I saw most of my own thoughts.Every morning I got up and looked in the mirror,I asked myself:Sean,you are ready every day?Today you have to make every effort to get close to dream a little,too.
Brush your teeth in my sleep at night,I also looked in the mirror to ask myself,do not want to think yesterday,tomorrow,just think today I was not away from my dream,my goal from almost a little bit of it?Most of the time I can say yes.I have every day in practice continue to practice,I progress little by little,when I was fourteen years old,I would have been nearly two meters tall.After high school,I gradually began to succeed,then there is a basketball player named Chris Webber,he was the NBA's first draft,so I was a high school,when I was fourteen or so,five years old people around me told me that you can not always as good as Chris,because Chris is very strong,but also a great effort,but you run fast,jumping ability does not work,you will never be his.But I was a kid,have heard such things,then how do I do it?
I looked in the mirror said to myself,"You know,just your own ideas is the most important",so I'll continue to work hard.In my high school graduation,I want to prepare to go to college,and I've won three statewide winner,but I'm still the nation's high schools throughout the year inside a star team,I was the most high school students nationwide great basketball player.
I later decided to enter into an American academic and college basketball very well,and that is Duke University.You certainly can not think of when I apply for Duke,people say to me.They say:"Oh,Sean,you're a basketball playing well,but you're in college,you should not be so good,because you slower,jump is not high,and you are not strong enough,you basketball consciousness is not strong enough."These words are my twelve years old,fourteen,five years old when I heard.So how do I do that before,I was standing in the mirror,I asked myself,are you ready?
You go to those who question your proof that they are wrong,so I'll continue to struggle.After the end of my four years of college,I decided to join the NBA.I went to the NBA,people questioned again,they said Shawn your college is a good player,but you definitely can not be a good professional player,it is very surprising,very shocking it.And how I do it?I looked in the mirror told myself:Now is the time you continue to work hard.
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.
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.
I want to thank everyone arrived,we hope to be able to ask some very interesting questions,sharp gentle questions.Then I'm ready to answer your questions。
thank you very much,thank you!
女士們，先生們：
大家好!
首先我要非常感謝主持人撒貝寧,感謝欄目組邀請我到中國,也感謝你們邀請我參加今天這個節(jié)目,給大家分享一下我生命當(dāng)中的故事。我想給大家分享的可能不僅僅是關(guān)于籃球,其實可以運用到大家的工作和生活當(dāng)中。無論你從事何種職業(yè),只要有夢就要專心致志地去追,去尋找你的夢想去追求它。
我在密歇根底特律的平民家庭長大,我的父親是一個言語不多的人,他是個商人,我父親告訴過我很重要的一點,也是我從他身上看到的,父親教會我,每天都要為夢想竭盡全力。那就是每天他起床穿戴衣服之后,他會告訴他自己,無論你是生病了還是你覺得勞累了,但是他總會竭盡全力。
很多人認(rèn)為我是某天醒來發(fā)現(xiàn)自己突然長到2米05,我可以打進(jìn)NBA也是很自然的事兒,但沒有人認(rèn)識到成為NBA球員靠的是恒心和毅力。其實我在整個追夢的過程中都是靠恒心和毅力才使自己最終進(jìn)入NBA。當(dāng)我12歲的時候我身高是1米8,當(dāng)時就像鉛筆一樣的瘦,沒有一個女孩愿意跟我約會或者跟我接吻,因為她們覺得我長得很好笑。有天我跟小伙伴們聊天,我告訴他們說有一天我會到NBA賽場上去比賽,你們猜他們什么反應(yīng),他們嘲笑我,他們嘲笑我的夢想。
他們告訴我說,肖恩你太瘦了,而且你跑得不快,跳得也不夠高,你絕對不可能到NBA去打球的,你絕對不可能完成你的夢想。作為一個12歲小男孩我聽到這樣的話我覺得很傷心,因為他們不認(rèn)可我的夢想。那么當(dāng)時我覺得我最看中的是我自己的想法。每天早上我起來看著鏡子我問我自己:肖恩,你每天都準(zhǔn)備好了嗎?今天你要竭盡全力,去接近夢想,一點也好。
在我晚上睡覺刷牙的時候,我也是看著鏡子問我自己,不要想昨天也不要想明天,只想想今天我是不是離我的夢想,離我的目標(biāo)近了一點點呢?大部分的時候我都可以說是的。我每一天都在練習(xí)、不斷地練習(xí),我一點一點地進(jìn)步,當(dāng)我十四歲的時候,我就已經(jīng)有將近兩米高了。
我上高中后漸漸地開始成功,當(dāng)時有一個籃球運動員叫克里斯·韋伯,他當(dāng)時是NBA選秀的第一名,所以在我還是高一的時候,我十四、五歲左右我身邊的人都告訴我說,你永遠(yuǎn)沒辦法像克里斯那樣出色,因為克里斯很強(qiáng)壯,而且力氣也很大,但是你跑得不快,彈跳力也不行,你永遠(yuǎn)也不可能成為他。但是我小時候,已經(jīng)聽過這種話了,那么我怎么做呢?
我看著鏡子對自己說“你要知道,只有你自己的想法是最重要的”,所以我就不斷地去努力。在我高中畢業(yè)的時候,我要準(zhǔn)備去上大學(xué)了,我已經(jīng)贏了三個全州的冠軍,而且我還是那一年整個全美高中明星隊里面的一員,我是當(dāng)時全國高中生中最棒的籃球運動員。我后來就決定進(jìn)入到美國一個學(xué)術(shù)與籃球都很出色的大學(xué),那就是杜克大學(xué)。你們肯定想不到我在申請杜克時,人們對我說的話。
他們說:“哦,肖恩,你現(xiàn)在籃球打得很好,但你在大學(xué)的時候,應(yīng)該不會那么出色了,因為你速度比較慢,跳得也不高,而且你也不夠強(qiáng)壯,你的籃球意識也不夠強(qiáng)。”這些話都是我在十二歲的時候,在十四、五歲的時候也聽過。那么我怎么做呢,我也是站在鏡子前,我問我自己,你準(zhǔn)備好了嗎?你要去向那些質(zhì)疑你的人證明,證明他們是錯的,所以我就不斷地奮斗。在我四年的大學(xué)結(jié)束以后,我決定加入NBA。我到了NBA的時候,人們的質(zhì)疑又來了,他們說肖恩你大學(xué)的時候是很好的球員,但是你絕對不可能是一個優(yōu)秀的專業(yè)球員,很驚訝吧,很讓人震驚吧。而我是怎么做的呢?我對著鏡子告訴自己說:現(xiàn)在是你繼續(xù)努力的時候了。
那么十二年之后,我站在各位的面前,我已經(jīng)贏得了NBA的兩個總冠軍,而且我在非常棒的兩支球隊里面打過球,而且我讓我的夢想成真了。我覺得我的故事當(dāng)中,最美妙的一部分是告訴大家,并不是我一夜之間醒過來我就到了NBA的賽場,不是這樣的。我這一路上每一小步,直到今天的成功,我被排擠過,有人說我不夠優(yōu)秀,有人說我永遠(yuǎn)不會成功,當(dāng)我在籃球方面成功的時候,人們總是希望稱我為籃球明星,但是對于我自己的話除了籃球之外還有很多的東西。
我非常地幸運,我的父母都非常重視對我的教育,但是我有一些朋友和老師,他們會說:“肖恩,你不需要成為一個很好的學(xué)生,只要好好打你的籃球就行了。”我說不“不,我不要這樣子,我要成為一個很好的學(xué)生。因為我喜歡學(xué)習(xí),喜歡看書,我喜歡學(xué)習(xí)新的東西。”
在我整個四年的高中時間,我的成績只得到了一個B,其他的都是A。
我還記得,我小的時候還踢過足球,當(dāng)時有很大的一個球場,應(yīng)該是類似錦標(biāo)賽的一個比賽,現(xiàn)在仍然記憶猶新。當(dāng)時我12歲,我非常地緊張,我害怕自己會犯錯誤,但當(dāng)我?guī)蚺軙r總是踢偏,怎么都跑不遠(yuǎn),要知道我面對的是大概六萬的觀眾,我不能面對這樣的場面,我難過地哭了,但至少我努力過、我試過,雖然我可能失敗了,我從失敗中的收獲,可能比從成功中的收獲更大。
我的教練是美國最出色的之一,他叫麥克沙舍夫斯基,他曾經(jīng)這樣說道:“你最好準(zhǔn)備好下一場的比賽,因為在籃球場上,有很多事情會發(fā)生,比如你在運球的過程中,突然一下被鞋子絆倒了,每個人都在嘲笑你,那么多國家的電視臺都在直播你的現(xiàn)場,所有人都看到了,那你會怎么辦呢?你會坐那兒哭嗎,會說我被絆倒了太丟臉了,所有人都在嘲笑我?不,一定不要這樣子。
那你應(yīng)該怎么做呢?你只有站起來,繼續(xù)下一場的比賽,下一場的比賽是最重要的。”我一定要進(jìn)行下一場的比賽,這是非常重要的一種思維模式。如果我們能夠形成這樣的思維模式,會使你受益終生,你會一直能夠繼續(xù)打下一場的比賽。抓住下一次的機(jī)會,以及實現(xiàn)下一次的目標(biāo)。到時我們必須擁有面對之前那個挑戰(zhàn)時的激情和熱情,如果一直這樣堅持的話,你肯定會取得成功,我相信你肯定會取得成功。
我想要感謝大家到場,希望大家能夠問一些,非常有趣的問題,尖銳的溫柔的問題。然后我準(zhǔn)備好回答大家的問題。
非常感謝大家,謝謝!
