Power Hungry. Hot Streak. And all that jazz. You’ll probably have no idea what those things mean unless you’re an avid player of Minion Rush. A very good one that is.

One thing games like these teach us is that anyone can achieve if they try hard enough.

In this episode of Be a Leader, James is encouraged by Hyma and Emily to work hard to achieve a new high score. To inspire him, Emily shares a little story concerning the ever-cool Jeremy Lin who excelled academically and played really good basketball, but had to face many challenges as well as to prove himself time and time again simply because he was smaller than your average basketball player.

Who would have thought that Lin became a successful story, teaching us how perseverance pays off all the years of tears and effort invested into doing what we love to do.
