A Great Read by bkbinthecity

A Great Read

I am currently involved in a 50 Day Gratitude Challenge. Today's Challenge was to name a book that you are grateful reading and what did it teach you.
I love reading and have so many books to choose from. My choice was Orr My Story by Bobby Orr.
Bobby Orr in my opinion was one of the greatest players in the NHL and certainly the greatest defenseman to play the game.
This book was not about what his career and accomplishments. Rather what I learned was what allowed him to succeed. I learned the importance of never giving up on your dreams and surrounding yourself with the right people to help you succeed. It also taught me how to overcome devastating challenges that a person may face in their life.
It is a great book and I highly recommend it
Sounds like a book you should read even if you don't follow NHL which I presume is League.

I remember Bobby Orr, he played for the Bruins as I remember it. I lived in Montreal in the 70s and I was a big hockey fan of the Canadians.

I'm not very familiar with american hockey but I've heard the name. It made me thind of Börje Salming who now suffers from ALS and isn't able to speak anymore.

Of course hockey isn't a much watched sport in my neck of the woods, but having a foot in Canada, I certainly am familiar with this man's name. It's often surprising the encouragement and life lessons we can pick up where we least expect them.
