For anyone trying to "make it" in their career, I found this to be a great quote:
PK = Perseverance King
In 2005, a few days before his sixteenth birthday, P.K. was drafted by the Belleville Bulls, of the Ontario Hockey League, one of Canada’s “major junior” conferences. It was a bittersweet occasion, not only because it meant that he’d be leaving home, to “billet” with a local Belleville family, but also because he hadn’t been selected until the sixth round—an afterthought. He was no longer big for his age. In fact, the rap on him now was that he was too small, and maybe too flashy, for a defenseman. His sisters cried. For the Bulls, he chose to wear No. 6, as a reminder of the slight. He became the most offensively prolific defenseman in Belleville history, and achieved redemption two years later, when he was drafted, this time in the second round, by his dad’s beloved Canadiens.
