Horses and Men

The grandkids’ riding instructor offers three rules for managing a horse:

1) Try to get inside the horse’s head;

2) Lots of petting; and

3) Stay out of their face.

Seems to me these should work pretty well for men, also.

Postscript: My friend Kenny started out as a kindergarten teacher, and then went onto some fairly gnarly management jobs. He said it was true that “all he ever knew he learned in kindergarten”—but that he learned it not as a student, but as a teacher.
