I find horses have the same effect, in that you have to put your ego aside and concentrate on making the horse do the things you want it to do, and move in the way you want it to move. So you have to use your body to help this horse do incredibly difficult movements that don't come naturally to it. And if something goes wrong, it's not the horse's fault; it's always your fault. So you have to be quite levelheaded. And then the whole nature aspect of it is very calming.

But did I get any more work done than people like Frank O'Hara, who were always going to parties? Probably not.

I couldnโt sleep - couldnโt concentrate. It just got crazy.

You really had to listen to his arrangements and the way he would play them. On his solos, you'd really have to listen good in there. You'd have to concentrate on what you were doing as well.

And that has a direct effect on their performance in school.

Sidney CrosbyStrengths are not activities you're good at, they're activities that strengthen you.
