Equestrian Art

Many years ago I met a prominent industrialist, who was said to hire exclusively former cavalry officers for positions of his top management. I asked him if it is truth. He confirmed that and added the reason why he considers time spent with horses so important condition. As per his opinion who learned to deal with horses learned to control himself first. And only the one who can control himself can manage others.

For the Horse

Do not conquer the world with force,
For force only causes resistance.
Thorns spring up when an army passes,
Years of misery follow a great victory.
Do only what needs to be done,
Without using violence.

- Lao Tzu

For the rider

A horse without a rider will still be a horse, but a rider without a horse will be only a man.
