And while it was probably given to you in the context of a sandbox, or during a Transformers debate (because while everyone longs to be Optimus Prime, they yearn to rule the world with the cold hand of Megatron), it translates directly into the role of a musician, especially when it comes time to play with musicians you've never met or played with before, or when you walk into a situation that you've never been in. And that ability to "play nice with others" will provide invaluable as your musical palette expands.
