bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - CLOSED: What is an S.O.B.?

An SOB is simply a Student of Bonsai, nothing more, nothing less.

A teachers qualifications are important but the student will not automatically become good because of the teacher. It directly correlates with the ability of the student, the attention given, the talent they have, and the intelligence to use what they have learned. Just because someone has taken a few classes with a master does not make them a master, in fact, there are some who could study a lifetime with a master and still never be able to produce the same quality of work.

If you want to impress people, don't drop your teachers name, instead show the results of studying with that teacher, then when people ask...do your teacher the honor of mentioning his/her name.
