Hi Al,

First of all, yes Bonsai is Just a hobby for me. Having said that; of course I want to create masterpiece bonsai, and of course I try to improve by looking at magazines and going to demonstrations ans shows. But I will most likely never create bonsai that are of the same level. Why ? That's simple : I have a family and I have a job. My family is the REAL important thing in my life. They are more important than all my hobbies, heck they are more important than ME. I have to work to support them, so my job is important too. That means that I can never spend enough time to become some sort of master in Bonsai. Is that a problem ? NO ! My goal in Bonsai is to enjoy it. I will make bonsai that are on my own level and I will enjoy them. I don't HAVE to be the best at everything. I have to prove myself on a daily basis while working and if I get home I want to relax. Bonsai does that for me ! It's absolutely wonderfull, but no competition.

regards, René
