Hi Walter,
But I did bonsai for serious during that time. I considered myslelf an artist. Most of my trees that are world famous now were started in that period.>
First a question : do you have children ? I ask you this because this is important for me. When we decided we wanted to have children we promised ourselves that they would come first no matter what. That means that you cannot spend as much time on hobbies etcetera as you would like. When I come home after work they want my attention. That's their right. Same goes for the weekends. On the average I can spend maybe about 1 hour a day on bonsai. Sometimes less, sometimes more. About 1/2 hour of that is spend on watering. When it's repotting time or I want to dig up a tree I reserve some more time for it.
Walter, I'm NOT complaining ! This is a choice I have made in live.
I'm perfectly happy the way it is. Like I said I don't HAVE to be the best at everything ! On the other hand that doesn't mean I'm not taking bonsai serious ! I try to achieve the maximum with the time I have available.
< Many of those had lots of time after their retirement and what did they achieve? Nothing worth mentioning.>
That's true. The strange thing is, and I've seen this happen all around me, that people with lots of time achieve nothing at all, whereas people that are very busy seem to always be able to find time to do something extra.
Walter, This is nothing personal. I'm a big admirer of your work, but we seem to have a different opinion here.
regards, René
