Hi everybody,
Being now on this forum for a couple of weeks, I can't help my self noticing that the individuals with the biggest application of theoretical knowledge, are the ones, with the least to show on their own tree examples. Rather they only criticising the shown trees, in a form that sometimes does not lead to actually make changes, because the tips, on how to change are mostly not being discussed or given specifically enough.
Those that leave the comments almost in any post, notice that this and that is not right, but the way to give a detailed description of doing the improvement and leading by example of the same by showing their trees, is spare in details, or mostly missing.
" there are outsiders of this forum ", that noticed this, I being honest and discussed with them this point, there reply to me about some individuals here, I rather do not post because it leads to un-wanted discussions, but let me say this, you would be knocked on the floor!
The one that post their work, are actually the one that work and taking their time to render the pictures write their progression and put them here to be subject.
The one that does not post pictures of the trees, want be subject, are they afraid or would there status be compromised, what ever status they may think they have!
Again the theory is welcomed, but any other downgrading comment are not, knowing anything better all the time, but never see that individuals have a mind of there own, is not considered fair game and should not be here .
The so called bashing and beating come mostly from this people, that do not expose them self to the same treatment (because they show nothing) and being subject rather only to do the theoretical TEACHER part or playing God the al knowing."SHOW US"
After a while a question raises the thought of; are they that good? Did they only study theory? Again, they don't post or post very little their work done (some even over a Year ago) but they criticise anybody else. They one that post their trees, don't actual do that, or when they do they bring positive critics and inputs and even pictures as a sample, on what they trying to bring across, this is inspiring.
I don't wanna criticise anybody's work, because that is not what this or any other forum is about, this helping each other to improve and bring it across nice, in my sense, positively with constructive ways of applying knowledge.
Showing work including the mistakes on makes, I like that because one can learn from them. I would never tell anybody that it is not a Bonsai, and saying it is a (stick in a pot), it is a supermarket plant, did they start as masters by giving this answers??
I view all postings, and are impressed by so many great trees, but I comment to them, with what I experience mostly through my own work experiences, the theory comes through information of there replies and when the share the knowledge where they wanna go with their trees, but applying it, comes through their practice.
In the end, I am not going to be here to compete, lecture, or downgrading people, I am here to have fun to learn and to develop, through work of others and work I am showing to gain more experiences. But mostly, I like to see other peoples trees and pictures, because that is inspiring, learning from their mistakes and seeing where and how the get to achieve the results is what it is all about.
I thank all this wonderful people, that aiming for the same goals, and thank you for showing your trees leading by example in doing so, you have my outmost respect, because you not only write here but actually take the time and work to post your trees here.
Thank you
