Herons Bonsai
Herons Bonsai is more than a collection of how to make bonsai. If you listen carefully, you can recognize bonsai as a metaphor for life.
Useful life lessons from bonsai include:
- What are your options? Consider them carefully.
- If you think you are always right, then you can't learn.
- Given time, mistakes are manageable or recoverable.
- Deal with problems one at a time.
- Eventually, you have to "bite the bullet" and see what happens.
