    I really enjoyed the interview, hearing Peter's thoughts about life and bonsai!

    Having taught engineering in a college for 37 years and reaching the dizzy heights of Senior Lecturer, I realised within the first few days that I was no better than any one of my students, I just had more experience than them and if they wanted I could share that with them, not because I had to but because I wanted to. Fortunately I enjoyed teaching immensely and I have to say also learning from my students until the day I retired. I have a similar outlook on life to yours so I could relate to your interview. We are all equal and if something pleases you, conventional or not, who is to say that it's wrong. A great video. Thank you.

    Dear Mr. Chang, I have never owned a bonsai nor do I intend to in the future. But I love watching your videos and I have learned a lot from you. I can translate what you teach to just about any sphere of my life, and I often watch you when I have to solve a problem of some sort. Thank you so much for everything ,you really have made a positive impact on my life.

    Peter, I appreciate your perspective on the level at which you teach. Your humility is amazing when contrasted by your accolades. Thank you for being such an active advocate for beginner and frugal bonsai especially through the financial uncertainties of the past few years. There are so many wonderful channels and artists to learn from but I always come back to Heron's videos because of your spirit of kindness and gratitude.

    The "it can't be done" really is a mindset. It feels like a lesson that a of my friends who grew up poor in Soviet Poland inadvertently taught me: rather than being stressed out by what she doesn't have during a shortage, her default mindset is to how she can make due with what she does have.

    What I like most about Peter Chan's UA-cam videos is that he takes the mystery out of bonsai. There are so many misconceptions about this art form out there, including in other UA-cam videos, that I have come to greatly appreciate Peter's hands-on, "you-can-do-this" approach. Peter, we thank you for all of your efforts.

    Peter Chan helped me learn the love of bonsai. He taught start with what you have. So during Covid I just used trees on our farm. Yamadori before I knew what the word means. I made something with what is at hand.Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 3 years later I have learned to propagate cuttings and have progressed to azaleas , Japanese maples , figs, and fruit trees. You are an awesome individual.
