That is what I love about this forum. We all learn from each other.

See that's the secret, to never stop learning or to think you can't learn from someone else. I want to stay the same, no matter my years of experience. Since the hardest to overcome for a new person, is bad treatment makes them feel stupid and they either are lost to the hobby or just become quiet.

That is so true! We should rather encourage each other. Build each other up and give compliment if someone does something you like.

Its always easier to look down at someone,than look up to them. Sadly many people no matter in which hobby or work,tend to forget their roots. What I love is, change starts with one.

first try and change yourself before trying to change the world. But I must say, I have really learned a lot from you

Haha,some might find me hard headed. What I will say is,thanks for the compliment and vice versa with the learning statement. Also why I love talking is,there's never a stupid question just a stupid reply. Hope more will join,and grow this forum further sending more people out there to change the perception of Tarantulas.

 

[Christell Erasmus]

I totally agree.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side of the pond.
Our president was just found guilty of spending 250 million rand of taxpayers money to upgrade his private residence. With elections 2 months away, he is still guaranteed to keep the presidency. But that's for a whole nother thread.

Don't come to Africa as our country is very unstable!!! The only reason tourist come here is to view our wildlife I know this because I work for South African narional parks. That is the only reason and the robbery and thefts are extremely high. Even my boss was hijacked a few months ago and put in his boot of his land rover and thought they were gonna kill him. Look it's a beautiful country, but safety here is not a priority!!!
