" Newly installed landscape is like a 16 yrs old girl.. Overtime, it becomes like a 50 yrs old woman.. so difficult to maintain the shape! If you can keep it looking nice, now that's a successful landscape."

"Don't burn as you learn!"
- Boss
Must keep this in mind.. Truthfully, I admire my boss for being 76 yrs old and still so inquisitive and feisty *can't think of a better word >< *
Some more quotable quotes from Boss:
"Always argue with yourself."
" In my office there are four words that I don't like people to use : I think, I thought, I assume, I presume."
* I agree with the spirit behind it, that is, never assume something, clarify things, but it is proving mighty difficult to remove these words from daily language use >< Being forbidden to use these words though, really opened my eyes as to how many things I assume especially in taking over other projects midway from my colleague! *
"Put a lot of effort into your thinking! See this thing *we were discussing hook placement for a vertical green system, and a bit of shifting makes a lot of difference to the drainage and irrigation*, see how much care and thinking power that goes into it!"
" Young people! I am teaching you not just landscape, I am teaching you how to do business!"
