Attitude
(Internet Published) Oct 2000
Confucious said in his infinite wisdom that a man could make Gold from straw
if he had the patience and dedication. Therefore a man in his infinite
wisdom will buy pedigreed strains of British Tipplers and he will fail with
them. The dedication, the expertise, the extremism cannot be sold along with
the specimens. There is no warranty with an issue of "bought" Tipplers. A
man either makes them or he breaks them. He handles the raw material from
which he produces success or failure. He should not blame the founder of the
strain if it fails in his hands. He should not give undue credit to the
founder or supplier if the issue succeeds in his hands. Always remember that
from day number one these pigeons are "Yours" and that they will have to
adapt if they are to succeed. There has to be flexibility in ever strain.
Such pigeons must be tailored to suit you, or, you will have to be tailored
to suit them.
