How this hobby has helped with other aspects in life

[cosmic2000]

It was my professor at the university once who said I was a creative designer but a terrible model-builder.
So 20 years later I was still thinking about that. I bought myself a standard textbook and read all about watchmaking. After having read the last page I just started with some basic builds and the virus has caught me ever since.
What I have learned?
1. Don't listen to other people and just start even though you have no clue of what you're doing in the beginning. You cannot loose.
2. Always have respect of people with skills who will help you.
3. A movement is like your job. There are no important or unimportant wheels. If one wheel, big or small, fancy or hidden, has problems, the whole firm has problems. All people are important no matter on what stage of hierarchy.
That has become my credo ever since.

P.S. If you cannot afford buying yourself a Rlx, then build yourself one It's much more fun.

I like this line. I might even use it.
