Aphorisms- Profesionalism
Professionalism
When we speak today about a professional football player it doesn’t mean that he is doing it for a living, but that he is performing outstandingly.
A special feature of a pro is that he/she can direct things into a good direction even when his/her sentiments would lead him/her elsewhere. This is the specific mixture of self discipline and internal force.
Amateurs hope. Pros work.
You must consequently be better than others. That’s the characterstic of a pro. It has nothing to do with the fact that you are paid for your services.
If I have eight hours for cutting wood, I spend six sharpening my axe.

Altough they get lots of money and publicity,and this is a very big motivator . If you start at something you like,you may can stay for the long run doing it. These days we need to sharpen our brain as well.

You are like me in a sense, a born perfectionist. I agree that preparation requires a good number of hours, Pieter. I just wonder how much time do you spend preparing for ... lol.
