I thought a pro was someone who gets paid, whether
the work is good or not. But I especially like the
saying: "A professional is someone who knows how
to fix his mistakes."

A amateur can be as good as a pro. Amateur simply comes from
amate. That means that s/he is doing whatever for love of doing
it...


Hmm! Interesting definition. If true, anyone who likes what they do for
a living is an amateur.

Err, providing that there is a choice...


Doesn't life consist of choices.
