Amateurs vs professionals. As a matter of fact, we can all elevate ourselves from our amateur ways and embrace the professional mindset and practices. We will accelerate our trajectory, increase our luck, and open up new prospects.
AMATEURS VS PROFESSIONALS
Differences;
1. While professionals follow a routine, amateurs let the day unfold. The best performers in any field have one thing in common: they have a routine and follow it religiously. Most of what we consider grandeur is just the culmination of small, everyday deeds performed consistently and well.
2. While professionals enjoy the process, amateurs enjoy the reward. If the only thing keeping you going is the view at the top, you’ll never reach the top. The last dinner must be as thrilling as the search. Professionals actually fall in love with the process, despite the fact that it seems corny.
3. Professionals make things look easy, while amateurs make it look hard. The paradox of effort states that in order to make something seem effortless, more work must be done. Experts understand that a lot of hard, gritty practice is all it takes to produce graceful performances.
4. While professionals are unrelenting, amateurs are ostentatious. While many people can generate energy in short bursts, only a small percentage can generate steady, regular flows throughout the day. While the latter is persistent, the former is ostentatious. Professionals are proud to punch the clock and show up each and every day.
5. While professionals’ welcome failure, amateurs fear it. The Paradox of Failure: You succeed more in the end the more you fail. In order to score, you must have shots on goal. The shots you don’t take will be missed 100% of the time!
6. Professionals relish making mistakes, whereas amateurs fear them. In the face of their own incapacity: In an effort to divert attention from the glaring gap, the amateur thrashes violently. The professional enlists help to cover the incompetence and moves the board to hide it.
