Amateurs and Professionals

There are professionals with whom you can only have a professional experience unless you are being a total jerk. Enlightened ones who can handle the jerks we all deal with when we are not filling the role ourselves. Everything about them advertises professionalism. We all know them because we have all enjoyed experiences with them from time to time. It is most often a case of instant recognition. Some can fool us and do, into thinking they are not half as professional as they really are. There is a very positive psychological effect in allowing another to discover this side of you, assuming you are the humble professional. These are the people with tiny advertising budgets because word of mouth forces constant expansion of products or services provided.

The professional who succeeds in spite of amateur behavior is common enough we can explain it by karma. She is being rewarded in her business for the fine work she does in charity. You know the ones I mean.
