If you want to stand apart in your field of choice — business, entertainment, technology, education or anything else; you need to conduct yourself as a pro (professional) and not as an amateur.
A pro is someone who;
- is ready to work hard
- is comfortable on big stage
- is in it for the love of it
- shows up every day
- prepares for the d-day
- seeks expert help where he is lacking
- communicates
- believes in participation
- believes in giving back
- believes in healthy competition
- believes in getting and giving helps
- knows that action speak louder than words
- knows that every moment of life is an opportunity to learn
- knows that words are powerful and thoughts even more powerful
- knows it is important to conduct oneself well
- knows that nobody made it alone
- knows that it is just a game and we win some and lose some
- know that records are to be broken — almost everything can be made better
- knows that it may takes time to become really good
- knows that battles are won in mind even before one enters the playground
- knows how to have fun
- knows how to draw a line
- knows how to get in zone
- works with a coach or mentor — at times many of them
- works with tools that help optimize performance
- works with the best tools available and affordable
