Amateur or Professional?

I came across this quote on a friends facebook page and had to share it.

"What's the difference between an amateur and a professional? It has nothing to do with money. The professional corrects his or her mistakes. The amateur doesn't even know they made one." Darton Drake

Having Bentley Architecture, with all its 3d-modeling, rendering and animation capabilities, a dual monitor cad workstation and a plotter does not make me a professional designer. Knowing what to do with them does.

Having Home Guage inspection software and lots of tools to inspect homes does not make me a professional home inspector. Knowing what to do with them does.

For all your Arizona House Plans and Phoenix Home Inspection needs contact me.

Did you purposely spell Professional wrong in your title? It seems like it to me.....Aren't you clever?1

I wish I could take credit for being that clever. Thus the reason I am only an amateur writer.

Nice Loren! I have not heard it put that way before. One of our favorites is 'that a professional has lots of experience while an amateur has a little practice.'

Great post. I actually had to steal your quote and post it as my facebook status. Thanks for sharing.

Nice quote Loren. I would say the same thing but just substitute 'Carson and Dunlop reporting system ' for your 'Home Gauge inspection software'. Knowing how to use them is key.
