SUCCESS MANTRAS
“Don’t ever do anything as though you were an amateur.
“Anything you do, do it as a professional to professional standards.
“Anything you do, do it as a professional to professional standards.
“If you have
the idea about anything you do that you just dabble in it, you will
wind up with a dabble life. There’ll be no satisfaction in it because
there will be no real production you can be proud of.
“Develop the frame of mind that whatever you do, you are doing it as a professional and move up to professional standards in it.
“Never let it be said of you that you lived an amateur life.
“Professionals see situations and they handle what they see. They are not amateur dabblers.
“So learn
this as a first lesson about life. The only successful beings in any
field, including living itself, are those who have a professional
viewpoint and make themselves and ARE professionals” — L. Ron Hubbard
