Wrong again, Harry! Taking any pursuit seriously necessarily diminishes its
fun value as serious is the opposite of fun.

My Dearest Esteemed Colleague:

I can not disagree more forcefully. A professional is a person who has
a mastery compency level. She/he has both the highest level of
performance PLUS a true joy of the task. It is the joy of the task
that propels a person to the highest level of performance HOWEVER,
superior skills (like yourself) is the last step before attaining Self
Actualization... its when you’re in the grove: capable plus joy that
pushes a person to the highest level of performance. Those lacking the
total joy a task brings will never achieve that highest level of
performance. It takes both.

Think of it as fuking…. Could you be a fantastic love and not enjoy
the woman/man you banging? Gotta have both other wise your just a dam
good whore. Which is good. They are professionals too!
