CONCEPT/THE PROFESSIONAL FC
INTRODUCTION
What is Professional？
By the way, here is the question. What does it mean by "Professional" for you?
goo dictionary in Japanese says such things:
1.［Noun］Expert. Principle Occupation. Pro.⇔Amateur
2.［Participle］Vocationaly, Techinical."Professional work"
We might not say 'ah ok' as if we reached the entire concept of the word only by one explanation. Then, let's look at the definition of antonym 'amateur'.
［People who love arts and sports as a hobby, not as a profession. Enthusiast. Novice. Ama.]
It's a bit surprise that an enthusiast is an amateur, but have you not ever seen someone who is pursuing his or her own way extremely even though they say it's just a hobby?
That's right. Because the word is not translated in Japanese and we use it as it is. So how is is written in English dictionary?

There are a lot of explanation. How is your brain-storming going?
