Buddha Quote
Wednesday May 27, 2026
ProfessionalismI realise that these days, there is much talk about
professionalism, being truly professional in work and related
services. People are impressed by professionalism. We are even
impressed by professional killers in the movies!
There is even
this movie on a hired killer called "The Professional"!
I
realised that the sense professionalism is generally "twisted"
because we sometimes see it as an act-not really sincere, just a
good act. True professionalism is sincere. We also tend to see it
applying to work only.
Why am I saying all these? Well, I reckon
we should be truly professional in all aspects of life
sincerely-no act. Be a professional child to your parent, be a
pro. friend to your friends, be a pro. colleague to your
colleagues... The Buddha is the true professional! Professional
as a student when He was Prince-learning wholeheartedly when he
was learning, mastering all subjects academic and martial like a
perfect learner should. And of course, we have to admit that His
teachings and His method of teaching, coupled with His Wisdom and
Compassion, were truly professional! That's why we choose to be
Buddhists! Is that not so?
