Interesting note: the word amateur comes from the Latin Amat, to love. An amateur does what they do for their love - of music, art, programming or whatever, not for mundane reasons such as career, fame, or material compensation.
- Silverback_VII 4y agoI don't think the gap between an amateur and an artist or business owner is the love for their work. The gap is the ability to generate something of value to others to the point at which you can sustain your efforts without needing to subsidise it like a hobby.
