The pro is present in his studies and his work. He doesn’t repeat negative thoughts or make excuses.
Are you a pro when it comes to learning English?
Who’s an Amateur?
He might make excuses for not being fluent in English.
The amateur might decide that his lack of English skills is because he doesn’t have a good teacher, or good resources, or the right opportunities.
