Being a Professional

"Don't you understand anything about commitment, about being a pro, about sticking with what you say you wanna be?  You don't do it just when you feel good.  You don't just do it when you're not tired.  You don't do it just when it's sunny.  You do it every day of your life.  You do it when it hurts to do it, when it's the last thing in the world you wanna do, when there are a million reasons not to do it.  You do it because you're a professional."
