The rise of an amateur (short version)

In the past, for the latin speakers, the word amateur was used to tell about a
person who loves doing something. Nowadays this word has a different meaning and it
is, surprisely, associated to a bad work.

We can find some of those amateur people in today's bussiness world. To reach their
positions, CEOs love what they or their copanies do. Mark Zuckerberg, for exemple,
has been an enthousiast of technology before the succes of Facebook, many
bussinessmen of technological industry too. And they all could be applying their
energies exploring and creating possibilities at internet even if that hasn't had
financial feedback.

On the other hand, countless people were trying to take advatages with internet at
the same time, but almost nobody had obtained similar success.

Another case related occured with the organic food productors. After the growth of
the interest in healthy food, those workers that had invested their efforts for a
longtime on this sector could benefit from this oportunity. They're now making
money and attending the market doing what they love doing.

So, beeing an 'amateur' could retake its first meaning in the way it shows that's
not necessary to choose between love and money.
