In love as in sport, the amateur status must be strictly maintained.

Amateur Hour
Dont make me sad
Talking bout tomorrow
Its not so bad
We were doing fine just then
Youll move on up, youll move on out
And you wont cry
cause your amateur hour is over
Youre only going where Ive been
And youll see what Ive seen
Youre no amateur - amateur
You know if someone likes your face
Youd be a fool to stay strictly amateur
Its strictly for amateurs
The world could be a better place
If some of us could stay
Amateurs
Theres no more time
To think about the way ahead
Just miss one line
Fall over - youll be left for dead
Your heart will play no part except
When memories of your amateur hour take over
Then screw yourself into a ball
And keep it rolling on
Youre no amateur - amateur
You know if someone likes your face
Youd be a fool to stay strictly amateur
Its strictly for amateurs
The world could be a better place
If some of us could stay
Amateurs
Dont make me sad
Its not so bad

The Sport I Love
Like any other sports
this is the one I choose,
I love, and I have been playing.
the sport I want to be belong.
That is soccer.! ! !
Playing this game
have been giving me an event
that is hard to forget.
It is exciting right! ! !
And therefore
I do not know how
could I leave this sport.
Of which is this sport
help me to build my stamina,
meet a lot of friends, and
also this sport taught me
how to act as a human being,
in order to have a discipline
not only in this sport
but also in the community
as well as in a situation.
It help a lot in me right! ? ,
therefore i must not have to forget
as well as to leave this sport
but to love this sport forever..
I love soccer.! .

American politics used to be an amateur sport. But somewhere along the way, we handed over to professionals all the things people used to do for free.

I think the greatest photographers are the amateur photographers who do it because they love it. Arnold Newman is a good example; he is a consummate professional, but he's also an 'amateur' in the pure sense of the word.

I would hate to think I am not an amature. An amateur is one who loves what he is doing. Very often, I'm afraid, the professional hates what he is doing. So, I'd rather be an amateur.

Who Was The Guilty One?
One was never the one
guilty guilty...
of not loving
other partner enough.
You were meant
to be with me...
eternally but your not.
Therefore
committed you were not...
equal to
a great love
or supreme sacrifices...
needed.
Were you too afraid
to commit to love...
in a gross material age
where everything
is sold at...
market price?
Does your job status
justify justify...
your menial existence?
Or is your life
still meaningful...
with status but no love?
Or is your life
still meaningless...
with status but no love?
One life in the material
where status reigns supreme.
One life in the ephemeral
walking back beyond between.

Once the amateur's naive approach and humble willingness to learn fades away, the creative spirit of good photography dies with it. Every professional should remain always in his heart an amateur.

For Lovers Only
This ain't for the ones
That just love for fun
That just love and run
that just hold the gun
This is for
Those that bleed
That want but have no need
This ain't for the war
this is only
For Lovers only
lovers only
Strictly for the lovers only
Who are lost and lonely
Ever since the way you looked at me
love is not a want
love is now a need
This is if you want to hold me
Or for lovers only
not for the easy
This ain't bout that style
Its about a take it day by day
its about a wait thats worth it baby
Ever since the day you look at me
Ever since the way
love is not a want
love is now a need
now a need
not just cuz i got nobody
not just cuz i got nobody
This is only
For Lovers only
lovers only
Strictly for the lovers only
Who are lost and lonely
Ever since the day you look at me
Ever since the way
love is not a want
love is now a need
now a need
not just cuz i got nobody
not just cuz i got nobody
This is only
For Lovers only
lovers only
Strictly for the lovers only
Who are lost and lonely

In Touch With Self
Status and who has it...
Isn't often in appearance detected.
Status and who has it...
May be influenced,
By one's ability...
To be in touch with self.
And many try to keep this out of reach.
Since a status had that one has and keeps,
Can not be taught to teach.

All I have is love to give,
And gain!
I'm on a fast track to stay,

Nothing in my life...

Pride attaches undue importance to the superiority of one's status in the eyes of others And shame is fear of humiliation at one's inferior status in the estimation of others. When one sets his heart on being highly esteemed, and achieves such rating, then he is automatically involved in fear of losing his status.
The Hunter
A full-fledged gun cannot endure
The trifling of an amateur;
Poor marksmanship its temper spoils
And this is why the gun recoils.
A self-respecting gun I’m sure
Delights to jar the amateur
And thinks that it is no disgrace
To kick his shoulder out of place.
Moral
When you go out to hunt, my son
Prepare to circumvent your gun
And on your shoulder firmly bind
A pillow of the largest kind.

Ever Ready to Protect You
I will deliver you from the hands of the wicked my love,
And i will redeem you from the hands of the terrible!
Because my heart yearns for you always,
So keep in touch and let me know your status-quo! !
This is like the joy of the mind,
And like the joy of your muse in the land of beautiful flowers;
Because i am ever ready to protect you my love,
So keep in touch and let me know your status-quo.

Broadcast Emotion
I like the way you set yourself goals
The blind ambition you sport like
New clothes
Theres nothing bold in the posture
You wear
Its always stunning to show you care
Youre so outspoken, the status quotient
Brought up to peak broadcast emotion
As calculated as the news is
At least youve got yourself impressed
Appropriated, the concepts you boast
You love the sound of your own voice
Youre always vocal, affecting passion
Wholesale opinions will stay in fashion

Your Sincere Love
I m like a cinderella
the love of a handsome prince and wealthy
strikling differences in social status
sincere love...
you love me sincerely
you make me as your princess
your wealth, good looks, intelligence, valor, courage
make all the women want to have u
all the differences will be united by the power of love
love is blind
regardless of one's status
you love me sincerely with all your heart
until you want to mary me
this is a lucky
good fortune led me
so i became the luckiest woman all over the world

Mohinani
Policies,
Unfavourable,
But though partnerships to enhance my status;
For, the main ingredients of love were laid bare! !
Mash,
Wash,
Installed,
Operating;
But, subsequently! Mohinani came around to see her off! !
Because, the millers were around as well,
And like the muse of love in the land of trouble.
The corridor,
Darkness at the place! !
And like a hatchery and parent stock;
But, the remarks were all about her love!
And with documentations to enhance my status,
Because, all that muses have now been exposed! !
