Chubais is already a profession.
Alexander Livshits

Work and profession are integral components of human life. By who a person works, and how he does it, you can tell a lot about his personality. After all, it is in this area that he expresses all his talents and qualities, positive and negative aspects of character. Not surprisingly, a lot has been said about occupation and work. Wisdom related to this area of ​​life can be learned from outstanding personalities: politicians, economists, writers, poets and others.

Opinion of F. Engels: on the violation of the professional code

The following quote about the profession was said by F. Engels, and it is difficult to disagree with these words:

In fact, each class and even each profession has its own morality, which they also violate whenever they can do it with impunity.

Each profession has its own "code of honor", a set of rules that must be strictly observed. A classic example of this is the Hippocratic Oath. The simple commandment "do no harm" is, of course, followed by most medical practitioners. But among them there are those who, in the absence of strict guidance, may neglect this rule. This quote about the profession applies to any field of human activity. In addition to medicine, other areas also have their own important laws and principles. Perhaps they are not expressed as concisely as in medicine, but this does not negate the obligation to fulfill them.

Words by Bernard Shaw

Here is what B. Shaw says about the specifics of professional activity:

Every profession is a conspiracy against the uninitiated.

When a person masters a specialty, starts working in this area, gaining more and more experience - over time, he turns into a real "guru". And to other people, his actions may seem like a kind of mystery that they would never be able to comprehend.

That is why, in his quote about the profession, B. Shaw compares high professionalism with a “conspiracy”. But in reality, every person who has reached the heights in his field can be the bearer of his own “conspiracy”. Therefore, there is nothing shameful in not knowing how teeth are treated, computers are repaired, or roads are repaired - the main thing is to be a professional in your field.

Writer Virginia Woolf on women in the profession

A quote about the profession, written by the talented writer V. Wolfe, highlights the problem of female realization in the profession:

My profession is literature; and in this profession there are fewer difficulties for women than in all others, except for the theater - I mean specifically female difficulties.

Wolfe recalls that for women, full-fledged professional realization is accompanied by difficulties. Most often, this is the inability to achieve the same level of wages that are claimed by men employed in the same field. Women have to constantly face discrimination, which makes it difficult to build a career and grow in their chosen field. But in our progressive age, this quote about the profession of V. Wolf is gradually losing its meaning: more and more women occupy high political posts, and also work in those areas that were traditionally considered male.

A few more sayings

You can find many professions. All of them illuminate this or that side of this important aspect of human life. Consider a few more great quotes about the profession:

Two things are very difficult to avoid: stupidity - if you withdraw into your specialty, and groundlessness - if you leave it. Goethe

A one-sided specialist is either a crude empiricist or a learned charlatan. N. Pirogov

It works well when you love your profession, you do it with enthusiasm. Y. Gagarin

It's just a profession. Grass grows, birds fly, waves wash over the sand, I hit people. Muhammad Ali

All professions are from people, and only three are from God: a teacher, a judge and a doctor. Socrates

At the age of six I wanted to be a cook, at seven I wanted to be a Napoleon, and then my ambitions grew steadily. Salvador Dali

They say that politics is the second oldest profession. But I came to the conclusion that she has much more in common with the first. R. Reagan

About choosing a field

Perhaps one of the most important steps in a person's life is the choice of a professional field. The decision that a boy or girl chooses in youth affects their entire subsequent path. Parents and teachers tell young people that the main thing in their youth is the choice of a profession, the choice of a path. Quotes and sayings of famous people will help you understand the peculiarities of making this difficult decision.

For example, the statement of V. Mayakovsky is known:

All works are good - choose to taste.

Each work is attractive in its own way. A young person has a huge number of options to choose from - you just need to decide on your own desires. But here contradictions often begin: should we be guided by financial criteria in this choice? Or do you need to choose a job at the behest of the soul, and not according to the size of the future wages? The following quote about choosing a profession, by the American director J. Houston, allows you to understand this:

Don't choose a profession for money. You have to choose a profession like a wife: out of love and out of money.

Yes, these words have a humorous connotation. But there is some truth in them. Some say that money is not important - you must definitely work according to your calling. Others believe that calling is secondary, and a person should be ready for any kind of work. But in reality, it is important to enjoy work and get decent financial rewards. In this case, a person’s life will be happier, which means that he will serve other people through his activity better.
