A headmaster once told his father that what Einstein chose as a profession wouldn't matter, because “he'll never make a success at anything.”
b)"amateur" (and any subsequent words) was ignored because we limit queries to 32 words.
c)a person who engages in a pursuit, especially a sport, on an unpaid rather than a professional basis.
