Professionalism...possible???

Few days back..I was reading my Mentor's blog..Mentor because he taught me which would have taken years for me to implement..i.e.being politically correct..
The blog was good in a way..it talked of big terms..the managerial stuff as I call it!!
I felt it to be inspirational till the date, I am a free bird..I think practicing the big words like professionalism, leadership, proactiveness...in your own independent world is no big deal, but to make it happen with the people around you is a bingo!!
I am talking of teamwork ofcourse..Its futile being professional in your own terms..because it will just leave you a slogger than a winner...but if you can survive the discouraging unprofessional elements around you and still make the world go your way..nothing better than that..lets work it..and see whats in hold for us..
