Thank you, AVS, for the definition provided. I am trying to find a direction through your approach towards professionalism.
"Use analytical thought from the brain to perform the work by hand with a human touch of heart & soul" - beautiful. Professionalism is evident here. Please continue to share such valuable words from your arsenal.

Very well expressed AVS. A comfortable thought. How then would you define an Enterpreneur? How about: A man who works with his hands, his brain, his heart and his SOUL is an Enterpreneur.

Good sharing. Just to add, in economics, the term 'labor' is used for all economic activities (earning for livelihood) and includes all physical and mental efforts taken by humans. Hence, the reward to labor, which is 'wages,' also includes wages, salaries, fees, commissions, and all. In short, we all are 'labor' as per economics.

Who works with H, H & H may not be a professional. He or she may be an ideal worker with full commitment enjoying the work as play.
A professional is a person engaged in a profession with high education, training, and skill to perform that specific activity. The meaning of profession as per the Oxford Dictionary is "a type of job that needs special training or skill, especially one that requires a high level of education such as medical, legal, teaching, and training, etc.
Professional - "who is connected with a job that needs special training or skill, especially one that requires a high level of education." I suggest people be more careful before writing anything in this forum. Thank you for at least using this forum to learn and share professionally.

The correct definition of professional is rightly given by our member Er. Prafulla K. Acharya, and I will be pleased to redefine the post as given under:
A man who works with his hands is a LABOURER.
A man who works with his hands and his brain is a CRAFTSMAN.
A man who works with his hands, his brain, and his heart is an ARTIST.

Dear AVS Jai,
Did you mean an Artisan instead of an Artist? Excuse me for dissenting, but bear in mind that I am an Engineer too, same as Mr. Acharya.
Sorry, Mr. Acharya, but I personally like AVS's first quote better, regardless of what the dictionary says. An education doesn't have to be a formal one only. A person who has spent years learning various nuances of something and put his heart into it is educated enough. I have known people who lack formal high education but are in senior positions doing great professional and even management work.
A quote like the one that AVS first gave also has the privilege of poetic license. It doesn't have to be strictly as per the dictionary.
It was to have an understanding of such matters that we used to have a subject called "Humanities" in our 5 years Engineering course back in 1971-76.

Dear Preetpal,
Greetings. Thank you for your valuable comments. As the word "Artisan" also refers to a person who works with their hands, I have used the term "Artist," which refers to a person who performs any creative tasks, generally related to art. As management is partly an art, it can also imply professionalism. I am pleased that my post has inspired our members to share their comments. In the process, two thoughts have now emerged, which is very positive. Thank you for your active participation.

I agree with Mr. Preetpal that without formal education or a degree, one can become highly knowledgeable and successful in the domain of professionals. I had the privilege of working under Rusi Modi, the illustrious MD of TATA STEEL, who had only rich working experience with people and works of Jamshedpur with little so-called degrees. He was very successful during those days in our country. Honda and Edison had no degrees, but they were great achievers. We know many such great persons without the so-called high education as per the dictionary.
