(In general) artists are a generous type of people
They celebrate each other's success and give each other a hand up.
They promote each other's work and are happy to champion their colleagues and their fellows to better places because they tend to have the mentality that there are enough 'patrons' out there for all of us.
Generally, with a few exceptions, you can watch and see this with bands, writers and performers and it appears (at least from the outside) that they have a very open, honest and cheering mentality.
This is not the case in the profession in which I work I fear; where it seems that the majority of people see themselves as an island with everyone else against them. I honestly believe there are enough patients and enough dental disease to go around us all, we just decide which part of the market to service and service that part of the market to the best of our ability. I honestly think that a lot of the problems in dentistry would be solved if we could adopt much more of an artist's mentality.
