DESIGNERS: Why I Promote and Support You Rather Than Compete Against You 
My comment on this post:
I think as designers in today’s world, we have this tie to both an “artists” culture as well as the webs “open-source” culture and both communities have this attitude that sharing resources and knowledge is what will improve the craft/community as a whole.
It’s what makes you a business person to have *some* competitive nature, but I think what’s different about some of us is our competitiveness being more with ourselves, like what you say… always striving to improve and go above and beyond for our clients. Not cause we want to knock someone ELSE out of the game, but just cause we love the playing the game ourselves!
There is room for everybody and if you can focus more on what YOUR specific specialty is and what YOU have to offer than no one else can offer, that is more valuable that winning by playing dirty.
Sorry for all the sports analogies.. i don’t even *like* sports, I’m a total “inside kid!”
