Successful doctors don't teach for free, yet if I
want to be a doctor I am assured by a venerable insititution that they are by
and large professional and have
an ethical manner of teaching. I can bet my
career on that. Learning a trade from a tudor is no easy task. And I
realize it is Shakespearean.
It sounds like you met the right people. That
is wonderful.

Subject: Re: [RT] Mentors:What makes a
good Mentor
Do successful doctors sign up at medical schools to teach for free?
Is Johnny Cochrane offering free "How to win the case of the century?"
courses? If it's offered for free, *everyone*, without thinking, will go
for it. If there's a cost, or a risk, then we have to stop and ask some
questions of ourselves as well as the teacher. Why do we treat trading
as something other than a business?
And to vary the conversation a little, and I won't get too sanctimonious
here, but to me trading is also about who you are as a person, your needs,
fears, disciplines. C'mon, it's Shakespearean --Fear, Greed, Lust, Power
(and in some cases, Revenge). How are you going to deal with that?
Is your mentor going to help you?

had the distinct pleasure of being mentored in another field. I
learnedphotography from a three time Guggenhiem fellow.The
relationship lasted for over 5 years. There was never any moneyinvolved.
The relationship centered around the image, the roleof an artist in a
technological culture, photography, obtaining grant money,sojourning
into people's homes and gathering images andoral history's.. I was
successful, and I measure that by being able to getinto an MFA arts
program after the deadline, simply on myimages alone. What was shared
was a mutual passion for obtaining a goodrepresentaion of a point of
view. You have probably seenimages that you cannot either believe
happened or are incredibly inspiringthis is what the relationship was
about.The above is a mentorship and to call what happens most of the
time in thisbusiness for a relationship o f teaching, a "Mentor" <A
