	Gracious professionalism - FIRSTwiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Gracious professionalism is the embodiment of the FIRST philosophy.
		In FIRST, one of the most straightforward interpretations of gracious professionalism is that we learn and compete like crazy, but treat one another with respect and kindness in the process.
		For instance, booing would obviously not be graciously professional, but at the same time saying "everyone is a winner" would be just as much so.
