Re: Gracious Professionalism
I'm surprised that no one used this example: at the 2008 summer Olympics in China it was time for the Women's Freestyle event (sorry can't think of which one off the top of my head). One of the contender's suit had ripped which would have made her unable to compete. Dara Tores, one of the athletes competing, went over to the judges and asked if they could wait until the swimmer could change her suit before starting the race. I guess GP isn't exclusive to FIRST.

As for a definition of GP: GP is wanting everyone to do great, with you doing the best.

Sorry about bringing back a long-ago thread, but it still seemed like a relevant topic and I didn't really want to make a new thread for it.
