 ...when you see someone post about something they don’t like, please don’t post another “I’m sick of all this whining” type of post. If you disagree with them, try to offer an intelligent argument back. - Phil 33 [more] |

Re: Gracious Professionalism
I'm disappointed that this question doesn't have 200 replies already!
Gracious Professionalism is loosing and congratulating the winning teams and really meaning it! Gracious Professionalism is winning and congratulating the losing team and being truly happy that they were there to compete. It's offering advice, materials or tools to help someone that may beat you. It's facing up to the challenge of the competition. It's coming back and losing, It's coming back and winning, it's acknowledging that what makes one of us strong, makes all of us strong. Best example I can't find but of a team who lost their robot but was given parts and help by other teams to build an entirely new robot in order to compete. Most of all it's about inspiration. Something I have gotten from every group of kids I've mentored since I first became involved. Steve
