The manifesto · 12 principles

Respect the value of fair competition, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
Let commitment and consistency define you more than public recognition.
Treat responsibility to society as part of scientific and professional life.
Honor precision and clarity in both thought and communication.
Use curiosity as a lifelong habit, not something limited to youth or formal study.
Be patient with complex problems; deep understanding often requires long-term persistence.
Accept challenge as a normal part of meaningful work and competition.
Maintain balance between intellectual work and physical training or sport.
Work collaboratively; major achievements are built with colleagues, not in isolation.
Stay humble about what is known, and be willing to revise your views when facts change.
Value rigorous scientific inquiry and let evidence guide your conclusions.
Pursue excellence through disciplined, sustained effort rather than talent alone.
