If nice guys finish last?

We've heard the saying that nice guys finish last, if this is true then should he alter his mindset to become the badguy in order to be first? Would it be worth it?

But nice guys don't finish last. It's just a way of making losers feel better.

Nice guys dont't finish last- mentally/physically retarded guys finish last.

Nice guys finish somewhere in the middle, and assholes finish first.

being perpetually nice does put you at a strategic disadvantage. that's why most people are selfish when it makes sense to be selfish and nice when it is convenient for them.

Nice guys are cowards.

That is pretty spot on.

At any rate, nice people can be assertive when called far. Being cutthroat is not a sure-fire way to success either.

I've been taking risk lately and it has grown more confidence in me and made me more compassionate. I'm learning to trust God more in his word, it's been difficult but the rewards and effects have been worth while.

I like taking people's expensive Risk. Roll a 6.

altruism is basically putting what is best for other people over whatever your own goals are. by definition being nice means that you are making sacrifices for other people. otherwise you are just acting in your own self interest.

i don't consider just being civil with other people as being nice. i think being nice is going that extra mile to help people when it doesn't serve your own interests to do so.

It doesn't matter whether you're assertive or not. If you're generally nice people are going to take advantage of you.

you can be intelligent enough to know that not everyone is as nice as you are. people will take advantage of you only if you let them, imo.

That's how the game goes.

And unless you let them take advantage of you then you're not nice.

Do you actually have this belief or are you just being Astner?
