This AM, one of my 'FB' friends posted this sentiment; 'Nice guys finish last.' Well...I beg to differ. Also, I guess it all depends on what one is attempting to 'win', and, how one goes about doing that. Let's say a person wants 'success', in the business world, and, is willing to do ANYTHING to that end of 'getting to the top', e.g., stepping on the toes of others, lying, cheating, etc.. Well, as far as I'm concerned, if one need perform, in such a manner, to achieve success, they aren't terribly, nice, to begin with; and, their 'rise to the top' doesn't make them victorious. However, if a person is a kind, decent, and, nice, human-being, considerate of the feelings of others, regardless of his or her 'rise to the top', he/she is a 'WINNER', in my opinion, and, will, ALWAYS, 'come in first', regardless of their outward 'success', as far as I'm concerned. So...do nice guys, truly, finish last? Not in 'my book'! But, I guess it's all in how one chooses to perceive things. Just Sayin'...
