Hello readers, it has been quite some time since I have had the pleasure
of posting one of my philosophical looks on life. Since we are still in
the month of February I felt like writing about something that pertains
to love. I want to talk about a saying that dates back to the origins
of what some might consider "The Bro Code." The saying is "nice guys
finish last." The saying itself is self explanatory, it clearly states
if you are a nice person you will finish last in what ever you are
competing for. However, in today's upbringing this saying is correlated
with relationships and how woman prefer a difficult man rather than an
easy-going, nice gentleman. As mind blowing as it seems this saying
means way more than that! That is just a ground level understanding of
nice guys finishing last. I decided to dig a little deeper and really
ponder what does it mean for a nice guy to finish last and it hit me. In
order to get ahead in life at an exceptionally well pace you have to be
more than nice at times. I'm not saying to go around and start demanding
the things you want in life. I'm expressing how there is a necessary
balance in life that is needed for man or woman to get ahead. You need
to be nice when it is necessary and also assertive when the time is
right. If not, being nice all the time would leave you handicap in this
world labeling you as a pushover or probably worse. This balance isn't
easy to recognize either because if you are assertive at the wrong times
it would come off as you being pushy and aggressive, which is worse than
being a pushover in my opinion. Nice guys do finish last when they are
walked over and not appreciated as much but, if they stand up for them
selves when necessary they will get far in life... Maybe even in that
relationship as well! So take this reading as a hint to reevaluate your lives readers. If you feel like too nice of a person then stand up for yourself more often. More good things will come to you in life.
Peace readers
