Being the Nice Guy…
Being the nice guy never works. First you try to be the best in the community by helping out others via opening the door for them, being lenient by letting them go first when you both reach the stop sign at the same time, and even when you let them go before you in a line of about 100 people. So, where is it that you get what you’ve been looking for back? 
After a couple of years of being the nice guy, one can say that it is a demeaning life. Getting the door slammed in your face is not such a bad thing after it happens the first few times. Letting people borrow your cds in an attempt to being nice is a loss of your money spent on the cds, which in fact, the person who you let borrow never pays you back, or returns the cd.
Its a brutal world, we live in. But remember one thing, you are not the only nice person out there 
In fact, there are a lot of you out there that you just haven’t met yet. So, who is it better to be? The ever so nice guy? or the opposite side of the coin, the bad guy? 
If you don’t see it in the media, let me point it out to you. If anyone has seen House M.D., one will see that Dr. House lives his life as the King. He is the “bully” of his peers, and gets things the way he wants them, no matter what. Even though he is saving lives, it is completely irrelevant that his bad-guy-ness doesn’t affect his job. On the other hand, we have Wilson, who is the ‘nice guy’ and if you have seen enough episodes of the everlasting House you will know that he is always losing a relationship and doesn’t have a stable place to live. So you tell me, do you want to be the nice guy? or the not-so-nice guy?
