I called off his players’ name as they came marching up the steps behind him… All nice guys. They’ll finish last. Nice guys. Finish last.
-Leo Durocher (1905-1991)
It’s a sad but true fact. We can hide it all we want; avoid it like the plague. The problem will always remain the same; nice guys will always finish last.
What’s stopping these people, these ‘nice guys’ so to speak, from moving up on this list? Well… where do we even begin?
It’s their ambition. There’s no drive for that person to go and get what he wants, simply because in their minds… What she believes is best for her, will be best for him as well. It’s a stupid belief, but still one nonetheless. So the nice guy likes the girl, but she’s going out with a jerk. Doesn’t matter how much you convince yourself that it’s best for her to be the nice guy and just support her and listen to her when the shit breaks down just so that she can go back to him and repeat the whole process again. It’s still going to happen.
It’s just how it is; nice guys don’t really get much choice in the matter. All there is to do is really just follow along for the ride.
