It's true that nice people can sometimes choose not to be aggressive in a situation because they don't want to interfere or cause friction. Situations like this can make people think that nice guys do finish last. However, there are a lot of people out there who don't want a "bad" person to get into a relationship with or be friends with.
I've never really thought that nice guys don't get far. There's a difference between being nice and being a pushover. As long as a nice person isn't a pushover, there isn't really anything stopping them from getting far in life. ...And I guess since I tend to like nice people more than mean people, I like to think that they'll get farther in life.

I believe nice people can do very well in life. I personally try my best to be helpful and kind and have made many friends over the years, as a result my friends trust me, they know I'll help them when they need it. I have been through many bad situations and I've had friends let me stay with them for months when I needed and I've had them lend me money, which I always promptly pay back as soon as I have the means. I may not be wealthy or powerful in the general sense, but I manage to have a happy life and good things come to me, which is more than I can say for most of the mean people I know. I hope that answers your question, good day.

I don't think that's true. I think that mean people who get far in life just take more of our attention, because they're out there being mean all the time in their important roles. Nice people who get far in life, on the other hand, tend to go about doing their jobs quietly and competently, and you don't notice that they're there.

i don't think that's true..but people do seem to confuse "nice" with "no backbone". you can be perfectly nice and confident at the same time; know what ur worth; know what ur intentions are. keep ur integrity intact. u Earn respect. people who gain it by other means, it is actually not respect, but more fear, revulsion, even turns to hatred. so when people use power and motive and arrogance to get farther in life, usually those people are just extremely MOTIVATED and Know how to Take Advantage of "pushovers". knowing how to take advantage of people is actually not that hard; what makes it "hard" for nice people, is that they have respect and integrity! haha..and so perhaps more "nice" people don't have as much motivation to use others to get to the top, whereas mean people do focus in on those things. and nice people may be "happier" where they are at, whereas meaner people are never satisfied.

The point is no matter how far a nice person gets,they feel good about how they got there!

It does seem the more nice you are the worst you are treated in life and that doesn't get you far.

Nice people get trampled on. My human tells me that there is a saying, "Virtue is its own reward." Now, on my block, I couldn't get anywhere in life without a bit of hissing and fur-flying.

They go far in life but find it difficult to stay there because of leg pulling at top ;because they can not kick.

There's a big difference between being nice and being a pushover.
