It means that being passive and allowing people to step over you, will get you no where. If you are a pushover, people will get ahead of you.
Nice guys finish last" -- Attributed to baseball manager Leo Durocher[15] in 1946; according to Durocher's 1975 autobiography, he was misquoted: "Take a look at them. All nice guys. They’ll finish last. Nice guys. Finish last."[16] Sometimes taken to mean that people sometimes fail at something, even when someone is working hard, playing by the rules and success seems well-deserved; or even that such fair play will actually result in the loss. The latter sense is often used as a justification or rationalization for immoral or unfair behavior. This may also refer to the dating world, in which some believe women prefer men who may not treat them as well as a "nice guy."

This is sometimes said by guys who are nice, but assume that that will result in their recueving what they want. They fail to realise that they actually need to do is more effectively mobilise thier resources, and continually reevaluate thier core and peripheral marketing strategies.

Leo Durocher, baseball manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers back in the forties said that, and he should know.. Leo was not the nicest of individuals.
