Someone said, " Nice People Finish Last." Whosoever said so perhpas missed the real point altogether. He or she couldn't understand that Nice People are generally not part of the race at all. So being first or coming last cannot be their focus. Not that they don't participate in races; only they shun the races being fought on the ground for they always live on a higher plane. Tell me folks, what do you say? And what should be the true definition of being nice? For me it's simple - not to harm any one in any way for personal benefit. Living a life of integrity without expecting anyone else to follow the same and to contribute your best in whatever you do for achieving positive results which will manifest in something good , which would give a feeling of comfort. That's it!

What's it friends? No comments. I think this should lead to discussion. Being nice could be very interesting because struggle to survive and then grow is so challenging. What's the fun if the ride is absolutely smooth. so come forward, nice people. Thanks!

No, I don’t think so. Nice people are always successful — only you cannot measure their success in terms of money, fame and position. Meenakshi

Nice people finish last because they give space to others. You know when there is a meeting with our Executives, everyone tries to flock them during several occasions during conferences, dinners etc. Who stays around the Executives? The people who have the inclination to wag their tails. Who stays away from them? The nice people who want to give space to those who have the inclination to wag their tails in front of bosses.
In this process the organizations lose a lot, because, the sycophants enjoy the patronage of executives better than the nice people who are more talented if their personality traits are explored and properly motivated. The executives also mistake the self-respect aspect of these nice people as lack of initiative comparing them with these sycophants.
There are two kinds of people in organizations. One who serve the bosses and the ones who serve the organizations. The former ones rise to higher places because of their ability to wag their tails.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Fantastic chandrasekhar, well said! People Wagging tails may walk big but they can't walk tall. Standing in front of mirror they do curse the person looking at them and shrug-off and start to live the same way and at the end do not even have any footprints left for people to follow .
Isn't it good to see that nice people don't wag tails for they don't have one .... for they are humans....

People who are always inclined to "follow" cannot "lead", which means they also lack "leadership qualities". They also lack courage because they cannot afford to say NO to the person they want to impress (wag)...
I don't know why do we accept such people as leaders in our organizations and place them in high positions...just because they are capable of wagging their tails?

One of the reasons why nice people end up last is that they are not recognized in our country that has dynastic politics influencing the political and administrative set up. The same culture is inculcated in the corporate system too. If we can throw new leaders in politics emerging from middle class, this sycophancy problem will come to an end. But how new leaders will emerge in politics where people vote for "choiceless" elections?
No political party would give tickets to intelligentsia, they prefer those who are already in politics or those who are famous (like film stars and other celebrities) or those who either have muscle power or money power.
That is how Indian politics have got insulated from intelligentsia. During freedom movement and there after for two three decades during the prime ministership of Jawaharlal Nehru and L.B. Shashtri there was influence of intelligentsia on Indian politics. There after educated people started shifting towards Corporate sector and Indian politics was occupied by people having already roots in politics or people having money or muscle power.
That is why I have been fighting in many forums for implementation of my Constitution reforms package wherein I have introduced several measures like "No MP or MLA can contest elections more than once". That will ensure new people entering politics. I am enclosing my Constitution reforms Act, 2009 which also contains Q&A (questions and answers) which will throw light on what it is all about. I wish you all read and debate it in as many forums as possible so that you brilliant people would come into politics to not only save the nation but also to lend "quality leadership" to people of India.
You may not understand the Act, because it requires insight into Constitution...but you will definitely understand the Question and Answer session following it.
I hope you will play your part...

OK Sir. I can understand your silence. But the hard reality in our country is that nice people always finish last. The proof is the book I am attaching herewith this message, written on Law. I had written so many laws including "Empowerment of Women's Act, 2009" providing reservations to women. Whether anyone would agree with those laws whether I am eligible to write or not are different issues.
There is quality and competence displayed, initiative taken by me. What job the country should have given to me for this work and the competence shown? You all assess seeing the book I am attaching herewith.
As a HR professional what job you think I am eligible for?
