Is being nice is same as being a loser?

ARE NICE PEOPLE LOSERS ?

Who  says to be good is to be a victim of pushover?  Today goodness is adaptive niether absolute, nor inflexible.

Closing your eyes to politics dosen't make you any nicer than you already are. In fact, it gives you an element of naivety and foolishness. The same goes for corruption or the many other evils that are an undesired part of everyday life. When dishonesty is rampant, inhabiting an island of honesty may give you a feeling of superiority, but it certainty doesn't take your stakes any higher.

Rather than siting in soitary moral splendour, it is better to be aware of the games being played around you. This gives you a fair chance of not falling prey to the same, or even better, to try and outsmart the players around you.

With this, you become a player too, albeit a nice one.

the idea is not to partake in the nasty politiciking, but at least, to be aware of how it operates, and to avoid the traps it lays for you. Identify the quaters that target you or your work and fortify your defences against these. When you live in a sea of evil, it would be foolish to pretend  that you can avoid getting wet. Short of actually participating in what goes against your grain, at least, know enough to save yourselves from drowning.

Smart people know how to push right buttons. Just doing your work well and hoping for the fruits of labour to fall into your lap would be unrealistic in the environment we inhibit. In an age of uncertain ethics, where anything goes in the name of success and fame, dharma and the concept of right and wrong at best elusive and far-flung notations. These are not fair or right decisions anymore; it is more pragmatic wrld, where what works, works. And yet you need to be good, and smartly so! So after you finish your task, you do need to crow about it to bring it to notice of the right people and to make the effort of marketting yourself smartly.

In such a scenario, it is critical that you know the right buttons to push even after you are finished with the good work. You hase to splash yourself against it consciousness to be more than a sppeck on its surface.

Each of us has a moral choice and an independent will to asset it. you choose whether you wish to choose the good or the bad, for we have both within us. To be nice is to be boring and left behind the race. But the opposit of nice is an acceptable option. Who would make a conscious decision to be deliberity bad? So the option lef to us is to be niether good nor bad; we need to make a smart choice that allows us to adopt goodnes, and yet be smart enough to escape the effects of evil.

The good and bad all live within us ..... our free choice determines the direction we wish to sway towards. the difference is that along with goodness, comes a responsibility for the bad around you. Closing your eyes to evil is as good as accepting that it has a right to exit.

Blaming others for what befalls you, and in some cases, the bad that hits you repeatedly, is not an option. It just perpituates the problem. Losers never take the responsibility ; winners take responsibility not just for what happens to them, but also for what happens around them. These are ones who the have the gumption and awareness to change th world.
