Nice Guys Really Finish First - Really?

How can anyone with the brain of a cockroach make such a stupid statement?

So rang out the scorn of a killer talk show host on a television station in Cleveland. When I was on tour in his city, John Kelly quoted Leo Derocher who said just the opposite — “Nice guys finish last.” Kelly also quoted from books like Winning Through Intimidation, Looking Out For Number ONE and possibly, Succeeding With A Swift Kick To the Groin.

John Kelly had done everything except put a dunce-cap on my head as he seated me on a stool before the cameras and, despite his complete ignorance of what I was teaching, proceeded to ridicule my leadership seminar for managers, pastors, teachers and other professionals. He фото вечерних платьев held my book up for the audience of some three hundred people — with tens of thousands more watching from their homes, and asked;

Who can believe this drivel? Everyone on earth knows that a nice guy or gal hasnвЂTMt a choice in this lousy, rotten world. You gotta be tough and mean to be successful. Everywhere! How many agree with me that this stuff is nonsense? Raise your hands.

That was premature since no one there had any idea what I was teaching in the seminar, but they voted as Kelly asked them to. Many had preconceived notions and about two hundred people in the studio agreed with John. He then asked, How many agree with — he didnвЂTMt actually say it — this dunce on the stool, but his non-verbal communication made his meaning quite clear. John was all geared up to take me apart for writing something he didnвЂTMt understand. He pointed to the overwhelming number of hands in the air and said; Take it from there, Doc. LetвЂTMs see how you handle this rejection. He sat down in the audience, as all three cameras zoomed in close — to watch me sweat, I suppose. Because I knew what my program was all about and he didnвЂTMt — I Asus F9E купить countered by agreeing with the host. I said;

If you consider a nice guy or gal a doormat, a wimp, a marshmallow — I agree with you completely. Such a person doesnвЂTMt have a chance to succeed in a tough, competitive world Asus X51 X51R купить in which many other persons are striving for the same things we Toshiba Satellite U400 купить want for ourselves. The tough-minded guys and gals will run over the wimps in a very short time. I, however donвЂTMt think of the doormats of the world as truly nice guys and gals. I see nice persons as competent and intelligent persons who understand the nature of influence, cooperation and persuasion power — as those who;

MANAGE INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

SHARE THE REWARDS OF ACHIEVEMENT WITH THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HELP THEM SUCCEED

CREATE COMMUNITIES OF SATISFIED ACHIEVERS IN WHICH EVERY PERSON IS A RESPECTED MEMBER

And that, I said to the group, is my definition of a nice guy or gal, of an authentic, emotionally honest parent, teacher, manager, pastor, military officer or what have you!

I folded my arms Asus X50 X50VL купить and sat back on the stool — waiting, for I had said all I intended to in defense of NICE GUYS AND GALS. So, I waited and waited — for John to rouse up from his confusion. I could almost hear the gears whirring in his head as first one cam- era and then another zoomed in on me and then on to John and panned the audience be- fore coming back to me and John — for almost a minute. And that, is an eternity of dead time on television. The camera operators were getting frantic when John finally stood, shook his head to clear his thoughts and muttered right on the air;

Well, IвЂTMll be damned! I never thought of nice guys that way.

Most people donвЂTMt but we then had a great time on his show. I convinced him my approach is by far the best way to succeeding throughout life, rather than by clawing and screaming, trying to defeat everyone else, destroying the relationships
