My Weekly Reminder

Probably the most commonly used phrase to put down the act of being nice is, “Nice guys finish last.”  That phrase was coined by Leo Durocher, a manager in Major League Baseball from 1939-1973.  It was also the title of his autobiography.  In order to better understand what Mr. Durocher actually meant by that quote, it is helpful to take a look at his definition of nice which, in his own words, is: “…if you don’t care whether you win or lose….”  That’s hardly a realistic definition of nice; it’s a definition of indifference.  In reality, people are nice–they make those around them feel good about themselves–precisely because they do care.  If we substitute this definition of nice into Mr. Durocher’s famous quote it says, “Nice guys finish first” which truly is one of the most powerful of all of life’s lessons.  Be sure to bring this up the next time someone tries to tell you that nice people finish last.
