Maybe you don’t know where the finish line is

“Nice guys finish first. If you don’t believe that, then you don’t know where the finish line is.”

~ Garry Shandling

It’s true. Whether or not nice guys finish last, or first, is all a matter of perspective on the finish line.

Some of the most successful business people I’ve met are real a$$holes. But are they winning, really? They’re making more money perhaps, and they probably have a better office view and drive a nicer car, but is that what matters? I don’t believe that’s winning.

Winning is positively impacting the people around you. It’s treating people the way you would want to be treated. It’s having empathy and lifting someone up when they fall down. 

Or at least that’s what winning is to me.
