Nice People Are The Worst And they Probably Won't Get Very Far

I can't stand it when I'm criticizing some celebrity I've never met and someone interrupts me to ask how my family is doing.

Nice people are the worst, right?

It's the worst when you want to stand around and complain about a week-old situation that's already been handled, when some nice person is always inputting stupid comments like "It could be worse" or "At least you still have other things to be grateful for." And they are SO fake when they smile and act like they really want to know how you've been.

Plus, you know what they say: nice guys finish last.

Our society puts a stigma on nice people. Nice people are doormats and let themselves get walked all over. We should keep all nice guys in the friend-zone. People who are happy all the time obviously haven't experienced anything tragic and probably have lived a perfect life.

You should always have your guard up, because nice people just want to stab you in the back. Make sure you make the people around you feel like trash and be scared to approach you. Only then you will earn their respect!

Respect: a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.

Just because someone is nice does not mean that they cannot be assertive, successful, or that they have never faced any trials in their life.

Life is about talking the bad and making it good. When you feel sorry for yourself 24/7 and don't give anyone a chance to get past your mean front, you are wasting so much energy and opportunity.

Society needs to cherish its nice people instead of making them feel like they can't get anywhere without badmouthing others and having a resting bitch face. Speaking positively and finding something to be thankful for is a lot easier than any of us will admit.

We need to stop using each other to get ahead and build more lasting relationships that will carry more people forward and benefit groups of people, not just individuals. It is a lot easier to get a job done with the help of a friend.

Be nice and treat each other with respect so that your relationships can be mutually beneficial. We would get a lot further as a society if we smiled at each other instead of competing and finding trivial things to get angry about.

Go one day without saying something mean and negative about something and you'll understand why nice people choose to be happy.

You don't have to be mean, you choose to. You don't have to be negative, you choose to. You don't have to be in a horrible mood most days, you choose to.

Choose to be happy and you won't feel so angry.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
