The spoken word
A word to the nice guys it's up to you to decide what type of nice guy you will be. Ultimately people will see that you are a nice guy but you as a nice guy cannot
Readily accept the fact that there are bad guys and evil people in this world that you will meet in this life cycle.
You view most people as nice or you give most people the benefit of a doubt before you get to know them. This is where nice guys get hurt, are worse killed in life. You need to identify people for who or what they are, analyze their behavior or lifecycle personality report. (You will find this is no different than a credit report), and react to their deceitful, evil intentions, and of course their hidden agenda.
Analyze the scope of their personality never make excuses for their behavior. And if they stress you out, then that means they're not normal personalities, do not treat them as such, treat them as characters for that is who they are. This will save you a lot of pain strife and regret down the road.
You, being a nice guy will take you through a lot of test, people will take you for granted, people will use you, people will chastised you , and they will take things from you.
Do not let them change who you truly are, be nice ,but be wise, be vigilant study people in their habits, avoid the negative, stay with the positive, choose your friends and your mate carefully.
And know this, when you're in love with a beautiful woman if she's beautiful outside or inside. She is a target and a commodity for you, it is a hard-difficult existence for you and her as well. What men see, and what men want ,they will come after what you have, every man wants her, trust no one and verify all, never change, nice guys finish last but, they finish with honor and integrity and if it means you stand alone then stand alone , ultimately you will come across other nice guys and those would be your friends ,and at the end of your life cycle you will be rewarded remember this, When You're Timeless, time does not affect you, are your beliefs pray and stay true to yourself, believe in yourself
