He wrote: Being a nice person gets you nowhere.
Be a wise person
Be a people person
Be a wealthy person
Be a successful person
Be anything, but dont be nice. Niceness leads to uselessness! There are 9 fruit of the Spirit and niceness is not one of them. Christ was not a nice Man. He was a wise Man. Do not forget that He made a whip and chased the merchants out of the Temple. How many nice guys do you know who can do that?

federalgovtshapiro: Are you trying to say we shouldn’t be nice, I don’t buy that idea, niceness doesn’t lead to uselessness, I need more explanation pls
isaacyuri12: Be nice sometimes, you will only hurt yourself. The best you can do try and be nice but smart and smarter. Because when you’re nice, people always try to take advantage of that.
