Nice guys DON'T finish last, unless they finish as the last winners.
Instead of coming up with more supporting theories for the notion, I decided to come up with an antithesis. A good example would be me. I'm not nice but I still finish last, forever labelled as the next best alternative.
Although I am versatile and portable, I am, afterall, not a product, categorized by the ratings of my multiple functions. I am not a tool, yet you only come to me when I'm needed. More than that, I am unique, not one of the many in your list. Our relationship is exclusive and irreplacable no matter how else you define it.
