Nice Guys Finish First!

Celebrating the winning ways of Nice Guys….By Doug Rogers

What’s a “Nice Guy?”

A Nice Guy is someone who:

1)  Believes in the inherent “goodness” of others.

2)  Assumes that others sincerely want to succeed.

3)  Treats others with dignity, respect and encouragement.

4)  Believes that this treatment creates better personal relationships and better outcomes.

5)  Has developed strong perspective, balance and self mastery over ego and emotions.

    Jim,

    It’s good to hear from you, and thanks for contacting me through my site. I would love to meet to update each other on recent ventures.

    In short, I’ve been spending most of my personal time with my family since leaving Wyeth 18 months ago. At the same time, I have been playing around with this Nice Guys First! communications platform. Unfortunately (I believe) I spent the bulk of my focus on writing a book. It was fun, but I’m not sure it got me any where. I received lots of advice to start blogging and public speaking on the subject to try and generate some interest. Rutgers would only be my second gig as I’m just getting started.

    Let me know what is good for you in terms of chatting or getting together. My cell phone is 973-896-6812.

    All the best!

    Lieber Doug

    Linda hat Dein Email an mich weitergeleitet, daher nehme ich mir die Freiheit Dir zu schreiben. Dein Vorhaben beeindruckt mich sehr, weil ich an mir arbeiten moechte, diese “Nice Guy” Faehigkeiten zu entwickeln. Um einen Anfang zu machen, habe ich daher den Link zu Deiner Website ganz oben unter meine Internet Favorites gestellt (gleich neben meinem Link zur BBC Britischer Fussball Webpage).

    Mit herzlichen Gruessen

    Heinz Schneider

    AND NOW IN ENGLISH:

    Dear Doug

    Linda passed your email on to me, so I am taking the liberty to write to you. Your endeavor impresses me deeply since I want to work on myself to develop “nice guy” abilities. To make a start, I placed therefore the link to your webpage at a top spot under my Internet Favorites (right next to my link to the BBC British Soccer website).

    Warmest regards,

    Heinz Schneider

    Doug,

    this is a wonderful and very welcome concept. Most people belive that being a tough and bullying carries the day, but not so in my opinion.

    Society and everyone would be better of if this concept gets more embraced. This is particularily true in business.

    Good luck!

    Doug,
    I loved reading about Grandpa Tony!
    I had a similar Grandpa Jack all of 5′ 2″ tall
    with a giant heart, he talked to everyone and called the Mets
    “My Mets”(He grew up in Brooklyn and started out as a Dodgers fan.

    Anyway – I LOVE what you are doing here. I have always admired you as a leader and felt that everyone should follow your lead, I have tried to live my life similarly. I hope this catches on!

    Best,
    Diane Wade

    Thanks Diane,

    I’m going to continue to mix in family anecdotes with the “editorial” posts. Look for “Grandma Mac – No Mrs. Nice Guy” coming soon!

    All the best!

    Doug
