Nice gets you everywere bro,you just gotta avoid the not so nice people who try to drag you to there level. Stay nice bro :smokebuds: 
ten ways that being nice is good for you:
1. Being nice leads people to like you
It is much easier to like someone that is nice. We all want friends that are kind, giving and considerate. We want and need people in our lives that support us and that will be there for us when we need them. The old saying, “Be a friend to have a friend” really holds true and research shows that those with a greater social network are often happier, healthier and more productive!
2. Kindness promotes confidence and optimism
Doing kind acts and being nice builds one’s confidence and optimism. It just makes us feel good about ourselves when we do things for others. Giving of ourselves to others builds up our positive self-image. It also gives us a sense of hope. We feel more powerful and in control when we make a positive difference in the life of another.
3. Niceness makes you feel good about yourself
Haven’t you heard that it is better to give than to receive?!? In fact, studies have shown that the giver usually has a bigger boost in positive emotions than the receiver! Being kind and nice really is good for you. It gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling all over. Of course, these positive feelings carry over into all areas of your life causing a general improvement in well-being. This translates into feeling good about yourself. What a bonus!
4. People will reciprocate in your time of need
From time-to-time, we all face challenges, disappointments and losses in our lives. When you’ve been nice to others during their struggles, it is more likely they will return the favor during your time of need. This is just human nature. Most of us feel really motivated to help those that have helped us. Stephen Covey described this as the emotional bank account.
5. Doing good deeds adds meaning and significance to your life
When you donate money to further a good cause or volunteer your time to help build a house for an underprivileged family or go visit a friend in the hospital, your life suddenly becomes much more meaningful and significant. You are making this world a slightly better place with your acts of kindness. This is valuable and it makes us feel important which is something we all want.
6. Being a volunteer can help you discover hidden talents
Volunteering is a great way to be nice. It can also help you to uncover talents you didn’t know you had. They say that necessity is the mother of invention. Well, when you put yourself in a position to see the needs of others, you might rise to the occasion and discover capabilities that you never knew you had. This can be fun and exciting!
7. Being a do-gooder relieves stress and guilt
Being nice and doing good deeds is a less stressful way to live. It creates less conflict and avoids feelings of guilt over bad behavior. In addition, the act of doing something nice for another generates those great feelings that seem to trump all that stress that we build up from daily living.
8. Helping others will make you feel thankful and advantaged
When we engage in assisting others in their time of need, we often walk away feeling better about our situation. We naturally compare our lives to those that we are helping. This comparison can leave you feeling more grateful for the life you have. You’ll be able to see just how advantaged you are!
9. Being nice fosters a greater sense of family and community
Your niceness will lead you to meet all kinds of people and get involved in a plethora of worthwhile activities. This builds a greater sense of togetherness. Even within your own family unit, you can foster an increased sense of connectedness and fondness toward one another by being extra thoughtful. Being nice has a powerful effect!
10. Engaging in generous acts distracts you from your own troubles
Doing nice things for others can serve as a useful distraction from the the challenges you face. If you are trying to quit a bad habit, then generously engage yourself in helping others to keep your mind off of smoking or eating or biting your nails. This is an excellent strategy that profits you and others!
Go be nice and you’ll experience many positive benefits!

Be nice, till you have to be otherwise...its a skill hard to learn but worthy of all. I remember a line from Kung Fu that goes something like this ( may not be exact ): " avoid rather than check, check rather than harm, harm rather than maim, maim rather than kill, for all life is precious, including your own" Avoid those who affect you negatively, only if you can't and their acts affect you in a serious way, then deal with them, YOU and/ or your family comes first.
What's wrong with me? I'm nice to EVERYONE do random
Acts of kindness all of the time. I just don't know how and haven't been being nice to myself these days
thanks all
For this post, even just to put my noggin elsewhere... Xmass and New Years week always gets my extra depressed and nutty feeling... HERES TO 2014! May we all learn how to

"pher Wiggle"I agree 2013 is not one for the record books... but, Things are looking better! Grow lots, smoke more, worry less! WOOO HOOO!
Not to be the "turd in the punchbowl" but i will post. Hopefully some will see my point of view even though its my opinion. In general, i am nice, kind, and generous day to day. I thank people "drive through servers all the time, and restaurant servers in general if they are trying", I hold doors open to stores/banks/outlets regardless of male or female. You would be suprised how many smiles i get just with a simple "thank you". People in general will treat you better when you are simply respectful of one another. Im 31, the teaching of RESPECT to one another seems to be lost in the generations NOW and in the FUTURE. We shouldnt preach only being nice......preach respect as well, its a whole different attitude. BTW my Friday ritual fast food lunch time run, i elect to pay for the person behind me to pay for their meal. Just spreading the love hoping for a generation to pay it all forward.
Sorry for the edit but as a whole as people, we shouldnt have to only "be nice" to one another", schools and societies need to preach on the lost art of "Respect". Hate to have to edit a post, but its something i feel strongly about that i feel has had a generation gap "lost in translation" kinda trend
