I believe in life, you have to know how to strike a balance between being good and being smart.
Life is not all black and white; there are shades of grey everywhere. Like you said, only the smart survive and succeed. To be truly successful, find a formula that works for you and run with it.
My formula is this:
So long as its morally and legally right and nobody gets hurt, it's fair game.
The good guy might see it as somewhat flawed and the smart guy might see it as not smart enough as I don't bring out all fangs to fight. But if it produces results, then I'm good to go.
You couldn't see the message between the lines in this post.
Thanks for reading anyways.
I believe I did. In my opinion you were trying to say that the bad/smart guys come in with their ways to mess things up and get away with it. While the good guys never get rewarded for their efforts and honesty.
I just shared my views, which is that in life you have to strike a balance between what is perceived as bad and what is actually good.
