44 #71 Nice guys finish DEAD last A few years ago in Djibouti, I was handing out bottles of water to a group of locals. They weren’t satisfied with that; they ended up stampeding me, crushing me against a bus. The US Marines I was driving for came to my rescue and got the locals off me. I learned a valuable lesson. Don’t get killed trying to be nice and helpful, because people won’t always appreciate your help. They won’t always be satisfied with what you give them and they’ll try to take more.

Submitted by Tommy, Tishomingo, OK No guts, no instinct People say, “trust your gut” without really committing to that. How often do you get a gut feeling and then act against it because you think you “know” the truth is otherwise? Your power of intuition, your initial “gut feeling,” is a powerful survival tool.
