Think about how you’d like to be described by others when you aren’t in the room. “Nice” is not a word you want to hear. Kind, certainly. Respectful and hard-working. Conscientious. A family-first individual. But never nice. That’s worse than being called boring. You can be boring but still work hard, command respect, and genuinely care for others. Nice, in an implicit way, precludes much of those traits.
