"A man who wishes to make a profession of goodness in everything must necessarily come to ruin among so many who are not good." – Niccolò Machiavelli.

We are conditioned by society to be polite, agreeable, and nice. But in the real world, politeness is often interpreted as submission. There are specific moments where a smile and a nod will not save you—they will destroy you.
