Good guys can finish first...

I remember the saying, "Good guys finish last". When you look around, you see that most people reach the top by being crafty, or cunning. A person who is said to be a goody-two-shoes can't make anything happen. Heck, most of the girls I know want to be with "bad" boys, whether it be looks or attitude. Maybe because a good guy is said to be boring, and non-mysterious. Take the case of Superman and Batman. Superman is type of person who dons primary colors, rescues cats stuck in trees, saving the lives of even the villains as well. Batman, on the other hand, has a very dark persona. An avenging angel, and lots of attitude. In terms of popularity, of course batman is hands down, the more popular of the two.

But given the aftermath of the recent NBA Finals, I saw a good guy win over the bad boys. Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs, a man known to be quiet even the most intense of times, NBA's all around good guy, and thus the reason he called boring by many. But with his hard work and perseverance, he led his team against the NBA's resident bad boys, the Detroit Pistons. He even won the Finals MVP. A double victory for the good guy...

Maybe, just maybe, I can win after all...
