1. A Lot of Friends
In my opinion, one of the most important advantages of being nice to other people is the fact that you’ll never feel alone ‘cause you’ll always be surrounded by a lot of friends. Everyone would like to have a polite, gentle, caring person as his or her best friend. I know I would… So, don’t let some rude and mean people get you down. Just be yourself, be nice to the ones around you and you’ll see that the right people will appreciate it.
2. You’ll Always Get Help
By being nice all the time you’ll surely be appreciated more for who you are, for the way you behave in spite of all the other stuff that may discourage you. People will acknowledge your genuine nature and because they’ll want to repay you for making them feel so fantastic, they will always be there for you, willing to help you whenever you may need them to. So, be always nice to other people ‘cause you’ll never know when you may need their help.

Yashna: That's Diana Penty!
La'shaun: It's hard to be nice to people that aren't nice to you.
Nathalie: Being nice is the best character trait possible
Ruby: It's okay when people didn't response nice when we are nice to them. They may be in their own head and we can't control that. Why we be nice is because that's who we really are. :)
YanaG: I 💘 this!!!
Ruby: I really like point no. 5 - Test your limits. Sometimes I just feel taken advantage of and would blow my top. With every such episode (after I got calm), I would think how I could do I better because I regretted blowing my top. This point assures me to be better than who I think I am.
Nicky: Awesome! This all is very true! :)
