No one has been remembered for being extra nice alone. I mean, being an asshole is inconsequential if you are brilliant.

Only total losers whine about such silly things in successful people...




Never heard about this dude..


Amazing, kind, intelligent individual that was part of tons of kids morning routines growing up.


> No one has been remembered for being extra nice alone.

That might depend on how strict "alone" is. (Perhaps by definition, only having a singular exceptional trait makes it challenging to be renown.) For example, might Fred Rogers count? Or Dolly Parton who, though remembered for many things, has kindness as a core part of her legacy.

I think many people are remembered for being kind, but only by those who knew them very well, such as family and friends.


Yea, you should be already known for some other things. Then being nice could add to it. But just being nice is not going to make you known.

RIP Dolly

Long live the Queen['s Imagination Libraries]!


Steve Jobs will be forever be remembered as an asshole.


Well, depending on how you define success, I'd say Trump is successful getting elected as POTUS twice. He sure is a brilliant man to be revered, and the people complaining about his allegations are surely losers... (sarcasm to be certain)
