Being a jerk might help get what you think you want (money, success) at the price of what you actually need (self-respect, warm relationships).

That is, of course, if it doesn't backfire. Then you get nothing.

Unfortunately, I´ve seen it bring money and success a LOT of times.

Some of the most immoral jerks I know are extremely successful and very wealthy.
