Any fierce person can be overconfident, productive, and a giant douchebag. With fierceness, you can "win" even if you're stupid. (Recent worldwide national political appointees make this a fact.) The "Nerd" part just means this fierce person lacks social awareness.
It's good to be fierce and intelligent, but it's really important to be compassionate and empathetic too. IQ without EQ is wealth without health. If you truly want to enjoy life, if you don't want to make other people miserable, and you would like other people to raise you up in good company, you need to work on how you treat and think about other people. For nerds I think this is as difficult a problem to solve as any other they could attempt.
