your success in work is based on how people feel about you, and, more importantly, how you make them feel about themselves
The more valuable a skill you can acquire the less this matters. For example. if you are a master at high end watch repair, nobody cares if you don’t talk to anyone during lunch or get mad when someone interrupts you while you are working on a top customers complicated watch.














I once had a job where I used tar multiple times a day for years. I don’t think I could forget how to use it if I wanted to, which I don’t because I still use it.
