    Yup, this is every job. Your skills at performing a task are only a small part of success. The bigger part is being able to make friends with the right people.

    Edison and Tesla come to mind. Edison wasn’t the best when it came to electrical engineering but he was good at talking. Tesla was brilliant and is the father of modern electrical engineering but his best friend was a pigeon. During their lifetimes, Edison was much more successful than Tesla was.
