CTE is a life threatening disease , Eddie Lacy just can ' t figure out how calories vs expended energy works . Just like the Bears couldn ' t find a QB if 10 HOFers we ' re available and they had first choice of 11 . And I ' m not saying that , I ' m saying go find some thicker skin if a joke gets you in the feels . Whether or not you want to admit it , it is sensitivity . <| sep |> That , how good you are at what you do , and how far you get in your career , have a really poor correlation . It took me a while to realize that soft skills matter . I still get frustrated at how often someone who markets themselves better , gets picked over someone who was actually adding value to the company . Thankfully , being selfemployed means that this rarely happens to me now .
