I meant it in the sense that it isn't ideal, it is downgraded from a more honest, and to me, preferable, way of doing things. Thus it is a realistic, or practical viewpoint. In the sense that there is no world peace so you do your best to maintain peace in any way you can, or you can seek freedom by attaining power, but you are not born completely free, you have to go through the complex systems society and people impose on you in order to get what you want. Compromise.
I know some people find it natural to boost themselves to the world and show their talents, I tend to think/prefer that if you need a worker for a job, the person calls you, puts you on trial for a few days, and then based on that ascertains whether you have potential or not. And that's more of a natural inclination for me to think that and not a learned thing.
I tend to conflate the two: marketing and talking bullshit, because to me, there is not much to say about your talents- you have them or you don't.

I wouldn't call this a practicality of life. Practicality = knowing how to repair stuff around the house, building stuff from scratch, being able to grow your own stuff in your garden, cooking, doing taxes, making wise financial decisions, selling stuff with a decent margin. What you're talking about seem to be some kind of sociopathic schmoozing.
