I strongly agree with your post. Gaining skills takes years of experience. We are both new steemians and we are gaining skills here, little by little we will become skilled writer and curator. Being a steemian, the skill that I want to acquire is to become a good curator.
One cannot build good reputation without having skills. Those who are striving to have skills will never be stagnant, they will surely progress in their field of expertise. Keep up the good work bro.
