‘Sucking Is The First Step To Being Sorta Good At Something’

Getting good at anything takes a long time and it’s usually a pretty arduous process. Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian reminds us that no matter who you are and how much experience you have, you’re going to suck at stuff the first time around.
