About This Quote
The spotlight does not change a person, it simply reveals what one has mastered in the darkness. In the dark, there is nothing remarkable about you, but when you step forward into the light others see your true character. When you reach for the spotlight you must be willing to put yourself on display. People may look at you admiringly, but they are also secretly judging you.
