To Heck With 'Know Your Place'
-
Some people are born to be stars. Others are content, or resigned, to the life of the understudy, the backup, the "behind-the-scenes" person. This article talks to several of the latter. One thing that struck me, as someone who was pushed (hard) into being behind the scenes by people who, as it turned out, just wanted the spotlight for themselves, is the issue of who defines what your ceiling is. I was told to shut up and stay hidden. It was only after I ignored that "advice" (way too late, alas) that my career actually rose. (The Guardian)
