The Ladder
The Ladder
As he accepted the award for the best dancer on stage, he said "My mother always told me that I was born to dance. And that I should reach for the stars. She also said that it won't be easy. There will be people waiting to pull me down. And I etched every word in my heart. Step by step, I climbed the ladder always on guard, waiting to be pulled down. Sometimes I fell too, only to get back up. With every step my confidence grew. I owe it all to my mom, who watches from the skies tonight. As she rightly said, there is no substitute for hard work".
