Shining a spotlight
Spotlights are single-ended: they shine light in one direction.
This means if you’re using one, you’re either shining the light on someone else, or you’ve figured out how to shine it on yourself.
If you’re doing the generous act of bringing attention to someone else, it’s best to leave yourself out of it as much as possible. On those occasions, just shine the light … don’t try to steal its glow.
