What is it that is required to move forward

Skills , experience and attitude...

The world is a stage

I still remember Shakespeare’s “All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances...”. God knows how and why things happen but it is true that every action has a same and opposite reaction. We should take the responsibility for our mistakes so that we can avoid doing the same thing again and again. Hopefully our future is bright enough than what we can think of as we are dealing with the present as earnestly as possible. It is also true that it is neither the state nor the country but the world that can be considered as a common platform for all.

From the sky and with the stars

Sky is also not the limit provided you are not lost in the cosmos. What is important here is to know where your home is and how to come back irrespective of how far you go. If you are back from the sky, then bring the stars with you because people on earth will have everything else that they need to survive.
